Somehow, as someone who has never climbed in his life, never watched American Ninja Warrior nor Ultimate Beastmaster, I have kept up and watched all these videos without fail
It’s actually an absolutely trash description and made me cringe incredibly hard. And then he goes on to seriously describe every single obstacle through the veil of rock climbing. This is not rock climbing lmfao.
Now that the Whisky War has been resolved and Canada now shares a land border with Denmark, he's definitely European. And we can apply that backwards in time to when this happened for sure...
As a European, even I had to laugh with that one 😂 On the other hand: 12 inches in a foot 3 feet in a yard 1760 yards in a mile?? 🤔 But yup, it's the dudes where every previous unit is just multiplied by 10 to get to the next one that have the unnecessarily complex metric system 😆
One problem I always see from these international competition is the fact, that it is always unfair for the Japanese, because they simply are smaller. Beastmaster is the same, where the 185cm american can just grab from hold A to hold B, the 165cm Japanese has to swing and jump. Having to essentially always do a much harder competition. You even see it at 2:15 he would have to do an almost full split, to get his legs in contact with both sides and his arms fully extended barely touch the walls.
This is like saying a 100 meter sprint is unfair because some have longer legs. Yes some bodies are more suited to win, this is the case in every sport
Smaller individuals will need to be more dynamic, but they also should have a better strength to weight ratio. A well designed course would make sure to include a significant endurance test. Stefano and Sean McColl are both pretty short (170, 169 cm).
There are pros and cons to being physically larger. The smaller stature Japanese should in theory have significant advantage in the climbing parts due to having higher power:weight ratio
Stefano also wore climbing shoes. All the other competitors shown wore regular shoes, which probably make not cutting feet on that like 3x as hard. (On the other hand, wearing climbing shoes for the rest of the course probably sucks.)
As a long time fan of ninja who only just recently started looking into climbing seeing Stefano's name attached to some of the hardest climbs was somewhat of a nostalgia hit, like "oh yeah, that guy, he's actually hella cracked good for him"
Canada gets lumped in with Europe a lot. The Ryder Cup in golf is Europe vs. America, and Canadians compete with Europeans. As a Canadian I am fine with it
As a v4 beginner, I can say that "the hardest part" is fairly easy if you climbed for a little while but I couldn't pass almost any of the obstacles before 🤣🤣
Is it known whether there are secret tricks employed to make the overhang boulder be harder than it looks? Surely strong athletes wouldn't struggle THAT hard on such a climb.
Tbf, it's after a pretty pumpy parkour section and there's a pretty big pinch half way up, and I think pinches are one of the holds beginners are more likely to underestimate (how hard you need to squeeze)
Honestly I think if you never rock climbed in your life, you wouldn't know where to even begin with an overhang wall, as easy as it looks to a veteran (or even someone who is midly versed in rock climbing matters)
I think they know how to rock climb, its just that they're probably so exhausted at that point that all technique goes out the window, everyone that climbs knows this happens when you're just so tired up a route or a boulder that you start making lots of errors...
As an Italian Stefano with an already butchered name (Ph instead of F) i commend your public service announcement regarding all Stefano’s. God speed climbing stuff🫡
They should just make a whole team out of climbers and parkourists. Have them train together to learn from each other, like Toby Segar and Pete Whittaker, and they'll beat anyone! (Not that Pete's competed in any ninja stuff to my knowledge, but I live in hope.)
@@durabelle Storror doesn't hold supreme authority in what the official terminology of a sport is. They're just a bunch of really popular parkour bois. Yeah you could say parkourist but that's comparable to calling F1 driver formulaist or astronaut spaceist
@@tappajaav Of course they don't, but terms change all the time, especially if they're loan words from other languages like traceur is. Storror has already sold the term to some other well known parkourists, but I guess time will show whether it will become an accepted part of the English language or not. In the meanwhile I'll use the language of the athletes I mostly follow, especially if they're asking for people to do that. Parkourist works just as well as for example cyclist. (And yes, I'm aware that parkour itself is a loan word too, but I've not seen any opposition for that.)
I love this so much I’m a huge fan of ninja and it’s so good to see Sean do amazing! And hopefully you will make more videos like this in the future cause I really love ninja and I hope you make more ninja videos in the future.
1:02 the fact a show filmed in the USA classed a Canadian as a European is pretty much a quintessential example of the ignorance of the USA people. Not a dig at Climbing Stuff btw, he's been killing it with the videos and progress over the past 6 months or so!
yea he’s Canadian, lived in France and competed with Team Europe so they show him with team Europe. Shows quintessential urge tu dunk on “USA people” to seem smart
I actually met the “pedophile” mentioned at the start, Drew Dreshell and went his gym one night. He seemed so personable and kind. I was stunned when when I learned who he really is. I wish him nothing but the worst.
Yeah, he was one of the ones I knew quite well from the show, he seemed like a great guy from what I could tell. This vid was the first I've heard about any of the ped0 stuff
i remember watching this when it came out and thinking it was utter BS that it wasn't a whole new coarse. The Americans all basically have the coarse built at their homes to just practice it full time where as the Europeans and Japanese have no experience with it at all. The Europeans still won because they're real athletes, but the Japanese deserve a lot of credit too for having average people do as well as they did.

You should for sure try bouldering (since it’s the easiest form of climbing for a beginner to get into). You would most likely really enjoy it!
If you enjoy the videos you’d for sure enjoy climbing. Should try it out
Have you tried bouldering? 👀
This guy is hilarious honestly. I never miss a vid
Same
3:15 parkour being explained as rock climbing without the rock or the climbing actually makes a lot of sense LOL
It's like doing dynos with a very loose definition of "wall".
It's like Dyno slab climbing
urban comp climbing
It’s actually an absolutely trash description and made me cringe incredibly hard. And then he goes on to seriously describe every single obstacle through the veil of rock climbing. This is not rock climbing lmfao.
Sean McColl is my favourite European rock climber.
😂
I was thinking somebody in Europe had the same name as the Canadian climber
Straight from Chambery, British Columbia
Now that the Whisky War has been resolved and Canada now shares a land border with Denmark, he's definitely European. And we can apply that backwards in time to when this happened for sure...
“But could they finish… THE V3 BOULDER??” 😂
“The boulder? More like the pebble”
40 joules/ pascal is insanely fast
Best moment of the video! 😂😂
As a European, even I had to laugh with that one 😂
On the other hand:
12 inches in a foot
3 feet in a yard
1760 yards in a mile?? 🤔
But yup, it's the dudes where every previous unit is just multiplied by 10 to get to the next one that have the unnecessarily complex metric system 😆
It's 40'000 litres
@@pretragovicI’m glad I’m not the only one who did the math 😅
why the heck does joule per pascal equal a volume??? How does it make sense that energy divided by pressure is volume??

@@jeremysharpe5467 I would think an aggressive style shoe wouldn’t be great but a beginner flat bottom climbing shoe would probably be ideal
whenever he brought up japan i died laughing
Me too, and I kept falling for it again thinking Japans gonna turn it around
Bro had me dying of laughter at “You mean the metal dy-“
The way I laughed at your face when you deadpanned “the V3 bouldering wall” @ 11:18
As a long time fan of ninja who only just recently started looking into climbing seeing Stefano's name attached to some of the hardest climbs was somewhat of a nostalgia hit, like "oh yeah, that guy, he's actually hella cracked good for him"
How did Sean McColl end up on team Europe lol.
Canada is Europe's insurgency into the America's, kind of the flip version of Argentina
he lived in france for quite a while so im assuming he has a french citizenship
Canada gets lumped in with Europe a lot. The Ryder Cup in golf is Europe vs. America, and Canadians compete with Europeans. As a Canadian I am fine with it
Commonwealth is European?
Canada is a city in England. At least thats what US citizens think
40 joules per pascal got me laughing my absolute ass off.
I love whenever you review TV shows cuz you always have the funniest commentary. Very entertaining!
How is no one talking about how he said vs Europe and Sean McColl is on team Europe when he's Canadian
I am wondering that, too.
They thought he was from France because at the time he lived there
Thank you for getting the pronunciation of Stefano right 😍
Your videos just keep getting better. I am alone at my apartment watching this and just laughing historically. Great commentary!
wow am glad it's a historical laugh rather than a hysterical laugh, sounds even better!
I was snickering contemporarily myself
I don't usually like this type of reaction content, but you are very funny, man! Good video!
First decent pronunciation of the name Stefano on English youtube. Finally.
This was so entertaining, I love your sarcasm and all killer no filler attitude.
bro i loved the humor all the way from beginning to end.
great vid. very funny. loved it.
keep up the good work
Bro thank you for the joules per pascal conversion. I was really having a hard time understanding how fast 2 feet per second is LOL
40 Joules per Pascal. Fucking brilliant, made me crack up
As a Polish, I thoroughly enjoyed this video.
The way I laughed at your face when you deadpanned “the V3 bouldering wall” @ 11:18
Man, these video's you've been putting out recently, just banger after banger my guy.
If there was 1 obstacle in round 3 i could beat, it would be the climb tbh hahaha
The 'DYNO' section was amazing.
Great video man.
As a v4 beginner, I can say that "the hardest part" is fairly easy if you climbed for a little while but I couldn't pass almost any of the obstacles before 🤣🤣
Yeah like I couldn’t do any of the rest of this shit but those holds are straight jugs
The Dino part got me laughing
USA went last most of the times? That seems like kind of a big advantage when you know you can cruise through the course
Currently on a binge of watching old Climbing Stuff videos on Ninja Warrior type game shows
Haha that intro got me 😂😂
As an American weeb I kept getting so excited during the buildup you did for a Japan comeback!! lmao good video dude
I don't know how you don't have more subscribers already, I'm laughing at every video that comes out!
First time someone pronounced my name right outside of italy 😂

“40 joules /pascal; that’s really fast!”
now you contractually have to show magnus midtbo on ninja warrior usa vs the world and watch him climb a vertical rope
Your content is getting way better. Please keep going.
man I've been loving your content. hilarious commentary
The editing in this video was comedy gold this time. Great stuff 😂
UA-cam has done me a great disservice by not recommending this channel earlier. I fricken love it.
Put tamoa out there and it’s absolutely over
so underrated! “that’s wild”
I think they know how to rock climb, its just that they're probably so exhausted at that point that all technique goes out the window, everyone that climbs knows this happens when you're just so tired up a route or a boulder that you start making lots of errors...
This is the Skateline:NBD of climbing that I didn't know I needed. I don't know if that's a compliment, but it's definitely a statement of sorts
"40 joules per pascal" 😂😂😂
I actually remember watching this one a long time ago, it was quite the competition
As an Italian Stefano with an already butchered name (Ph instead of F) i commend your public service announcement regarding all Stefano’s. God speed climbing stuff🫡
Anche se non mi chiamo Stefano ho goduto quando ha rotto il cazzo sulla pronuncia😂
i enjoyed your commentary. good stuff. thank God i can do the v3 BOULDER PROBLEM.
Bravo on the opening!!
LOL they should have an arrow pointing to where the button is located on the ceiling of the rope climb area.
This is so good😂😂 make more of these
Stefano you nailed the name
Awesome vid man! Keep it up!
this video has one of the best sponsor spots ive seen

Actually Sean lived, might still live, in France at the time so... Who is ignorant now?
Probably confused because Canadians so adamantly deny being part of the broader American cultural sphere
yea he’s Canadian, lived in France and competed with Team Europe so they show him with team Europe. Shows quintessential urge tu dunk on “USA people” to seem smart
Ooh Get destroyed USA USA USA
i think it’s funny that you were the ignorant one
also kinda weird to call a tv show ignorant, but that’s less funny
The next season of ANW needs to have contestants escape Chris Hansen's chair xD
Amazing content as always, commenting for the algorithm!
POV ur wondering why the comments are saying secret video
As a climber of nearly 6 years I want to try one of the courses
You should comment the Ultimate Beastmaster. In the last season, they really pushed the level high.
Subbed. Great jokes and delivery.
What's hillarious is that Stefano has Climbing shoes on for the V3😂😂
Edit: Actually both him and Sean...
Where does the Sean McColl backflip scene come from? I definitely need this as a gif.
Bro insane intro. Have a like sir.
40 jules per pascal, you got me there 😂
Hey as someone who has no idea what you were talking about in the beginning, that threw me for a FUCKING LOOP-
1:08 can confirm... stefano is indeed pronounced exactly like you did
every time you said "and they also knew how to rock climb" i lost my shit
he started calculating in Hamburgers per bald eagle squared.
Lmao, Sean McColl wore climbing shoes on his last go. Skwamas I think? 😂
Joule/Pascal is m^3! so you kinda had it right lol
I'm so happy i found your channel lmfao
sean mccoll is canadian
the parkour community doesn’t claim tim shieff for the record, ninja warrior can keep him
lol ouch. what has he done? I used to watch his parkour vids but i think he is vegan community now and does a lot of mentalist/focus stuff

“METAL DYN-“

Fun fact, Magnus was on the team Europe as a Sub
12:00, provided I could actually reach the first holds, that would be the one obstacle I could actually do.
Stèfano o Stefàno resta comunque il numero uno! Good correction tho 😎

Was Sean's rope climb not 31sec? The other guy was 35.
