00:00:01,080 --> 00:00:04,280
LEILA: Last year,
two Aussies broke the record

2
00:00:04,320 --> 00:00:06,760
for the highest Warped Wall,

3
00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:10,200
and tonight your favourites are back

4
00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:13,320
to smash even more records.

5
00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:15,480
If there's ever a chance
for a record to be broken,

6
00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:17,600
it's with the crew
you're gonna see today.

ZAK: These are elite ninjas,

9
00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:26,280
and to have to go to your limit
against the best of the best

10
00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:28,000
is something special.

11
00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:30,640
..where ninjas aim to go higher...

12
00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:32,920
He's done it!
(LAUGHS)

13
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:34,240
..faster...

He can't believe it!
He is not...

17
00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:39,760
He can't believe it!

18
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:43,440
..and...whatever this is

19
00:00:43,480 --> 00:00:47,240
in a dash for $75,000 cash.

20
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:48,360
That's pretty appetising.

21
00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:49,960
In a night of fun...

22
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:52,400
I'm the oldest guy out there,
I'm the shortest guy out there,

23
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:54,120
and the rest of them all have hair.

24
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:55,560
..fierce competition...

25
00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:56,960
You're going down!

26
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:00,920
..and fingers crossed,
new world records.

27
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:02,360
There'll be a record set.

Welcome to Australian Ninja Warrior -
Record Breakers.

32
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:20,360
Tonight, a whole host of
your favourite superstar ninjas

33
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:22,160
and some thrilling new team talents

34
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:25,240
are ready to do what it says
on the tin - break some records.

35
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:26,520
I'm Leila McKinnon.

36
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:27,800
And we're Will.
And Woody.

37
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:31,440
Last year we had Australian
and world records broken.

38
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:34,280
And tonight we want more breakage.

39
00:01:34,320 --> 00:01:36,240
Absolutely, we do.

40
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:38,280
There are five events tonight.

41
00:01:38,320 --> 00:01:42,200
Three have world records
that our ninjas are aiming to smash -

42
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:44,040
the Super Salmon Ladder,

43
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:47,400
the longest lache
on the Soaring Sonic Shelf Grab,

44
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:49,800
and the Rising Mega Warped Wall.

45
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:53,640
There are also two brand-new events
as well.

46
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:55,160
The Spring Forward Face-Off.

47
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:57,840
We're gonna have a series
of knock-out sprints

48
00:01:57,880 --> 00:01:59,880
and the Big Dipper
Freestyle Challenge,

49
00:01:59,920 --> 00:02:02,480
where you will see ninjas
use obstacles

50
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:04,800
in ways we've never seen before.

00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:09,400
Now, there's more than just pride
on the line.

53
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:12,280
Over the night
there's a whopping $75,000

54
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:14,800
worth of prize money on offer,

55
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:16,960
with the winner on each obstacle

56
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:19,560
grabbing themselves
a very tasty $15,000.

(MOMENTOUS MUSIC BUILDS)

58
00:02:20,640 --> 00:02:23,640
To be asked to be part of the
Record Breakers is such an honour.

59
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:26,120
This is, like, a really elite
section of the sport.

60
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:28,160
OLIVIA: Last year
we did it for the first time

61
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:31,440
and none of us knew how fun
it was going to be.

62
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:32,960
It's one of those nights

63
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:35,600
where all the ninjas kind of
just let their hair out,

64
00:02:35,640 --> 00:02:37,120
and they get to relax,
they get to have fun,

65
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:38,880
and we all get to watch one another.

66
00:02:38,920 --> 00:02:41,320
WOMAN: Everyone who got invited
is the best of the best.

67
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:43,360
MAN: Everyone's at the top
of their game, looking good,

68
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:45,000
and, yeah,
it's all on the table tonight.

69
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:47,960
If there's ever a chance
for a record to be broken,

70
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:49,840
it's with the crew
you're gonna see today.

71
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:53,680
Guys, we know the ninjas
love going for these records.

72
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:55,800
Without the pressure
of regular competition,

73
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:57,960
they can really express themselves,

74
00:02:58,000 --> 00:02:59,840
have a bit of fun,
and dare I say it, show off?

It's time to kick off the action

78
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:09,800
with the night's very first
world record attempt.

WOODY: It's not just
the Salmon Ladder.

82
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:19,440
It's a 35-rung Super Salmon Ladder
inside Mount Midoriyama.

83
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:23,240
This soars four storeys
into the air -

84
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:26,440
seven times further than
our standard Super Salmon Ladder.

85
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:28,640
The winner is the one
who goes highest up the ladder

86
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:30,640
in the quickest time.

87
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:34,640
WILL: With a record to smash
and $15,000 at stake,

88
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:38,480
these ninjas will have one attempt
to conquer the impossible.

89
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:42,240
Zak Stolz was the first back-to-back
champ in Australia.

90
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:45,280
He picked up 100 grand last night
for his efforts

91
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:48,040
and he set the Australian record
last year,

92
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:50,160
but he wants to conquer the world.

93
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:52,240
MAN: Zak! He is the king!

94
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:56,760
ZAK: Last year I set the record
of 35 rungs in 32 seconds.

95
00:03:56,800 --> 00:04:00,720
I know, in the States,
they did 35 in about 17 seconds.

96
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:02,600
So, my goal tonight
is to try and beat that.

97
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:03,720
I've been practising a lot.

98
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:05,560
I'm actually really excited
to try and do some double moves.

99
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:08,680
Going for speed
definitely opens you up for error.

100
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:10,680
So, it's entirely possible
I come off on the eighth rung,

101
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:12,960
but I'm not gonna try and muck
around being careful.

102
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:14,640
If I fall, I fall.

103
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:16,960
And returning to
the Super Salmon Ladder

104
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:19,000
for his second time
in Record Breakers,

105
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:21,040
it's 'Barefoot Ninja' Dan Mason.

106
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:22,960
MAN: Last year I made a mistake
towards the end

107
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:24,320
'cause I was going for time.

108
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:26,200
This year, I've got that experience.

109
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:29,320
So, yeah, hopefully I can prove
that I'm the master of it

110
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:33,720
After having a year off,
recovering from a broken back,

111
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:35,520
season one champion Fred Dorrington

112
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:37,400
came back fighting this season,

113
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:40,160
but his stellar return
was shockingly cut short

114
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:42,240
and he's back to settle the score.

115
00:04:42,280 --> 00:04:44,600
I want some redemption
on that Salmon Ladder.

116
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:47,520
I stuffed it up in the grand final -
it was a simple slip,

117
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:48,960
and I just want to show

118
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:51,040
that I've got so much more
to give on this obstacle.

119
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:54,880
And 17-year-old Saxon Johnstone.

120
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:58,920
He got all the way to grand final
three and came fourth overall.

121
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:01,120
I feel like I shouldn't be here -

122
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:03,400
like I missed a turn
on the school bus,

123
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:06,480
but hopefully I can give them
a run for their money

124
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:08,440
and just show everyone
what I've got.

125

126
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:13,400

the Super Salmon Ladder tonight

127
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:15,760
is season one winner Fred Dorrington.

128
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:19,320
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)

129
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:20,360

and Fred Dorrington heading
where he belongs -

133
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:33,840
up Mount Midoriyama's
Super Salmon Ladder.

134
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:37,160
It is a long way up, Leila.
It sure is.

135
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:40,920
It's absolutely massive, sitting
a terrifying four storeys high,

136
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:42,880
and remember, in normal competition,

137
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:44,920
they only have to do
two or three rungs.

138
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:46,520
This has 35.

139
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:48,960
It's actually crazy to think
that a year ago,

140
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:50,480
this bloke broke his back

141
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:53,520
and he's now fully recovered and
taking on the Super Salmon Ladder.

142
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:56,040
Keep in mind he was bitterly
disappointed

143
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:57,760
as well when he went out this year.

144
00:05:57,800 --> 00:05:58,840
Like, genuine heartbreak.

145
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:02,920
Well , if he's fastest to the top,
$15,000 might help ease that pain.

00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:04,160
(CHIME SOUNDS)

147
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:05,480
Here we go.

148
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:07,840
Oh, jeez, rocky start.
Not a great start.

149
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:09,880
Keep in mind -
to beat the world record,

150
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:11,640
he's gotta be doing
two rungs at a time.

151
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:14,360
Zak's current record,
the Australian record,

152
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:17,240
is 35 rungs in less than 32 seconds.

153
00:06:17,280 --> 00:06:18,440
MAN: Fix it! Fix it!

154
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:19,880
Oh, can he correct? Yes, he can.

155
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:26,360
He's up, he's up! This is really
solid from Fred Dorrington. 15!

156
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:28,640
He's getting close to halfway,
Leila.

157
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:31,120
Can he keep the speed up?

158
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:34,320
Because keep in mind fatigue's
gonna hit him at some stage.

159
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:35,520
15 rungs to go.

160
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:38,000
Here we go.
Come on, Fred! Come on, Fred!

161
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:40,480
Only Zak made it to the top
last season.

162
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:44,360
If Fred can get there,
he's a good chance at 15K.

163

00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:05,200
28 rungs up the Super Salmon Ladder.

174
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:07,960
Huge effort from
the season one champ!

175
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:12,680
Freddy Dorrington, mate, I'm gonna
be honest, it was a tough start.

176
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:16,400
You had the bar off line pretty much
on your first Salmon Ladder.

177
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:17,840
FRED: Yeah, well, you know,
from last year,

178
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:18,880
I think everyone did that,

179
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:20,480
so I thought that was what,
you know, tradition was.

180
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:22,120
Absolutely -
you're a season one winner,

181
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:24,080
so I can see why
you wanna stick with tradition,

182
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:25,160
but run me through it, mate.

183
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:26,800
How did you feel?
You've done pretty well.

184
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:28,160
Is it enough to win?

185
00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:30,760
Oh, look, I've put down, I think,
a reasonable score.

186
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:32,600
I would have liked to have gone
all the way to the top,

187
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:34,040
but, hey, happy with that,

188
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:35,680
and it's over to the other boys
to see what they can do.

189
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:39,040
Absolutely. I can confirm
that you got 28 rungs.

190
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:40,320
Make some noise for Fred Dorrington!

191
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:42,360
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
28 rungs.

192
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:44,800
Very, very impressive, mate.

193
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:46,560
It's over to the other ninjas.
That's it.

194
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:48,080
Good luck, boys. Get it.

195
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:49,520
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)

196
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:52,600
Fred Dorrington has set the bar
at 28 rungs.

197
00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:56,680
Let's see if our next ninja
can beat that. It's Dan Mason!

198
00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:59,000
He's the lightest
of the four ninja.

199
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:00,800
Combine that
with his explosive power

200
00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:02,440
and he's like a go-kart with a V8.

201
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:04,560
So, the Barefoot Ninja actually
got 28 rungs last year

202
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:05,960
when he came second.

203
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:07,000
Fred just got that.

204
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:08,920
So, he's gotta need to top
his performance from last year.

205
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:11,280
Here we go - Dan Mason.
(CHIME SOUNDS)

206
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:15,520
He did those 28 rungs last season
in 27 seconds.

207
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:17,680
If he improves on that,
he'll beat Fred.

208
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:21,680
Oh, look at him move!
Look at the speed on this guy!

209
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:23,120
He's up to ten already!

210
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:25,000
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)

211
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:27,040
Oh! Oh, slight misstep, but come on!

212
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:29,880
He's off!
(HOSTS EXCLAIM)

213
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:32,040
Oh, he was powering it out.
He was.

214
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:33,720
Taking a risk with the speed,

215
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:36,240
but unfortunately didn't quite
pay off in the end.

216
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:40,280
Nonetheless, an amazing effort from
the Barefoot Ninja.

217
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:41,880
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)

218
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:43,920
Dan Mason, talk us through it,
mate. What happened there?

219
00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:45,800
Oh, I was feeling good, actually.

220
00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:47,840
I felt like I was keeping up
a good pace.

221
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:49,880
Yeah, I think that bar
was just creeping to the right

222
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:52,200
and that probably caused me
to miss the rung on the left.

223
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:54,840
I probably felt better on it
than last year,

224
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:56,040
but just didn't get quite as high.

225
00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:59,160
Absolutely - didn't quite reach
the heights of Fred Dorrington,

226
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:01,800
but there's still two superstars
to go.

227
00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:03,320
Who's your tip?

228
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:06,240
Oh, I've seen Saxon do
some pretty impressive stuff.

229
00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:09,440
So, I'd love to see him, yeah, get
to the top in a really fast time.

230
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:13,160
Absolutely. No-one wants to see
Zak Stolz steal more money.

231
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:15,000
Give some cash to someone else, Zak,

232
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:16,880
and make some noise
for the Barefoot Ninja!

233
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:19,760
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)

234
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:22,240
He was quick, the Barefoot Ninja,
Dan Mason,

235
00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:24,560
but keep in mind, guys, last season,

236
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:27,240
Zak Stolz did all 35 in 32,

237
00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:28,960
which is faster
than a rung a second.

238
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:30,840
Can our next ninja do it?

239
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:31,920
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)

240
00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:34,840
When we opened up the competition
to 16- and 17-year olds,

241
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:36,920
we quickly learned these young guns

242
00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:39,160
didn't just bring youth
to the course.

243
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:42,720
They were lighter, faster,
and more fearless,

244
00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:46,320
which are the exact qualities you
need on the Super Salmon Ladder.

245
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:49,400
This ninja has impressed us
all season.

246
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:50,920
Can he do it Instagram again?

247
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:53,240
It's 17-year-old Saxon Johnstone?

248
00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:54,440
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)

249
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:57,240
Oh, everybody except Fred Dorrington
wants him to win here.

250
00:09:57,280 --> 00:09:58,880
He's still eyeing off the 15K.
(CHIME SOUNDS)

251
00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:00,560
He did 28 in 50 seconds.

252
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:02,080
Can Saxon beat him?

253
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:04,600
Apparently he's a gun on the
Salmon Ladder, and here he goes!

254
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:06,240
It looks like
the rumours are correct.

255
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:08,920
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)

256
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:11,240
The speed, the precision, the youth!

257
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:13,920
Just taking to it like a pro.
Oh, my goodness!

258
00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:15,680
He's hammering it out!

259
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:21,000
His climb rate is well on track
to beat the Australian record -

260
00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:22,360
oh, if he can maintain the speed.

261
00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:23,400
He's slowing down, Leila.

262
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:25,920
Two rungs to go to beat Fred.
He's going to do it!

263
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:28,120
Jeez, look at him use those hips
for these final ones.

264
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:31,120
Yes! Saxon is in the lead!

265
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:32,400
That's 30! He's up at 30!

266
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:35,080
Keep going, Saxon!

267
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:38,040
He's gonna make it! Come on, mate!

268
00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:40,560
He's getting up there!

269
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:42,080
Here he goes!

270
00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:44,480
He's at 35 rungs!
He's done it!

271
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:47,160
Amazing!
Have a look at him!

272
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:49,760
Take that ninja legends!

273
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:51,920
He's 17 years old.
Oh, wow!

274
00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:54,040
Take a breather, young man!

275
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:55,760
What a performance!

276
00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:56,920
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)

277
00:10:56,960 --> 00:10:59,160
He has just blown this thing away.

278
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:02,400
This whole Ninja Warrior,
he has been a sensation.

279
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:04,840
This is truly, truly amazing.

280
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:08,040
Wowee, Saxon Johnstone,
the 17-year-old,

281
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:11,360
has just completed
the Super Salmon Ladder!

282
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:13,200
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)

283
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:15,280
Mate, is that a dream come true?
100%.

284
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:17,760
A little bit out of breath -
it was a long way up there,

285
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:21,800
but I've done a 20-rung Salmon
Ladder before, but none this high.

286
00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:23,560
I slowed down a bit at the end.

287
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:25,840
So, I'd say
I was a little bit slower,

288
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:29,760
but we'll see - I don't know if
youse are gonna let me know, or...

289
00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:31,600
(LAUGHTER)

290
00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:37,360
I can confirm that your time
was 43 seconds.

291
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:41,240
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)

292
00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:43,160
So, you haven't taken out
the Australian record,

293
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:44,560
but at the end of the day,

294
00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:47,760
if Zak Stolz doesn't get to the top
of the Salmon Ladder,

295
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:51,640
you are gonna have $15,000
in your pocket as a 17-year-old!

296
00:11:51,680 --> 00:11:54,280
Put your hands together
for Saxon Johnstone.

297
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:56,160
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)

298
00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:59,000
Yeah, he may not have broken
Zak's record from last year,

299
00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:01,680
but Saxon has just gone down
in history

300
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:06,040
as the youngest person to make it all
the way up the Super Salmon Ladder.

301
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:08,120
This is absolutely incredible.

302
00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:10,840
Saxon currently has $15,000
in his pocket.

303
00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:11,880
He's a teenager!

304
00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:15,520
But if anyone can beat Saxon,
it's the reigning champ, Zak Stolz.

305
00:12:15,560 --> 00:12:19,400
Put your hands together
for the Australian record holder

306
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:21,320
for the Super Salmon Ladder!

307
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:25,040
Rumour has it that Stolzy's gonna go
two rungs at a time.

308
00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:26,920
Have you got sources in ninja...

309
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:28,680
I sourced some footage of him
training.

310
00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:29,720
It's risky.

311
00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:31,080
Look, it's risky,

312
00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:33,160
but it means that we could
be looking at a world record.

313
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:38,000
Looking, keeping in mind the world
record is 17.4 seconds for 35 rungs,

314
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:40,480
the only way you're getting there
is two rungs at a time.

315
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:42,800
That is completely crazy.

316
00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:47,880
Will he beat his Australian record
from last year?

317
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:49,280
I hope so.

318
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:51,960
(CHIME SOUNDS)
Here we go.

319
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:53,640
Come on, send it, Zak!

320
00:12:53,680 --> 00:12:55,280
Just going one at a...
(BUZZER SOUNDS)

321
00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:57,400
(AUDIENCE EXCLAIMS)

322
00:12:57,440 --> 00:12:59,480
Oh, and he's dropped it
on the third rung!

323
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:00,920
No way!

324
00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:03,920
Can't believe it!
No way!

325
00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:05,360
Oh, no!

326
00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:09,040
The crowd is stunned.
He's bombed out - our champion!

327
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:10,240
But you know what that means?

328
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:16,520
It means Saxon Johnstone has won
$15,000 on the Super Salmon Ladder.

329
00:13:16,560 --> 00:13:20,120
Oh, what a debut he has had!
Wow! Wow!

330
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:24,320
15,000 bucks to Saxon Johnstone!

331
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:25,640
Gee whiz!

332
00:13:25,680 --> 00:13:28,080
You'll be buying your school books
next year, mate, I guarantee you!

333
00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:29,480
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)

334
00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:31,520
I shouldn't be laughing, but I will,

335
00:13:31,560 --> 00:13:33,280
because you've won so much cash,

336
00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:35,120
but run us through it, Zakky -
what happened there?

337
00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:37,760
Oh, look, my approach was to try
and go nice and quick today.

338
00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:39,800
I managed to get
the whole way last year

339
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:41,480
and my goal was speed -
I wanted that world record.

340
00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:44,520
So, started doing some singles,
got the comfort.

341
00:13:44,560 --> 00:13:46,560
Went for it, and I think
I just misplaced my hands.

342
00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:47,840
(LAUGHTER)

343
00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:49,320
But, hey, congratulations to Saxon.

344
00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:51,000
That was so cool,
watching him get up there.

345
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:52,840
Absolutely. What a ripper!

346
00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:54,560
First season. That's unreal, eh?

347
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:57,560
I'm so happy someone else has won
some cash apart from you!

348
00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:00,080
Put your hands together
for your previous winner

349
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:02,160
of the Super Salmon Ladder,
Zakky Stolz,

350
00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:05,680
but your winner,
17-year-old Saxon Johnstone!

351
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:07,120
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)

352
00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:09,480
Get around him!
Here he is.

353
00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:10,760
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)

354
00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:14,240
Wow, you have absolutely slayed it
in your debut season.

355
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:16,960
How does it feel to be here
mixing in the legends

356
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:19,240
and actually coming home
with a medal?

357
00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:21,320
It feels amazing.
They're all great athletes.

358
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:22,760
I know each and every one of them

359
00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:24,480
had more than what it takes
to get to the top.

360
00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:26,720
I felt like I started to struggle
a little bit at the end

361
00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:28,400
and wasn't sure
if I was gonna get there,

362
00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:30,040
but I got there, got it done.

363
00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:34,200
And $15,000. That's a lot of money!
What are you gonna do with that?

364
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:36,840
Yeah. Hopefully I'd say
it might go into my car.

365
00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:38,560
Maybe a few trips away
with some friends.

366
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:41,800
Congratulations.
You are a deserving winner.

367
00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:43,160
Amazing effort!

368
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:45,440
And here's your Ninja Warrior medal.

369

(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)

370
00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:50,960

for Saxon Johnstone!

(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)

372
00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:56,000
Don't go anywhere -

373
00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:59,760
Australian Ninja Warrior - Record
Breakers continues after the break,

374
00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:04,440
with our lache masters taking on
the Soaring Sonic Shelf Grab.

375
00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:07,600
ZAK: I know that I can beat the
world record of 4.57 metres tonight.

376
00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:10,400
It's just whether
I can do it first try. (LAUGHS)

377
00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:13,480
And still to come,
two brand-new obstacles.

378
00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:15,880
The best of the best
will race head to head

379
00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:18,000
on the Spring Forward Face-Off.

380
00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:20,240
It's a flat-out dash for cash.

381
00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:22,200
They got the buzzer!
What was it?

382
00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:25,120
Then, on the Big Dipper
Freestyle Challenge,

383
00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:28,520
you'll see ninjas do things
you've never seen before.

384
00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:31,280
Gonna be fast, furious,
with a lot flare.

385
00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:36,520
And later, will new records be set
on the Rising Mega Warped Wall?

386
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:38,200
I've been training this
my whole life.

387
00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:39,600
You know, I'm ready.

388
00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:49,040
(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

389
00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:52,080
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)

390
00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:57,520
LEILA: Welcome back to Australian
Ninja Warrior - Record Breakers,

391
00:15:57,560 --> 00:16:00,360
and it's time now for the closest
our ninjas will ever come

392
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:02,200
to being Superman.

393
00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:03,320
Yeah, that's right, Leila,

394
00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:07,080
because on this obstacle,
they get the chance to fly.

395
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:10,960
If you like long laches -
and frankly, who doesn't? -

396
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:12,480
then this one is for you.

397
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:15,080
It is the Soaring Sonic Shelf Grab.

398
00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:18,160
This takes the basic lache
to a whole new level.

399
00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:21,200
This season, our Power Pool
featured the Shelf Grab

400
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:23,440
with a distance of 3.1 metres.

401
00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:25,200
JIM: Oh, no!
Ohh!

402
00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:29,760
We're starting tonight with a lache
more than one metre longer than that.

403
00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:32,040
In last season's Record Breakers,

404
00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:34,720
Ashlin Herbert took the title
on this obstacle,

405
00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:36,640
soaring through the air

406
00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:39,360
for an incredible Australian record
of 4.5 metres.

407
00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:43,160
Oh, yeah, that was one long lache!

408
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:45,800
And Ashlin did take a shot
at the word record

409
00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:46,920
but just missed out.

410
00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:49,560
So, now he's back
with unfinished business.

411
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:53,600
The world record of 4.57 metres
is held in the USA,

412
00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:56,160
but I reckon one
of these next four lache masters

413
00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:58,080
can bring it home tonight.

414
00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:01,520
The four ninjas competing
in the Soaring Sonic Shelf Grab

415
00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:06,360
are 2022 Australian Ninja Warrior
winner Zak Stolz!

416
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:10,880
The first person to be crowned
Australian Ninja Warrior Ben Polson.

417
00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:17,200
23-year-old Brisvegas ninja
and lache weapon David Lack,

418
00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:20,320
and current Shelf Grab Australian
record holder

419
00:17:20,360 --> 00:17:22,440
Ashlin 'Flashlin' Herbert!

420
00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:25,160
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)

421
00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:30,280
Now, tonight the distance between
the shelves starts at 4.25 metres

422
00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:32,920
and will increase
until we have a winner.

423
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:35,160
And the ninja to lache
the longest distance

424
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:37,240
will not only enjoy
the taste of victory,

425
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:40,800
but will pocket a very cool $15,000.

426
00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:44,240
That's right, and remember, this
is a knock-out competition, Leila.

427
00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:47,000
So, if you don't make your lache,
you are out!

428
00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:48,040
Are we all set?

429
00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:51,080
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)

430
00:17:51,120 --> 00:17:53,560
Let's see
if our first ninja can make it.

431
00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:58,000
Yeah, with 100 grand in his pocket
from winning the 2022 season,

432
00:17:58,040 --> 00:17:59,880
he's after more bucks!

433
00:17:59,920 --> 00:18:02,600
He's a greedy guts! It's Zak Stolz!

434
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:03,960
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)

435
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:06,280
As the reigning champ
of Ninja Warrior,

436
00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:08,720
I feel a little bit of pressure
to continue that winning streak.

437
00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:11,600
I've been training laches
pretty frequently,

438
00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:14,800
and I'm excited to see
if that training pays off.

439
00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:17,240
I'm really hoping
to beat Ash's record.

440
00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:20,440
We've always been like, this far
apart when we do our laches.

441
00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:24,040
I know that I can beat the world
record of 4.57 metres tonight.

442
00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:27,040
It's just whether I can do it
first try. (LAUGHS)

443
00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:29,160
4.25 metres.

444
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:31,200
It's more than a metre longer

445
00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:34,160
than anything we've seen
in regular competition.

446
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:36,080
It's a long way. It's a long way.

447
00:18:36,120 --> 00:18:38,720
Its absolutely ridiculous.

448
00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:42,000
It should not be doable.
No, shouldn't be possible.

449
00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:43,280
It shouldn't be possible...
Yeah.

450
00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:44,400
..but apparently it is,

451
00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:47,000
and here's a great ninja to show us.

452
00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:49,360
4.25 metres!

453
00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:55,600
Zak Stolz getting the most power
he can out of that backswing

454
00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:57,200
and look at that!

455
00:18:57,240 --> 00:18:59,000
He got it!
He's happy with that too.

456
00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:01,480
This is no easy distance, is it?
No.

457
00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:03,840
What an effort. Amazing.

458
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:05,360
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)

459
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:07,560
'Zak Attack' Stolz
has launched himself

460
00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:09,560
into the next round with ease.

461
00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:11,640
Let's see
if our next ninja can make it.

462
00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:15,680
He's the first person to be crowned
Australian Ninja Warrior.

463
00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:17,920
It's Ben Polson taking on

464
00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:21,880
the 4.25-metre
Soaring Sonic Shelf Grab.

465
00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:25,600
It's a privilege to be back
in Record Breakers.

466
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:27,680
It's one of those nights
where all the ninjas

467
00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:29,200
kind of just let their hair out.

468
00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:31,640
There's nothing really to lose here,
there's only something to gain,

469
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:32,720
and I'm really, really excited

470
00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:33,920
to see what people
are gonna do tonight.

471
00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:35,480
Doing shelf grabs and laches

472
00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:38,080
is something that got me into
Ninja Warrior in the first place.

473
00:19:38,120 --> 00:19:40,120
It's the reason
that I've stuck around

474
00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:41,640
and that I love
Ninja Warrior so much.

475
00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:44,000
It's the opportunity
to literally fly through the air

476
00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:45,560
and be weightless.

477
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:47,400
Being the best at the one thing

478
00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:49,600
that got me into Ninja Warrior
in the first place

479
00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:51,640
would be a really nice thing
to walk away with.

480

481
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:57,320
This is a guy who can do anything.

Oh, yeah, absolutely.
The Warped Wall, the laches.

483
00:19:59,120 --> 00:20:02,360
The speed, the endurance, the rock
climbing. He's got it all.

484
00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:05,080
Yes. He's a doyenne of ninja.
Doyenne!

485
00:20:05,120 --> 00:20:06,680
And here he goes!

486
00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:11,480
He's got the great reach,
the great technique, and he's on!

is only in his second year.

He's chasing the world record

493
00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:30,480
after giving us an heroic attempt
on the Bar Hop last season.

494
00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:32,480

The bar's in the water.

498
00:20:39,360 --> 00:20:43,320
His only chance is to go
from here to the platform.

last year, I was like,

501
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:50,520
"This is what I wanna do."

502
00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:51,920
I wanted to train for this,

503
00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:54,680
so Mum let me build a huge rig
in her backyard.

504
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:56,760
It literally takes up
the whole entire backyard,

505
00:20:56,800 --> 00:20:58,800
um, which I'm sure
she's stoked about.

506
00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:02,200
(LAUGHS) Sorry, Mum.

507
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:04,080
I'm pretty hungry for the win today.

00:21:04,120 --> 00:21:06,120
15 grand -
that's pretty appetising.

509
00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:08,240
So, taking that home would be huge.

could go pretty far.

this distance before.

isn't there?

528

It's the distance,

Alright, so, now the one
we've all been waiting for.

I'm hoping to get about 4.7 metres.

Yeah, so, aim for tonight will be

that record broken.

He's got the technique,
he's got the power.

Oh, he has stuck it alright.
Got it!

This bloke is a legend!

Ashlin made 4.25 metres
look too easy,

559

with only three competitors.

Let's try and thin the field

562
00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:19,760
by adding a further 25cm
between the shelves

563
00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:22,760
to a whopping 4.5 metres,

564
00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:26,880
which is the current
Australian record held by Ashlin

565
00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:30,480
and only 7cm shy of the world record.

566

this was the Australian record
set last year by Ashlin.

Our next competitor
'Zak Attack' Stolz.

576

He's never done
this distance before,

577
00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:02,920

The 'Zak Attack' -
he's in good form this season.

00:24:13,120 --> 00:24:14,760
This is his year

581
00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:17,080
for the Soaring Sonic Shelf Grab.

582
00:24:17,120 --> 00:24:19,320
I can't stress how big
this distance is, Leila.

583
00:24:19,360 --> 00:24:21,640
This is enormous.
It is ridiculous.

584
00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:23,880
This is the distance
Zak failed on last year.

585
00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:28,120
MAN: Stolz!
REBECCA: Ohh! Ohh!

586
00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:29,680
Didn't have his hair
tied back last time.

587
00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:31,000
Maybe that'll make a difference.

588
00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:32,680
4.5 metres.

589
00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:34,560
This to equal Ashlin's
Australian record.

That is the longest one
he's ever done.

That's incredible!

What can't this guy do in 2022?

He's done it all!

This is his year!

601
00:24:57,560 --> 00:25:00,480
Get in here, Zakky! The Zak Attack!
That must have felt good.

602
00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:02,840
You didn't quite make it
to that length last year.

603
00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:05,400
You just made 4.5 metres.
How does it feel?

604
00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:06,480
Oh, it feels great.

605
00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:08,800
Like, I know...I knew
it was within my range,

606
00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:10,160
and to actually do it first try

607
00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:12,800
is probably a different thing
than being able to actually hit it.

608
00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:14,440
It was incredible, mate.
We love to watch it.

Do you think you can beat
'Flashlin' Ashlin?

Oh, look, we're always
so close with our laches.

I'd love to get a little leg-up, but
I hope he does really well as well.

I'd like to be there with him
when we do a world record.

a world record tonight.

Ben Polson also splashed out
at 4.5 metres.

he can do it this time around.

That's right, Leila.

Now, keep in mind both Ashlin
and Zak share the Australian record.

that first little session there.

You were getting the legs going

641

the legs back into the shelf.

00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:37,520
I think one thing that
we're all conscious of

644
00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:41,360
is peeling off on the backswing
'cause you're wrenching back so far,

645
00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:44,160
and my fingers just moved
and slipped

646

as I was swinging backwards
ready to go

647
00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:49,480

throws you off so I had to reset.

unfortunately, it was a no-go.

equalled the Australian record,

678
00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:13,080
and now they're gonna try and break
the world record of 4.57 metres

679
00:28:13,120 --> 00:28:16,400
when we push the shelves back
to 4.6.

680
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:19,640
Push it back! Push it back!
(CHANTING)

681
00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:24,360
Push it back! Push it back!
Push it back! Push it back!

682
00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:28,480
After the break,
can our two remaining ninjas

683
00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:32,040
set a new world record
on the Soaring Sonic Shelf Grab?

684
00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:34,320
I know that I can beat
the world record tonight.

685
00:28:34,360 --> 00:28:35,520
To not go for it would be silly.

686
00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:39,160
And, later, more of your
favourite ninjas return

687
00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:42,120
competing for cash in
three supercharged events

688
00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:45,000
including the brand-new
Spring Forward Face-Off.

689
00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:47,200
This event's gonna be high octane.

690
00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:49,840
And the Big Dipper
Freestyle Challenge.

691
00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:51,880
Tonight, we're intentionally
going into the water,

692
00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:54,200
so, you know,
we're gonna do it with style.

694
00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:07,720
Welcome back to Australian
Ninja Warrior Record Breakers

695
00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:09,520
where some of our favourite ninjas

696
00:29:09,560 --> 00:29:12,760
are back to compete in
five supercharged events

697
00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:15,440
for their chance to win some cash

698
00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:18,440
and, hopefully, break some records
along the way.

699
00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:22,080
Now, before the break,
Zak Stolz and Ashlin Herbert

700
00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:25,240
equalled the Australian record
of 4.5 metres,

701
00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:29,880
both currently sharing the $15,000
unless one of them can succeed

702
00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:33,600
on this world-record attempt
and take it all home for themselves.

703
00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:36,240
The distance between the shelves
has been adjusted

704
00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:40,200
and is now set at an incredible
4.6 metres,

705
00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:42,160
which is three centimetres further

706
00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:45,840
than the world record
currently held by the US.

707
00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:53,000
And the first ninja to attempt it
is the mighty Zak Stolz.

708
00:29:55,040 --> 00:29:58,360
Here we go, Australia,
we got a world record on our hands.

The pride of a nation is riding on
the shoulders of these two ninjas.

00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:16,640
Can Australia beat the USA?

He's got the world record!

He's won $100,000 and now
he's got a world record.

Get over here, world record holder.

728
00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:04,720
How does it feel, Zak Attack,
to have the new world record?

729
00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:06,040
Oh, it feels pretty awesome.

730
00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:07,440
I don't know how long I'll have it.

731
00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:09,160
This guy out there's
an absolute shredder,

732
00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:11,600
so I'm really hoping Ash gives
that a crack and catches it, too.

733
00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:14,440
OK, so, Ash to one side, though.
He's going for 4.6.

734
00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:16,640
Can you go further than 4.6?

735
00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:21,200
Maybe 4.6001.

00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:24,400
OK, I'm sure we can move it
a millimetre for you.

Now it's time for Ashlin Herbert,
our previous record holder,

742
00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:36,560
to try to match Zak's world record.

743

Can he match him and
get it to 4.6 metres?

749
00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:53,920
Last year, he couldn't
make this distance.

750
00:31:53,960 --> 00:31:55,040
Can he do it now?

behind him, Zak urging him on.

should we push it back to 4.7?

Or is that complete madness?
Should we push it back?

00:36:29,680 --> 00:36:34,320
Australian Ninja Warrior Record
Breakers continues after the break

848
00:36:34,360 --> 00:36:39,600
with a ninja versus ninja showdown
on the Spring Forward Face-Off.

849
00:36:39,640 --> 00:36:42,320
It's an out-and-out sprint
for the cash that includes

850
00:36:42,360 --> 00:36:46,560
grand finalists Jake Baker,
Daniel Watermann and Judith Carroll.

851
00:36:46,600 --> 00:36:48,000
Who will be the fastest?

852
00:36:48,040 --> 00:36:50,600
Who will spring for the 15 grand?

853
00:36:50,640 --> 00:36:52,080
And who will end up in the pool?

854
00:36:52,800 --> 00:36:55,080
Oh!
In the pool!

855
00:36:55,120 --> 00:36:56,160
You don't want to blink.

856
00:36:56,200 --> 00:36:57,600
You'll miss whatever happens.

857
00:36:57,640 --> 00:36:58,840
It's gonna be brutal.

858
00:36:58,880 --> 00:37:03,040
And, later on, the world record was
smashed by Benny Polson last season

859
00:37:03,080 --> 00:37:04,520
on the Rising Mega Warped Wall.

860
00:37:04,560 --> 00:37:06,800
Can he do it again?
It's Ninja Warrior.

861
00:37:17,960 --> 00:37:20,480
Welcome back to Australian
Ninja Warrior Record Breakers

862
00:37:20,520 --> 00:37:23,920
where the ninjas are having a crack
at some of our favourite obstacles

863
00:37:23,960 --> 00:37:27,360
with $15,000 in cash
for the victors.

864
00:37:27,400 --> 00:37:28,520
Yeah, that's right and, next,

865
00:37:28,560 --> 00:37:32,000
our ninjas will need a combination
of speed, stamina

866
00:37:32,040 --> 00:37:36,000
and upper-body strength to triumph
on the Spring Forward Face-Off.

867
00:37:36,040 --> 00:37:37,400
Let's take a look.

868
00:37:37,440 --> 00:37:39,840
In this obstacle,
ninjas will go head to head

869
00:37:39,880 --> 00:37:44,480
racing up a rope to six
evenly spaced spring bars

870
00:37:44,520 --> 00:37:47,520
where they'll need to lache
across the moving springs,

871
00:37:47,560 --> 00:37:50,040
execute a quick turnaround
using a static bar

872
00:37:50,080 --> 00:37:51,680
and then make their way back.

873
00:37:51,720 --> 00:37:54,440
The first to hit the buzzer
moves on to the next round.

874
00:37:54,480 --> 00:37:58,120
Now, this obstacle is tricky enough
to navigate under normal conditions

875
00:37:58,160 --> 00:38:02,080
but this is a showdown, so our
ninjas will be racing at top speed.

876
00:38:02,120 --> 00:38:04,400
It is a series of knock-out races

877
00:38:04,440 --> 00:38:06,880
with the ultimate winner
bagging the 15K.

878
00:38:09,480 --> 00:38:11,840
This is going to be unreal.

879
00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:15,280
I'm here in the sideline splash
zone getting covered in water

880
00:38:15,320 --> 00:38:17,320
every time one of these ninjas
falls in the drink

881
00:38:17,360 --> 00:38:19,800
and, let me tell ya,
they are gonna fall in the drink

882
00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:23,320
because they need to move fast
in the Spring Forward Face-Off.

883
00:38:23,360 --> 00:38:24,520
The big question is

884
00:38:24,560 --> 00:38:27,400
which ninja can avoid the splash
and take home the cash?

885
00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:33,640
The four ninjas competing are Jake
Baker, Judith Carroll, Ben Polson

886
00:38:33,680 --> 00:38:37,160
and Daniel Watermann,
the Send It Ninja.

887
00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:38,360
Yeah, that's right, Leila,

888
00:38:38,400 --> 00:38:40,960
but let's have a little bit
more fun here with this one.

889
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:45,840
I want to see our ninjas
choose their opponents tonight.

890
00:38:45,880 --> 00:38:48,640
So, Jake Baker,

891
00:38:48,680 --> 00:38:51,360
you can choose from any of
the ninjas in the crowd tonight.

892
00:38:51,400 --> 00:38:53,720
Who would you like to
go up against, mate?

893
00:38:53,760 --> 00:38:58,120
Well, Will, money's great
but glory is eternal

894
00:38:58,160 --> 00:39:00,880
and, to be the best,
you've gotta beat the best.

895
00:39:00,920 --> 00:39:03,600
So, Ashlin, let's boogie.

896
00:39:03,640 --> 00:39:05,120
Oh!

897
00:39:05,160 --> 00:39:06,360
Oh, you've caught him napping.

898
00:39:06,400 --> 00:39:09,400
Look, he was having a bit
of a kip on the sideline.

899
00:39:10,680 --> 00:39:12,600
Laconic as always.

900
00:39:12,640 --> 00:39:14,840
You've gone for Flashlin Ashlin,
I love that.

901
00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:17,600
The speediest man out there,
he wants the crown.

902
00:39:17,640 --> 00:39:22,040
Ashlin, Jake, it's time to face off.

903
00:39:22,080 --> 00:39:23,600
Let's do it, boys!

904
00:39:25,480 --> 00:39:28,360
Well, look at this, it's a match-up
made for this obstacle.

905
00:39:28,400 --> 00:39:31,760
It's Jake Baker up against
Ashlin 'Flashlin' Herbert.

906
00:39:33,520 --> 00:39:36,600
Jake Baker is known for his speed
and strength on the course.

907
00:39:36,640 --> 00:39:40,240
He made it all the way to
Grand Final 3 this season.

908
00:39:40,280 --> 00:39:42,440
Both he and Ashlin
fell on the same obstacle

909
00:39:42,480 --> 00:39:45,840
with Jake's time only two seconds
slower than Ashlin's.

910
00:39:46,600 --> 00:39:51,120
Ashlin, well, he's a Ninja legend
known for his speed.

911
00:39:51,160 --> 00:39:55,280
And, as history tells us,
if he doesn't fall, he wins.

912
00:39:55,320 --> 00:39:57,240
BOTH: Whoa!

913
00:39:57,280 --> 00:40:00,600
Hold on tight, this is bound
to be fast and furious.

914
00:40:00,640 --> 00:40:02,600
Yeah, that's right
and the winner takes all, Leila.

915
00:40:02,640 --> 00:40:04,040
The winner goes onto the next round.

916
00:40:04,080 --> 00:40:06,000
The loser will be out.

917
00:40:06,720 --> 00:40:08,880
Jake Baker sniffing the rope,
interesting.

918
00:40:09,600 --> 00:40:12,760
Here we go,
the Spring Forward Face-Off.

919
00:40:12,800 --> 00:40:15,240
Ashlin Herbert, Jake Baker,
this is gonna be fast.

920
00:40:15,280 --> 00:40:16,440
(BUZZER DINGS)

921
00:40:16,480 --> 00:40:17,840
OK, they're off.

922
00:40:17,880 --> 00:40:19,280
They're both strong on the rope,

923
00:40:19,320 --> 00:40:21,400
but it's Ashlin
who has nailed the start.

924
00:40:21,440 --> 00:40:22,440
He's off to a flyer.

925
00:40:22,480 --> 00:40:25,880
And look how he links those swings,
he's opening up quite a lead.

926
00:40:25,920 --> 00:40:28,320
He is gonna be too hard to catch.

927
00:40:28,360 --> 00:40:30,600
He's just reached the turn.

928
00:40:30,640 --> 00:40:31,760
Jake is catching him!

929
00:40:31,800 --> 00:40:33,280
Come on, Jakey, come on, Jake!

930
00:40:33,320 --> 00:40:35,120
Jakey had a great turn, though.

931
00:40:35,160 --> 00:40:36,320
Jake's coming back!

932
00:40:36,360 --> 00:40:39,280
It's neck and neck, stroke
for stroke, spring for spring!

933
00:40:39,320 --> 00:40:40,920
Oh, Jake's in the pool!

934
00:40:40,960 --> 00:40:44,960
Ashlin Herbert smashes the buzzer

935
00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:48,680
and, Jake, two thumbs up
from the bottom of the pool.

936
00:40:50,680 --> 00:40:54,680
Jake Baker almost pulled off one
of the great Ninja comebacks here.

937
00:40:54,720 --> 00:40:57,880
Look at the strength of this guy
on his turnaround.

938
00:40:57,920 --> 00:40:59,400
Ashlin swings and turns,

939
00:40:59,440 --> 00:41:01,920
Jake basically explodes
off the static bar.

940
00:41:01,960 --> 00:41:04,920
His turnaround almost
two seconds faster than Ashlin

941
00:41:04,960 --> 00:41:07,720
and it almost got the job done.

942
00:41:07,760 --> 00:41:09,480
Ash, he nearly got you there, mate.

943
00:41:09,520 --> 00:41:11,080
Almost, almost.

944
00:41:11,120 --> 00:41:13,200
He's lookin' a bit wet now,
though, isn't he?

945
00:41:13,240 --> 00:41:14,640
Little bit moist, innit?

946
00:41:14,680 --> 00:41:16,200
(LAUGHTER)

947
00:41:16,240 --> 00:41:19,720
Alright, mate, alright, not sure
you can say that in those pants.

948
00:41:22,240 --> 00:41:26,600
Amazing, Flashlin Ashlin Herbert,
you are through to the next round.

949
00:41:26,640 --> 00:41:28,480
Alright, let's kick off
our next race

950
00:41:28,520 --> 00:41:31,320
and it's the Nanny Ninja, Judith.

951
00:41:33,400 --> 00:41:35,560
You get to choose
who you want to race.

952
00:41:35,600 --> 00:41:36,640
Who's it gonna be?

953
00:41:36,680 --> 00:41:39,960
It's an easy choice tonight.

954
00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:41,560
I'm going with Mat.

955
00:41:41,600 --> 00:41:44,840
Your partner, Mat.
Oh!

956
00:41:44,880 --> 00:41:46,800
What a showdown.
Jeez!

957
00:41:46,840 --> 00:41:49,760
Anything on the line here at all
between you guys, Judith?

958
00:41:49,800 --> 00:41:51,880
Just honour.

959
00:41:51,920 --> 00:41:53,520
Just honour.
Oh, is that all?

960
00:41:53,560 --> 00:41:55,080
Just honour.

961
00:41:55,120 --> 00:41:58,400
I didn't realise you had
a relationship in the 1600s.

962
00:41:59,400 --> 00:42:01,400
Alright, guys, let's get out there.

963
00:42:01,440 --> 00:42:03,200
See who comes home with the honour.

964
00:42:04,800 --> 00:42:06,960
So, it's a showdown
between two ninjas

965
00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:09,600
who are very close
both on and off the course.

966
00:42:09,640 --> 00:42:11,480
This season, Judith Carroll

967
00:42:11,520 --> 00:42:15,920
became one of only three women to
ever make it to the Grand Finals.

968
00:42:15,960 --> 00:42:18,040
She's at the top of her game
this year.

969
00:42:18,080 --> 00:42:22,640
That's right, she's up against her
Ninja boyfriend, Mat Hutchins-Read.

970
00:42:22,680 --> 00:42:24,000
He was a grand finalist last season

971
00:42:24,040 --> 00:42:25,840
but got knocked out in the semis
in his head to head

972
00:42:25,880 --> 00:42:29,120
with Alex Bigg this year,
so she already has bragging rights.

973
00:42:30,200 --> 00:42:32,840
They love Ninja,
they love each other.

974
00:42:32,880 --> 00:42:34,240
They just don't love losing.

975
00:42:34,280 --> 00:42:36,360
It's our Ninja couple Judith Carroll

976
00:42:36,400 --> 00:42:38,440
and Mat Hutchins-Read
going head to head.

977
00:42:40,720 --> 00:42:42,680
Big bragging rights at home.

978
00:42:42,720 --> 00:42:44,240
Mat playing the pre-start games.

979
00:42:44,280 --> 00:42:45,520
Judith cool as you like.

980
00:42:45,560 --> 00:42:46,560
(BUZZER DINGS)

981
00:42:46,600 --> 00:42:47,800
And they're off.

982
00:42:47,840 --> 00:42:50,080
Both got very similar styles
and approaches to the course,

983
00:42:50,120 --> 00:42:51,920
and both have great endurance.

984
00:42:51,960 --> 00:42:54,440
Mat's the first to the springs
and takes the early lead,

985
00:42:54,480 --> 00:42:57,160
but one mistimed bounce
can change everything.

986
00:42:57,960 --> 00:42:59,240
Oh, and here comes Judith.

987
00:42:59,280 --> 00:43:00,680
There isn't much in this.

988
00:43:00,720 --> 00:43:02,000
Mat about one bar ahead

989
00:43:02,040 --> 00:43:05,280
and we've seen how much time
can be made up on the turnaround.

990
00:43:05,320 --> 00:43:07,160
Anything could happen.

991
00:43:07,200 --> 00:43:08,760
She's right behind him.

992
00:43:08,800 --> 00:43:09,880
This is her chance.

993
00:43:09,920 --> 00:43:12,240
If Mat is slow here,
Judith can make up ground.

994
00:43:12,280 --> 00:43:14,200
Can she get back on
the springs quickly?

995
00:43:14,240 --> 00:43:16,200
Yes, she's done that
faster than Mat.

996
00:43:16,240 --> 00:43:18,040
Come on, Judith, come on, Judith!

997
00:43:18,080 --> 00:43:20,040
Come on, Judith, come on,
let's do it for the girls.

998
00:43:20,080 --> 00:43:22,440
Now, Matty's flying
but he is under pressure

999
00:43:22,480 --> 00:43:24,200
because Judith's cranking it up.

1000
00:43:24,240 --> 00:43:25,600
Oh, here comes Judith!

1001
00:43:25,640 --> 00:43:27,080
Oh, come on, Judith!

1002
00:43:27,120 --> 00:43:28,560
She's gotta throw everything
at this.

1003
00:43:28,600 --> 00:43:29,920
Oh, she's just held on.

1004
00:43:29,960 --> 00:43:34,160
Mat's on his way to the buzzer
and he will take the honours - wow.

1005
00:43:34,200 --> 00:43:36,520
The buzzer is his!

1006
00:43:36,560 --> 00:43:39,480
It was a close contest
but Mat takes it on the day

1007
00:43:39,520 --> 00:43:41,280
and he is through to the next round.

1008
00:43:43,480 --> 00:43:46,560
Oh, could there be any worse feeling
than losing to your partner?

1009
00:43:46,600 --> 00:43:47,680
No, no.

1010
00:43:47,720 --> 00:43:50,680
Mat is gonna be sleeping outside,
though, we all know it.

1011
00:43:51,240 --> 00:43:56,080
OK, anybody in the doghouse, Judith,
or are we all happy?

1012
00:43:56,120 --> 00:43:58,840
I'll take the doghouse.
It's really cute.

1013
00:43:59,720 --> 00:44:01,320
Oh, it was close.

1014
00:44:02,960 --> 00:44:04,920
Mat Hutchins-Read, you are through

1015
00:44:04,960 --> 00:44:08,200
to the next round of the
Spring Forward Face-Off.

1016
00:44:08,240 --> 00:44:09,920
Congratulations, mate.

1017
00:44:09,960 --> 00:44:13,200
Hopefully not the end
of his relationship.

1018
00:44:13,240 --> 00:44:14,400
(LAUGHTER)

1019
00:44:14,440 --> 00:44:16,800
OK, Daniel Watermann,
you're up next.

1020
00:44:16,840 --> 00:44:18,320
Who do you want to race?

1021
00:44:18,360 --> 00:44:21,320
Tonight, I've decided to give myself
a bit of a challenge

1022
00:44:21,360 --> 00:44:22,840
seeing as it's Record Breakers.

1023
00:44:22,880 --> 00:44:26,560
So, I'm gonna choose fellow Daniel,
the Barefoot Ninja, Daniel Mason.

1024
00:44:26,600 --> 00:44:28,680
Oh!
Oh, wow!

1025
00:44:29,800 --> 00:44:32,320
Gutsy move, Dan the man, I like it.

1026
00:44:32,360 --> 00:44:34,520
Dan Watermann, the Send It Ninja,

1027
00:44:34,560 --> 00:44:38,920
he sent his way into Grand Final 2
after blowing everyone away

1028
00:44:38,960 --> 00:44:44,040
on the Spring Forward obstacle
with his signature gibbon swing.

1029
00:44:44,080 --> 00:44:46,120
Oh, yes, he's got the flow!
JIM: Oh, my goodness!

1030
00:44:46,160 --> 00:44:51,040
Will he send it again to beat the
speedy Barefoot Ninja, Dan Mason?

1031
00:44:52,000 --> 00:44:53,480
Hate to call in the cringe cops

1032
00:44:53,520 --> 00:44:55,840
but Danned if you do,
Danned if you don't.

1033
00:44:55,880 --> 00:44:57,960
A 14-year age gap
between them, Leila.

1034
00:44:58,000 --> 00:45:01,200
Daniel Watermann has definitely
been the star of the season.

1035
00:45:01,240 --> 00:45:02,840
He's won the hearts of
Australia, hasn't he?

1036
00:45:02,880 --> 00:45:04,560
Yeah, absolutely.

1037
00:45:04,600 --> 00:45:06,720
What a future for the 16-year-old

1038
00:45:06,760 --> 00:45:09,000
and he's taking on
the Barefoot Ninja.

1039
00:45:09,040 --> 00:45:10,240
This is gonna be quick.

1040
00:45:11,360 --> 00:45:13,840
Pretty good match-up here now
they're standing next to each other.

1041
00:45:13,880 --> 00:45:15,840
There's only a centimetre
in their height difference.

1042
00:45:15,880 --> 00:45:17,720
(BUZZER DINGS)
Off they go.

1043
00:45:17,760 --> 00:45:20,560
Will the Send It Ninja
use that signature gibbon swing?

1044
00:45:20,600 --> 00:45:23,680
Dan Mason is no slouch on
these kind of obstacles.

1045
00:45:23,720 --> 00:45:26,520
Oh, the Barefoot Ninja
is not mucking around.

1046
00:45:26,560 --> 00:45:28,160
He's one bouncing off,
look at him go.

1047
00:45:28,200 --> 00:45:31,240
Wowee, look at the flow
on Dan Mason.

1048
00:45:31,280 --> 00:45:33,000
The Send It Ninja looking smooth.

1049
00:45:33,040 --> 00:45:34,600
Can he nail the turnaround?

1050
00:45:34,640 --> 00:45:35,880
Yes, he can!

1051
00:45:35,920 --> 00:45:38,640
Dan Mason has just smashed
this obstacle.

1052
00:45:38,680 --> 00:45:39,920
The Send It Ninja,

1053
00:45:39,960 --> 00:45:43,000
oh, trying to catch up
but he's just mistimed that.

1054
00:45:43,040 --> 00:45:45,960
There's a reason why the
Barefoot Ninja's a legend.

1055
00:45:46,000 --> 00:45:49,240
If it was a grace and style
contest, Dan Watermann

1056
00:45:49,280 --> 00:45:53,160
would've scored some points
but Daniel Mason the winner here.

1057
00:45:53,200 --> 00:45:54,360
I know.

1058
00:45:54,400 --> 00:45:56,480
He just lost his confidence
halfway through, didn't he?

1059
00:45:56,520 --> 00:45:58,840
Jeez, what a great race,
I love this kid, Dan Watermann.

1060
00:45:59,600 --> 00:46:00,960
He's been a star this year.

1061
00:46:01,680 --> 00:46:06,440
OK, Dan Mason, you are through
to the next round.

1062
00:46:06,480 --> 00:46:07,880
(CHEERING)

1063
00:46:09,480 --> 00:46:10,680
The superior Daniel.

1064
00:46:11,280 --> 00:46:14,280
And now it's time for the
final race for this round.

1065
00:46:14,320 --> 00:46:17,680
This man needs
absolutely no introduction.

1066
00:46:17,720 --> 00:46:20,360
It's Australia's first
Ninja Warrior.

1067
00:46:20,400 --> 00:46:21,960
Ben Polson.

1068
00:46:22,000 --> 00:46:24,360
Ben, who would you like to face off
in the Face-Off?

1069
00:46:24,400 --> 00:46:25,760
Good question.

1070
00:46:25,800 --> 00:46:29,760
This ninja is younger than me, he's
certainly better looking than me

1071
00:46:29,800 --> 00:46:32,320
and he beat me in the regular season
so I need my redemption.

1072
00:46:32,360 --> 00:46:33,880
It is Saxon Johnstone.

1073
00:46:33,920 --> 00:46:36,400
Wow!
Oh, yes!

1074
00:46:36,440 --> 00:46:37,640
Good...
Saxo!

1075
00:46:39,040 --> 00:46:43,200
Ben Polson and his mini-me,
Saxon Johnstone.

1076
00:46:43,240 --> 00:46:45,320
This is gonna be a great contest.

1077
00:46:46,760 --> 00:46:50,680
Ben Polson became the first and only
Australian Ninja Warrior

1078
00:46:50,720 --> 00:46:54,200
after conquering Mount Midoriyama
in Season 4.

1079
00:46:54,240 --> 00:46:57,000
He's chosen his protege,
Saxon Johnstone,

1080
00:46:57,040 --> 00:46:59,680
our best-performing teen
in the competition.

1081
00:46:59,720 --> 00:47:01,720
Well done, brother,
that was awesome.

1082
00:47:01,760 --> 00:47:05,160
In his debut season,
Saxon placed fourth overall,

1083
00:47:05,200 --> 00:47:09,800
beating Ben, so there's more
than just 15 grand on the line.

1084
00:47:12,160 --> 00:47:14,000
Huge match, this one.

1085
00:47:14,040 --> 00:47:17,120
Saxon went further and faster
in the season.

1086
00:47:17,160 --> 00:47:20,080
Yeah, this is gonna
be one for the ages.

1087
00:47:20,120 --> 00:47:22,320
Here we go, the master
v the apprentice.

1088
00:47:22,360 --> 00:47:25,000
They're not mucking around,
here they go.

1089
00:47:25,040 --> 00:47:27,280
Both of them on the ropes.

1090
00:47:27,320 --> 00:47:30,320
Saxon's moving quick but Ben
made it to the laches ahead of him.

1091
00:47:30,360 --> 00:47:32,120
Saxon's gonna have
to get going here.

1092
00:47:32,160 --> 00:47:34,360
He's gonna have to get going.
Ooh!

1093
00:47:34,400 --> 00:47:36,040
Wowee.

1094
00:47:36,080 --> 00:47:37,560
It's the experience of Polson.

1095
00:47:37,600 --> 00:47:40,000
Ben is flying.

1096
00:47:40,040 --> 00:47:41,440
Saxon's got a rhythm going now.

1097
00:47:41,480 --> 00:47:43,720
He's gonna have to
jump back around, though.

1098
00:47:43,760 --> 00:47:46,360
Hang on a second. Here comes Saxon!
Oh, he's got him.

1099
00:47:46,400 --> 00:47:47,720
Here he comes.

1100
00:47:47,760 --> 00:47:48,880
His mini-me.

1101
00:47:48,920 --> 00:47:51,320
Go, Saxon!

1102
00:47:51,360 --> 00:47:52,400
Oh, my god!

1103
00:47:52,440 --> 00:47:55,000
And Saxon Jo... Oh!

1104
00:47:55,040 --> 00:47:58,800
Oh, no, he's catching up!
Ben for the buzzer!

1105
00:47:58,840 --> 00:48:00,760
Oh, my god!
Oh, my god!

1106
00:48:00,800 --> 00:48:03,160
Extraordinary!
What happened?

1107
00:48:03,200 --> 00:48:04,280
What happened?

1108
00:48:04,320 --> 00:48:07,200
Well, we are in Homebush and
I feel like that took me back

1109
00:48:07,240 --> 00:48:10,200
to the year 2000, Hackett and
Thorpe going stroke for stroke.

1110
00:48:10,240 --> 00:48:13,640
This time, it's Johnstone and Polson
stroke for stroke.

1111
00:48:13,680 --> 00:48:15,640
I think the lead changed
three times.

1112
00:48:15,680 --> 00:48:18,840
Just on that turnaround there,
that's where he got him.

1113
00:48:18,880 --> 00:48:20,800
And then Ben got hung up
on one of the bars.

1114
00:48:20,840 --> 00:48:22,120
He was gone for all money.

1115
00:48:22,160 --> 00:48:24,440
Saxon was flying ahead of him.

1116
00:48:24,480 --> 00:48:28,200
But then it was his choice
not to go for the rope

1117
00:48:28,240 --> 00:48:30,480
which ultimately cost him

1118
00:48:30,520 --> 00:48:32,880
as Polson comes over the top
and hits the buzzer.

1119
00:48:33,720 --> 00:48:35,560
That was over,
that was done and dusted.

1120
00:48:35,600 --> 00:48:37,280
I reckon Polson'd almost given up.

1121
00:48:37,320 --> 00:48:38,440
What a finish.

1122
00:48:38,480 --> 00:48:42,960
Saxon, mate, I've seen you go up
a Warped Wall 4.3 metres

1123
00:48:43,000 --> 00:48:45,400
but you couldn't get up
the metre-and-a-half platform.

1124
00:48:45,440 --> 00:48:46,680
What's going on?

1125
00:48:46,720 --> 00:48:47,760
I thought I had that.

1126
00:48:47,800 --> 00:48:50,320
I put my hand on the edge
and the mat, I don't know,

1127
00:48:50,360 --> 00:48:52,320
maybe my wrist sort of
bended a little bit.

1128
00:48:52,360 --> 00:48:55,120
Just found it hard to get up,
should've used this thing.

1129
00:48:55,160 --> 00:48:58,240
Yeah, that's what it's there for,
that's what we put it there for.

1130
00:48:58,280 --> 00:48:59,360
The old rope.

1131
00:48:59,400 --> 00:49:02,160
Ben Polson, this was your shot
at redemption.

1132
00:49:02,200 --> 00:49:03,240
You got it.

1133
00:49:03,280 --> 00:49:05,040
I got a second life, then,
to be honest.

1134
00:49:05,080 --> 00:49:08,000
I mean, I think everyone in
Australia was going for Saxon,

1135
00:49:08,040 --> 00:49:11,880
even me, cheering him as I'm losing,
but I'm just super grateful

1136
00:49:11,920 --> 00:49:16,080
that, once again, my long arms
managed to help me on the course.

1137
00:49:16,120 --> 00:49:20,240
I think Saxon not getting up
and you being significantly taller

1138
00:49:20,280 --> 00:49:23,720
and not needing to use the rope
is what helped you on the course.

1139
00:49:23,760 --> 00:49:24,920
But you're through.

1140
00:49:24,960 --> 00:49:27,840
Great race, guys, we loved that,
congratulations.

1141
00:49:27,880 --> 00:49:32,360
Ben Polson through to the next round
of the Spring Forward Face-Off.

1142
00:49:33,640 --> 00:49:36,440
OK, well, that's our Round 1 decided

1143
00:49:36,480 --> 00:49:39,440
with just four ninjas
left in contention

1144
00:49:39,480 --> 00:49:40,680
and, after the break,

1145
00:49:40,720 --> 00:49:43,640
it's Round 2 when Ashlin Herbert
meets Ben Polson.

1146
00:49:43,680 --> 00:49:47,800
And then Mat Hutchins-Read
takes on Dan Mason.

1147
00:49:47,840 --> 00:49:49,560
Who will pocket the $15,000?

1148
00:49:49,600 --> 00:49:50,800
Find out next.

1149
00:49:50,840 --> 00:49:52,960
More Australian Ninja Warrior
Record Breakers

1150
00:49:53,000 --> 00:49:55,240
is coming your way right after this.

1151
00:49:58,520 --> 00:50:01,960
Still to come,
an incredible new obstacle

1152
00:50:02,000 --> 00:50:06,720
that allows the ninjas to put on
a show as they hit the pool.

1153
00:50:06,760 --> 00:50:08,080
No!
Oh!

1154
00:50:08,120 --> 00:50:11,440
And will the ninjas witness
the highest Warped Wall

1155
00:50:11,480 --> 00:50:13,600
the world has ever seen?

1156
00:50:24,760 --> 00:50:28,440
Welcome back to Australian
Ninja Warrior Record Breakers

1157
00:50:28,480 --> 00:50:31,880
and we are midway through the
Spring Forward Face-Off showdown.

1158
00:50:32,600 --> 00:50:36,160
Before the break, four Ninja
grand finalists went head to head

1159
00:50:36,200 --> 00:50:38,960
in a knockout competition
with a hand-picked opponent.

1160
00:50:39,000 --> 00:50:41,160
Jake Baker splashed out
in his Face-Off

1161
00:50:41,200 --> 00:50:43,200
against Ashlin 'Flashlin' Herbert.

1162
00:50:43,240 --> 00:50:46,000
Judith Carroll was knocked out
of the competition

1163
00:50:46,040 --> 00:50:48,520
by her ninja boyfriend,
Mat Hutchins-Read.

1164
00:50:48,560 --> 00:50:50,800
Daniel Watermann's
signature gibbon swing

1165
00:50:50,840 --> 00:50:53,360
failed to get him to
the finish line first,

1166
00:50:53,400 --> 00:50:56,160
with Barefoot Ninja Dan Mason
beating him to the buzzer.

1167
00:50:56,200 --> 00:51:00,760
And it was such a tight race
but Ben Polson settled the score

1168
00:51:00,800 --> 00:51:03,240
against his protege,
Saxon Johnstone.

1169
00:51:04,000 --> 00:51:08,240
These are the four ninjas still
in with a shot at the $15,000

1170
00:51:08,280 --> 00:51:12,920
and no surprises at the number-one
spot, Flashlin Ashlin Herbert.

1171
00:51:12,960 --> 00:51:17,920
The ninja that wins the final round
takes home the cash.

1172
00:51:17,960 --> 00:51:20,280
We now move onto Round 2
and our first match-up.

1173
00:51:20,320 --> 00:51:24,400
It's Flashlin Ashlin Herbert
taking on Benny Polson.

1174
00:51:25,360 --> 00:51:29,640
Two genuine Ninja legends here.
This couldn't be a better match-up.

1175
00:51:30,480 --> 00:51:31,720
Wow.

1176
00:51:31,760 --> 00:51:33,840
You can hear a pin drop out here.

1177
00:51:33,880 --> 00:51:35,120
Suspense.

1178
00:51:35,160 --> 00:51:36,640
And here we go.
(BUZZER DINGS)

1179
00:51:36,680 --> 00:51:38,600
They're off.
Alright, here we go.

1180
00:51:38,640 --> 00:51:39,680
It's speed versus reach.

1181
00:51:39,720 --> 00:51:42,040
Ash has the flash,
Ben has the pulse.

1182
00:51:42,080 --> 00:51:43,360
Oh, wow, they are neck and neck.

1183
00:51:43,400 --> 00:51:44,920
This section is all about flow.

1184
00:51:44,960 --> 00:51:47,200
Ben's ahead but here comes
Flashlin Ashlin.

1185
00:51:47,240 --> 00:51:48,720
Go, Benny!

1186
00:51:48,760 --> 00:51:51,840
Oh, he just puts on the accelerator.
Bloody oath.

1187
00:51:51,880 --> 00:51:53,720
Coming into the turn, Ben nails it.

1188
00:51:53,760 --> 00:51:54,920
He won with a come-behind before.

1189
00:51:54,960 --> 00:51:56,280
Can he do it again?

1190
00:51:56,320 --> 00:51:59,320
Oh, look at the wingspan
coming into play.

1191
00:51:59,360 --> 00:52:01,240
Ben Polson!
Oh, he's missed it!

1192
00:52:01,280 --> 00:52:03,680
And Ashlin comes home
with the chockies.

1193
00:52:03,720 --> 00:52:04,880
Oh!

1194
00:52:04,920 --> 00:52:09,840
Australia's Ninja Warrior
is in the drink.

1195
00:52:09,880 --> 00:52:12,040
Wow. What a great race.

1196
00:52:12,080 --> 00:52:15,640
Ashlin, that was about as fast
as I've seen you go, mate.

1197
00:52:15,680 --> 00:52:18,280
Is that gonna be enough
to win this, 15,000 bucks?

1198
00:52:18,320 --> 00:52:20,600
Yeah, look, I'm hopin' so,
hopin' so.

1199
00:52:20,640 --> 00:52:24,040
I think he's pretty confident,
Flashlin Ashlin Herbert.

1200
00:52:24,080 --> 00:52:25,360
He's just beaten Ben Polson.

1201
00:52:25,400 --> 00:52:28,440
You are through to the final
of the Spring Forward Face-Off.

1202
00:52:30,960 --> 00:52:32,840
And our final match-up for Round 2

1203
00:52:32,880 --> 00:52:37,560
has Mat Hutchins-Read going
head to head with Dan Mason.

1204
00:52:37,600 --> 00:52:39,440
What a competition this is gonna be.

1205
00:52:39,480 --> 00:52:41,360
Gee, Judith will be annoyed
if Mat loses here.

1206
00:52:41,400 --> 00:52:42,880
Come on, Mat.

Here we go.

1209
00:52:48,000 --> 00:52:49,360
Leaping into it.

1210
00:52:49,400 --> 00:52:52,640
Ooh, jeez, they flew up there
like spider monkeys.

1211
00:52:52,680 --> 00:52:55,120
Didn't they? Ooh, look at Mat.

1212
00:52:56,240 --> 00:52:57,680
What has Matty done?

1213
00:52:57,720 --> 00:52:59,120
He did a 360.

1214
00:52:59,160 --> 00:53:02,200
He's gone for this laconic gibbon
swing and it's caught him out

1215
00:53:02,240 --> 00:53:05,040
'cause he knew Dan Mason would
be quick and, jeez, is he quick.

1216
00:53:05,080 --> 00:53:10,000
He did a 360 but look at the
Barefoot Ninja fly, look at him go.

1217
00:53:10,040 --> 00:53:11,680
Wow!
Wow!

1218
00:53:11,720 --> 00:53:14,080
What a speed demon.
Wow!

1219
00:53:14,120 --> 00:53:15,760
What a show!

1220
00:53:15,800 --> 00:53:19,120
Unbelievable, Mat Hutchins-Read
showing some amazing speed

1221
00:53:19,160 --> 00:53:22,360
but it's not enough to beat
the Barefoot Ninja.

1222
00:53:22,400 --> 00:53:23,680
Nuh, he's nowhere near it.

1223
00:53:23,720 --> 00:53:27,080
Dan Mason's time
two seconds slower than Ashlin.

1224
00:53:29,000 --> 00:53:31,040
What a race and you know
what that means -

1225
00:53:31,080 --> 00:53:34,600
Dan Mason is going up against
Ashlin 'Flashlin' Herbert

1226
00:53:34,640 --> 00:53:37,680
in the final of the
Spring Forward Face-Off.

1227
00:53:38,760 --> 00:53:41,120
They've been rivals
for six years now

1228
00:53:41,160 --> 00:53:42,760
and Ashlin's always come out on top.

1229
00:53:42,800 --> 00:53:46,040
Ashlin knocked Dan
out of the semis this season,

1230
00:53:46,080 --> 00:53:48,160
stripping him of a spot
in the Grand Finals.

but Ashlin Herbert just leaped out
and hit the buzzer.

1238
00:54:03,160 --> 00:54:07,160
Now it's deja vu and it's down
to the same two ninjas.

1239

Could this be Dan's time to shine?

1240
00:54:11,440 --> 00:54:15,640
Alright, so it is the final
of the Spring Forward Face-Off.

1241
00:54:15,680 --> 00:54:17,320
Two great mates.

1242
00:54:17,360 --> 00:54:19,600
This is the match we wanted
to see from the start, Leila.

1243

These guys are both the quickest
at this by far.

Yeah, this is gonna be quick.

1245
00:54:24,400 --> 00:54:27,320
These two both want it bad,
so here we go,

1246
00:54:27,360 --> 00:54:31,160
it's Flashlin Ashlin Herbert
and Dan Mason, the Barefoot Ninja.

been the best.

It is and it all rides on this.

1254

I hear the Barefoot Ninja might
buy himself some shoes if he wins.

on the buzzer first?

00:58:51,000 --> 00:58:52,880
I'm looking for control, actually.
Ah!

1349
00:58:52,920 --> 00:58:55,400
Who can land their trick?
That's important to me.

1350
00:58:55,440 --> 00:58:56,520
Interesting.

1351
00:58:56,560 --> 00:58:58,440
Well, I've seen some
amazing things tonight

1352
00:58:58,480 --> 00:59:01,000
so I'm looking for something
that just takes my breath away,

1353
00:59:01,040 --> 00:59:03,480
the wow, the wow factor,
I think they call it.

1354
00:59:03,520 --> 00:59:04,520
How about you, Woody?

1355
00:59:04,560 --> 00:59:07,720
I'm looking for abs,
so, Jordan, you're my man, baby.

1356
00:59:07,760 --> 00:59:09,440
(LAUGHTER)

1357
00:59:09,480 --> 00:59:12,080
Sorry, Ashlin, sorry.
Look, Ashlin's outraged.

1358
00:59:12,120 --> 00:59:15,120
There's plenty of abs
going around here.

1359
00:59:15,160 --> 00:59:17,560
Alright, who is ready to get going?

1360
00:59:17,600 --> 00:59:18,760
Yeah!

1361
00:59:18,800 --> 00:59:20,840
OK.

1362
00:59:20,880 --> 00:59:24,440
Our first competitor
is Jordan Papandrea.

1363
00:59:24,480 --> 00:59:27,720
He's been a competitive gymnast
for over 20 years,

1364
00:59:27,760 --> 00:59:30,560
known for putting on a show
as he splashes out.

1365
00:59:30,600 --> 00:59:33,640
Last year at Record Breakers,
I was doing the Sonic Shelf Grab,

1366
00:59:33,680 --> 00:59:35,440
did a double layout
flat onto my back,

1367
00:59:35,480 --> 00:59:38,240
and my back's never been so sore
and red in my life.

1368
00:59:38,280 --> 00:59:41,080
I am gonna put a little more style
and finesse in it this year

1369
00:59:41,120 --> 00:59:44,320
and purposefully land in the water,
hopefully taking out that 15 grand.

1370
00:59:47,640 --> 00:59:49,200
Have a look at the abs on him.

1371
00:59:49,240 --> 00:59:50,840
Here we go.

1372
00:59:50,880 --> 00:59:52,920
Gettin' the clap going.

1373
00:59:52,960 --> 00:59:54,440
Here we go, Jordan.
Here we go.

1374
00:59:54,480 --> 00:59:55,800
Let's see what you got.

1375
00:59:55,840 --> 00:59:58,680
(RHYTHMIC CLAPPING)

1376
00:59:58,720 --> 00:59:59,960
Alright.

1377
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:01,400
Come on, Jordy.

1378
01:00:04,240 --> 01:00:05,840
Oh, my...!

1379
01:00:05,880 --> 01:00:06,960
(CHEERING)

1380
01:00:07,000 --> 01:00:08,640
Whoa!
(LAUGHTER)

1381
01:00:08,680 --> 01:00:10,240
What a start!

1382
01:00:10,280 --> 01:00:11,760
Gee whiz!
Wow!

1383
01:00:11,800 --> 01:00:13,280
Amazing!

1384
01:00:13,320 --> 01:00:14,880
Was that, like,
some old belly whacker...?

1385
01:00:14,920 --> 01:00:17,520
Yeah, massive belly whacker.
Huge belly whacker.

1386
01:00:17,560 --> 01:00:19,440
I appreciate the belly whacker.

1387
01:00:19,480 --> 01:00:20,680
It's gonna cost him.

1388
01:00:20,720 --> 01:00:22,760
It's gonna cost him,
as far as I'm concerned.

1389
01:00:23,520 --> 01:00:24,720
Come on, show me the money.

1390
01:00:24,760 --> 01:00:28,440
OK, we're all scoring on
different things, by the way.

1391
01:00:28,480 --> 01:00:31,280
OK, three, two, one,
show your scores.

1392
01:00:32,280 --> 01:00:33,440
Oh!

1393
01:00:33,480 --> 01:00:35,560
What?
Will!

1394
01:00:35,600 --> 01:00:37,280
So, Woody's given a seven.
Alright, alright.

1395
01:00:37,320 --> 01:00:39,280
Oh, harsh!
That's brutal, Will!

1396
01:00:39,320 --> 01:00:42,000
No, because I said
I was about control tonight.

1397
01:00:42,040 --> 01:00:43,360
It was a belly whacker at the end

1398
01:00:43,400 --> 01:00:45,920
so he was great in the air but
it's all about the landing for me.

1399
01:00:45,960 --> 01:00:47,760
I think that showed off
the strength of his abs.

1400
01:00:47,800 --> 01:00:50,080
He was just willing to cop the abs
on the landing there.

1401
01:00:50,120 --> 01:00:51,480
That was deliberate,
wasn't it, Jordan?

1402
01:00:51,520 --> 01:00:53,200
Completely deliberate, mate.

1403
01:00:53,240 --> 01:00:57,400
And I gave you nine
because that was spectacular!

1404
01:00:57,440 --> 01:01:01,640
And so that's a score of
20 out of 30 for your first go.

1405
01:01:03,000 --> 01:01:04,760
Well done, Jordan Papandrea.

1406
01:01:06,680 --> 01:01:09,720
OK, next up to take on the
Big Dipper Freestyle Challenge

1407
01:01:09,760 --> 01:01:12,360
is Bryson Klein!

1408
01:01:13,200 --> 01:01:15,480
The competition's gonna be
very, very tough tonight.

1409
01:01:15,520 --> 01:01:19,200
Two of them were international
competitive gymnasts

1410
01:01:19,240 --> 01:01:22,640
and I did a little bit of circus
in high school,

1411
01:01:22,680 --> 01:01:27,320
so I'm really hoping that
my creativity will be enough

1412
01:01:27,360 --> 01:01:31,360
to trump the other competitors
and really impress the judges.

1413
01:01:31,400 --> 01:01:34,040
Yeah, bit of an outfit change
from Bryson Klein.

1414
01:01:34,080 --> 01:01:35,360
What is that, khaki?

1415
01:01:35,400 --> 01:01:37,960
I think I know where
he's going with that.

1416
01:01:38,000 --> 01:01:40,720
He's got a little friend up there.
There's a crocodile.

1417
01:01:40,760 --> 01:01:42,520
He's going for the Steve Irwin bit.

1418
01:01:42,560 --> 01:01:43,920
Oh, my god!

1419
01:01:43,960 --> 01:01:45,520
(LAUGHTER)

1420
01:01:46,680 --> 01:01:47,800
He's sneaking up on 'em.

1421
01:01:48,480 --> 01:01:50,800
Oh, he's got 'em, he's got 'em!

1422
01:01:50,840 --> 01:01:52,640
(LAUGHTER)

1423
01:01:54,200 --> 01:01:56,320
I'm gonna relocate this baby.
(LAUGHTER)

1424
01:01:56,360 --> 01:01:57,760
You beautiful specimen.

1425
01:01:57,800 --> 01:02:00,520
I'm gonna get it back in saltwater.

1426
01:02:00,560 --> 01:02:01,680
(LAUGHTER)

1427
01:02:02,320 --> 01:02:03,960
There's only one way to do it.

1428
01:02:04,000 --> 01:02:06,960
He's riding the crocodile,
this is wild.

1429
01:02:07,000 --> 01:02:08,760
Here we go.

1430
01:02:08,800 --> 01:02:10,200
Oh!
Oh!

1431
01:02:10,240 --> 01:02:11,440
(CHEERING)

1432
01:02:11,480 --> 01:02:14,120
Whoa!
How was that landing?

1433
01:02:14,160 --> 01:02:16,360
Perfect landing!
How was that landing?

1434
01:02:16,400 --> 01:02:17,560
Wowee!

1435
01:02:17,600 --> 01:02:19,720
He's still wrestling it,
he's still wrestling.

1436
01:02:19,760 --> 01:02:21,000
Great performance.

1437
01:02:21,040 --> 01:02:22,600
Extraordinary!

1438
01:02:23,680 --> 01:02:26,760
OK, Bryson Klein, crocodile hunter.

1439
01:02:26,800 --> 01:02:29,240
Are you ready for the score?
Oh, I'm so ready.

1440
01:02:29,280 --> 01:02:33,360
Bryson, you know that I'm all about
control and landing,

1441
01:02:33,400 --> 01:02:37,440
and that crocodile
was flat on the water,

1442
01:02:37,480 --> 01:02:39,440
you absolutely blitzed it, mate,

1443
01:02:39,480 --> 01:02:41,680
congratulations,
you got a nine from me.

1444
01:02:41,720 --> 01:02:43,280
Whoo!
Wowee!

1445
01:02:44,200 --> 01:02:48,040
OK, for the fun, for the acting
and for the landing,

1446
01:02:48,080 --> 01:02:49,360
eight out of ten.

1447
01:02:49,400 --> 01:02:51,120
Wow!
Wow.

1448
01:02:51,160 --> 01:02:54,320
Now, Bryson, you know
that I was looking for abs

1449
01:02:54,360 --> 01:02:57,120
at the start of this competition
so it was very sad to...

1450
01:02:57,160 --> 01:03:00,240
Wowee! Wowee!
(LAUGHTER)

1451
01:03:00,280 --> 01:03:01,960
That changes everything!
Oh, no...

1452
01:03:02,000 --> 01:03:03,360
I'm gonna give him a nine!

1453
01:03:03,400 --> 01:03:05,120
Oh!
(LAUGHTER)

1454
01:03:05,160 --> 01:03:08,120
Bryson, we're gonna
give you 26 out of 30.

1455
01:03:08,160 --> 01:03:09,400
Congratulations.
Whoo!

1456
01:03:10,880 --> 01:03:15,000
Alright, so we just saw Bryson Klein
bring the theatre.

1457
01:03:15,040 --> 01:03:17,280
Hard to know whether our next ninja
is following suit

1458
01:03:17,320 --> 01:03:19,840
or whether he's just
hitting the showers early.

1459
01:03:19,880 --> 01:03:23,600
Everybody, give it up for
Flashlin Ashlin Herbert.

1460
01:03:23,640 --> 01:03:27,120
Ashlin competed in gymnastics
for over ten years

1461
01:03:27,160 --> 01:03:29,560
and he is no stranger
to the Big Dipper,

1462
01:03:29,600 --> 01:03:32,960
having gone on a ride down it
in his semi-final this season.

1463
01:03:33,000 --> 01:03:37,240
Let's see if his combined experience
is enough to wow the judges.

1464
01:03:37,280 --> 01:03:40,120
(CHEERING)

1465
01:03:40,160 --> 01:03:42,120
I'm expecting something big here.
What are you thinking?

1466
01:03:42,160 --> 01:03:43,720
Lots of flips.

1467
01:03:44,960 --> 01:03:47,320
Here we go, he's up.

1468
01:03:47,360 --> 01:03:49,400
Oh!
Ooh.

1469
01:03:49,440 --> 01:03:50,880
Hmm.
Not bad.

1470
01:03:50,920 --> 01:03:52,320
Very nice.

1471
01:03:52,360 --> 01:03:53,880
What did he actually do there?
(GIGGLES)

1472
01:03:53,920 --> 01:03:56,920
I think he just went for a glorified
pin-drop in the end, wasn't it?

1473
01:03:56,960 --> 01:03:59,360
OK, Ashlin, it's score time.

1474
01:03:59,400 --> 01:04:01,000
Three, two, one.

1475
01:04:02,080 --> 01:04:03,760
(CHEERING)

1476
01:04:03,800 --> 01:04:05,600
(MOCK JEERS)

1477
01:04:07,040 --> 01:04:09,120
Alright, Ash, now, I gave you a six

1478
01:04:09,160 --> 01:04:11,960
because you know I'm all about
the dismount here and the landing.

1479
01:04:12,000 --> 01:04:13,600
Just a bit of over-rotation
on the entry.

1480
01:04:13,640 --> 01:04:16,920
Yeah, I like the theatre but
I feel like Bryson got you there.

1481
01:04:16,960 --> 01:04:19,320
I like the moves but I feel like
Jordan got you there.

1482
01:04:19,360 --> 01:04:21,200
But a solid seven from me.

1483
01:04:21,240 --> 01:04:22,600
Oh, thank you.

1484
01:04:22,640 --> 01:04:24,960
And, again, yeah,
Jordan has you for the abs

1485
01:04:25,000 --> 01:04:28,400
so that lowered you down a little
bit, so I've given you a five.

1486
01:04:28,440 --> 01:04:32,760
Alright, Ashlin, that's 18 out of 30
for your first jump.

1487
01:04:32,800 --> 01:04:34,040
Great stuff.

1488
01:04:34,080 --> 01:04:35,800
Alright, let's bring in
our last ninja

1489
01:04:35,840 --> 01:04:41,480
in the Big Dipper Freestyle
Challenge and it is Olivia Vivian!

1490
01:04:42,680 --> 01:04:46,840
The queen of Ninja, she represented
Australia in artistic gymnastics

1491
01:04:46,880 --> 01:04:52,000
at the 2008 Beijing Olympics
and tonight she's going for gold.

1492
01:04:52,040 --> 01:04:55,680
Oh, and look at this move,
the scissor kick

1493
01:04:55,720 --> 01:04:59,240
and the signature backward flip
straight up that wall.

1494
01:04:59,280 --> 01:05:00,800
She's got it!

1495
01:05:00,840 --> 01:05:02,920
Tonight, I've got some tricks
up my sleeve

1496
01:05:02,960 --> 01:05:04,960
and I'm just hoping
I can pull it off.

1497
01:05:05,920 --> 01:05:08,120
(CHEERING)

1498
01:05:08,160 --> 01:05:11,680
I've heard rumours
of a costume change.

1499
01:05:11,720 --> 01:05:13,440
Oh, wow, OK.

1500
01:05:13,480 --> 01:05:15,880
She's wearing a sleeping mask.

1501
01:05:15,920 --> 01:05:17,080
She's got a coffee, as well.

1502
01:05:17,120 --> 01:05:21,040
Oh, yeah, she's just woken up,
she's got a coffee.

1503
01:05:22,240 --> 01:05:25,040
So, it's a bit of a morning routine.
Is that what I'm picking up?

1504
01:05:25,080 --> 01:05:26,680
Wow, she's thrown down the coffee.
Oh, yes!

1505
01:05:26,720 --> 01:05:28,000
She's thrown the coffee away.

1506
01:05:28,040 --> 01:05:30,880
Oh, she's sound asleep,
she's sleepwalking!

1507
01:05:30,920 --> 01:05:33,280
She's sleepwalking onto the
Big Dipper Freestyle Challenge.

1508
01:05:33,320 --> 01:05:34,640
Oh, no!

1509
01:05:34,680 --> 01:05:36,120
Oh!

1510
01:05:36,160 --> 01:05:38,320
Ooh!
She got caned!

1511
01:05:38,360 --> 01:05:41,640
The faceplant, ow!
Ooh!

1512
01:05:42,520 --> 01:05:45,000
Oh, she left the costume behind.

1513
01:05:45,040 --> 01:05:47,120
How about the robe coming off?

1514
01:05:47,160 --> 01:05:48,480
That was pretty special.

1515
01:05:48,520 --> 01:05:50,880
That was amazing!

I love Will, Woody and Leila! Oh!
Hey!

1517
01:05:54,040 --> 01:05:56,400
Oh, we're gonna fall for that,
for sure.

1518
01:05:56,440 --> 01:05:59,800
OK, Olivia, it is time
for your score.

1519
01:05:59,840 --> 01:06:02,920
Three, two, one.

1520
01:06:03,960 --> 01:06:05,800

to fall for the T-shirt saying

1522
01:06:08,280 --> 01:06:10,680
you love me, you are absolutely
correct, it's an eight from me.

1524
01:06:12,280 --> 01:06:15,080
I'm also cheap like Leila.

1525
01:06:15,120 --> 01:06:17,600
I love the T-shirt,
so I gave you a nine, Olivia.

1526
01:06:17,640 --> 01:06:21,400
Bravo.
22 out of 30, Olivia Vivian.

1527

OK, all our ninjas
have done their first jump

1528
01:06:24,560 --> 01:06:26,720
on the Big Dipper
Freestyle Challenge.

1529
01:06:26,760 --> 01:06:30,160
Let's have a quick look at the
leaderboard and see where they sit.

1530
01:06:30,200 --> 01:06:35,040
Alright, so, Bryson Klein
leads the pack - 26 out of 30.

1531
01:06:35,080 --> 01:06:37,720
He's clearly in front
but still anyone's game.

1532
01:06:37,760 --> 01:06:39,040
One jump to go.

1533
01:06:39,080 --> 01:06:43,040
Can he hold the lead
and win the $15,000?

1534
01:06:43,080 --> 01:06:46,840
Let's see how they go with their
second jump right after the break.

1535
01:06:47,840 --> 01:06:53,360
Plus, last season, our ninjas broke
the world record on the Warped Wall.

1536
01:06:53,400 --> 01:06:55,120
Can they break it again?

1537
01:06:55,160 --> 01:06:58,120
If it's gotta go down, if someone's
gotta get that six metres,

1538
01:06:58,160 --> 01:06:59,440
I'm ready, I want it.

Oh, a gymnast thing.
It's a gymnast thing, yeah.

He's a competitive gymnast, Jordan.

He competed nationally and
internationally for over 20 years

and you know where it is.

1567

Yeah. I'll respect that.
Thank you very much.

Oh well, look, mate, I'm all about
the dismount and the landing.

1570
01:08:35,280 --> 01:08:37,440
A little bit more over rotation
again this time

1571
01:08:37,480 --> 01:08:40,800
but certainly up from last time
so that's why I'm a six.

1572
01:08:40,840 --> 01:08:42,760
Well, for me I'm all about
the body, Jordan,

1573
01:08:42,800 --> 01:08:43,960
as I said earlier,

1574
01:08:44,000 --> 01:08:46,520
and you've covered your biceps
with some floaties.

1575
01:08:46,560 --> 01:08:47,920
(LAUGHTER)

1576
01:08:47,960 --> 01:08:49,640
Which has just docked you
a few points.

1577
01:08:49,680 --> 01:08:51,880
We can change that.
Don't you take those floaties off.

1578
01:08:52,960 --> 01:08:54,400
Alright, that's 21/30, Jordan.

1579
01:08:54,440 --> 01:08:57,680
That gives you a combined score
of 41/60.

Oh, look at the flex.

01:09:12,600 --> 01:09:14,400
He's trying to work the points there
with you, Woods.

1586
01:09:14,440 --> 01:09:15,920
That was for me and it was noted.

1587
01:09:15,960 --> 01:09:17,880
He was our leader after round one.

1588
01:09:17,920 --> 01:09:19,760
Show me a bit of triceps,
that's nice.

1589
01:09:19,800 --> 01:09:21,920
Oh, what's he doing?
Going backwards?

1590
01:09:21,960 --> 01:09:23,400
Oh, he's going backwards.

1591
01:09:23,440 --> 01:09:25,240
Oh, wow, that wasn't a triceps show.

1592
01:09:25,280 --> 01:09:28,200
Wow, this is good for Leila.
This is showmanship, this is flair.

1593
01:09:28,240 --> 01:09:29,480
That's what she's after.

1594
01:09:29,520 --> 01:09:30,680
Can he nail the landing?

1595
01:09:30,720 --> 01:09:32,640
That is insane at this height.

1596
01:09:32,680 --> 01:09:34,560

So Bryson, that gives you 24/30

01:10:01,800 --> 01:10:04,200
which is a total
of 50 points out of 60.

01:10:05,520 --> 01:10:06,880
Ooh.

1609
01:10:07,680 --> 01:10:09,120
He's in the front for now

1610
01:10:09,160 --> 01:10:10,520
but can he keep it?

1611
01:10:10,560 --> 01:10:14,200

1613
01:10:15,840 --> 01:10:17,400
So, apparently his last trick was

1614
01:10:17,440 --> 01:10:20,640
actually quite difficult
which none of us realised.

1615
01:10:20,680 --> 01:10:23,160
The judges aren't that clever
really, are they?

1616
01:10:23,200 --> 01:10:24,480
No.
(LAUGHTER)

1617
01:10:24,520 --> 01:10:27,360
Now, he's going to need at least
32 points to tie with Bryson

1618
01:10:27,400 --> 01:10:30,520
which is gonna be tricky given
that we've got a max of 30.

1619
01:10:30,560 --> 01:10:32,640
He's playing for pride.

1620
01:10:32,680 --> 01:10:33,760
So, what's he got?

1621
01:10:33,800 --> 01:10:35,480
This time he'll play to us
a bit more, I think.

1622
01:10:35,520 --> 01:10:36,760
Here we go.

1623
01:10:38,680 --> 01:10:40,000

01:10:40,040 --> 01:10:43,080
That was a good landing.
Fun flip. Great landing.

1625
01:10:43,120 --> 01:10:45,440
I like that it got to
his side there. That's hard.

1626
01:10:45,480 --> 01:10:46,480
Yeah.

1627
01:10:46,520 --> 01:10:48,160
And nearly the edge
of the pool.

1628
01:10:48,200 --> 01:10:49,520

So that's 26/30 and a total of 44/60

01:11:03,680 --> 01:11:06,480
which puts you in second place

1635
01:11:06,520 --> 01:11:07,640
Well done, Ashlin.

1636
01:11:07,680 --> 01:11:09,240
Terrific second jump, mate.

1637
01:11:12,200 --> 01:11:15,440
OK. The final jump for the

01:11:15,480 --> 01:11:17,600
the only woman in the event.

1639
01:11:17,640 --> 01:11:23,000
Guys, if she scores 28,
she ties with Bryson Klein.

1640
01:11:23,040 --> 01:11:28,200
Obviously if she scores 29 she wins
and takes home $15,000 to herself.

for everyone, 28 points to tie,

1653
01:12:06,240 --> 01:12:07,680
29 points to win.

last score here but here we are.

splits down here was extraordinary.

1669
01:12:51,320 --> 01:12:53,640
It was different,
we've never seen it before.

1670
01:12:53,680 --> 01:12:55,920
I had a score in my mind...

the Australian and world record?

1685
01:13:49,160 --> 01:13:54,240
Stay with us because we're about
to see our ninjas defy gravity.

1686
01:13:54,280 --> 01:13:55,720
Unbelievable!

1687
01:14:02,720 --> 01:14:05,560
(THEME MUSIC)

1688
01:14:05,600 --> 01:14:07,280
LEILA: Welcome back to
Australian Ninja Warrior

1689
01:14:07,320 --> 01:14:08,840
Record Breakers

1690
01:14:08,880 --> 01:14:12,200
where it is now time
for the final obstacle of the night.

1691
01:14:12,240 --> 01:14:15,800
It's the moment
we've all been waiting for.

1692
01:14:15,840 --> 01:14:18,440
It's the Rising Mega Warped Wall.

1693
01:14:18,480 --> 01:14:22,600
So, strap yourselves in 'cause
this one's gonna be huge.

1694
01:14:22,640 --> 01:14:26,720
Now, last year we started
the proceedings at 4.8m

1695
01:14:26,760 --> 01:14:30,160
and kept raising it until
it came down to just two ninjas.

1696
01:14:30,200 --> 01:14:32,520
ALL (CHANTING):
Raise it up! Raise it up!

1697
01:14:32,560 --> 01:14:34,560
Ben Polson and Josh O'Sullivan,

1698
01:14:34,600 --> 01:14:38,880
they took it in at
an astonishing 5.8m

1699
01:14:38,920 --> 01:14:43,360
which beat the previous world
record held by the US, by just 1cm.

1700
01:14:43,400 --> 01:14:45,440
Josh O'Sullivan!

1701
01:14:46,840 --> 01:14:48,840
It's a new world record!

1702
01:14:51,720 --> 01:14:54,240
Oh! What is going on?

1703
01:14:54,280 --> 01:14:56,480
We've got another one.

1704
01:14:56,520 --> 01:14:57,800
LEILA: It is mind-blowing that

1705
01:14:57,840 --> 01:15:01,240
Australia holds the world record
for this event

1706
01:15:01,280 --> 01:15:04,120
and our ninjas
are here to break it again.

1707
01:15:04,160 --> 01:15:08,360
Unfortunately Josh is injured so he
won't be able to defend his title.

1708
01:15:08,400 --> 01:15:10,280
But Ben Polson will be keen

1709
01:15:10,320 --> 01:15:13,000
to hold off the
other three ninja challengers.

1710
01:15:13,880 --> 01:15:15,320
Now, you're simply not going to

1711
01:15:15,360 --> 01:15:17,520
believe how high
some of these ninjas can go.

1712
01:15:17,560 --> 01:15:19,880
I mean, they are like human eagles.

1713
01:15:19,920 --> 01:15:23,000
And right now we've got
four Warped Wall specialists

1714
01:15:23,040 --> 01:15:27,120
ready to soar and add their names
to the record books.

1715
01:15:27,160 --> 01:15:30,760
Taking on the Rising Mega Warped
Wall we've got Bryson Klein,

1716
01:15:30,800 --> 01:15:32,200
we've got Steve Manassah,

1717
01:15:32,240 --> 01:15:34,200
world record holder Ben Polson,

1718
01:15:34,240 --> 01:15:36,320
and of course Sam Goodall.

1719
01:15:36,360 --> 01:15:39,000
Now, Benny, you're the current
world record holder.

1720
01:15:39,040 --> 01:15:40,840
Whoo!
Are we going higher this year?

1721
01:15:40,880 --> 01:15:42,840
Ahh, well, if it's not gonna be me
it will be one of these boys.

1722
01:15:42,880 --> 01:15:44,120
But it's happening tonight.

1723
01:15:44,160 --> 01:15:46,480
'Cause you currently share the world
record with Josh O'Sullivan.

1724
01:15:46,520 --> 01:15:47,800
Surely you want it for yourself,
mate.

1725
01:15:47,840 --> 01:15:50,480
Oh, yeah, I am a little bit greedy
when it comes to warped walls

1726
01:15:50,520 --> 01:15:53,160
but these are some good athletes
as we saw Josh last year

1727
01:15:53,200 --> 01:15:54,640
so anything can happen.

1728
01:15:54,680 --> 01:15:57,080
Yeah, well, speaking of good
athletes, Steve Manassah,

1729
01:15:57,120 --> 01:15:58,480
I've heard a rumour

1730
01:15:58,520 --> 01:16:01,960
that you work out at Sam Goodall's
ninja gym in Albany.

1731
01:16:02,000 --> 01:16:03,000
Yeah.

1732
01:16:03,040 --> 01:16:05,680
And you're hitting your head on top
of the warped wall. Is that true?

1733
01:16:05,720 --> 01:16:08,480
The roof with my hands and then
coming back down on the warp wall

1734
01:16:08,520 --> 01:16:12,240
so, yeah, it's a fair effort and
yeah, see what we can do tonight.

1735
01:16:12,280 --> 01:16:13,960
And Sammy, he works for you as well.

1736
01:16:14,000 --> 01:16:15,720
Does he get fired
if he beats you today?

1737
01:16:15,760 --> 01:16:17,240
Oh, he's actually my backup plan

1738
01:16:17,280 --> 01:16:19,760
'cause if this goes horribly wrong
for me, and it could,

1739
01:16:19,800 --> 01:16:20,960
let's be honest,

1740
01:16:21,000 --> 01:16:22,800
but he's my backup plan
and he's a weapon.

1741
01:16:22,840 --> 01:16:24,120
So, yeah.
Yeah, right.

1742
01:16:24,160 --> 01:16:27,920
A very sexy weapon as well.
Gee whiz. I feel tiny next to you.

1743
01:16:27,960 --> 01:16:30,240
And Bryson Klein, mate, how are you
feeling about today?

1744
01:16:30,280 --> 01:16:31,840
Are you gonna steal the record?

1745
01:16:31,880 --> 01:16:34,040
Oh, I'm gonna give it
a world record effort.

1746
01:16:35,760 --> 01:16:38,360
Great answer, mate.
That is as cheesy as it comes.

1747
01:16:38,400 --> 01:16:41,840
Make some noise because
this is going to be massive.

1748
01:16:45,120 --> 01:16:46,320
LEILA: OK.

1749
01:16:46,360 --> 01:16:48,600
We're looking to set a new world
record for the Warped Wall.

1750
01:16:48,640 --> 01:16:52,240
The number to beat is 5.8m.

1751
01:16:52,280 --> 01:16:56,160
But we're going to let them
ease into it at 5.3m high.

1752
01:16:56,200 --> 01:17:01,480
To put things into perspective, the
Warped Wall this season was 4.35m.

1753
01:17:01,520 --> 01:17:03,200
So it's almost a metre higher.

1754
01:17:03,240 --> 01:17:06,160
Our ninjas will have one attempt
to reach the top

1755
01:17:06,200 --> 01:17:08,160
and if they fail, they're out.

1756
01:17:08,200 --> 01:17:10,240
And we're gonna keep raising it up

1757
01:17:10,280 --> 01:17:12,600
until our ninjas
can't reach any higher.

1758
01:17:14,280 --> 01:17:17,040
Let's start with Bryson Klein.

1759
01:17:19,640 --> 01:17:21,680
Bryson Klein is new
to Record Breakers.

1760
01:17:21,720 --> 01:17:23,920
He didn't compete
on the Warped Wall last year

1761
01:17:23,960 --> 01:17:28,320
but has proven time and time again
that he is a legend of the sport.

1762
01:17:29,240 --> 01:17:30,680
Back in Season Three

1763
01:17:30,720 --> 01:17:35,040
we saw Bryson bravely
take on the 5.2m Mega Warped Wall

1764
01:17:35,080 --> 01:17:37,600
for a chance to win five grand.

1765
01:17:37,640 --> 01:17:39,680
(CHEERING)
He's done it!

1766
01:17:39,720 --> 01:17:43,040
Bryson Klein's
up the Mega Warped Wall.

1767
01:17:44,040 --> 01:17:46,760
Yes! How good was that!

1768
01:17:46,800 --> 01:17:48,880
Going with the signature one arm
reach he was

1769
01:17:48,920 --> 01:17:53,000
the only one in his heat to make it
up the wall and take home the cash.

1770
01:17:53,040 --> 01:17:57,000
Bryson made the 5.2m Mega
Warped Wall on his first attempt.

1771
01:17:57,040 --> 01:17:59,520
This one's even higher.

1772
01:18:00,200 --> 01:18:01,960
Now, just a reminder that normally
you would get

1773
01:18:02,000 --> 01:18:04,200
three attempts at the Warped Wall

1774
01:18:04,240 --> 01:18:06,480
but in this event you only get one.

1775
01:18:06,520 --> 01:18:08,440
So, if you miss, you're out.

1776
01:18:08,480 --> 01:18:10,040
Oh, look at those breaths.

1777
01:18:10,720 --> 01:18:12,360
A lot of focus on Bryson Klein.

1778
01:18:12,400 --> 01:18:13,640
Here we go.

1779
01:18:13,680 --> 01:18:15,120
He's going for it!

1780
01:18:15,160 --> 01:18:16,240
(CHEERING)

1781
01:18:16,280 --> 01:18:18,480
He's up!

1782
01:18:18,520 --> 01:18:20,360
And a fist pump to the crowd.

1783
01:18:20,400 --> 01:18:23,080
The single juke.
How about the single juke.

1784
01:18:25,640 --> 01:18:27,360
Wow. What a great start.

1785
01:18:29,120 --> 01:18:32,440
Next, a ninja veteran who made
it to this year's grand final.

1786
01:18:32,480 --> 01:18:36,280
From WA, go wild for
the Tradie Ninja, Sam Goodall!

1787
01:18:36,320 --> 01:18:39,040
(CHEERING)

1788
01:18:39,080 --> 01:18:42,320
Last season in Record Breakers
I was third on the Warped Wall.

1789
01:18:42,360 --> 01:18:44,720
It was a wonderful night.
We broke the record.

1790
01:18:44,760 --> 01:18:46,160
We were all ecstatic about that.

1791
01:18:46,200 --> 01:18:47,720
But I'm here to go one better
this year.

1792
01:18:47,760 --> 01:18:49,720
I'm trying to keep up
with the big boys.

1793
01:18:49,760 --> 01:18:52,040
So, I have hit 5.8m at home
on my backyard warped wall.

1794
01:18:52,080 --> 01:18:54,600
I'm hoping to repeat that
here tonight.

1795
01:18:54,640 --> 01:18:56,840
I'm going to need every one off
their seats on the couch at home,

1796
01:18:56,880 --> 01:18:58,080
clapping and cheering for me.

1797
01:18:58,120 --> 01:19:00,320
Let's get Tradie Ninja to the top,
set a record,

1798
01:19:00,360 --> 01:19:01,840
and yeah, give me some money.

1799
01:19:02,920 --> 01:19:04,240
If they all trip over I'm going to

1800
01:19:04,280 --> 01:19:05,760
be there to take the prize
at the end.

1801
01:19:05,800 --> 01:19:08,280
I love this bloke.
He's such a nice guy.

1802
01:19:08,320 --> 01:19:10,120
One of the favourite ninjas
of Australia,

1803
01:19:10,160 --> 01:19:11,440
there's no doubt about it.

1804
01:19:11,480 --> 01:19:13,400
He made 5.3m last year, Leila,

1805
01:19:13,440 --> 01:19:16,000
but let's just remind you
and everybody else,

1806
01:19:16,040 --> 01:19:18,960
you only get one shot at this
so if you miss it, you're out.

1807
01:19:19,000 --> 01:19:20,480
Come on, Sammy!

1808
01:19:20,520 --> 01:19:22,280
Oh, the crowd wants this.

1809
01:19:22,320 --> 01:19:25,320
CROWD (CHANTING): Beat the wall!

1810
01:19:26,440 --> 01:19:28,120
Oh, he's had enough.

1811
01:19:30,880 --> 01:19:34,000
Oh! We're back.
(LAUGHTER)

1812
01:19:35,480 --> 01:19:36,880
Here we go.
Here he goes!

1813
01:19:38,520 --> 01:19:40,160
And he's up.
Oh!

1814
01:19:41,400 --> 01:19:44,080
He had it.
It was in his hands.

1815
01:19:44,120 --> 01:19:46,960
He was just there.

1816
01:19:47,000 --> 01:19:49,200
Oh, I've gotta say, I'm a bit
surprised with that, Leila.

1817
01:19:49,240 --> 01:19:51,360
He got 5.3 on Record Breakers
last year

1818
01:19:51,400 --> 01:19:54,280
so I thought this would have
been ready and made for him.

1819
01:19:54,320 --> 01:19:57,080
Sadly you only get one attempt
on the wall tonight.

1820
01:19:57,120 --> 01:20:01,320
That means Sam Goodall is no longer
in the running for the $15,000.

1821
01:20:02,960 --> 01:20:05,400
Alright. So, Leila,
facing the wall now is a ninja

1822
01:20:05,440 --> 01:20:08,760
who counts the Warped Wall
as his specialty obstacle.

1823
01:20:08,800 --> 01:20:10,480
He's a powerhouse.

1824
01:20:10,520 --> 01:20:13,720
From Albany in WA,
it's Steve Manassah.

1825
01:20:13,760 --> 01:20:15,480
Hitting the Warped Wall.

1826
01:20:15,520 --> 01:20:17,480
Steve's brand-new
to the competition.

1827
01:20:17,520 --> 01:20:20,720
He got to the semifinals
on his debut season

1828
01:20:20,760 --> 01:20:24,640
but had a shock exit in his
head-to-head against Zak Stolz.

1829
01:20:24,680 --> 01:20:25,880
What happened?

1830
01:20:25,920 --> 01:20:28,560
Hopefully we won't see a shock exit
from him here again tonight.

1831
01:20:29,840 --> 01:20:32,080
The Warped Wall
is right up my alley.

1832
01:20:32,120 --> 01:20:35,280
There's a Warped Wall which is 4.2m
down in Sam's gym in Albany

1833
01:20:35,320 --> 01:20:38,960
and currently I'm the only one
to go up there, touch the roof,

1834
01:20:39,000 --> 01:20:40,640
and then come back down
onto the wall.

1835
01:20:40,680 --> 01:20:42,160
I've definitely put the practice in.

1836
01:20:42,200 --> 01:20:44,600
Absolutely I'm gonna beat
the Wall tonight.

1837
01:20:44,640 --> 01:20:46,680
I've got exactly
what it needs to happen.

1838
01:20:46,720 --> 01:20:48,800
I'm gonna be looking
where I'm gonna go

1839
01:20:48,840 --> 01:20:50,440
and that's straight to the top
of the Wall.

1840
01:20:50,480 --> 01:20:53,040
I'm gonna top it out.
So, competitors, watch out.

1841
01:20:55,640 --> 01:20:57,720
He calls himself Stevil Kinevil

1842
01:20:57,760 --> 01:21:00,200
because he has that daredevil
sort of vibe about him.

1843
01:21:00,240 --> 01:21:03,680
The Warped Wall
is his number one obstacle.

1844
01:21:03,720 --> 01:21:05,080
That's his bag, absolutely.

1845
01:21:05,120 --> 01:21:06,800
So, he's never seen
a Wall like this.

1846
01:21:06,840 --> 01:21:08,400
Let see what he does.

1847
01:21:08,440 --> 01:21:10,440
Here we go. Stevil Kinevil.

1848
01:21:10,480 --> 01:21:11,960
Can you get to the heights
of Evel Knievel?

1849
01:21:14,440 --> 01:21:17,040
Oh.
He's there.

1850
01:21:17,080 --> 01:21:18,480
First time.
Wow.

1851
01:21:18,520 --> 01:21:20,480
Oh, look at that.
The flex.

1852
01:21:20,520 --> 01:21:24,280
And the gun show to go with it.
How about that.

1853
01:21:24,320 --> 01:21:25,520
I know. Wow.

1854
01:21:25,560 --> 01:21:26,880
That guy's a contender.

1855
01:21:26,920 --> 01:21:28,600
Stevil Kinevil.

1856
01:21:29,480 --> 01:21:32,000
Steve, first time up there, 5.3m.

1857
01:21:32,040 --> 01:21:35,280
How is 5.8m, the world
record looking like for you?

1858
01:21:35,320 --> 01:21:37,320
Ooh. I'll try.

1859
01:21:37,360 --> 01:21:39,000
Yeah, give it my best.

1860
01:21:39,040 --> 01:21:41,280
Sounds confident.
(CHEERING)

1861
01:21:43,120 --> 01:21:45,560
Oh, the gun show. Love the gun show.

1862
01:21:47,360 --> 01:21:52,360
Well, facing the Warped Wall now is
our current world record holder.

1863
01:21:52,400 --> 01:21:56,040
Last year he beat
the world record by 1cm.

1864
01:21:57,920 --> 01:22:00,440
And now he's back to beat it again.

1865
01:22:00,480 --> 01:22:03,600
It's the mighty Ben Polson.

1866
01:22:05,080 --> 01:22:07,960
Big question is can we beat
the world record from last year.

1867
01:22:08,000 --> 01:22:12,200
My own world record, 5.8m,
which is incredibly high.

1868
01:22:12,240 --> 01:22:14,880
I know deep down in my heart that
I can definitely beat that.

1869
01:22:14,920 --> 01:22:17,960
If it's gotta go down and
someone's gonna get that 6 metres,

1870
01:22:18,000 --> 01:22:19,360
I'm ready, I want it.

1871
01:22:21,200 --> 01:22:22,360
He looks confident

1872
01:22:22,400 --> 01:22:25,680
and why wouldn't you be
when you've set a world record

1873
01:22:25,720 --> 01:22:27,200
half a metre higher than this?

1874
01:22:27,240 --> 01:22:28,600
You've got this, Ben.

1875
01:22:28,640 --> 01:22:31,800
When, you're that tall like,
honestly, this bloke is massive.

1876
01:22:31,840 --> 01:22:35,040
He's 195cm but his wingspan

1877
01:22:35,080 --> 01:22:36,200
is even bigger than that.

1878
01:22:36,240 --> 01:22:39,480
It is crazy. Here we go.

1879
01:22:39,520 --> 01:22:40,560
Ben Polson.

1880
01:22:41,960 --> 01:22:44,960
Easy. He floated up there.

1881
01:22:45,000 --> 01:22:46,440
He floated. You're right.

1882
01:22:46,480 --> 01:22:48,040
Have a look at him.

1883
01:22:48,960 --> 01:22:50,720
Oh, once more.
Too small.

1884
01:22:50,760 --> 01:22:51,760
Look at him.

1885
01:22:51,800 --> 01:22:55,480
Alright, we want to see a new record
tonight. How high can you go?

1886
01:22:55,520 --> 01:22:58,360
Oh, 5.8m, you know
it wasn't easy last year

1887
01:22:58,400 --> 01:22:59,960
and we've got
some good competitors.

1888
01:23:00,000 --> 01:23:01,320
I mean Steve made that look easy.

1889
01:23:01,360 --> 01:23:04,560
Bryson, yeah, he did OK.
(LAUGHTER)

1890
01:23:04,600 --> 01:23:06,720
But I think someone's gonna
do it tonight, that's for sure.

1891
01:23:06,760 --> 01:23:07,840
It's going down.

1892
01:23:07,880 --> 01:23:09,720
Huge. Love hearing that, mate.
Congratulations.

1893
01:23:09,760 --> 01:23:11,760
Let's give it up for Ben Polson
again, guys.

1894
01:23:13,200 --> 01:23:14,680
What a man.

1895
01:23:17,320 --> 01:23:21,880
Alright, guys. Well look, I think
that looked pretty easy in at 5.3m.

1896
01:23:21,920 --> 01:23:25,120
Should we raise it up
by another 25cm?

1897
01:23:26,440 --> 01:23:28,080
(LAUGHS)

1898
01:23:28,120 --> 01:23:30,640
CROWD (CHANTING): Raise it up!

1899
01:23:31,880 --> 01:23:33,680
Raise it up!

1900
01:23:35,640 --> 01:23:37,520
Oh, look, they're working on it.

1901
01:23:46,720 --> 01:23:49,320
(THEME MUSIC)

1902
01:23:49,360 --> 01:23:51,880
LEILA: Before the break,
four brave ninjas

1903
01:23:51,920 --> 01:23:56,960
took on the Rising Mega Warped Wall
at a starting height of 5.3m.

1904
01:23:57,600 --> 01:23:59,200
We have raised the Wall.

1905
01:23:59,240 --> 01:24:03,200
It is currently at 5.55m.

1906
01:24:03,240 --> 01:24:05,040
Three ninjas remain, Will.

1907
01:24:05,080 --> 01:24:06,160
Yeah, that's right.

1908
01:24:06,200 --> 01:24:09,160
We've still got
Bryson Klein, Steve Manassah,

1909
01:24:09,200 --> 01:24:13,400
and of course world record holder
Ben Polson

1910
01:24:13,440 --> 01:24:17,920
who we know for a fact has got
another 25cm in him

1911
01:24:17,960 --> 01:24:19,440
at the very least.

1912
01:24:19,480 --> 01:24:21,240
Shall we get into it, guys?

1913
01:24:24,480 --> 01:24:26,320
Bryson Klein's up first.

1914
01:24:27,400 --> 01:24:30,360
He did make 5.3m look
pretty easy, Bryson Klein.

1915
01:24:30,400 --> 01:24:33,400
This is 25cm higher.

1916
01:24:33,440 --> 01:24:35,640
Now, he's never gone
this high before

1917
01:24:35,680 --> 01:24:38,480
and he only has one attempt
to make it to the top.

1918
01:24:38,520 --> 01:24:40,200
If he misses, he's out.

1919
01:24:41,360 --> 01:24:44,880
He's a professional climber as well,
Bryson Klein. That's his job.

1920
01:24:44,920 --> 01:24:46,280
Here he goes. Up.

1921
01:24:47,560 --> 01:24:48,640
Oh!

1922
01:24:50,440 --> 01:24:51,800
It's the single juke again.

1923
01:24:52,720 --> 01:24:53,800
Yes!

1924
01:24:53,840 --> 01:24:55,840
He looked like
he was gonna fall back.

1925
01:24:55,880 --> 01:24:58,120
It's like a scene off
'Vertical Limit'.

1926
01:24:58,160 --> 01:24:59,840
That looked wild.

1927
01:25:00,800 --> 01:25:03,240
It looked like you were heading back
and then the arm came out.

1928
01:25:03,280 --> 01:25:04,640
How does that feel?

1929
01:25:04,680 --> 01:25:07,080
I've gotta get traction
on that last step.

1930
01:25:07,120 --> 01:25:08,600
I've gotta use everything I can.

1931
01:25:08,640 --> 01:25:10,600
So I've gotta
'risk it for the biscuit'.

1932
01:25:10,640 --> 01:25:13,600
Hey, mate, I know you're a climber.
That's your background.

1933
01:25:13,640 --> 01:25:15,920
How much does that help you with
that grab at the end there?

1934
01:25:15,960 --> 01:25:17,160
A lot.

1935
01:25:17,200 --> 01:25:18,840
A really helpful technique.

1936
01:25:18,880 --> 01:25:22,280
Guys, cover your ears.
(LAUGHTER)

1937
01:25:22,320 --> 01:25:24,720
If you reach one hand you get
about that much more height

1938
01:25:24,760 --> 01:25:26,400
than if you reach with both hands.

1939
01:25:26,440 --> 01:25:27,440
Oh!

1940
01:25:27,480 --> 01:25:29,320
If I didn't know that
I might not have made this.

1941
01:25:29,360 --> 01:25:31,280
Oh, so that's why
it looks so theatrical.

1942
01:25:31,320 --> 01:25:33,120
That's actually, that's a technique.

1943
01:25:33,160 --> 01:25:35,920
I thought you were just going for
the superhero grab at the end there.

1944
01:25:36,960 --> 01:25:39,400
5.55m, he's set the bar high

1945
01:25:39,440 --> 01:25:41,520
but is it high enough
for the new kid on the block

1946
01:25:41,560 --> 01:25:43,640
or should I say the new kid
on the wall?

1947
01:25:43,680 --> 01:25:45,320
It's Stevil Kinevil, everybody.

1948
01:25:45,360 --> 01:25:48,280
Give him a round of applause.
(CHEERING)

1949
01:25:50,600 --> 01:25:52,480
This bloke was very good at 5.3m.

1950
01:25:52,520 --> 01:25:55,760
It's amazing to think this is his
first time doing Record Breakers.

1951
01:25:55,800 --> 01:25:57,720
It's absolutely incredible.

1952
01:25:57,760 --> 01:26:01,040
He has never seen a wall this high
or anywhere near this high.

1953
01:26:01,080 --> 01:26:02,680
This is a first.

1954
01:26:03,720 --> 01:26:08,200
I can't stress to people at home
enough how big that drop is.

1955
01:26:08,240 --> 01:26:11,600
Your mind has to defy
what you know about gravity.

1956
01:26:11,640 --> 01:26:12,680
Yeah.

1957
01:26:12,720 --> 01:26:14,040
Look at that jump.

1958
01:26:14,080 --> 01:26:18,400
He's practising that explosive jump
that they need to reach the tip.

1959
01:26:18,440 --> 01:26:20,160
You see he's psyching himself up.

1960
01:26:20,200 --> 01:26:22,840
Come on!
Oh, yeah, come on.

1961
01:26:22,880 --> 01:26:24,080
He's guttural!

1962
01:26:25,040 --> 01:26:26,800
Come on, Stevil Kinevil!

1963
01:26:26,840 --> 01:26:28,080
He's gonna do it.

1964
01:26:28,120 --> 01:26:30,840
He looks like he is going
to explode up there. Let's see.

1965
01:26:31,880 --> 01:26:33,160
Get up there, Steve.

1966
01:26:33,200 --> 01:26:35,280
Oh, he slipped.
Oh, no.

1967
01:26:35,320 --> 01:26:36,960
Oh, he slipped.

1968
01:26:37,760 --> 01:26:40,480
Steven Manassah,
what a hero though.

1969
01:26:40,520 --> 01:26:41,840
He acknowledges the crowd.

1970
01:26:41,880 --> 01:26:43,720
Obviously disappointed.

1971
01:26:43,760 --> 01:26:45,200
What a shame.

1972
01:26:45,240 --> 01:26:46,880
We would have loved to see him
get up there.

1973
01:26:47,880 --> 01:26:52,800
Let's not forget that this Wall
stands an incredible 5.55m.

1974
01:26:52,840 --> 01:26:55,120
It's 1.2m higher

1975
01:26:55,160 --> 01:26:57,520
than the Wall we had
in the competition.

1976
01:26:57,560 --> 01:26:59,080
It's extraordinary.

1977
01:26:59,120 --> 01:27:01,400
It's going to take
an extraordinary ninja to beat it.

1978
01:27:01,440 --> 01:27:04,240
And it's time for the joint
world record holder

1979
01:27:04,280 --> 01:27:06,360
to show us what he's got.

1980
01:27:06,400 --> 01:27:07,760
It's Ben Polson.
Here we go.

1981
01:27:07,800 --> 01:27:11,200
The current world record holder,
Benny Polson.

1982
01:27:12,120 --> 01:27:14,640
So, it's just him
and Bryson Klein now.

1983
01:27:14,680 --> 01:27:17,640
If Ben doesn't make this,
Bryson takes home 15 grand.

1984
01:27:20,480 --> 01:27:22,520
Here we go. The king.

1985
01:27:22,560 --> 01:27:23,840
He's up.

1986
01:27:23,880 --> 01:27:26,680
The Ninja Warrior nails it again.
(CHEERING)

1987
01:27:26,720 --> 01:27:28,880
Wow, that takes
some explosive power.

1988
01:27:28,920 --> 01:27:30,880
Incredible.
Whoo!

1989
01:27:30,920 --> 01:27:32,680
You've got
the young challenger left.

1990
01:27:32,720 --> 01:27:34,680
It's you versus Bryson.

1991
01:27:34,720 --> 01:27:36,760
Ninja versus ninja.

1992
01:27:36,800 --> 01:27:39,280
He looks small from down here,
that's for sure.

1993
01:27:39,320 --> 01:27:41,360
(LAUGHTER)
Let's settle it on the Wall, hey?

1994
01:27:42,560 --> 01:27:44,360
Wow. Congratulations, mate.

1995
01:27:47,040 --> 01:27:49,160
Shall we left this up to 5.8m?
What do you think?

1996
01:27:49,920 --> 01:27:51,480
Let's get down to business.

1997
01:27:51,520 --> 01:27:54,240
LEILA: Raise it up, raise it up!

1998
01:27:58,320 --> 01:28:00,520
Raise it up!

1999
01:28:01,520 --> 01:28:04,920
We are at 5.8m.

2000
01:28:04,960 --> 01:28:06,800
That is a world record height.

2001
01:28:06,840 --> 01:28:10,600
It was set by Josh O'Sullivan
and a guy called Ben Polson.

2002
01:28:10,640 --> 01:28:13,040
And we are gonna try
and equal it now.

2003
01:28:13,080 --> 01:28:15,000
Ben had to share this last year.

2004
01:28:15,040 --> 01:28:17,040
He's not gonna want to do it
this year.

2005
01:28:17,080 --> 01:28:19,280
There's still someone
standing in his way,

2006
01:28:19,320 --> 01:28:22,680
that is the one and only
Bryson Klein.

2007
01:28:22,720 --> 01:28:25,640
The rivalry between these two
is strong tonight, isn't it?

2008
01:28:25,680 --> 01:28:26,880
That's right.

2009
01:28:26,920 --> 01:28:28,520
Bryson actually said at the start
of the comp

2010
01:28:28,560 --> 01:28:30,520
he wanted to dethrone Ben Polson.

2011
01:28:30,560 --> 01:28:34,520
So can he dethrone Ben Polson
on the Wall tonight?

2012
01:28:35,720 --> 01:28:38,120
Oh, he wants a slow clap.

2013
01:28:40,720 --> 01:28:43,080
WOMAN: Come on, Bryson!
He's got one attempt.

2014
01:28:43,120 --> 01:28:44,920
Can he equal the world record?

2015
01:28:46,320 --> 01:28:48,400
(CLAPPING SPEEDS UP)

2016
01:28:48,440 --> 01:28:51,160
We're getting him up there
with the fast clap!

2017
01:28:52,360 --> 01:28:53,400
Oh.
Ooh!

2018
01:28:56,080 --> 01:28:57,280
Is he alright?

2019
01:28:57,320 --> 01:29:00,560
I think so but it's terrifying
coming back down, isn't it?

2020
01:29:00,600 --> 01:29:01,960
It is petrifying.

2021
01:29:02,000 --> 01:29:04,280
That is a long, long way.

2022
01:29:04,320 --> 01:29:06,280
I feel like he really
threw everything out at that.

2023
01:29:06,320 --> 01:29:08,920
He did but unfortunately
Bryson Klein

2024
01:29:08,960 --> 01:29:12,440
is no longer in the running
for the $15,000

2025
01:29:12,480 --> 01:29:15,200
which leaves us with just one ninja.

2026
01:29:16,840 --> 01:29:18,560
Alright, it all comes down to this.

2027
01:29:18,600 --> 01:29:21,280
Can this man, Ben Polson,

2028
01:29:21,320 --> 01:29:25,560
equal his own Ninja Warrior
world record?

2029
01:29:25,600 --> 01:29:26,880
He did it last year.

2030
01:29:26,920 --> 01:29:28,680
Can he do it again?

2031
01:29:28,720 --> 01:29:31,440
If he wants the $15,000
all to himself,

2032
01:29:31,480 --> 01:29:34,440
he has to make it to the top.

2033
01:29:39,480 --> 01:29:41,680
Here we go. Ben Polson!

2034
01:29:42,960 --> 01:29:44,280
(CHEERING)

2035
01:29:46,440 --> 01:29:48,680
He's done it! Look at him!

2036
01:29:48,720 --> 01:29:50,160
He's up!

2037
01:29:53,640 --> 01:29:55,960
Wow.
Ben Polson!

2038
01:29:58,640 --> 01:30:01,360
He's copied Bryson Klein with the
single arm and he's up there.

2039
01:30:02,960 --> 01:30:06,240
Wow-wee! He has just tied
the Ninja Warrior world record.

2040
01:30:08,400 --> 01:30:10,000
That is unbelievable.

2041
01:30:10,040 --> 01:30:11,720
By the way, he's got more.

2042
01:30:11,760 --> 01:30:15,120
He's just won $15,000.

2043
01:30:15,160 --> 01:30:19,440
Ben, how does 5.9m,
a new world record sound?

2044
01:30:19,480 --> 01:30:21,320
That sounds pretty sweet to me.
Let's do it.

2045
01:30:23,680 --> 01:30:24,960
Alright. Let's do it, everybody.

2046
01:30:25,000 --> 01:30:27,040
Raise it up!
We're going up again.

2047
01:30:27,080 --> 01:30:28,520
Raise it up!

2048
01:30:28,560 --> 01:30:32,720
Ten more centimetres and then the
world record will be yours alone.

2049
01:30:32,760 --> 01:30:35,080
No more sharesies, all yours.

2050
01:30:35,120 --> 01:30:36,560
This is absolutely massive.

2051
01:30:36,600 --> 01:30:41,080
Ben Polson is attempting
to break the world record.

2052
01:30:42,320 --> 01:30:44,520
Australia, do not go anywhere.

2053
01:30:44,560 --> 01:30:48,600
5.9m! We'll be right back.

2055
01:31:08,440 --> 01:31:11,760
LEILA: Welcome back to Australian
Ninja Warrior Record Breakers

2056
01:31:11,800 --> 01:31:17,760
where we could just be seconds away
from breaking a world record.

2057
01:31:17,800 --> 01:31:18,920
Yeah, that's right, Leila.

2058
01:31:18,960 --> 01:31:22,600
The one and only Ben Polson.
He's a talisman of this sport.

2059
01:31:22,640 --> 01:31:28,640
His own world record is 5.8m
on the Warped Wall.

2060
01:31:28,680 --> 01:31:31,840
Right now he's
going for 5.9m, guys.

2061
01:31:31,880 --> 01:31:33,280
Can he do it?

2062
01:31:34,080 --> 01:31:35,880
We're about to find out.

2063
01:31:36,880 --> 01:31:41,120
5.9m has never been achieved
anywhere in the world.

2064
01:31:41,160 --> 01:31:45,000
He's already won the $15,000,
he's matched his own world record.

2065
01:31:45,040 --> 01:31:46,960
But records are made to be broken.

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

2067
01:31:51,240 --> 01:31:53,240
Going for a Ninja Warrior
world record.

2068
01:31:53,280 --> 01:31:55,280
Doesn't get better than this.

2069
01:31:56,560 --> 01:31:57,760
Three times his height.

2070
01:31:57,800 --> 01:32:00,640
5.9m is three times
this guy's height.

2071
01:32:00,680 --> 01:32:03,560
Honestly, have a look
at the size of him. He's enormous.

2072
01:32:03,600 --> 01:32:05,520
As tall as he is wide.

2073
01:32:05,560 --> 01:32:09,280
This bloke's got muscles in places
where people don't even have places.

2075

try and break his own world record.

Here we go.

2077
01:32:19,120 --> 01:32:20,800
The crowd is going crazy.

2078
01:32:20,840 --> 01:32:22,520
Here we go. Come on, Ben.

2079
01:32:22,560 --> 01:32:24,360
He's got the body,
he's got the mind. Here we go!

2080
01:32:27,360 --> 01:32:29,320
(CHEERING)
He's up! Unbelievable!

2081
01:32:31,320 --> 01:32:33,960
I can't believe it! Yes!

2082
01:32:35,440 --> 01:32:37,320
Unbelievable!

2083
01:32:37,360 --> 01:32:39,640
That is a new Ninja Warrior
world record.

2084
01:32:41,360 --> 01:32:44,280
Wow-wee!
We are all blown away.

2085
01:32:44,320 --> 01:32:47,200
He broke his own world record.

2086
01:32:47,240 --> 01:32:49,320
I can't believe what I've just seen.

2087
01:32:51,280 --> 01:32:54,160
That is extraordinary.
Yeah.

2088
01:32:54,200 --> 01:32:57,520
Ben, mate, you're standing under
the moon and I think that's pretty

2089
01:32:57,560 --> 01:33:02,200
fitting because you just eclipsed
your own world record, mate.

2090
01:33:02,240 --> 01:33:03,760
How does it feel?

2091
01:33:06,560 --> 01:33:09,120
Yeah. It feels awesome.

2092
01:33:09,160 --> 01:33:12,120
You know, to be honest, going
into this tonight, obviously

2093
01:33:12,160 --> 01:33:15,400
there is prize money and everything,
and that is awesome to win that.

2094
01:33:15,440 --> 01:33:18,800
But I genuinely wanted
to hit the world record

2095
01:33:18,840 --> 01:33:20,560
so I'm super stoked
that I made it.

at an astonishing 5.9m
on the Warped Wall!

He is the winner of the Warped Wall
tonight on Record Breakers

2099
01:33:38,120 --> 01:33:41,360
and $15,000, Leila.

2100
01:33:41,400 --> 01:33:43,000
Give it up for him, everybody.

2101
01:33:43,920 --> 01:33:49,760
The Ninja Warrior, Ben Polson, has
broken his own world record tonight.

2102

01:33:52,080 --> 01:33:54,560
What a superstar he is.

2104
01:33:54,600 --> 01:33:55,920
What a warrior.

Make some noise for Ben Polson!

2111

we have had.

2113
01:34:25,920 --> 01:34:27,640
And what a way to finish.

2114
01:34:32,160 --> 01:34:34,720
Tonight we saw the Barefoot Ninja
Daniel Mason

2115
01:34:34,760 --> 01:34:36,920
take out friendly rival
Ashlin 'Flashlin' Herbert

2116

Ninja queen, Olivia Vivian,

2118
01:34:41,040 --> 01:34:43,840
scored herself a win on the
Big Dipper Freestyle challenge,

2119
01:34:43,880 --> 01:34:46,800
wowing the judges
with her split decision.

2120
01:34:48,840 --> 01:34:53,120
And new champions emerged when we
saw 17-year-old Saxon Johnstone

2121
01:34:53,160 --> 01:34:56,960
smash his way to the top of the
Salmon Ladder in just 43 seconds.

2122
01:34:57,000 --> 01:35:00,960
A superb effort from a
first timer in Record Breakers.

2123
01:35:01,000 --> 01:35:02,680
Have a look at him.

2124
01:35:02,720 --> 01:35:04,640
It wouldn't be called
Record Breakers if we didn't

2125
01:35:04,680 --> 01:35:09,800
break some records with our ninjas
setting two brand-new world records.

2126

Shelf Grab...

And Ben Polson on
the Rising Mega Warped Wall

2130
01:35:21,360 --> 01:35:25,480
reaching a terrifying height
of 5.9m.

2131
01:35:28,600 --> 01:35:33,760
It has been a monumental night here
at Ninja Warrior Record Breakers.

2132
01:35:33,800 --> 01:35:36,920
It has been incredible but that
is it from Sydney Olympic Park.

2133
01:35:36,960 --> 01:35:39,200
We hope you had as much fun
as we did.

2134
01:35:39,240 --> 01:35:41,560
Good night, Australia.
Until next time.

2135
01:35:41,600 --> 01:35:43,120
