Amos Rendao

Amos Rendao is a parkour instructor from Boulder, CO and four-time ANW veteran, known for his impressive speed on the course.

He first competed in American Ninja Warrior 2. His run was all cut, but it is known that he slipped from the Spider Walk while trying to rush and failed, not advancing to the semi-finals.

He returned to compete on American Ninja Warrior 3, as the third-last runner of the first episode of the season. Despite almost tripping on the Cross Bridge and struggling to climb over the net on the Jump Hang, he managed to clear the course in 1:00.66 minutes and place 19th overall, moving on to the semi-finals. In the semi-finals, his run was digested, but it was shown that he went out early on the Jumping Bars, placing 26th overall and failing to move on.

In American Ninja Warrior 4, Amos competed in the Southeast qualifiers. Rendao made it to the Soritatsu Kabe, but could not scale the wall in three tries. However, his time past the Wall Lifting was enough to place 23rd and move on to the regional finals. In the semi-finals, Rendao started fast but tripped on the Bungee Bridge, having a hard impact onto the cords and tapping the safety mat, disqualifying him. He placed 28th overall, and did not move on.

In American Ninja Warrior 5, Rendao returned for the Denver qualifiers. There, he became one of the 48 finishers of the course, snagging the second fastest time of 55 seconds flat, a time only bested by Brandon Douglass. In the city finals, he had high confidence in running the course, even attempting the Quintuple Steps with a blindfold on and successfully clearing it. He managed to make quick work of the first six obstacles, but had too much speed going into the Salmon Ladder, losing his grip after the first jump. His final appearance on the course ended up being his most successful performance.
