He competed in Los Angeles for ANW 11, where he successfully cleared the course with the fourth fastest time. He went straight for the normal 14.5-foot Warped Wall. In the city finals he failed Leaps of Faith but still placed fourth and moved on.

On Stage One, he had an incredible save on the Diving Boards where he tripped on the fourth board but saved himself from falling by grabbing on to the board and flipping himself back up. He sadly failed Twist & Fly, by rushing the cargo net, if he gained one more swing he would have made it.
