American Ninja Warrior 10's Captain's Wheel in Philadelphia

American Ninja Warrior 10's Captain's Wheel in Philadelphia

The Captain's Wheel is an obstacle, firstly introduced as the eighth obstacle during Philadelphia finals on American Ninja Warrior 10.

It consisted of two steering wheels, each with 12 spikes surrounding it and one of the spikes was much longer than the other 11 spikes. The second wheel was placed perpendicular to the first wheel.

After completing the Salmon Ladder, competitors must grab a waiting bar in front of them. Then, they must reach the first wheel and rotate it (in a similar fashion to the Roulette Cylinder) until its longest spike could be locked onto the post. From there, they must traverse the longest spike (with a set of handles at the end of it), and then made the transition to the second wheel. On the second wheel, they must do the same process as the first wheel, and after its longest spike could be locked onto the post, they must traverse the longest spike to make the dismount to the landing platform.

Overall, 12 competitors reached the obstacle, and 6 competitors fell on the obstacle, giving the obstacle a 50% completion rate. Interestingly, among the six competitors who failed on this obstacle, four of them were male rookies who failed on the Lightning Bolts during Philadelphia qualifiers: Lucas Reale, Zach Day, Gavin Ross, and Angel Rodriguez. The other two competitors were female veterans that completed the qualifier round: Michelle Warnky and Allyssa Beird. However, due to the fifth obstacle becoming the cut off for the top 15 competitors in the Philadelphia finals, all competitors that attempted the obstacle advanced to Las Vegas national finals.

Ninja Warrior Germany 4's Captain's Wheel

Ninja Warrior Germany 4's Captain's Wheel

In Ninja Warrior Germany 4, Captain's Wheel, locally called Steuerrรคder (literally Steering Wheels) appeared as the fourth obstacle of Semifinals Qualification 4 and 5, directly following the Salmon Ladder. A lache bar was added before and after the obstacle.

Ninja Warrior Germany 5's Captain's Wheel

Ninja Warrior Germany 5's Captain's Wheel

In Ninja Warrior Germany 5, the Captain's Wheel appeared as the fourth obstacle in Stage Two, which was very similar to the one used in in American Ninja Warrior 10's Philadelphia finals, except another waiting bar was added at the end. Only two out of 15 competitors failed this obstacle.

Ninja Warrior Germany: Four Nations Special 2's Captain's Wheel (Steuerrรคder)

Then, in Ninja Warrior Germany: Four Nations Special 2, the Captain's Wheel appeared as the fourth and penultimate obstacle in the Second Stage. This time, several spikes of one half of the second wheel were missing, leaving only one spike on that half. This on the other hand resulted in the fact that after competitors rotated the wheel until its longest spike could be locked onto the post, they would be required to perform a lock-off and pull themselves up on this sole spike to finally reach the longest spike.

Out of 12 athletes who attempted it, five of them failed it by failing the aforementioned transition from the sole spike, including all three Team Japan competitors who competed on this stage, namely Tada Tatsuya, Kawaguchi Tomohiro, and Morimoto Yลซsuke.

Ninja Warrior Germany 7's Captain's Wheel

On Ninja Warrior Germany 7, Captain's Wheel appeared as the seventh obstacle of Preliminary Round 3.

Ninja Israel[]

Ninja Israel 4's Captain's Wheel

In Ninja Warrior Israel 4, the Captain's Wheel, literally translated as ื”ื’ื” ื”ืงืคื˜ืŸ appeared as the fifth obstacle in Heats 1, 5 and 9. Unlike American Ninja Warrior 10, before reaching the first wheel, competitors must pass through a set of four hooks with two rings (similar to the Sky Hooks, but with a movement akin to Ring Toss), except that each hook is on the alternate opposite side, and from the last ring they must make a transition to the first wheel. This made the obstacle very brutal, as it eliminated eight out of 14 competitors who attempted it.
