Miami
Final 2
August 12
Last night on G4, 15
tried their hand at the Miami Final course. Only three,
William Brown, Ryan Stratis, and Travis Rosen, have
completed. Now Jason Soares will try his luck, while
Drew Drechsel & Flip Rodriguez renew their rivalry as we
move closer to Vegas and possibly an AMERICAN NINJA
WARRIOR.
MIAMI
Bayfront Park
Joining the qualifier course are four
new obstacles...
- QUINTUPLE STEPS
- UTILITY POLE SLIDER
- BALANCE BRIDGE
- SLIDER JUMP
- MONKEY PEG
- WARPED WALL.
- SALMON LADDER: One rung, as many planks as it takes to reach...
- LEDGE JUMP: Navigate around three vertical planks.
- ROLLING STEEL: A grueling arm bike along an incline track
- 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. Hit the buzzer, go to Vegas.
First up tonight...
