Our First Local Training Session/ Competition

So on June 11, 2013 at 8:00am in the morning it began. We planed a local fun competition at the course after a long hard 2 weeks of building I believe it was ready for some fun. I wanted to run and hold it pretty close to the order and professionalism that production/ casting does while your on American Ninja Warrior to make it as close to what you would experience on the show.
I hadn't tried out the runs yet or even some of the obstacles so I was starting from the same slate as everyone  else. This is going to be fun! Unfortunately alot of people weren't able to make it and there was only a total of 4 of us... Ehh it was ok, everyone had a blast and again wish more of us were there. So this is how things went down.

We will run through the whole course even if you fail and obstacle you ca still continue on. We want everyone to have fun and still get the feeling for running through the course. We did put a limit of 5 attempts on the Warped Wall and Stage 1 was for completion. We had 3 cameras filming with one of them on a hip mounted 8ft crane I had built for this competition. Here is a 22m of video of everyone's edited runs
