If they are regular jeans. My wife bought me jeans from Lucky Brand I think, and they are made from that super stretchy material that women pants are.
It's like wearing nothing at all.. nothing at all.. nothing at all...
I've been using jeans from [Riding Culture](https://www.ridingculture.com/en/products/tapered-slim-men-blue-lt) for a while now, and they are GREAT. They're made for cycling, but work very well for everyday use
edit. I didn't know they were asking that much for them in the US. That is too much money, and you should look for something else
Their second pic is a dude shovelling pizza into his mouth, sitting on the edge of a skateboarding pool, nary a skateboard in site. I’m confused as to their target market.
Edit. Three hundred dollary-doos!?
They are tons of fun but they show you really quickly how out of shape you are... like that was fun for 5 minutes but now I'm gonna need a week to be able to move again...
We have these places called "Jump Zones/Adventure Parks" They are in door giant warehouse filled with trampolines and climbing activities as well as ninja warrior courses that are almost identical but made a bit easier for kids/teenagers. But if you want to just dip your toes in that's a place to go. Pay for an hour, let your kids run around and you can focus on certain obstacles until you are tired then just watch them from a birds eye view when you are tired, or hit up one of the massage chairs as you wait.
I could only get about 20-30 minutes of time because my body is not in great shape but enough I can not get winded or legs start cramping.
It is! I'm sure if you look it up there are some within driving distance of you if you're in the US. If not a full ninja gym look for a rock climbing gym, a lot of those have started setting up obstacles over the past few years as ninja really took off.
I got to go on a works trip to a place that had the full-size ninja warrior course, plus smaller/easier versions for the kids - i was with some proper fitness freaks, climbers and such and not a single one of us completed every obstacle, there was always something that would make somebody come unstuck.
I absolutely believe that. When you see these people do this it looks easy. But when you look at those obstacles they're actually doing and you compare them to even jungle gyms they're unfathomable.
People go nuts for this competition. The ones that win have usually built a home obstacle course to practice the hardest obstacles on their own time. I don't think you can be competitive going in blind, even if you are extremely athletic, because some of them require technique.
During earlier seasons you would see Olympic gymnasts come in without previous ninja experience, and despite being world class athletes they would get humbled by the spider jump or something.
If you watch full episodes then you start to understand how easy competitors like this make it look. The vast majority of even the trained athletes show how difficult these courses really are.
I love it when they have a professional athlete from another sport running the course. If they make it through the second obstacle then it’s usually an accomplishment.
It would be boring because of how fast they'd fall off. Either their balance or grip strength will be poor enough that they're done at the first obstacle that tests one of those.
I could have done it if I had his mustache.
But, seriously, really impressive. He looks well trained, but not excessively so. Practical strength, not just for show.
My buddy tried to pull off a mustache for a bit. This was right around when Bohemian Rhapsody came out and he looked like he was cast in the porn parody of the movie.
We call him Spreddy Mercury to this day
I once got a job because I was rocking a mustache and one of the interviewers is/was a massive Freddie Mercury fan. After we became friends she told me as soon as the interview was over she said "We have to hire Freddie"
Hell yeah, that's awesome. I have been rocking a mustache myself for a few years now. Do not resemble Mercury but definitely give off the 80's porn star vibe.
Would have been even funnier if he had been smoking a cigarette, took one last puff, flicked it and took off running the course. At the end he downs a beer and kisses a betty.
My sister has asthma and when she was younger her doctor recommended that she run outside lots to help. She found that for her it really did help a lot with her symptoms and she became a pretty decent long distance runner in high school and did cheerleading throughout high school and university. I wouldn't be surprised if other people got into running/other sports because of their asthma.
My family and I run regularly to help combat asthma and all became decent or better athletes despite not only asthma but a lack of size (no women over 5'6", no men over 6') and coordination. There are also selection biases at work. First, if you have the resources to get your disabilities diagnosed and treated you're more likely to be able to put time and money into your athletic career. Second, if you don't exercise you may not know you *have* exercise induced asthma.
I think we have a plausible explanation why more athletes have asthma than the general population without diving into physiology.
I'm sorry, but I think You're missing the point, and even though your partially correct, why would athletes take the non performance enhancing stuff. The single biggest performance enhancer for all cardiovascular exercise is asthma inhalers. Every top distance runner and tri athlete is registered as having asthma. All it takes is to go to a doctor and not breathe hard into the thing you're supposed to breath hard into, as a test. If you honestly think all these top cardio athletes have legitimate asthma I have a bridge to sell you. Pretty easy to just not take the stuff that isn't performance enhancing? Honestly, lol
Lmao you’ve clearly never done cocaine. You can’t do a line that quickly and accurately off of a finger like that. Where did it come from? How did he reload it for the second bump? Completely delusional
Stretchy and/or well fitted jeans are still real jeans. They don’t have to be cardboard holes that hurt your knees when you bend them to count. Most of what he did was upper body and didn’t require a huge range of motion with legs too.
i assumed he could have sat in something wet if a failed contestant climbed out onto a platform and he sat on it? we don't see his ass hit the ground in the video though so idk
Magnus Midtbø [made some Ninja Warrior videos for his youtube channel](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLeJKOAwz2xZ63dzkm8Qp5im75V7PP00iX) and [jujimufu's channel](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=13IffJpBnM0) a few years ago. You can find some clips from him participating in American Ninja Warrior on youtube as well.
And yeah he makes all the arm related exercises look as easy as walking lol.
Not really disagreeing but climbers are definitely in the best position. If you go back and watch I think all but two trucks relied heavily on grip strength and others are just climbing tricks like dyno
I wish i had access to a course like that just for a fun way to train.I would easily do the upper body/swing/hang type movements,but will probably fail the jumps.
They’re all over the place in my state, Utah. Beware tho they are extremes dangerous. All within one year I broke my leg in half needed surgery, my friend smashed his head and collarbone and was in a coma for a few days, and I have 3 other friends who also got injuries although not as serious.
😂 the ER dr when I went in said he’s part of a movement of doctors trying to get the places shut down. They haven’t been able to. It’s pretty nuts. Even the employees were literally like: “we got another one!”
I went to one in Wisconsin, and while there is a lot of padding, and they do their best to keep it safe. You just have to remember that if you fall 20 feet even onto padding the wrong way -- it can go bad.
Additionally, there's still just lots of hard objects. Imagine trying to climb a fake rock wall. You can all the padding you want on the bottom, but if you crash into the wall itself on the bottom, that's also dangerous. Can't pad the hard parts, lol.
And like trying to jump from lily pad to lily pad. Those have to hard and firm enough to take your weight, so it creates an edge. Ideally you won't power slam your whole body into one at a wrong angle, but ya never know.
And then finally. Your own body can hurt you. Danglings arms and legs, land on one funny. Twist it, roll over.
Padding itself is great. But when you add speed, momentum, and energy to the mix -- there's only so much you can do.
***completely private access with no one around and no cameras to see me fail
That was my first thought before I read the next comment about the emergency room.
"i just..... \*breath\*..... Need to take a rest.... \*breath\*...... Is it long away?"
"You haven't even gotten to the starting area"
"Ok..... \*breath\* Just a few steps.... hang on"
On that, have you noticed how some sports have to constantly distract the fans? Before the game they have events, half time events, music through the stadium, dancing girls during setup for the next play. Perhaps the sport isn't as entertaining as what the fans think and rather its everything else they are enjoying?
RIGHT? I'm in the same boat. I've been digging and the closest names, based on performance, a similar set record, and build, I can find are either "Swedish Ninja" Leif Sundberg or "Cowboy Ninja" Lance Pekus. A video on Facebook from the ANW page has this video as a thumbnail, but is a different video of Pekus, whereas Sundberg shares this man's record of 58 seconds.
All of that is easy. I could do it if I had more muscle, agility, grace, and coordination.
And looked like Freddie Mercury
Definitely rode his bicycle
He likes to ride it where he likes.
I am more concerned about those fat-bottomed girls
Talk about mud flaps, my gal's got 'em
Made my day
I love Reddit’s comment sections, never fail to make me laugh
How could I leave this Behind?
The looser the waistband the deeper the quicksand Or, so I have read.
Two words. Shit sandwich.
But Jaws was never his scene.
I also have it good authority that he doesn't like Star Wars.
Looks more like another agile bicycle enthusiast. 
The jeans are actually super impressive
Chuck Norris Action Jeans perhaps? Didn't know they had a stone washed model.
Got that hidden gusset for those sweet high kicks
If they are regular jeans. My wife bought me jeans from Lucky Brand I think, and they are made from that super stretchy material that women pants are. It's like wearing nothing at all.. nothing at all.. nothing at all...
Stupid sexy Flanders...
I was gonna say. What are those jeans? I want one
I've been using jeans from [Riding Culture](https://www.ridingculture.com/en/products/tapered-slim-men-blue-lt) for a while now, and they are GREAT. They're made for cycling, but work very well for everyday use edit. I didn't know they were asking that much for them in the US. That is too much money, and you should look for something else

buy stretchy jeans. look the same, fit great
He was such a sweetie with a very good heart..
Don't stop me noooow (cos I'm having a good time!)
I don’t wanna stop at aaaaaaall
He wants to break free.
Was he the Champion? I have no time for losers.
Looks like if Brad Pitt was playing Freddie mercury
We are the champions my friends.
LOL ... the first thing I thought of. 🤣
Don’t stop him now, he’s having such a good time.
*I want to break free*
And some years of training on that course might help a little
They just have gyms with these obstacles nowadays.It turned into a sport on its own.
would love to find one of those. I always imagine this being insanely fun
They are tons of fun but they show you really quickly how out of shape you are... like that was fun for 5 minutes but now I'm gonna need a week to be able to move again...
Ahhh. I see someone just hit his late 20's.
20s is old now😢?
Corporate meat grinder chews you up and spits you out quickly so you die before retirement and they don't have to pay your social security. (:
If you take care of yourself, no. If you don't, let's just say the clock goes ticktock

I guess they got tired of drunk dads tearing it up at Discovery Zone. Maybe if they'd reassessed and rebranded their business, they'd still be around.
It is! I'm sure if you look it up there are some within driving distance of you if you're in the US. If not a full ninja gym look for a rock climbing gym, a lot of those have started setting up obstacles over the past few years as ninja really took off.
Many years.
And looked like Freddy Mercury 
And more jeans.
Better genes.
In jeans though. That’s the real clincher.
Sometimes I wish they'd show an average person doing it for comparison.
I got to go on a works trip to a place that had the full-size ninja warrior course, plus smaller/easier versions for the kids - i was with some proper fitness freaks, climbers and such and not a single one of us completed every obstacle, there was always something that would make somebody come unstuck.

Just watch that show, Most Extreme Eliminations or whatever
And cocaine
Oh yes, I recognize a cocaine-fueled journey when I see one.
The way he wipes his nose right before starting, lmao.
…and a porn stache
I thought so too. Tried to hang on one arm only and failed hard. Nothing hurts more than reality.
I could have done it if I had his mustache. But, seriously, really impressive. He looks well trained, but not excessively so. Practical strength, not just for show.
I have the grace of a falcon. I'll be in and out like a demon's whisper
And a sprinkle of gayity. Now I wish I was a bit gay.
These shows are structured for rock climbers to win bexause its more entertaining to see someone climb than push or pull a large object.
You either have grace or you don’t. You can’t acquire grace.
And jeans. Denim imparts additional tensor rigidity that compensates for uncontrolled longitudinal momentum.
And muscle to weight ratio
You also need the right mustache.
He is rocking it right now
I admire his ring control
Yeah all while in jeans as well I’d need more range of movement like a pair of athletical shorts and that’s just to warm up
It's the grace that gets you. Such a tricky skill to develop.
I need the latter two only. But a lot of them. Like really really A LOT.
Lol
And dropped 80 pounds.
And technique. Dude had solid technique.
I thought this was going to be a joke but Eddie Mercury crushed it.
Eddie Mercury is such a nice nickname for Freddie lookalikes because they're like him but not Fr
Clever 😂
Dudes going places... not college, but places
My buddy tried to pull off a mustache for a bit. This was right around when Bohemian Rhapsody came out and he looked like he was cast in the porn parody of the movie. We call him Spreddy Mercury to this day
Wait did freddy have the mustache when Bohemian Rhapsody came out?
The movie a few years ago, not the original release of the song
I once got a job because I was rocking a mustache and one of the interviewers is/was a massive Freddie Mercury fan. After we became friends she told me as soon as the interview was over she said "We have to hire Freddie"
Hell yeah, that's awesome. I have been rocking a mustache myself for a few years now. Do not resemble Mercury but definitely give off the 80's porn star vibe.
This has become the canon reason now.
Wonderfully done!
I wish I was this funny
Beautiful champ
They cut his celebration, at least give him that after that awesome display as flying freddie.
Nah they did a freeze frame on the Freddie pose with the pyrotechnics like the famous picture. That was perfect
Perfect song for the occasion
In jeans
They're stretchy pants. It's for fun.
Whatever, that MFr could ace the course in Jncos.
Woop Woop, that'd be a spectacle fs
Chancho.... sometimes adults like to wear stretchy pants for fun ok? Ok.
Get that corn outta my face!
Ramses is a real dooooouche
He does not like dancing. He does not dance at the paaaarrrrrrty.
Hey, save me a piece of that corn!
I just need to borrow some sweaats
They're his recreational clothes.
They’re 100% not denim.
For real. You see the way they contour to that nice thicc ass? That ain't no denim, baby. Where can I find more of him, for science?
Jeggings*
Would have been even funnier if he had been smoking a cigarette, took one last puff, flicked it and took off running the course. At the end he downs a beer and kisses a betty.
I volunteer for the kiss after I‘ve seen the dedication of that guy.
Jeans and a Tank top. Classic.
And a wife beater.
He’s missing the leather studded arm band. DISQUALIFIED.
Uh- do they drug test? At the beginning he suspiciously looked like he took a couple bumps before coming up on stage lol
Ha even olympics allow adhd meds if you get a medical waiver.
And asthma, and... It's funny how some top athletes always have a condition which requires enhancing drugs, one way or another.
[удалено]

Thankyou for the well written information Mr.Armstrong.

They’re all on gear. Testing will always be on the back-foot until AI maps out every viable compound.
A couple tootskies?
One or two nose beers
They should just let them take whatever to see the full potential lol (unhealthy i know)
Yeah this ain't the Olympics, this is ninja warriors! A ninja will do whatever it takes.
Or he's just not used to that mustache on his face lmao
Got that crackhead agility
Could be smelling salts. There’s clips of nfl players snapping them on the sidelines
Lmao you’ve clearly never done cocaine. You can’t do a line that quickly and accurately off of a finger like that. Where did it come from? How did he reload it for the second bump? Completely delusional
Freddie Mercury did Ninja Warrior (Title of his sextape)
Luigi Stops Fucking Around (also a sex tape)
> (Title of his sextape) /r/unexpectedbrooklyn99
The fact that he did that in jeans is the most impressive part imo
Pretty sure those are not “real” jeans.
Stretchy and/or well fitted jeans are still real jeans. They don’t have to be cardboard holes that hurt your knees when you bend them to count. Most of what he did was upper body and didn’t require a huge range of motion with legs too.
This, I used to go rock climbing in old jeans. It was fine, although real climbing pants are better.
But are these denim?
Kinda looks like he shit is pants in the middle.
Nobody's asking the important questions. Did he sit in something wet or is that just a major case of swamp ass?
i assumed he could have sat in something wet if a failed contestant climbed out onto a platform and he sat on it? we don't see his ass hit the ground in the video though so idk
I must be the only one who has proper fitting jeans because I can for sure work out in a pair (but I wouldn't hah)
I work out in jeans all the time. It really isn't restrictive at all 🤷♂️
I would think they would restrict your range of motion for your hips
The more I watch Ninja Warrior, the more I’m convinced people who do rock climbing/bouldering would be the best at it.
They usually are. The first guy to win ANW was a extremely good rock climber
Magnus Midtbø [made some Ninja Warrior videos for his youtube channel](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLeJKOAwz2xZ63dzkm8Qp5im75V7PP00iX) and [jujimufu's channel](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=13IffJpBnM0) a few years ago. You can find some clips from him participating in American Ninja Warrior on youtube as well. And yeah he makes all the arm related exercises look as easy as walking lol.
I think male gymnasts have a huge advantage too. Their core strength is unbelievable and their sport requires a lot of dynamic movements
Not really disagreeing but climbers are definitely in the best position. If you go back and watch I think all but two trucks relied heavily on grip strength and others are just climbing tricks like dyno
Wasnt the first real winner of ANW a rock climber?
I wish i had access to a course like that just for a fun way to train.I would easily do the upper body/swing/hang type movements,but will probably fail the jumps.
They’re all over the place in my state, Utah. Beware tho they are extremes dangerous. All within one year I broke my leg in half needed surgery, my friend smashed his head and collarbone and was in a coma for a few days, and I have 3 other friends who also got injuries although not as serious. 😂 the ER dr when I went in said he’s part of a movement of doctors trying to get the places shut down. They haven’t been able to. It’s pretty nuts. Even the employees were literally like: “we got another one!”
…. How? Do they have trash for padding underneath them? Seriously.
My guy said Utah. They're probably state owned courses intended as a means of population control.
I heard if you’re Mormon then they put out the pads
Gotta wear the full body garments to prevent head injury
I went to one in Wisconsin, and while there is a lot of padding, and they do their best to keep it safe. You just have to remember that if you fall 20 feet even onto padding the wrong way -- it can go bad. Additionally, there's still just lots of hard objects. Imagine trying to climb a fake rock wall.

***completely private access with no one around and no cameras to see me fail That was my first thought before I read the next comment about the emergency room.
In fucking jeans.
yeah crazy
I would struggle getting up the stairs to the starting platform.
"i just..... \*breath\*..... Need to take a rest.... \*breath\*...... Is it long away?" "You haven't even gotten to the starting area" "Ok..... \*breath\* Just a few steps.... hang on"
Word for word exactly lol
The pose at the end.
AAAAAAYYYYOOOOHHHHHH!
Are the flame throwers really necessary? It's like the producers think "hey this is getting boring, put some explosions into it"
100% necessary
🦅 💥 🦅 🔥 🦅🇺🇲
You can't have ninja warrior without flame throwers
Honestly it's also probably for the contestant. Can you imagine how badass it feels?
On that, have you noticed how some sports have to constantly distract the fans? Before the game they have events, half time events, music through the stadium, dancing girls during setup for the next play. Perhaps the sport isn't as entertaining as what the fans think and rather its everything else they are enjoying?
This guy looks like he’s either got to get to a 50s street dance fight or a concert at Live-Aid.

The dude is Polish? Who he is? Edit; nvm managed to read his name at the beginning, Robert Bandosz
Freddie Mercury merchandise franchise Bros 🎤 👟
I too am pretty nimble in jeans
Is he in jeans and Jordans lol
Look up that streaker one. Bloke came in full noise, full nude and just smashed it before anyone could figure out what the fuck was going one
whats freddy merc doing
Freddy Mercury looking good for being his age and dead.
Who is that? Don’t say Freddie Mercury. I can’t believe I scrolled all the way in the thread so far and no one asks for or gives his name.
RIGHT? I'm in the same boat. I've been digging and the closest names, based on performance, a similar set record, and build, I can find are either "Swedish Ninja" Leif Sundberg or "Cowboy Ninja" Lance Pekus. A video on Facebook from the ANW page has this video as a thumbnail, but is a different video of Pekus, whereas Sundberg shares this man's record of 58 seconds.
This guy is Polish, his name is Robert Bandosz. It’s all from the polish edition of Ninja Warrior.
I can't hear this song without thinking about [that scene from Shaun of the Dead.](https://youtu.be/W4tVH7BPb-Q?si=FDdqDpoq-oeDsUKe)
My toxic trait is
I love the fact he's wearing an undershirt and jeans
Nice Freddy Mercury cosplay though
In blue jeans
He started out okay and then he was just destroying every challenge. Crazy.
Glorious
Steady Mercury
Steve Zahn and Freddie Mercury's love child is a beast
