ANW3 Final Runs (SPOILERS)

[Nealio]

I'm new here, but just thought that I'd share that my heart goes out to David. He was so close to beating that ultimate cliff hanger. I really think he will get it next time if he just keeps up the training.

Update on Drew's injury:

He's having surgery tomorrow.

[RiderLeangle]

How badly did he break it if he still needs surgery a month or two after the accident?

It was kind of sad watching his run knowing it would happen, Although the initial rumor made it surprising, When he was approaching the Giant Swing I was thinking "Oh s**t... Oh s**t..." then he cleared it, turned to thinking maybe the Motorcycle thing was true and without a second thought switched to GO!!! GO!!!
Then the crushingness (of both dreams and his knee) on the HPA...

But I don't know if he's reading this but if he is, I wish you well and hope you have a quick and effective (and painless) recovery"

[arsenette]

You apparently don't read my updates on it..

KNEE UPDATE: Got the results from the MRI :/ Torn ACL, tear in the MCL, Tore both the Lateral and Medial Meniscus, Chipped Tibia and Cracked Femur. Cant get surgery for another month. Might not be ready fro American Ninja Warrior 4
August 16 at 12:24pm

and recently:

UPDATE: I get surgery on Monday the 29th to repair my ACL, and both my meniscus, hopefully they aren't too damaged or I'll have arthritis at a very early age So Wish me Luck, and Much Better News to come Later tonight regarding a tour I'm having Any city suggestions? =p

[quasikoz]

My thoughts are with Drew. Hopefully he can rebound from his surgery.

I like the idea of the "Recovery Tour", hopefully he can book a bunch of different cities.

I didn't spoil myself with news of his injury before the ANW3 Finals so I was crushed as he worked his way over to the Warped Wall.

Was Drew the weird guy that threw up in Jump City: Seattle?

[RobbyMac]

No he was on Rogue, not tribe. You're thinking of Jeremy somebody.....

[Homeslice]

Jereme Sanders. But I think Drew was suffering from a toe injury himself.

Man, my thoughts to Drew, I really hope his recovery is quicker than it seems like it'll be.

KNEE UPDATE:: The surgery went very well & I'm still a little loopy lol they were able to repair 1 meniscus and only had to shave a little bit off the other one. That was my main concern because the meniscus cant regenerate or be replaced. The Hamstring graph for my ACL went well as expected too. However, because everything will heal stronger in the long run, recovery time will be longer than expected. ANW 4 chances are a bit slim. :/

[Nealio]

I'm glad Drew's surgery went well. He seems like a really nice guy. My thoughts and prayers go out to him for a speedy recovery. I felt awful when he went down in ANW3--I hadn't read any rumors so it was a total surprise to me. It looked really painful though. If he wouldn't have gotten hurt, I'm sure we would've put all 10 Americans through the 1st stage.

Hopefully he will be good to go by the time ANW4 comes around.

[jfeathe]

It's a shame the injury was so serious. I can't help but think it could have been avoided or at least minimized had the HPA been designed more responsibly.

I hope Drew's medical expenses were taken care of and I wish him a very rapid recovery with no future complications.

Rewatching the runs, what is the obsession of referring to everyone by their full name?

Because the NBC runs are, well, on NBC, everything else was on G4, a channel that doesn't get much promotion outside itself and not everyone gets, so everyone watching may not know who these people are

I prefer them using their full name honestly.

[RiderLeangle]

To be fair the Japanese announcers do that too
