He returned in Oklahoma City, where his run was once again cut, but he fell on the Fly Wheels.

American Ninja Warrior 13
He returned in the third qualifying episode, where his run was yet again cut, but it was revealed that he failed on Pretzel Twist and made it far enough to make the top 30 for the first time in his career as he placed 14th overall.
