American Ninja Warrior debuted 11 new obstacles in season 12. The new challenges ranged from balance obstacles to grueling upper body gauntlets. One, the season 11 Obstacle Design Challenge Winner, was even designed by another Ninja, Josh Norton.
Now that we’ve had a chance to see all the new obstacles in action over the Qualifiers, Semi-Finals, and Finals, let’s hear it! For each new obstacle, tell us do you love it or would you leave it? Do you like it on the course? Do you think it should be thrown in the nearest dumpster?
For each obstacle listed below, there’s a poll underneath the photo. If you don’t see the poll, you can always share your thoughts in the comments section. In fact, even if you do see the polls, we’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments section.
Let’s start with the Qualifiers.
