Way to go dude! That's what's up. I'm still trying to get mine to eat. He loves dirt and grass, but real food? Forget about it. He thinks our house is an American Ninja Warrior course lol. Turns 6 next month.

@kelly4 , please come and chime in on how you might use ANW to motivate your son

I think they're developing an obstacle called The Closet...

My kid would kick ass at the closet! It’s his favorite thing.

If you want a kid to thrive, you have to set them up for success, you know? Practice makes perfect and also gives me time to relax.

The generational differences are fascinating, good to see you over here.

Wow! Sandy Zimmerman, 42 yo mom, is the first finisher of the night out of about 16 MEN, and the very first mom (and oldest woman) to ever hit a buzzer (complete a course). Just amazing...



Her kids must love it - 'My mom beat ALL of your dads!'

I hope you guys got to see the very best episode of ANW EVER! My man Drew Drechsel finally won the million dollars, and was only the third person ever to complete Mount Midoriyama (Stage 4) on ANW. Drew had a perfect year winning every special pass, and completing every single course, usually with the fastest time. On top of that, he is in the process of opening a new ninja gym, and his new wife is pregnant so he gets to begin his new family with a million bucks. It's about time, Drew. It couldn't have gone to a more deserving guy. Fuckin' A...

Ahh I remember this thread..back when buckles was half decent. Ahhhhh the good ol days




I barely watch this anymore..sometimes ill be feelin it tho.They cut the drama out of it for the most part last i seen..that was a turn off for me. Tyler thats a cool story bruh...very deserving!

I grew up watching it back home in Japan before they shipped it to America. I personally think the Japanese version is better.
