In addition to offering daily sessions throughout the summer, the WreckTangle in Bend will also be organizing weekly competitive events and end-of-season WreckTangle Championships.

The name WreckTangle comes from the rectangular shape of the rig and the fact that falling is okay. Each WreckTangle has ten obstacles, including a warped-wall finish. For 2019, WreckTangle will debut new and enhanced obstacles including:

  • Licorice Bridge — Three connected suspended, swinging tire strips that the ninja must navigate, testing his or her
  • Climbing Wall — Two clear, acrylic suspended climbing wall panels with climbing holds of various levels, gaps and distances that ninjas must scale
  • Trampoline Jump — Using two trampolines, the ninja must clear a center triangle wedge of varying heights to a raised landing

Using the Woodward WreckTangle app, participants can also compete in the World’s Fastest Ninja competition. Ninjas of all ages will compete on the Woodward WreckTangle for the fastest time in their age group, the fastest time by WreckTangle location, or to be crowned 2019’s World’s Fastest Ninja overall. The app uses a cloud-based timing and video system paired with an RFID bracelet worn by participants that measures individual progression and tracks timing and top performers across all U.S. WreckTangle locations. Using the app, participants can also view and share videos of their WreckTangle runs on social media.
