Requirement #1 to be an American Ninja Warrior – you must be sexy! Upper body strength helps as well.
G4’s American Ninja Warrior is a spin-off of the series Sasuke. It’s a US athletic competition in which sexy guys (there’s girls too, but you don’t care about that) have to navigate an insane obstacle course in order to be crowned a ninja warrior. It sounds silly, but think again. The guys have to be like a combination of Jet Li and Spider-Man in order to climb walls, leap from precipice to precipice, and swing from great heights. Most of the competitors are guys who are also into free-running (aka parkour), so that helps them in their quest to be the most agile guy on Earth.
There are no throwing stars or nunchucks, but there ARE short shorts, incredible bodies, and sweaty intensity. Any of these dudes can be my sensei.

I love this show!!!
If anyone watched I think episode 2 with Steven Volcko, if you watch the end of his run, he has a huge hardon while standing on top of the tower 😛
What network is it aired on? I think I’d love this show!
Never mind… G4
it’s also been airing on NBC after America’s Got Talent (I think Mondays @ 9?)
I participated in the try outs for the first season, unfortunately I didnt make it far. My disappointment was slightly mollified when G4 used a take of me, post biff, dropping the eff-bomb in the cold dirty water of shame for a promo clip. First time I’ve ever been bleeped out on tv 🙂
I fucking love this show, though I’ll admit the cocky guys I root to fail.
Go Evan!!! hes the guy on the stairs in blue shorts. He was American Gladiator Winner. Hes so hot.
