okay so they say they're gonna give me a
double push for speed
hold the camera tight three two one
hi guys welcome to the episode thanks
for tuning in you may not know that
american ninja warrior that physical
obstacle course show is actually taking
its inspiration
from japan a show called sasuke ninja
warrior
back in the 90s it's a physical obstacle
course where speed
agility mental aptitude allows you to
navigate the course and try and get
great scores
we went to forest adventure park in
scuba which isn't explicitly stated as a
ninja course
but it really does give you that feeling
as you move through the treetops so
i'll let it all get taken away by one of
the wonderful hosts there
who kept us safe and made sure that we
had a fantastic
time
you know what they say no one is born a
ninja you must first complete
a forest adventure park scuba sand
training course so that's exactly what
we did
and you learn really cool and
interesting stuff like how not to die
or fall screaming from the trees
fundamentals
the course itself is a miniaturized
version of everything that you'll see
for the remainder of your day
i needed the oaky size
[Laughter]
oh well all right guys so we're making
our way through the training course now
obviously there's a lot of dangers when
you're this high up in the top
of the trees so i'm gonna do something
at a lower risk level now lower
intensity we had the wonderful
explanation
everything just sounds better in
explanation in japanese i don't know why
be better than me
not the best stop but i stopped
excellent work dean it was terrible
clearly you were meant to be an action
stunt double in another life
it was awful the fact that i uh
specifically touched but i wasn't
supposed to
that's a habit of yours isn't it
having completed the training i felt
that i'd finally arrived at neophyte
ninja warrior levels
albeit likely a more chunky version than
the hosts were usually used to seeing
i was happy to discover that when you
did get set into the wild
the hosts don't shadow you they don't
follow you around the whole time
they're waiting on the ground and
usually not far away so they can help
you if you are in trouble
but you get to feel like you're having
your own personal experience
so you can fit three of us up here at
one time look at the team
love and a piece dean is our first
daring contestant to go across
you can think of this as kind of like
fall guys from playstation or on the
other platforms except we're using human
beings to play the game
okay i know you're supposed to use both
but that would be boring
nice move
a good sasuke course will challenge
every ability you have
physically this one i think is designed
to
test my skill at running into trees
in an effort to appreciate every aspect
of scuba forest adventure before i
arrived
i did research not only on sasuke but
on japanese forests as well keeping in
the spirit of being a forest ninja i
thought that best delivered
while trying to navigate one of the more
precarious precipitous
obstacles that we were to overcome
did you know
has more forests than many countries
in any developed world
its land mass is covered by 67
forests which is far higher
than the world average i'm 27
ah man uh
60 of the forest says of a 2000
study are natural accounting for old
growth
ah and only
40 percent are for plantation
but that may have dropped in the interim
okay
all right now talking about good times
before to come here just to see the park
in a different way
the seasons i'm forgetting what time of
year it is now
so plum blossoms they blossomed before
the sakura
and we were just told by the park
manager that the next place that we go
to
has the longest zip line and also goes
over top
of the the plum blossom so we're going
to get some really cool shots from that
we're going to do in 120 p we're going
to get deadly slow-mo
let you guys bask in the beauty of the
plum blossoms
let's do it
of course four longest zip line let's go
[Music]
no she doesn't it's fantastic it's one
of the hardest ones actually
i wasn't sure when i first arrived
here's a new move i'm going to do this
backwards
if you get enough adventuring i thought
will there be enough courses
and i can say with absolute certainty at
this point that you will have
more adventuring than you could ever
even want
in a single day and then some there's a
huge variety
there's so many different types it's not
like you're doing the same thing the
whole time
and there's something here for everyone
that loves being terrified in trees we
have found
two notable sections we have here
i call this playstation road see the x
see the circle
any of you guys getting the playstation
5 let me know in the comments below i'd
love to
and we've definitely pinpointed the most
difficult challenge today
as the final and most demanding course
the fourth threw everything in its
arsenal that it had against
us demanding traversals steep ascents
challenge after challenge calling into
question were you
really worthy of the title treetop ninja
warrior
i probably wasn't because every time i
tried to go
at speed across one of the traversals it
nearly always ended with me
burning out and spinning about halfway
through and having may
and dean wait patiently for me to finish
we're at the top we made it to the top
the height
we are very high up
and there's the finish over there we're
going for it
so i'm gonna bring you with me okay so
they say they're gonna give me a double
push for speed
hold the camera tight three two one
was this a lot of fun yes absolutely it
was
was that fun only exceeded by the
physical deficiency that it revealed in
myself to be a ninja warrior
yes i would concede that that is true as
well but i regret nothing
it was an absolute blast in february
cool day beautiful forest i can think a
few better ways to spend your time
if you find yourself in ibaraki i do
highly recommend
one final big thank you to scuba forest
adventure park for hosting us you guys
are awesome warm kind and accommodating
and for now the clock has run out thanks
for watching guys
i'll catch you in the next video
