Tonight’s episode of American Ninja Warrior will feature seven Colorado badasses tackling the television show’s near-impossible obstacle course for a chance to make it to the finals and win $500,000. All seven belong to a local parkour gym called APEX Movement. Check out the show tonight on NBC at 8 p.m.
