  • Amazing feats..Man, you're an awesome, hard-core athlete! You rock!!

  • what the freaking hell, YOU AINT AFRAID OF THOSE DROPS, so brave D:

  • I'm being a dick to help you so please don't take this wrong. QUIT WITH ALL THE BULLSHIT. This video was so overdone it made me laugh Jake. Ninja warrior doesn't need to see your gay little jump kicks and how much you lift. They DEFINITELY don't give a shit about you sitting on top of a cliff acting like a queer. Cut your hair and set your focuses on free running. Make a compilation of your free running and your NINJA WARRIOR skills, not your fuckin lift maxes. Less shitty editing and arrogance.

  • wow. You don't look strong but I guess you are if you're able to pull off all those climbing stunts. Should bulk up your muscle though, just so you can climb even easier. TAKES A LOT OF PROTIEN SHAKES.

  • dude.. if u fall. u will die.

  • Damn man. You take big risks..i reward you for that. NIce work!

  • thats how u get into concerts without tikets 5:46

  • your beastly, im australian and i dont know how much a pound is but that's crazy

  • 1:31, mistakes again

  • sorry but 1:24, simple and first kick done wrong... ninjutsu is not just physical endurance, but also skills

  • nice Video ! good str..

    but your jumps from bar to bar are srange , i think you should check out parkour or gymnastics tutorials about bar lache.

    good luck

  • Im a hard person to impress, but you have impressed me. Keep up the good work .

  • how strong and fit are you.you should make movies. dud let me know

  • dude you might as well be an insect when you are climbing dude, nice!

  • dude, i live in germany, but thumb up for your work

    and even, if they didn´t choose you, i think this is such a big

    advantage for you in your life. I think that you should be a very happy person.

    til later =)#

  • how in the world you didnt make it,youre a damn superman!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • THAT WAS AWESOME MAN !!!

  • You are one crazy mofo!

  • Those last few clips were nuts... Nice dude.

  • Is their a way to see you on youtube ??

  • a perfect example of real strength.

  • im too weak to join...im only 14-.-n i can only do abt 6 pll ups

  • Are you going this time Jake? You are impressive...I keep watching more and more of my friends trying out (and a few even qualified), so I would like to be next....but I am old...nonetheless, see you at the tryouts!

  • he jou evere heard of aikido search it on google its a japanese defence sport

    pretty cool realy

  • Your video would be more effective if you put the actual speed. Strength and endurance are good qualities to have, but they need to see that you have the speed too.

    I do hope you make your dream a reality ya crazy man. xD

  • amazing!!!

  • nice very fit i like tht!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • The overpass climb with cars driving under you was really tasteless. It's not that it's not impressive it just doesn't really sell well to Japanese culture. pull ups on billboards, climbing public bride cables... I think this video highlights the public liabilities that accompany you. I respect you.

  • Man u should climb the Karin tower!... Although u must know "ninja warrior" is not just about strenght, is also mental. Thinghs could go wrong from one second to another...

  • you have best videos on you tube , ive seen many workout videos but not like yours, and i like strength training even though i go to gym but still pushups and pullups and these exercises you do are much better than weight lifting, I wanna do some stuff you did , but for some i would not have balls lol and maybe power , you are so strong man and flexible peace.

  • You're an animal, man! INCREDIBLE!!

  • Damn. on that part where you're crawling along the bridge upside down over the street you look like some sort of animal. Fucking Awesome.

  • dude, you crazy!... but awesome

  • hahahaha could you imagine walking downton and seeing some guy just doing pull ups in the water fountain

  • WTF you werent chosen? gay

  • 100% PASS

  • AWESOME!!!

    i love those bridge climbs! the horizontal finger climbs and the 45 degree with no legs, brutal strength endurance and guts! *bowing*

    how long have u trained for the weighted pullups?

  • That is freaking amazing!

    What a truly remarkable young man you must be!

  • i fucking love you

  • the letters highlighted in red doesn't say heart, it says "braved spirit" or "courageous spirit"

  • I always thought being a ninja meant you had to fight? hmmm guess not. Look at Roy Nelson's fat ass, I guess he's more like a real ninja, as he blends in with Wal Mart America and can kick major ass.

  • Comment removed

  • nin po at its best may your shadow run free

  • you should do parkour/ freerun if you dont already. it will ehlp you with the ninja contest a lot

  • Man you did some crazy stuff that I would never attempt. My life it worth too much to me to take such risks. Have you ever dropped a glass? Cut yourself in the kitchen? Accidents happen that we never plan for. Be careful!

    As for the Ninja contest, you should know that the Japanese expect people to act in a humble manner which you do not. Do not expect to get far in Japan.

    Americans will love you though! I'm impressed with your feats.

  • you should start to do parkour / free run if you don't already

  • i think i just sent u a message that was not ment for you sorry haha

  • anything you can do i can do better

  • so doing daring stuff that can get you killed is not a good way to train to your maximum potetial. you want to fall or have your muscles give out everytime you workout and collapse. if you dont do that how would u get better. your only doing the same thing over and over again. which is the definition of insanity

  • @piercety you don't have to push muscles until they fail for growth. As a matter of fact it's very hard on the body as muscles have the potential to build faster than tendons can keep up with meaning if you train too hard too often you're inviting a rupture.

  • what... are you kidding me, you had no chance of making the finals. you can tell just by the fact that you lift weights. all the stuff on the show is about endurance yet extreame strentgh at the same time. you dont train like that. i bet you havent done 1 day of training where you do that rope climb and you go as many times as you can, then do as many pull ups as you can, then repeat the same process then try and do a push up. you wouldnt get up. your stretgh is in weights no endurance.

  • damn man thats intense!!! i have no idea how you didnt make it to the finals ive never seen the show but it must be crazy if you didnt make it on. youve got mad skills.

  • I see you do leg press but did not see you do squats.

    you do squats?

  • wow i mean wow

  • dude nice! hey did you make it to japan?? i was at the american ninja warrior challenge and i dropped at the second stage of the pipe slide. looks like you probly made it past the finals

  • No, I didn't make it to the finals... unfortunately. These last few days have been hell. I can't remember the last time I was this disappointed. However, there's nothing to do but train harder, and hopefully in six months time I'll be stronger, faster and more capable to take on the Ninja Warrior course than ever before!

    I'm sorry you didn't make it either. There's always next time, my friend. Peace.

  • i dont get how u didnt get on when ur training proves u can do anything ninja warrior can throw at u

  • @NixSeraph you should have made it that is the most extrodonary thing ive seen strength wise you inspired me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!

  • Did you go to the open casting call last weekend (Aug 29-30, 2009)?

  • Woh your like spiderman! XD

  • so have you come up with any new and interesting ways to get killed whilst working out?

    haha just kidding... that is a prety cool video, im surprised it didnt win... i have only seen ninja warior once but the american guy didnt make it past the first obsticle so you could so do it, you are an inspiration to all of us who could never do what you do.

  • Thank you for commenting on my video and for your compliments. I always appreciate the support I receive from my YouTube fans. Thanks again!

  • no question about it that shit is insane and what i wana know is why dident the judges pick you. you would have crushed the course

  • That's all right. They didn't pick me because... Well, there is no reason. But, keep in mind this was my Spring, 2009 Entry Video. My Fall, 2009 Entry Video WAS one of the winners of ANC5. I'm getting my chance to compete in L.A. next week, then hopefully I'll be going to Japan next month to compete on Sasuke 23.

  • hey good luck mate serious im training to get into the french foreign legion right now myself so i kinda know how u feel ....kinda lol. well maybe not really.

  • @NixSeraph hey are are you still trying to get in? why wouldnt they pick you? with all the people they let try to qualify? ive been watching the american ninja warrior boot camp and could see you doing some of those obsticles with ease. please reply to keep me informed if you're still trying so i can look for you.

  • You have a lot of force and a great physical condition but I do not believe that you could do 45 pull ups. as much 35

  • Actually... yes I can. I can do 45 pull-ups. I stand by that.

  • dude did you see this video? 45pull ups wasnt the grazyest thing he did.. im 16 i dont work out or anything and i can do 25 clean pull ups

  • not sure why this guy got thumbed down. He was giving a compliment. He was just saying forget 45, Jake Hilton did stuff that are way more difficult.

  • i dont get G4 anymore so ive missed the past few American ninja challenges but im positive you have all the required skills except maybe speed i cant really say cause most of the scenes in your video were sped up

  • The only reason I sped up a lot of the clips is because G4 only gives competitors 5 minutes for their entry videos. That's NOT a lot of time. Believe me, with all the clips I WANTED to include in this video, it would have taken at least 10 minutes. Oh well...

    Thanks for the comment. Take care.

  • The judges are so stupid to not pick someone who would most probably complete all 4 stages in Ninja Warrior.

  • I wish you the best with your goals friend. Keep it up you can do some truly amazing things you have some true skills there. Thanks for sharing your journey.

  • i now have new goals set for myself..

  • That's true fitness right there.

  • Respect for your dedication and hard work!

    Even as I don't know your competition I think you would have had deserved to made the event!

    Keep going!

  • hey is the video where he actually is on the show up??

  • those judges must be idiots to not let u in

  • no those judges are smart this guy would win in like 2 seconds they probably try to pick people who will find it a challenge

  • WOAH HE CLIMBED RIGHT OVER TRAFFIC!!! He also risked his life at several occasions. HE SHOULD BE IN NINJA WARRIOR!!!

  • -takes the judges of the competition and sacks them all-

  • dude you are epic win

  • your fuking nuts lol i love it

  • I would have selected you instead of david c.

  • You're in sick shape, Jake. Good luck to you.

  • please go to a gym and train instead of risking your life like that...i know you are confident of your ability but there is a chance of losing your grip and that will be it...all the training would go down the drain. unless u can break a 100 feet fall...

  • People who see this will think you lack your sanity for putting yourself at such a great risk, but I believe that is part of what defines a Ninja. IRONY. This video is in many ways more impressive than if you had competed and won on Ninja Warrior. If you won you'd just be another white American dominating on foreign soil, not that big a deal to an every day American or Japanese for that matter (Mr.Baseball, David Ortiz, or MMA). But every man has his destiny. May it end ever so sweetly.

  • You can do it man... Sick Skills!

  • Fucking crazy man this shit shows off your power a lot more than you in the weight room!

  • i don't see why they didn't accept you, you're like fucking spiderman

  • That's what my younger brother calls me, although I do all my stuff without the webbing. Thanks for the comment!

  • yeah dude exactly, they should have accepted you, especialy when i seen the video of you climbing that stadium, that takes alot of bravery,heart,courage and physical attributes to do that, es;pecialy the fact that like in ninja warrior, youll fall in water and you have a harnest on, what you just did risked your life and you did it with totaly bravery, its such a shame they didnt pick you.

  • Best of luck to you in the Sasuke Tournament. Post a video when you find out the news if you are or are not going.

  • You are so awesome! I think you have a really great chance at winning sasuke!

  • Bets of luck man, ive been flollowing your progress for awhile...

  • Wow that is some serious dedication and determination

    you are hands down a true champion even if you don't get to show it for Ninja Warrior

  • Yes I think that's fantastic effort and determination! Way to go! :D Perhaps not try those risky climbs though. Not worth the risk! Impressive nonetheless and best wishes for Ninja Warrior!

  • Main reasons why you cant win ANC4 were because your stunts were too dangerous. If you won it, it will prompt many others to do the same and others who are not as fit as you may fall and die.

    Another reason was the lack of displays of your agility.

  • I don't wan tto be a dick or anything... but I kinda do agree with this guy. You didn't really show much agility, which is really important in Ninja Warrior. As for the "too dangerous" part, it makes sense and all, but I really don't think that was the reason. If i Knew who you were being compared to, I'd be able to see if it was a bias pick or not.

  • crazy awesome! you have such a determination! keep it up jake. :)

  • I'm speechless. that was fuckin crazy

  • man, you nailed it! why they didn't choose you surprise me.. that climbing up the stadium pillar O_O HOLY SHIT is all i can say haha. Good Luck for the next trial! From Singapore woohoo!!

  • Good video. Glad you speeded some bits up. It still communicates the same information but keeps the video moving at a good pace (makes you look like an insect sometimes too, lol). Amazing physical abilities.

  • Wish ya good luck for september 09!

    You have showed very great effort, and ihmo you'd deserve that chance!

    Amazing video!

  • WOW! You can lift 3* HEAVIER than ME!

  • So many are just chasing money nowadays and you've just shown that there's more than that in life.

    All the best!

  • hope you win next time in anc5

  • real hardcore stuff

  • OMG dude ur insanely strong, keep on training and do freeweights instead of machines and i am sure u got very high chance to become first American Ninja Warrior

  • i saw your video in Sasuke 22! dammmm

  • i just got done watching all your videos and i must say you've more than proven that you're highly motivated and truly dedicated. i'm sorry to hear you didnt make it, best of luck finding an american sponsor. i'm sure i'll see you on ninja warrior in the near future ^^

  • Geeeez. The only thing wrong was that you were machine benching, and using leg press not squat, but fuck, all that cliff hanging stuff was nuts!

    Pretty athletic I'd say.

  • impressive strength. I was terrified when you climbed up that tall stuff.

  • You are my idol.

  • extremely impressive,are you a pro athlete

  • Wow. Very impressive. It's unfortunate that you weren't picked to represent G4 in NC. However, I think I speak for most people when I say what you have accomplished is amazing. Do your best to retain these videos in format that will allow you to show your grandkids one day.

  • Really cool video. But I would like to go on with a constructive commentary. Your video does show your daring spirit and how you're strong etc. The thing is that it's in fast motion so we don't have a real idea of your real potential. Also, you put too many things in that video. Should have put more relevant things to ninja skills, like more fast things, not only strenght.

    Anyway I'm still a big fan of you and I hope you get there next year!

  • i really hope you win :) btw how high was the last part in rock climbing

  • the bridge climbing was insane

  • Its impressive

    but i think this vid is 2 hyped, i mean hes strong and all, but a push up 10 ft off the ground is NOT different than 50ft off the ground, the 10ft is just way more safer.

  • Yes, it is different, and the difference is I TRUST my personal abilities enough to do it 50 ft off the ground.  It's dangerous, it's life-and-death, and not too many people can do it. Also, being that high up creates a mental / fear factor that makes what I do much more challenging than a simple pull-up.

  • What do you think is too many people? Because I am sure there are tons of people that can do it. They just don't have the money for a camera to show it. I think you are good but cut back on being so into yourself.

    Good luck.

  • i know, and i respect that, all i'm saying is, that there is know real difference so when your making a video to be on sasuke, you dont necesarily have to do 50ft pull ups. It does create a mental factor, and we all grip better when ur life depends on it. Just, if i were you 25ft max, its still a mental fear, but u wont get urself killed, via ppullups

  • i don't know who else can outmatch this video, it has got to be a conspiracy

  • Hahaha. Probably. I certainly wouldn't be surprised.

  • this dude is awesome, but i still think japanese will be better than him...

  • one more... good luck, i wish you win:)

  • Dude u r good im sure u will win.

    dont forget to dress up as ken from street fighter.

    Olivia can be chung lee.

  • Man, you are one of the best ninjas I've ever seen. Keep going and you'll be number one in the world.

  • you've got some awesome stuff in your video. we must be missing some other challenger's videos on youtube, because yours is the best i've seen yet. the cable climb on the bridge at the end is something i've always thought about doing but never had the nerve.

    i think you'd have a good shot at the course if you can get a sponsor to send you, so good luck with that! my brother is currently looking for one as well. check out his new video on my channel.

  • If you keep it up, you will be a Ninja Warrior. It's ridiculous that you didn't win, and I am sorry. But, be persistent, and we will see you there in September - which isn't far away. Train, my friend. Train.

  • just dont stop training if you keep training you will eventually get there nice try on the ninja warrior

  • U should think of it this way watching your videos from the beginning to now your stadium climbing the improvement is Beyond impressive. If u have 6 more months to train it is just reassuring that you are destined to become an American Ninja =)

  • You did not win???

    I am confused

    I thought they were going to say who won on March 5

    Can someone help me please

  • The winner has already been notified by G4. They won't announce it to the public until March 5th, but the decision has already been made as to who goes to Japan.

    I wasn't contacted on the 24th, as the rules stated G4 would do. Sorry.

  • That's such horseshit that you didn't win. wtf does olivia know anyway? we should have been able to vote for the winner.

    I KNOW you will make it to sasuke in the future.

  • I agree. I think the American Ninja Challenge should go back to the way it was in the 1st and 2nd seasons, when the video competition FINALISTS challenged each other on obstacle courses, and then the two WINNERS were sent to Japan. That, at least, was completely fair, unlike having the final decision on who goes to Japan fall to one person.

    But, thank you for your candor. I agree that it is horseshit.

  • At least the competitions on the marine obstacle course were fun to watch. Watching Olivia just pick someone is just stupid. But you can contact TBS (Tokyo Broadcasting System) to see if they would consider having you on since you are fluent in Japanese and English i'm sure they'd love to have you on after seeing you video.

  • They changed the rules, you have to contact Monster 9 directly.

  • I'm sure you have considered bypassing G4 and get some other sponsorship. You certainly deserve it.

  • Fucking pro. Good luck dude, you deserve to kick some ass.

  • Nix, have you tried sending it to Sasuke directly? I'm sure someone out there will be willing to sponsor you.

  • No, not yet, but I plan to soon. Whether I find a sponsor here in America or in Japan, I honestly don't care. My new goal is to compete in Sasuke 23 this September, and I'll welcome anyone who's willing to help make that happen. Until then, I'll keep training like never before! Thanks!

  • I'm speechless. You are my new hero.

    I hope you do get to Japan one day, you deserve it.

  • I fully agree. You really do deserve it.

  • Hey there :) you are a real ninja :) keep it up and beat the japanese !!

  • Good luck. I have seen your videos and am wishing you the best as I have seen what black belts in Taekwon Do can do let alone being a ninja warrior.

  • I hope you make it, your dedication could get you very far in the competition!

    Good Luck =-)

  • your welcome,

    just believe in yourself and you can do it

    : ]

  • Best of luck mate hope your dreams come true Visualise 5*

  • as good as always

    out of all the others I have seen this is by far the best

    there are other good ones but you have them beat

    that 100ft rope climb was insane

    Good luck

    I want to see you crush the corse

  • Nobody wants that more than I do, believe me. Thank you for the comment. You've always been a great friend.

  • That may be, but thousands of viewers share your desire, whether they the skills you do or not. I think making this video so everyone could see how great you are was worth making it alone, you don't have to go to Japan this time. Free running guys like you with great power and endurance are pretty crazy!

  • Sometimes what we have really won is not a trophy that can be given to you...

    This video shows that you are already the winner... regardless of what Olivia might think. A job Well done...

  • Man would I love to be able to do that! Keep it up, you have amazing dedication!

  • I'm really sad that you didn't win man.

    However, I wish you the best of luck in your endeavors in the future and wish you the best.

    Stay strong bro.

    Zak

  • Good spirit Jake! Best of luck to you and I hope a sponsor will follow soon.

  • insane i admire your dedication
