Watch Flip Rodriguez’s full LA qualifying run

Flip Rodriguez has been one of the most consistent performers in the American Ninja Warrior Los Angeles City Qualifiers. The 8-time Ninja has made three straight City Finals. But this year, he had the opportunity to do something new: make it up the Mega Wall.

Flip raced through the Floating Steps, getting off to an easy start.

Flip’s tadpoles watched on as their coach breezed through the beginning.

He ran into some trouble with the Sky Hooks, but recovered nicely and moved on.

But it was the Doorknob Drop that did Flip in, like so many other LA Ninjas this year.

The replay showed exactly what went wrong.

Nooooo!

Matt and Akbar couldn’t believe it either.

But ultimately, Flip’s run was good enough to make his fourth straight city finals! See you there!
