Shane Scudder, nicknamed the Ninja Nugget, is a competitor who first competed in Atlanta in American Ninja Warrior 11.
American Ninja Warrior 11[]
On the course, Shane didn't manage to get far in the qualifying round, tripping on the first obstacle, the Shrinking Steps. On the broadcasting, however, he ultimately had the honor of receiving the #1 Akbar-Gbajabiamila Moment of the night, where his fail ultimately caused a huge impression on entirely splashing an NBC cameraman.
American Ninja Warrior 13[]
He was originally slated to compete in Washington D.C. in ANW 12. However, due to the pandemic altering the season, he did not participate that year. Likely to make up for this, he was able to compete in ANW 13.
Shane competed in the third episode of qualifying, where his run was cut, but history repeated itself as he failed the Shrinking Steps again.
American Ninja Warrior 15[]
Shane returned to compete in ANW 15 in the fourth qualifier. His run was cut, but he failed on Pole Vault, once again failing on the first obstacle.
