Venice Final 1
July 28

We have 120 athletes. Now it's time to make your final 100 who will challenge the mountain for fame, glory and $500,000. First stop is Venice. Will David Campbell make an unprecedented 5th run at Mt. Midoriyama? Will the Tuxedo Speedo Dan Mast be dressed for success? And will the top finisher Jesse La Flair come with the flair tonight?

It's the Venice Finals, baby BABY, on the road to Mt. Midoriyama and an AMERICAN NINJA WARRIOR!

VENICE, CA
Venice Beach Boardwalk

Joining the qualifier course are three new obstacles...

- QUINTUPLE STEPS
- FRAME SLIDER
- DOMINO HILL
- FLOATING CHAINS.
- TRAPEZE SWING: Two bar swings.
- WARPED WALL
- SALMON LADDER: One rung, five planks.
- ROPE MAZE: Maneuver your rope through the steel maze above
- CLIFFHANGER: The classic configuration with three separate ledges
- SPIDER CLIMB: Wedge yourself inside and climb three stories to finish the course.

Thirty will run the course. Only the top 15 will advance to the Final Sasuke. Remember, win-and-in is still in play.

First up.

- Tony Reddick (35; Culver City, CA; firefighter/paramedic): FAIL Salmon Ladder

- Daniel Dick (40; Walnut Creek, CA; fire captain): FAIL Salmon Ladder
- Dustin Rocho (34; Las Vegas; CPR instructor): He wants to use the money to pay it forward... COMPLETE! (3:48.50) And right now, giving new meaning to the phrase "Top of the world!"

Will Roberts failed on the Rope Maze. Warrior Wipeout goes to Luke Carson (Cliffhanger).

- David Campbell (36; Santa Cruz, CA; sound engineer), the first ever American Ninja Warrior All-Star. COMPLETE! (4:25.17)
- Jesse La Flair (28; Los Angeles; YouTube sensation): FAIL Cliffhanger
