Balance Bridge

Balance Bridge (バランスブリッジ) was a First Stage obstacle from SASUKE 11. It was very similar to Yureru Hashi, only this obstacle's axis was not centered. Also, there was a bar running across the entire length of the bridge and a bar across as well, forcing competitors to hop over it. It only took out Suzuki Yasukata and Akiyama Kimihiro, possibly the reason it was replaced by Ipponbashi in SASUKE 12.

There was a confusion over its naming as in the blueprint, this obstacle is referred as Quarter Bridge (クオーターブリッジ). This was more evident in SASUKE 13 Trials, as it was referred as such in the Trials.

American Ninja Warrior
The Balance Bridge appeared as the third obstacle on American Ninja Warrior 6 in Dallas and American Ninja Warrior 7 in Venice Beach, and was called as the Tilting Table.

However, the obstacle was proven to be much brutal than in SASUKE 11, as several competitors failed to maintain the step and balance. This obstacle was also notable for injuring Nika Muckelroy's shoulder during Dallas qualifiers and Brian Kretsch's knee during Venice Beach qualifiers severely. In Brian Kretsch's case, he was still able to continue the run, before going out on the Hourglass Drop.

The Tilting Table also slightly injured Sam Sann's ankle during Dallas qualifiers as well (similar to what happened during American Ninja Warrior 5's Denver qualifiers, when he injured his ankle while dismounting from the Grip Hang). However, unlike Nika Muckelroy, he was able to continue the run and eventually, finished the course and made all the way to Las Vegas national finals.

SASUKE Ninja Warrior Indonesia
On SASUKE Ninja Warrior Indonesia, the Balance Bridge (called as the Balancing Bridge) appeared as the fourth obstacle during Semifinal Stage 1. However, unlike in SASUKE 11 and American Ninja Warrior, the obstacle was proven to be extremely easy, as no competitor failed on this obstacle.
