Josh Cook is a three time American Ninja Warrior competitor.
He first competed in ANW5 in Denver, where he cleared the qualifying course with the ninth fastest time out of forty-eight clears. He then had an asthma attack during his semi-finals run, but he still continued his run and became one of five finishers that night and even had the second fastest time. In Vegas, he ran the course with a green mohawk and cleared Stage One with over 26 seconds left on the clock. However on Stage Two he rushed the Double Salmon Ladder falling as soon as he started on the very first set off rungs.
In ANW6, Josh competed in the Dallas and completed the qualifying round. In the Semi Finals, his run was digested but it was shown that he fell on the Salmon Ladder on the jump to the last set of rungs. Luckily he was chosen as a Wild Card in vegas and although his run was digested it showed that he cleared Stage One again. On Stage Two, he got revenge on the Double Salmon Ladder and made it all the way to the fourth obstacle, the Butterfly Wall where he took a bad jump onto the wall and fell, he would be one of only two to fail the obstacle during all of its appearances.
In ANW7, he competed Kansas and once again cleared the qualifying course. Although the rain made it very difficult for some competitors it didn't stop him from putting on a performance as he made it all the way the the 9th obstacle the Body Prop and fell like many others that day. His time was fast enough to put him in 5th place and made it to the finals in vegas. On Stage One, he cleared the first two obstacles although on the second obstacle he hit his head hard on the Propeller Bar he still continued his run but he went out on the very next obstacle the Silk Slider, making the first time that he failed Stage One. This would be his last known appearance.
