Mid-South Qualifier 1
June 17

Four regions down, and we're on pace to create the strongest field of challengers to Mount Midoriyama on record. So far, 60 have earned a trip to Vegas to try their hand at being the first American to scale the monolith, but we still have room for 40. Next stop, the Mid-South Region in...

MID-SOUTH REGION
Fair Park, Cotton Bowl, Dallas

Today's Qualifier Course consists of...

- QUAD STEPS: Four steps, seven feet between each one.
- LOG GRIP: Hold on past two jolting drops.
- BRIDGE OF BLADES: Or as it's called in Japan, "The Cross Bridge". Four alternating rotating planks
- JUMP HANG: A cargo net and tramp that could be the difference between getting the win and getting wet. 
- ROPE JUNCTION: Traverse yourself through six ropes, one of them longer than the others.
- WARPED WALL: Fourteen feet, three tries.

If 30 do not complete the course, then it goes to the fastest and the furthest. We start here...

Now to the man of the hour, wearing his trademark jeans...
