Wicked Wingnuts[]

The obstacle consisted of a supersized version of the Wingnuts/Wingnut Alley.

The competition worked in an elimination fashion. Each competitor was given just one attempt to clear the obstacle in required distance. If they completed it, they moved on the next round (with the distance between the wingnuts being made larger in the next round). If not, they would be eliminated from the competition. The competition continued until only one competitor cleared the required distance in any round or the remaining competitors in any round failed to clear the required distance.
