An avid fan of the 91裸聊视频�91裸聊视频� television show has built his own tribute to the challenging obstacle courses featured on the show, in the backyard of his Langley home.
Now, the homemade obstacles constructed by Tristan Kasmer have become the scene for a smaller-scale challenge, the 91裸聊视频淏ackyard Ninja Invitational.91裸聊视频�
On Sunday (June 9), about 30 people, most of them kids, will take on the course, climbing and jumping around and over an array of obstructions.
It will mark the second time that Tristan and his wife Brandi have hosted the event.
Running from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. it will start with a special non-competitive event for the youngest kids, the 91裸聊视频渓ittles91裸聊视频� for two- to three-year-olds, then rising through the age categories until the adults tackle the course.
It is designed so that the degree of difficulty can be dialed down for young competitors, then up.
The first year the event was held, only one person was injured, and that was an adult who suffered a muscle pull while warming up, Brandi said.
91裸聊视频淲e have mats, and mattresses, to ensure that no one is hurt,91裸聊视频� she noted.
Participants are also required to sign a waiver.
Brandi said the appeal of the sport is is the degree of athleticism it requires.
91裸聊视频淚ts about how well you can manage your own body,91裸聊视频� she explained.
91裸聊视频淚f you miss a grip, you have to react without falling.91裸聊视频�
Based on the number of online postings, there are many backyard obstacle courses in the U.S., but Brandi doesn91裸聊视频檛 know of any in Canada except the one that occupies her own back yard.
Tristan said it started with 91裸聊视频渁 few bars and a few grips91裸聊视频� and grew over several years, inspired by the television show.
91裸聊视频淚 just wanted to train,91裸聊视频� he said.
91裸聊视频淚 thought that [the obstacle courses on the show] looked like fun. I thought other guys are doing their own courses [and posting video clips online], so I might as well built my own stuff.91裸聊视频�
It helped, he said, that his home is on a typically big Brookswood site.
Tristan said his design doesn91裸聊视频檛 attempt to duplicate the elaborate, giant-sized challenges of the television show, but it does aim to recreate the intensity, within reason.
91裸聊视频淭hey have a huge budget and I have a few dollars, so [I thought] what can I build, realistically, with the materials I91裸聊视频檝e got,91裸聊视频� 91裸聊视频� he said.
Filling up most of the yard, the obstacle course describes an 91裸聊视频淪91裸聊视频� curve of challenges ranging in difficulty from rings and grips, to a climbing wall and a section of oddly-angled tree stumps that require careful stepping, just to name just a few.
91裸聊视频淚 try to include as much of the back yard as I can,91裸聊视频� he said.
Portions of the obstacle course are taller than the first storey of the family house.
