The over editing on these ruins it. Just give us the original audio so we can hear their excitement! The stupid slo-mo and music is too much.

Honestly I think it's just a dad doing a corny video at least it's not some annoying Brazilian dubstep infused tik tok

🥹 thinking about that it's kinda heartwarming

u/gbejrlsu 1d ago

It's 100% a dad-edit. Watched it in silent mode like most but still the Chariots of Fire theme ran through my head. It's hilarious and great.

u/TheMov3r 1d ago

That's exactly what happened to me, I turned up the volume fully expecting this song and was not disappointed

u/yonkapin 1d ago

it's not, bunch of videos going around using this classic track, i don't even know what it's called

u/Talory09 1d ago

Vangelis - Chariots of Fire

It's the theme song from this movie: Chariots of Fire. It's a dramatic movie about sports, which is why so many athletic achievement clips are set to it.

If she loses her grip and falls he plays the 'oh no. Oh no. Oh no no no no no' song

Yeah this is how people would ruin videos in the early internet haha. Almost nostalgic now.

u/redthroway24 2d ago

That music was incredibly overplayed when that movie was out. But it went from unbearable to hilarious when a guy I worked with came up with "the lyrics" for it.

"There once were 2 runners

Who ran on the beaches

To get to the Olympics

In 1924."

There was more, but I don't remember it as well. It cracked us up when he sang it for us in the office one day, and still brings a smile to my face.

u/mrminutehand 1d ago

As a kid, I watched Bruce Almighty before Chariots of Fire, so whenever I hear this music all I can see is Jim Carrey spilling a massive jug of milk over a line of kids.

It's not as weird as how I might have worded that. Clip.

For me it’s National lampoons vacation when they’re running through the inexplicably empty parking lot at Wally World.

I think we can go slower to be honest. This video could have been at least an hour and 15 minutes. 1:30 if done professionally.

Yah someones trying to win an oscar with this edit

u/Buggaton 1d ago

This is the second video I've heard with Chariot's of Fire in the background. Honestly, of all the crappy backing music, this one I can get on board with. I mean, I'd rather the original audio, but if we're always going to have trends of crappy music in the background, this isn't the worst choice.

I'd prefer the airship music from Final Fantasy 11 though.

u/Logical_Net6108 1d ago

Imagine how miserable you have to be to get mad at Chariots of Fire being put over something athletic

u/Buggaton 1d ago

Haha, well quite!

My youth was this exact thing on TV shows and adverts. It's kinda nostalgic!

Yup. Show me the video first and let me decide if I want to watch a slow-mo frame by frame of it, lol. Didn't even finish it.

Annoying slomo, cool wall run.

u/Scereye 1d ago

On mute the slowmo was actually pretty cool to watch.

u/Lobsterzilla 1d ago

I just wish we got both tbf. I don’t understand why every video that uses slow motion doesn’t also follow up with regular speed

6

u/Viper_595 1d ago

Ended too soon. We need to see the celebration!

3

u/Bonemesh 1d ago

Should have filmed the original in "slomo mode " 240 fps or something, so playing it back doesn't look like a slide show

u/Bacon-muffin 1d ago

I actually thought the slowmo was neat, but it coulda used the full speed version too.

Why is it in slow motion?

u/level1hero 2d ago

It’s actually in real time. The girl ran so fast it warped the space-time continuum

u/Explorerkit 2d ago

I hate when that happens

19

u/deadspacekillers 2d ago

Well if she warps it enough, you can go back in time and keep it from happening.

2

u/ChanceConfection3 2d ago

I mean, she doesn’t even have access to a deflector dish that can emit an inverse tachyon beam

u/Archhanny 2d ago

No you just have to fly round the sun really fast

3

u/mateo222210 1d ago

it´s the earth. you have to reverse the rotation of the earth by flying round it really fast, thus going back in time. obviously

2

u/PepperAnn1inaMillion 1d ago

Don’t be ridiculous. You have to fly around the Earth until it spins the wrong way. Then turn it forwards again.

5

u/VectorJones 1d ago

It has been interesting to see how these American Ninja athletes have stepped up their game over the years as one contrasts and compares early courses with the later ones. These ramps were the scourge of the course for strong, seasoned athletes once upon a time. Now little kids are tackling them fairly easily.

u/AliensAbductMePlz 2d ago

u/bomilk19 2d ago

Well done! I was able to navigate an entire flight of stairs today and only had to stop once to catch my breath.

Beat that wall! Beat that wall!!

This is a standard feature on American Ninja Warrior. It’s great television. You can see at the top of the wall it says Ninja.

u/Onphone_irl 2d ago

I have no idea how good I'd be at this (I'm decently athletic) but something tells me I might be absolute ass.

Is it strong quads/glutes or is there a bit more to it?

Congrats to this determined girl! I'd love to see the full climb without any cuts and see how happy she is when she makes it to the top.

So overly edited that I didn't even finish watching it. Just post the video people, or do the slowmo after the real time playthrough.

You know what'd make this really cool? Okay the actual video clip at a normal speed. Playing a low frame rate video in ultra allow motion just gives us a slide show.
