    Ninja Warrior: Levi Meeuwenberg +

    Levi Meeuwenberg Via Tyson Ceckaおめでとう Levi-さん! Well it seems that America finally has a legend in the making for Ninja Warrior (Sasuke). Just was reading over at Japan Probe that Levi Meeuwenberg not only was one of the only Americans to make it to stage 3, but he was the last man standing in the Spring Ninja Warrior competition! Congratulations Levi! He may soon join my other favorite Ninja Warrior, Shingo Yamamoto.

    This is the 2nd year that G4 has sent competitors over to Japan to compete in Ninja Warrior. Last year, the winner was accompanied by the runner up because he showed so much promise. However, both of the competitors went into the murky water of Mount Fujiyama early on. A big let-down after G4 hyped it so much.

    Levi was one of the 3 attendees this year from G4. He passed the 2nd stage with ease, and left his 2 Japanese competitors behind and advanced to stage 3. However, he lost his hold, and joined the others in the murky waters. Ganbatte next time Levi. Your new fans will be watching. Insanely close picture of Levi from Tyson Cecka’s Flickr.

      levi meeuwnberg looks awesome i think he might just be, including nagano, the best the show has seen. i think he may be the 3rd person to complete the course g4 should send him down as often as possible and should market his competitions to a brouder audience

      I’m personally quite a fan of the original ‘Free Running’ videos as well :) Do you know the guy who founded that movement was the bad guy at the start of the latest James Bond film? (The first one starring Daniel Craig)

      Hi Levi my name is Jordon Bertram I am 12 years old and I live in Sunbright TN. I have always disliked sports of any kind weather its football or skateboarding, but free running is a different story. It seems to have a purpose, to show what someone can do if they put enough dedication into it. I was not informed of free running at all until I saw you on Ninja Warrior, and ever since I was hooked on it. I love to free run but am not good at it and am still practicing everyday. I am taking it very seriously and not only practicing every day, but am also exercising and eating high protein foods to build good muscle. I have tried to find on the web some kind of exercise program for free runners or what kind of shoes you guys wear. So I was wondering if you could tell me anything. I hope you can reply to this but if you cant I understand, thanks.

      Mhm, Jordan you will ruin your growth plates at such an age as twelve you may want to reconsider free running until at least fourteen. I myself am going to start exercising and running to be a free runner. Levi though you are the best at freerunning I would think that such a great athlete as yourself will win above all else on ninja warrior.
