American Ninja Warrior 11's Barrel Roll in Seattle-Tacoma
The Barrel Roll is an obstacle, firstly introduced as the third obstacle on American Ninja Warrior 11 in Seattle-Tacoma.
It consisted of two large cylinders, each with handles to hold on. Competitors must jump from the trampoline and grab the handles on the first cylinder. Then, they must build enough swing and momentum to reach a handle at the left side of the second cylinder. From there, they must climb up the next handles to reach a handle at the top-right side of the second cylinder. Finally, they must make a momentum to roll the right side of the cylinder in a counter-clockwise direction and time their release to make the dismount to the landing platform.
A total of 17 competitors failed on this obstacle during Seattle-Tacoma qualifiers, including Rose Wetzel, Larissa Cottle, and Tim Schnee. During Seattle-Tacoma finals, no competitor fell on the obstacle.
