obstacle course from hell

Been watching the reruns of Gladiators on BRavo tv (probably only brits that will know of that tv show), and then I stumble across this! I want a shot so badly..

whoa, that's pretty impressive.
This dude should play the prince in a Prince of Persia movie

Except he doesn't look all that persian so it'd be the Prince of Asia I guess, but that's just a minor detail

because persia was not in asia?

good thing that second course was the actual course you were referring to. the first one = boring.

hehe, he's 5'3"

edit: holy finger strength, batman

That obstacle course is from a show that runs under the name "Ninja Warrior" here in the US. Those courses are fucking nuts.

Yep, I saw it the other night. On Spike TV maybe?

It's like MXC (Takeshi's Castle, in Japan) -- a Japanese show that's dubbed and run over here.

They even have the two olympic twins competing in it - one was a gold medalist in gymnastics I believe, and he didn't make it through the first level of the course.

Thanks for the link though - I've only seen the first stage of the course. :icon14:

at the end where he climbs 20m in <30 secs

LMFAO

Aha, I had no idea that the Gladiators show was international (and indeed that it began in America). I guess I was misled a bit by some of the shows that were on with international competitors (including some from the USA) which led me to believe that it wasn't a show aired in the USA.
Sorry about that 5 minutes with google set me straight.

Very prince of persia-esque

Eh, maybe I should watch the whole clip...


Yeah, those are all from the same show. They run a shitload of people through the first course, so they end up finishing the show at night.
