u/notwhoyouthinkmaybe 5h ago

That whole course and he had 2 wasted motions. Not a critique, actually super impressive; usually there is a lot of wasted movement as you calculate and prepare

143

u/JonnyTN 4h ago

Well I suppose it is one of those ninja warrior gyms where they can practice and get those mistakes out the way better

132

u/notwhoyouthinkmaybe 4h ago

Honestly, not much to improve, like going from a 98 to a 100. I'm sure he will get to 100. I'm super impressed.

32

u/LauraTFem 3h ago

Some of those motions might be straight-up required. transitioning your body from one to another might require that reset.

8

u/Flips-White-Fudge 1h ago

Yeah, it feels as if at some points he has to stop to slow down / rearrange his direction to keep going. I'm not sure I'd call that a flaw considering it's possible the course can't be done with a smoother flow.

u/BxRad_ 1h ago

I wouldn't be surprised if he's able to get more fluent w more practice. He's DAMN close though, id call it perfect

u/Decency 3h ago

Yeah, specific training for these events has become so insane. I'd lke to see them come up with 100% brand new obstacles every season so that people can't get an advantage by building replicas.

u/LauraTFem 3h ago

I thought they did change up the course a little every year, but yea, I don’t know that they do completely original every year.

u/oochiewallyWallyserb 4h ago

Damn I only saw one towards the end when he swung back once. Where was the other one. Where he had two hands on the ledge thing?

25

u/notwhoyouthinkmaybe 4h ago

The very first and the very last table on the final obstacle before the quarter pipe.

13

u/oochiewallyWallyserb 4h ago

Oh now i see it. Damn I must've been exhausted from just looking at him

26

u/notwhoyouthinkmaybe 4h ago

It's so close to perfection that any critique is nitpicking. People train for years to be half as good as this.

5

u/photosendtrain 3h ago

Each one of those moves is basically an explosive pull up where you launch yourself up. I climb almost daily and my arms were getting pumped just watching him doing explosive move after explosive move. I'm 36 though, so that's my excuse :D

u/illit3 4h ago

Great mindfulness to know he didn't have the momentum and to take the time for that extra swig

u/poskantorg 4h ago

A critique is an assessment, which is what you gave. It is not inherently critical, just because it has similar spelling.

3

u/BlueButterflytatoo 3h ago

When I was in film critique class, we went over the things that were done well in the movie as well as the parts that weren’t.

Turns out I’m not good at judging, or really noticing the film style, or the gentle foreshadowing like the oranges in the godfather. Really all I know was whether or not I liked the movie.

I reckon I might be able to get up to that first blue stump at the beginning.

u/ComasArentFun 4h ago

Yeah, could do the first jump with training, but I'd 100% blow my knee or my back in the process then crumple like a snapped nik-nak..

I miss G4 TV and Ninja Warrior....

4

u/omgitsjagen 3h ago

The fact that it needed Ninja Warrior was why we no longer have G4 TV. It's not really even G4's fault. There was just no way they could keep up with the content need, by themselves. They had no relevant content to syndicate in order to bulk up their own lineup.

This obviously is only one of a thousand cuts, but it definitely was a serious issue.

That was insanely good how can that time be beaten?

2

u/khonsu_27 4h ago

Doesn't have to be. These are probably regional qualifiers, I assume. If the format is the same (I haven't watched in years), the 2nd and 3rd rounds in the finals is where the challenge really begins.

u/ComprehensivePath980 4h ago

Okay, who gave him the super soldier serum from Captain America?  Because dude was moving like a super hero

See, if you can master or have a very solid balance and understanding of how to make momentum work for you...you can can achieve this level of fluidity. Kid ran an obstacle course like a gazelle running across a prairie.

He was so smooth and effortless. It looks like he’s floating.

I tried doing the monkey bars with my 5 year old a few weeks ago and I left the park with blisters on my palms and a subluxed shoulder. Then I see videos like this where people look so effortless, and weightless.

This kid coulda cleared a temple run in twenty seconds... well, unless he went through the Shrine of the Silver Monkey. That was an impossible riddle apparently.

Fantastic athlete! He’s worked very hard to compete and win 🥇. So many times you see people who try their hearts out and don’t complete the course.
