ANW6 Downhill Pipe Drop

American Ninja Warrior 6's Downhill Pipe Drop in Miami

Downhill Pipe Drop is an obstacle, firstly introduced as the second obstacle on American Ninja Warrior 6 in Miami.

Competitors must slide the red pipe down a 14-foot metal track, then time their release to grab the rope, situated 5.5-ft (8-ft in semifinals) away, and then transition to the landing platform to advance.

This obstacle took out notable competitors like Chris DiGangi, Dan Leach, and Desiree Walker during Miami qualifiers. Since there were 42 competitors who completed the Miami qualifiers course, during Miami finals, the rope was placed six inches further than during Miami qualifiers. As a result, the obstacle proved to be more dangerous in the city finals, as it took out 6 competitors. This included Dustin Sanderson, Gabriel Arnold, and Felix Chu. Most shockingly, this obstacle also took out Drew Drechsel, which served as his earliest exit from any Ninja Warrior competition (including SASUKE).

A similar obstacle known as the Big Dipper would later appear as the second obstacle on American Ninja Warrior 7 in Kansas City and American Ninja Warrior 8 in Atlanta, except the track was curved and the rope was replaced with a cargo net.
