Chad Riddle is a kindergarten teacher from Red Lion, Pennsylvania.
American Ninja Warrior 6[]
His run was cut in American Ninja Warrior 6 during the Miami qualifiers. However, it was revealed four years later that he failed the Curtain Slider and didn’t advance since there were 42 finishers.
This was later shown to be one of a major heartbreak for Chad, as he had promised to see his mother, Lori, at Las Vegas, only to fail to even make it past qualifying.
American Ninja Warrior 10[]
After 4 years of not being selected, Chad was selected as a walk-on to compete in Philadelphia in American Ninja Warrior 10. This time, he finished the qualifying course, placing 7th at the end of the night.
His run in the city finals was digested, but it was shown that he surprisingly failed the Lightning Bolts, placing 16th and didn't advance to Vegas.
