The American Ninja Warrior All Stars special delivered on all the excitement the fans expected. One of the most thrilling skills challenges was the Wicked Wingnuts. The contest started with the Wingnuts spaced 14 feet apart and five Ninjas. By the time we reached 18 feet, only three Ninjas remained.

Ethan Swanson went second. It looked like he’d nailed it.

The Phoenix had his wings on! He flew through the air and also went upside down while clinging to the landing.
