The First part of the skills competition consisted of a Giant Peg Board where each of the four athletes chosen to take on this obstacle, would have one minute to clear as many sections on the peg board as possible while moving clockwise around it. The Giant Peg Board was shaped like a giant clock that was divided into 12 sections.

'''T'''he Second part of the skills competition consisted of the Supersonic Shelf Grab where each of the four athletes chosen to take on this obstacle, would jump off a mini-tramp catch themselves on a small shelf that has just a two-inch ledge and then lache a certain distance and catch themselves on a second shelf that also has a two-inch ledge with just their fingertips. Each of them had one attempt they would get eliminated if they came up short. The competition began with the distance between the two shelves at 9 ½ feet compared to the actual Flying Shelf Grab's distance which is 8 ft and it will increase each time two or more competitors finish the jump.

==='''Supersonic Shelf Grab'''===
  +
The obstacle consisted of a supersized version of the [[Flying Shelf Grab]], with a much larger distance between the shelves, requiring competitors to build a much bigger swing and momentum to make the transition from the first shelf to the second shelf.
   
  +
The competition worked in an elimination fashion. Each competitor was given just one attempt to clear the obstacle in required distance. If they could complete it, they would move on the next round (with the distance between the shelves being made larger in the next round). If they couldn't complete it, they would be eliminated from the competition. The competition continued until only one competitor could clear the required distance in any round, the required distance had reached the maximum point for safety reasons, or the remaining competitors in any round failed to clear the required distance.

The obstacle consisted of a supersized version of the [[Jump Hang]], with a much larger distance between the trampoline and cargo net, requiring competitors to build a much bigger bounce from the trampoline to reach the cargo net.

The competition worked in an elimination fashion. Each competitor was given just one attempt to clear the obstacle in required distance. If they could complete it, they would move on the next round (with the cargo net being placed further in the next round). If they couldn't complete it, they would be eliminated from the competition. The competition continued until only one competitor could clear the required distance in any round, the required distance had reached the maximum point for safety reasons, or the remaining competitors in any round failed to clear the required distance.

Skills Competition

Giant Pegboard

The obstacle consisted of a circular pegboard, divided into 12 equally-size segments, with 15 holes in each segment.

Each competitor was given 60 seconds to clear as many segments as possible, by traversing the pegboard in clockwise direction. Whoever traverse the most segments, he/she would be the champion.

Competitors

① Ben Melick
② Jessie Graff
③ David Campbell
④ Brian Arnold

Supersonic Shelf Grab

The obstacle consisted of a supersized version of the Flying Shelf Grab, with a much larger distance between the shelves, requiring competitors to build a much bigger swing and momentum to make the transition from the first shelf to the second shelf.

The competition worked in an elimination fashion. Each competitor was given just one attempt to clear the obstacle in required distance. If they could complete it, they would move on the next round (with the distance between the shelves being made larger in the next round). If they couldn't complete it, they would be eliminated from the competition. The competition continued until only one competitor could clear the required distance in any round, the required distance had reached the maximum point for safety reasons, or the remaining competitors in any round failed to clear the required distance.
