Also, it seems obvious that this guy went to cover the event with very little knowledge ahead of time. What gave it away? That he kept refering to regular Ninja Warrior as American Ninja Warrior when he didn't say Sasuke.. The fact he thought Brian was a joke competitor, the fact he thought Sasuke/ANW was some kind of Freerunning competition or the fact he thought Oti was doing the Jumping Bars wrong when actually he was (one of the few?) doing it right.. XD

XD Actually, it was when he said G4 never tried to capitalize on Free Running. The article's not perfect, but it's nice to see that in the end he took the show seriously and didn't portray it as just another wacky Japanese Game Show.

LOL Agreed on that part about G4 not capitalizing on Free running. I cracked up on that. Still like you said he became a fan at the end even if the conclusions getting there were flawed. I'm curious if after watching the show (even *gasp* Ninja Warrior) he'll write another article.

Misinformation aside, I think he did justice to Oti's run. Chalk up one to Oti for converting another non-believer. Glad to see you did well on your run Oti. You deserved it after all your hard work to get there.

Can you blame him? I dunno. According to him, I'm the only one who looks "normal". I saw plenty of people who weren't super fake looking. Must be my super glasses!

Traceurs and free runners who DO strength train, though... Ooooh man. Fierce competitors. This makes me happy ;D I only wish I were old enough to try out... and had had enough money to get there Ah well... I'll keep nudging Virgin Media and M9 for a couple more years

.. that option is no longer there.. it's only hashtags under the refined section (which is new). If there's a feature to revert to the old system I'll gladly use it.. if I can find it.

I don't see anything different either whether I'm logged in or not. I'm able to sort it by date just fine as well. What does the refined section look like?
Just saw that Ryoga Vee's Slider Jump fail is on Break.

In case you guys didn't know, David campbell, travis furlanac, and I think Brian Orosco all made it to the top 15.
Also from the comments it sounds like David actually made it to Japan this time.
Dunno if this info is late or anything, just getting my information through the grapevine called Facebook.
