So I saw a video of a tester do 6 rotations and just fly bail. Safe bail would be 2 more rotations and man if you are not vice gripped with both your arms and legs your going to be wobbly for a while. I WANNA TRY IT

I am so looking forward to ANW this year, obviously for all the wrong reasons such as dodgy obstacle design, Admiral Akbars terrible commentary and questionable editing, but anyway should be fun, any ideas on roughly when they are gonna start airing it?

I have been given results by a spectator who wishes to remain anonymous. 2 finishers: James McGrath (The Beast) and Adam Arnold (St. Louis walkon last year). McGrath had the faster time.
Drew Drechsel, David "Flip" Rodriguez, and one unnamed competitor failed the Ring Climb. Travis Rosen and one other competitor failed the Roulette (the thing that looked like the Hedgehog).
Cannonball Alley was the cutoff, as 10 people failed it. Reko Rivera failed the landing at the end. JJ Woods and Jojo Bynum also failed, with Woods' time presumably being good enough to qualify for Vegas.
There was one unnamed competitor who failed the Cannonball Alley despite what was believed to have been a disqualification on the 3rd obstacle.
There was someone named "The Giant" who failed the UFOs in the finals. |

Also if the log rolls back at the end you might let go at the wrong time and dropping into the water. The good thing I can say about it was you could grip it cause the diameter of the log was smaller. |

This would've been the time I hated it the most. 8-10 rotations?? Geesh. Thankfully the third time was the charm in not getting that damn thing.

I wonder how Brett Sims did? Seems like he always has unlucky runs but I've always liked him.

Thats a disgrace, Brett is literally the first ANW and an early ambassador for it. Respect that he's still into Ninja stuff after 7 years |
