Dorian Cedars have been a competitor in 7 seasons of American Ninja Warrior. He is an entrepreneur and stuntman from Studio City, California and was a national champion all-star cheerleader and collegiate cheerleader for the University of Colorado. He has been flying airplanes since the age of 2.
In American Ninja Warrior 1, his run was digested, but it was shown that he cleared the course in 39.7 seconds, placing 9th overall and moving on to the semi-finals. However, despite his strong performance in the preliminaries, in the semi-finals, he was unable to scale the Warped Wall, despite beating it in qualifying. He placed 28th overall and did not move on, being one of just three competitors to fail the front half of the course. It was later revealed he was running on a torn bicep, which affected his performance.
He returned to compete on American Ninja Warrior 2. In qualifying, he preformed well, despite sustaining an ankle injury on the Cross Bridge (which later affected him on obstacles such as the Spider Jump). He managed to clear in 18th place, eliminating Sean O'Brien. In the semi-finals, despite his injury, he managed to clear the entire course, placing 9th overall. However, he struggled in the Boot Camp due to his injured ankle, struggling on obstacles such as the Balance Tank and Soritatsu Kabe. He was eventually eliminated by Patrick Cusic on the second day of Boot Camp.
In American Ninja Warrior 3, he competed despite having rotator cuff surgery just 8 weeks prior. He managed to make it all the way to the Jumping Bars, but was shockingly DQ'd after his foot tapped the water at the dismount.
In American Ninja Warrior 4, Dorian punched his first ticket to Mt. Midoriyama by clearing both the qualifying and semi-final rounds. But in Vegas, despite clearing the first five obstacles with ease, it took him three attempts to make it up the Soritatsu Kabe. He timed out making a memorable last-second leap for the buzzer.
In American Ninja Warrior 5, he made it through the first five obstacles, but just like in ANW1, He couldn't get up the Soritatsu Kabe, not moving on to the Denver Finals due to the high number of clears that night.
In American Ninja Warrior 6, he competed in Venice and this time was able to make it up the Warped Wall and get into the Top 30, placing 15th overall. In the Venice Finals, he failed Cannonball Alley but he still managed to finish in the Top 15 and move on to Las Vegas, placing 7th overal. In Vegas, he was one of the many to fall on the Silk Slider.
Dorian did not compete in American Ninja Warrior 7, but he did test in San Pedro for fun. He has not competed since, although he attempted to apply for American Ninja Warrior 8, American Ninja Warrior 10, and American Ninja Warrior 11. Despite rumors stating he competed in American Ninja Warrior 14, he actually did not compete in that season either, having working behind the scenes with the designers.
