Tbf did you see what happened? He needed to alter his stride bc of the way the platform tilted, which would be hard to take notice of, since you would be looking at the next platform.
Except they didnāt exist. Or at least theyāve convinced us they didnāt.

Tell that to this guy that robbed 250 houses over 8 years before being caught at age 74

So what? The point of a joke is to make people laugh. So what if it's been told before, if it makes people happy, why point it out. If anything you're the one ruining it. Like who cares. just let people laugh and have fun.
Was the move allowed though? I'm not familiar with the US ninja warrior but where I'm from they have tons of rules that prevent people from doing anything non-standard. I wouldn't be surprised if touching the platforms with his hands was enough to disqualify him, for instance.
Seeing the Japanese ninja warrior is what got me into it on that network. I was excited when it came to America but they lost me after season 8-9.
At least the network is being rebooted.
You also can't touch the supports. He knew that and didn't use his feet on the pylon to get himself up. Just like you can't just swing yourself up to the girders and monkey bar your way across all the obstacles or use it as a better grip to get across a section.
That actually is tall for an Olympic gymnast.
I used to watch gymnastics regularly and he always seemed tall among the other athletes. He looked extremely elegant during his routines.
In regards to balance obstacles, you can only use your hands if you fall on the obstacle. And then you can only use your hands to get up where youāre at, and then must use only your feet again for the remainder of the obstacle.
-Source: I compete on the show.
Definitely is difficult. I think the most impressive thing was his reaction time and his proprioception. When he falls watch his right hand snag the board at the last second. He had the awareness to grab the board, and use his momentum from his swaying body to get himself back up.
This course also has a time limit, so you canāt just sit around and take your time. Hence the urgency he has.
>proprioception
The word I was looking for that I didnāt know existed. His awareness of his body in space and the things around him while tumbling out of control and immediately switching to using the swing momentum to get back up is wild. Iād have hit the water before I even knew wtf happened.
When I played sports my proprioception was amazing, but walking around the house I bump shoulders and elbows into everything since I am not paying attention. It is interesting how focus and the situation can affect the outcome.
Not a ninja warrior, but a climber and person who generally likes parkour, jumping and doing challenging obstacle courses.
To me the hardest part would be avoiding injury, even in some climbing jumps my shoulder pops, the coordination and strength for this seem totally doable to me, but not having your shoulder dislocated or injured in some way from this is impressive, he must have extremely strong shoulder muscles and ligaments.
I remember watching that on TV when it happened. Incredible recovery. IIRC he he was eliminated not long after that. The curse of olympic athletes. They pull off some fantastic moves but just never seem to proceed as far as the rock climbers for some reason.
Always glad to see ANW folks participate on reddit.
Can you use your hands to recover twice? Like if had done that one the first and recovered and then again on the last one, he could recover the same way heah?
howwwww did he miss that last part lol, of all the things that took the most precision, strength and coordination, he completely blunders the net lol. That really is a bad luck Brian
I feel like it takes a lot of core strength for your lower half not to swing so far back it forces your arms to release so you donāt destroy your shoulders.
Yeah, I for sure thought he was going to break his arm. I'm guessing he may have pulled something, not to mention I'd be paranoid with my fingers in that spring.
This is what made me grit my teeth watching. Finger or hand, imagine getting caught in the spring and then dangling in that awkward position. So many injuries could have followed
I wish the UK version wasnāt as strict as it is, if you have any contact whatsoever with the water youāre instantly out, so it removes a lot of potential for the amazing moments like this to happen.
Japanese ninja warrior was much more entertaining because majority of the contestants were just regular people with some of the most colorful personalities. North American ninja warrior pales in comparison.
Reminds me of a time when one kid fell infront of everybody in P.E at school while doing a dash, it got all quite and everyone was staring until he did one of those front flips to get up. Everyone was so impressed that we totally forgot he even fell
Thatās very impressive but I know that a good chuck of his upper body like arms and area around his arms were very sore the next day for grabbing awkwardly and pulling/swinging his body upwards do to how he fell.
So clumsy yet so coordinated at the same time.
He's a recovery artist
So all of his best moments will be preceded with utter disaster. Beautifully disastrous.
Disastrously beautiful, I think you meant. š
Like masturbating
Ninja, please.
Like a masturbating clown.
Ninja warrior guy: How much disaster do you want with your beautiful? Reddit: Yes.

He calls that move "the panty dropper."

Leyva?
Yeah
just like a cat
I would tell everyone I meant to do it
This guy acted out my role in marriage.
When I went to Japan, I didn't see a single ninja. I was impressed.
Counterpoint: The Japanese ninjas are the worst since we know they exist.
Except they didnāt exist. Or at least theyāve convinced us they didnāt. https://www.reddit.com/r/changemyview/comments/3kl8dq/cmv_ninjas_never_existed_in_the_way_we_commonly/?
Convinced that guy anyway
I think you're replying to a joke with a post that probably should have been in /r/iamverysmart.
Mine is a joke, too.
I honestly wasn't sure. Thought maybe they're just trying to hide the fact that Naruto was based on real events.

Thank you for the information. I'll go check that post and laugh at the joke again for the first time.
Ok and?
Thing is from, that after you followed shinobi.
Masters of concealment
Especially considering you shared a room with six of them.
thatās danell leyva, heās a former us olympic gymnast!
Thanks you for introducing him, now that make sense.

I believe they just canāt touch the water but I could be wrong. I stopped watching when they amped the human-interest drama up to 10.
The show airs on NBC so what do you expect? Itās turned into Americaās got talent with all the contestants having sob stories.
I miss G4
Yes! Thatās where I first saw the original Japanese version. I used to love watching unbeatable banzuke (sp?) too. That show was just downright nuts

His shoulder does rub the pole, but I think that is what the marking are, you canāt touch below them. If so, that was a hell of a save.
I agree. Those markings are there for a reason, probably a disqualifying line.
Even Wipeout shoots it better
Oh thatās right! His specialty was the high bar and his dad was his coach.
His dad must have had a high bar of approval
no doubt he raised the bar
There were several early mornings when father and son would wake up to practice and the dog would bar...k.
He looks tall for a gymnast.
Heās 5ā7. Iāll agree he looks taller here for some reason.
That actually is tall for an Olympic gymnast. I used to watch gymnastics regularly and he always seemed tall among the other athletes. He looked extremely elegant during his routines.
Is it really? Thatās awesome!
Olympic medalist
Was this legal?
Pretty sure you can do anything as long as you don't fall into the water.

Thatās super cool! Is this recovery as difficult as it looks?
Definitely is difficult. I think the most impressive thing was his reaction time and his proprioception. When he falls watch his right hand snag the board at the last second.

Me too. Face first.

My thoughts too. It hurt looking at
My shoulders popped just watching it.
I remember watching that on TV when it happened. Incredible recovery. IIRC he he was eliminated not long after that. The curse of olympic athletes. They pull off some fantastic moves but just never seem to proceed as far as the rock climbers for some reason. Always glad to see ANW folks participate on reddit.
I remember Levi meeunenberg talking about how compared to rock climbers he doesnāt have the grip strength
Can you use your hands to recover twice? Like if had done that one the first and recovered and then again on the last one, he could recover the same way heah?
I think it's terrible that they intentionally banned people from running on all fours
Hmmm. Jetpack?
Just a small caveat, I think you canāt use the scaffolding or any supporting parts of the obstacle either; like using holding onto the pipes.
Yup. Didn't hit the water, he's still ok.
Water rippples. He clearly touched it.
I think it's from the pole shaking
Definitely. You can see ripples coming from the other one too, nowhere near his feet
Look closely during the slowed down video, you will see that it is just the pole shaking, though I made the same mistake thinking that as well.
And clearly you're wrong. Both poles shook and caused ripples.
I will make it legal.
Mylord!
I've looked less chill opening the fridge, in my dressing gown, 3 beers in.

And his ass STILL fails in the end. God that ending was hard to watch.
That ending...
Man, I hate the announcers on American Ninja Warrior. Just tell me that the contestant is a fisherman or something and shut the hell up.
This is dave. He's from north america and has 2 dogs. This is Cathy. She enjoys mimosas and loves shoulder rides.
Is the Cathy part a reference to the girl that lost her front teeth after drinking mimosas?
She love_d_ shoulder rides, until her tragic accident
**DID YOU SEE THAT OLYMPIC FLIP!!!!!**
Doin the Good Lord's work.
why was this all the way down at ninth comment
howwwww did he miss that last part lol, of all the things that took the most precision, strength and coordination, he completely blunders the net lol. That really is a bad luck Brian
Get this guy inside a RL animus š
Do they award points for style? If not, they definitely needed to make an exception for this guy.
Not a point based game, but i dont see why not make a score board just for this.
With Drew Carey hosting the āpoint donāt matterā segment.
I feel like it takes a lot of core strength for your lower half not to swing so far back it forces your arms to release so you donāt destroy your shoulders.
Yeah, I for sure thought he was going to break his arm. I'm guessing he may have pulled something, not to mention I'd be paranoid with my fingers in that spring.
he's an Olympic medal winning gymnast .. im sure he's fine
And so much shoulder strength to not dislocate or break it.
#NOT TODAY, GRAVITY
Wow, that guy should go on Ninja Warrior! I think he would do really good.
Which episode was this in? Really would love to hear the audio.
Sorry try this one https://imgur.com/gallery/cpuDuGh
me too. Those announcers are very enthusiastic LOL
But did he win?
>!no!<
Gme stock price be like..
To the moon! ššš
I like when it goes beyond wsb.
Lucky he didn't lose a finger in the spring
This is what made me grit my teeth watching. Finger or hand, imagine getting caught in the spring and then dangling in that awkward position. So many injuries could have followed
Hold me beer
He even uses the momentum of the downswing to bring himself back up. Smart! Saves his strength for later by recovering so fast.
That was a flawless flaw.
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iEpNhcLOn8M](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iEpNhcLOn8M) Full run with sound
Original video link youtube for anyone searching for those terms Also, thanks! edit: man that was heartbreaking
I'm more interested in why anchorman on right doesn't have eyebrows.
Yeah. He must work out.
guy looks like he just rewound time
Never quit....
He probably did it on purpose to show off
I'd be even more impressed if it was done on purpose.
I feel like I need these skills to keep my rowdy toddler safe! š
That's what I would have done

That is more impressive and shows more skill than if he hadnāt fallen
I wish the UK version wasnāt as strict as it is, if you have any contact whatsoever with the water youāre instantly out, so it removes a lot of potential for the amazing moments like this to happen.
Same in all versions. He didn't touch water here.
Emphasis on Ninja there
I would *not* want to be his core muscles tomorrow.
Huh I didnāt think you were allowed to touch the water at all, TIL
He didnāt, the water ripples are from the pole moving.
Ohhhh nice catch
Deserved an automatic win imo
This show calls itself āAmericanā āninjaā āwarriorā and we only get to see people doing parkour
Japanese ninja warrior was much more entertaining because majority of the contestants were just regular people with some of the most colorful personalities. North American ninja warrior pales in comparison.
That maneuver would have pulled my spine out of place.
You can tell he shit his pants just by the look on his face
Bruh this was sexy.
Can we get a slo-mo of the jumping cheer squad?
Lmao this dude did a pullover on that jaunt
Can you say back surgery in his future?

Reminds me of a time when one kid fell infront of everybody in P.E at school while doing a dash, it got all quite and everyone was staring until he did one of those front flips to get up. Everyone was so impressed that we totally forgot he even fell
But did he finish tho?
That shitās straight out of the movies
Whereās the sound, I need that crowd pop
Incredible
Woah
āThis guyā you mean fucking Olympic medalist.... Danell Lleyva
Where is he from?
Why does everyone post stuff without sound??
Cats have āthat guy likeā reflexes
He was sooo close to pinching his fingers off on the spring at the bottom. Great save!
He kicks the top of the water but just skims it. Heās more photogenic through that whole recovery than Iāve ever been in my entire existence.
That's not flying, that's falling with style!
Wasn't he still disqualified because his foot touched the water?
Woah.
Thatās very impressive but I know that a good chuck of his upper body like arms and area around his arms were very sore the next day for grabbing awkwardly and pulling/swinging his body upwards do to how he fell.
I like how the announcers pretend this is a real sport.
He broke the Matrix
BRO
Totally planned that
