New Blood (Spoilers)

[vaughngk]

This a discussion about any new competitors to watch out for this year. New competitors are what keep Suaske and ANW fresh last year it Joe, and Idko. What about this year. This discussion about episodes up to the Miami Finals. So everything up to that point is fair game everything after is a spoiler because they haven't aired yet.

The two competitors I want to start of with is a women and man. The only new women this year worth mentioning is Meg Martin the only of the three women who is a rookie this season and also beat the wall. I also think Meg is the best women competitor I have seen ever in Susake or ANW yes even better than Katcey. Because she has the most important background experience that have severed people well in these courses which are her gymnastics and rock climbing background. Although I have no idea how she did in the Denver finals which I would like to which is funny

Because I know how she did in Vegas

The other competitor also made his depute this year in Dallas Jeremy Morgan. Now what impressed me about him was not that he the fastest in Dallas but because of his dramatic improvement from qualifier when he wasn't able to beat the wall to a couple days of later in the finals when he beat the wall effortlessly and getting the fastest time by  more than a minute he went so fast he beat the finals 30 seconds faster than Katcy was able to beat the wall in finals. Again the speed was not the most impressive thing but his ability to learn and his overall athleticism. Anybody new stood out to you this year?

Kevin Bull... But I'd like to watch Denver too before I really discuss this.

I'd have to second Kevin Bull. That is a guy who shows the ability to not only practice for obstacles, but analyze new obstacles to find a way to beat them, even if by thinking totally out of the box. That is a very important skill for anyone in ANW or Sasuke, and to see Kevin Bull already have that learned is quite impressive.

I'll second Kevin "Aerodynamic" Bull, too. He really stood out at Venice. Really looking forward to seeing him at Mt. Midoriyama.

[vaughngk]

I agree Kevin is one to look out for but what I really meant was rookies that flew under the rader Kevin's run was a was well covered so I didn't I think it was needed to bring attention to.

Im not sure how many rookies finished finals runs.

Venice - Kevin Bull.

Dallas - Not sure

St Louis - Geoff Britten

Miami - Kenny Niemitalo, Stephens Nunnally

Denver - We will find out!

Not a lot of rookie finishers this year. Im psyched to be one of them!

[RobbyMac]

Geoffnotjeff.... or dare I say Geoff Britten?
