Just a little footage of how I turned my room into a Ninja Warrior training ground. I built this to train for a TV show called 'American Ninja Warrior' and to give my submission video a slight edge over the thousands that were sent in. Plus, it's damn fun.
Everything that I put up is screwed into the wooden studs behind the drywall using a studfinder. The rock holds are screw on holds, made for this purpose. Eye hooks were screwed into the roof studs to hang ropes and the unstable bridge from. The stud finder tool was my best friend for many days.
The rock holds were purchased online from Atomik Climbing and Three Ball Climbing. The majority of the holds were from a 100 pack of screw-on holds for $199. They are very sturdy and said to be unbreakable. The rest of the stuff is just wood, chains, eye hooks, and other things that can be bought at any Lowes or Home Depot. I put up everything in this video for around $300.
The bar with the different level rungs is known as a salmon ladder. It is an obstacle from American Ninja Warrior. If you want to know how to build one, there are many great videos and tutorials on Youtube if you type in salmon ladder. The gaps in between my rungs range from 8 to 12 inches and are on 40 degree angles.
It was all filmed using a GoPro HD Hero 960 video camera. It is waterproof, unbreakable, and has a bubble or fisheye lens which is great for tight spaces. It comes with many attachments including a headstrap for first person views. This is how i filmed the one segment on the salmon ladder and unstable bridge.
The songs in this video were part of a folder of royalty free music that G4 provided for us to use in our ninja warrior submission videos. If the link still works, the music can be found at this site: http://www.g4tv.com/anwmusic
