Spinning Bowties

The Spinning Bowties is an obstacle, firstly introduced as the second obstacle on American Ninja Warrior 10 in Philadelphia.

It consisted of two bowtie-shaped wheels, each with peg-shape handles on its front end. Competitors must jump from the springboard and grab the handles. Then, they must build enough enough momentum to grab the next handles on the second wheel (in a similar fashion to the Fly Wheels or Flying Squirrel), and finally made the dismount to the landing platform.

During Philadelphia qualifiers, the obstacle eliminated 17 competitors, including Kevin Liang, Daria Beird, and Perry Madison. However, no competitor failed on this obstacle during Philadelphia finals.

Ninja Warrior Poland
On Ninja Warrior Poland 4, Spinning Bowties appeared as the fourth obstacle in the final stage one. Compared to the American Ninja Warrior 10, the bowties were pointed slightly diagonally. The obstacle turned out to be extremely difficult as she eliminated 6 competitors. Then, on Ninja Warrior Poland 5, the Spinning Bowties appeared as the fourth obstacle in Heat 3 and 5. In Heat 3 only six competitors cleared this obstacle.
