I can't stop watching ninja warrior

This is pretty much the coolest show ever. I keep watching it on TV, looking at youtube videos, and reading articles online. I'm gonna step up my current physical training, because I'd love to go to japan next spring to compete in this.

    This is a pretty awesome show, but based on what Ive seen, if you want to compete next time, then fuck, you must be ripped as all get out.

    It is one of the neatest competitions I have seen come out of Japan, the one youtube video I have watched seemed pretty insane for how much the guy put himself through.

    Yeah watching the show is amazing inspiration to get in shape. You keep seeing all the same guys training furiously and they keep coming back despite the fact that they keep losing.

    No, it's 4 different obstacle courses that get harder with each one. They see who can make it to the end. In the 18 times it's been held, only 2 people have completed it.

    no, they ahve to make it through this nearly impossible obstacle course, failing over and over and over.

    out of 50 contestants, MAYBE 2 pass.

    That's sounds hilarious and interesting. Is it like jumping and climbing, or do they dodge flying arrows and boulders? They would get more viewers if the contestants were in danger of dying.

    Spending an extra $10/month to get a channel with 1 good show when that show will probably end up on DVD eventually is not particularly thrifty.

    I don't believe they have to fend off weapons, from the little bit I've seen, but they do have to do some serious crazy shit that you see ninja do in movies. Like climbing up like 50 feet between two sheer walls just by pushing out with your arms and legs. Go YouTube it up. It's nuts.

    no one will pay you to be a ninja now (unles you win ninja warrior)

    Also, I fucking love this show. But usually you see almost half the contestants fail on the first obstacle.

    Precisely! I hope the DVD release is swift and deadly, like the ninja.

    I have a total mancrush on that guy. I wish I could do handstands on the mast of a fishing boat.

    This is the only sporting event that I get pumped for.
    Like jumping up and down cheering the guy to win.
    Going crazy when he just barely manages to hit the red button in time.
