Releasing new obstacles is always an exciting thing for me. Seeing them go from a 3D mockup to hanging from someone’s Katana Frame provides such a sweet satisfaction.
Here are the latest releases from AG Ninja:
The Revolver
Price: $1175
Difficulty: Advanced Ninja
Age Range: Teen – Adult
Material: Powder Coated Steel
Body Parts Worked: Biceps, triceps, back, shoulder, grip strength
You’ve seen the rumbling dice and the rotating spindle. Now comes The Revolver. This unique obstacle combines a myriad of challenges that will test the will power of the best athletes. Similar to the rumbling dice, one must do a pull/push motion with both arms on the Revolver rungs to get the heavy piece moving. However, The rungs of this obstacle provide their own challenge as they increase in thickness. Yes, thicker definitely means more difficult!
If you already have rails for a Rumbling Dice, you have the option of purchasing the Revolver as a stand alone obstacle.
The Wishbone
Price: $315 ea.
Difficulty: Advanced Ninja
Age Range: Teen – Adult
Material: Powder Coated Steel, polyurethane grips
Body Parts Worked: Biceps, triceps, back, shoulder, grip strength
It’s hard enough when an obstacle rotates on you, but when it swings and rotates, you have a problem on your hands. The athlete will get to test grip strength, upper body strength, core and the lechè skills with this obstacle. The wishbone is made of a powder coated steel and will include cannon balls on the ends to assist with the grip.
The Tic Toc Bag
Price: $795
Difficulty: Beginner/Intermediate
Age Range: 5 to Adult
Material: Vinyl padding, Powder Coated Steel, plastic base
Body Parts Worked: Biceps, Calfs, Quads
The Tic Toc bag provides a great deal of fun and versatility. A common use is to release from another obstacle and bear hug the bag and fight to hold on as it sways back and forth. So, you will often see a trapeze placed before this obstacle to get some high flying excitement. The soft padding is quite forgiving with it’s 2ft diameter and vinyl covering. The plastic base provides some needed support for foot placement. The obstacle is about 7.5ft tall and 3ft wide
The Cobra
Price: $775
Difficulty: Intermediate
Age Range: 8 to Adult
Material: Powder Coated Steel
Body Parts Worked: Biceps, back
Like a slithering Cobra, this obstacle rolls up and down and finishes with a climb to the raised head. Participants simply walk their hands along the back of The Cobra and try their best to avoid the venom! This obstacle works upper body and grip strength and would be considered intermediate level. Included are the rolling poles, mounting sticks and hardware.
The Flying Monkey
Price: $675 ea.
Difficulty: Intermediate/Advanced
Age Range: 12 to Adult
Material: Powder Coated Steel, Plastic Veneer
Body Parts Worked: Biceps, back, abs
One of the newest obstacles added to the AG Ninja arsenal not only brings excitement in it’s functionality, but it’s also beautifully crafted with a lot of attention put in to the design. Outside of creating obstacles that are safe and professionally engineered, we really want to focus on designing items that look great. The Flying Monkey does not disappoint!
One of the more popular obstacles from the TV show, the Flying squirrel allows the athletes to get HUGE air while swinging from one to the next. In a structured obstacle training environment, the flying squirrel can be used for a massive age range in that it’s great for training taps/correct swing and release techniques.
When used in a course running environment, this would be considered a high level obstacle for very experienced athletes
