Check this out and looks like they used a new type of net this year for the Jump Hang... I don't really like the I Beam Cross in the qualifiers...it suits better in Stage 3...

I got some good news! Dion Trigg has just revealed that he is coming back for Season 3. If you don't know the backstory, he wasn't accepted for this season, but casting told him he was a replacement if some people couldn't make it for filming and look where he is!

This started yesterday, what were everyone's thoughts?
Personally I don't think NWUK is for me. The thing that's always drawn me to Sasuke and ANW is the idea that ordinary people can do incredible things if thy work for it. In NWUK that sort of takes a back seat and the focus is shifted to insanely unprepared people making themselves look silly for a bit of time on TV. Emphasis is put on the failures and the highlights are supposed to be the falls and sound effects added when people hit their head. Plus the whole 'two dumb men held in check by a sensible woman' thing has been done to death RE the presenters. It's all very Wipeout.
Ironic considering I'm British, but can't wait for ANW9 to start.

I quite liked the first two seasons. I still enjoy how they shorten most runs so we can see more competitors.
But lordy have the replays gotten excessive.

Ironic considering I'm British, but can't wait for ANW9 to start. I think it's the same boring course every year. For example, what is the cargo net still doing there? And it's not just NWUK, it's all European spinoffs. ANW is evolving, but the European NWs have the same easy obstacles that I haven't seen on ANW since like season 3.
Anyway, I'm still gonna watch it because I need my Ninja fix lol, but there will also be a lot of fast-forwarding.

It's been 3 seasons, and the courses have barely changed. It's really quite s***ty.

Log Runner has been in 2 seasons of ANW so that's not a joke on NW UK, however the fact it's all level instead of ascending shows lack of faith But the third Flywheel (not even the whole obstacle) and a cargo net being an obstacle along with the fact the Swinging Frames showed up as a STANDALONE OBSTACLE shows how much they expect the UK people to be jobbers. Also UFO, which is the obstacle name, which is just an atomik disk hold like Area 51 used, on a chain, on a slider, that's the whole obstacle, ATS definitely doesn't have much faith Also let's talk about obstacle names, Jump Hang With Wheel and UFO, ITV is not bringing their A-Game, also Jump Hang with Rope makes "Rope Swing into Cargo Net" they told us in St Louis when that obstacle made the ANW debut look like they at least tried more than ITV did, which is sad because that wasn't a good name to begin with

I was shocked when I read this: www.reddit.com/r/ANW/comments/5nzkye/they_finally_said_it_on_ninja_warrior_uk/There's no real prize if you achieve Total Victory in Ninja Warrior UK. Get ready for a cancellation soon once people protest, because then otherwise the show would be pointless just for ratings and fun and not for money. IDK why Ninja Warrior UK is getting weaker every season. Something has got to change.

So seemingly a guy who competed in Ep. 4 seriously named his daughter Sasuke...
IDK why Ninja Warrior UK is getting weaker every season. Something has got to change. Probably because there are so many joke competitors and it's all kinda a light fun show. It's like comedy and somewhere in between you have a couple athletes who make it up the wall.
