American Ninja Warrior 9
In qualifying, Anthony Trucks had become the first competitor to finish the Los Angeles course, clearing with the 10th fastest time.

Though he was able to beat it in qualifying, Trucks failed the Battering Ram in the city finals, likely due to his heavier weight (225 lbs). He placed 23rd overall, and didn't qualify for the national finals.

American Ninja Warrior 10
Trucks competed in Los Angeles in American Ninja Warrior 10, where his run was digested, but he was one of many to fail the Doorknob Drop. Trucks had placed 18th overall in qualifying, and advanced to the city finals.

In the city finals, Anthony failed the Flying Shelf Grab after missing the second shelf. He placed 27th overall.

American Ninja Warrior 11
He returned in Los Angeles again. His qualifying run was cut, but he was once again deterred by an obstacle that opposed his heavier weight, as he failed Spring Forward. However, because very few competitors got to attempt the obstacle overall, he was able to barely advance to the city finals, placing 29th overall.

During the city finals, he completed Spring Forward. However, gravity took over on the Spin Hopper, and he fell there, placing 25th overall. This became his third consecutive season being eliminated in the city finals.
