Please keep ALL discussion for these episodes in their respective threads. Monday, July 8, 2013 - NBC Network8:00 PM - S05, E04 - Baltimore Qualifying - Part 2 Description: Competitors in Baltimore tackle obstacles that include the Downhill Jump, Prism Tilt, Swing Jump and Circle Cross. This is 1 hour show. Going to be using www.tvguide.com/tvshows/american-ninja-warrior/tv-listings/327397 and winging it to get the correct dates (especially after the debacle with the zap it website).. This is Baltimore, Maryland on NBC. Please keep this specific region on this thread only. Don't bring up other regionals into discussion here. Keep that on those threads. REMINDER: There are people who did not read the respective spoiler threads from when the competition was taped.. please do not include information from that thread here. Stick to the episode shown. Last reminders of course that all of this thread is a spoiler thread for what is shown on G4's broadcast.

So much cuts... notable runs getting FF or barely acknowledged... And my closeup! (OK I kinda got one in Mike Bernardo's high-five run but I had a camera on me while he was on the course damn it *runs* ) In all seriousness not a bad ep, just disappointed at notable stuff getting cut

Yeah, really not liking their sob story over elite competitor strategy this year. Count me highly dissatisfied.

And also disappointed by lack of one run that was perfect for an MV I can't make at the moment, unfortunately I'm going to need to use sideline footage for that line...
On a related, more relevant note, once I can build a new PC I'll be uploading the notable runs I recorded but were not shown

They've got a loooong way to go. 2 more hours of finals for each city, and lots of vegas action. A lot of the guys will be featured later. All the guys that they came out to Jersey to do competitor profiles on were fast forwarded except Brian and Chris W. There's more to come, dooooooodz!

I was visible through many other parts but tbh it's difficult to notice unless actively looking (I was in the front by the end of the Swing Jump)

I'm bummed that daytime runs were cut and that they completely swept under the rug any mention of Friday getting rained out and the rush to finish on time. I think that would have made a good story.
Not that I'm just a tad bitter about securing a walk-on spot after 3 days waiting in line only to be told to leave after only 7 out of 30 walk-ons had run...just saying... >.>

Sucks they didn't mention it

Actually from what I heard only 6 got picked to run, brad martin (dragonbkm) mentioned being 7th and just being cut off, unless Mike Needham was given a spot after them amyways despite being a walk-on (which I sorta doubt because of how comcast hasn't been great to him this season aside from letting him run last of everyone.
But yeah the day runs being cut and acting like they didn't exist, plus the rain issue and pressure of double run which would have made great TV, that was so amazing to see it really Sasuke-like and seeing them switch the course so fast.

Yes there were 6 walk-ons that got to run: Brian, Eli, Justin, Josh, Eric, and Needham.

Yeah I was surprised by that, when I saw him thursday I thought he was doing course recon like others who had spots were, then I get there friday and saw him in the walk-on line which shocked me, I thought he would have got an invite but nope

Needham posted his full run on youtube. The excited cameraman is someone we may or may not know from here.

Hey guys, Mike Needham here. Thanks for posting my run here And I was 7th on the 'List' but ended up getting the walkon #6 spot when one guy (I believe it was Sean Kozhuharov) didn't show up when they were calling out the list names. They did hometown interviews and asked me for extra footage for a profile and stuff, so I'm assuming it's for the semis, like Bernardo said with many of our Lab crew guys. I honestly think they just didn't want to air about me being a walk-on, and now they can show me in semis without having to mention it. Also, maybe they'll mention the back-to-back rounds and cold during the semifinals. Doubtful, but maybe. And Rider...I can't thank you enough man.

No problem, if not for my PC being broke I'd post more cut runs (I have Jamie Rahn, Jesse Villareal (failed Circle Cross), forum member Matt Laesig (failed Circle Cross), I'd have to check what else I have that was cut besides that, I have sideline vid of Chris Wilczewski, Tim Shieff and Bull Bullard but those were shown so not as needed
Really fortunate I got to record your run Mike since it got FF'd and barely acknowledged in the broadcast. Just wondering though, who at NBC did you piss off for all this? Lol
Edit: Yep the mentioned ones are the ones I have, I might be able to put them on YT from my ipod later. BTW Mike, nice technique observation with that crucial big swing with the first ring of the Circle Cross

Wasn't he one of the best people in his region last year? I guess it's more important to show the 43 year old guy who wants to prove he's still in great shape to his family.

Yeah, I can understand not a full showing due to some issue with lighting during his run but he should have at least gotten a FF, Let me go upload the cut runs
