American Ninja Warrior - Crashing the Course- Oklahoma City (Digital Exclusive)
Bar Hop was revealed during ANW 8's "Crashing the Course" series as the obstacle featured in Oklahoma City
The Bar Hop is an obstacle, firstly introduced as the fifth obstacle on American Ninja Warrior 8 in Oklahoma City. Competitors would have to use a mini-tramp to reach a bar resting in a cradle, and hopped from one cradle to another, which was 3 feet in distance. Then, they used a waiting bar to transition to another bar, which was 2 feet in distance in a cradle, then hopped to the next cradle, and made the dismount, which was 5 feet away from the landing platform. The dismount was made tricky, because if the competitors didn't swing enough, they would miss the landing platform or touch the water, but if they swang too much, the bar would slide out of the cradle. Also, several competitors failed on this obstacle, because their grip gave out, as they couldn't hang on when the bar spun after hopping. During Oklahoma City qualifiers, 16 out of 25 competitors who attempted it, could complete it (however, Brent Steffensen failed on this obstacle).
In Oklahoma City finals, the gap between both sets of cradles were made bigger, raising the difficulty. Because of that, six competitors failed on this obstacle at that night. This obstacle was also notable for taking out David Campbell (when his foot touched the water while dismounting), made it the first time since American Ninja Warrior 1, that he didn't advance to Mount Midoriyama finals.
American Ninja Warrior 9's Bar Hop in Kansas City
The Bar Hop returned as the fifth obstacle on American Ninja Warrior 9 in Kansas City. This time, the entire obstacle was gradually ascended. It was nearly as difficult as Oklahoma City qualifiers, taking out competitors like Kyle Mendoza and Mitch VeDepo (who failed on this obstacle during Oklahoma City finals). A total of 12 competitors completed the obstacle, out of 25 competitors who attempted it.
