Woodward Copper this summer will take part in Woodward\u2019s inaugural nation-wide \u201cWorld\u2019s Fastest Ninja\u201d competition. The competition at Copper Mountain Resort will take place on Woodward\u2019s WreckTangle obstacle course, which is located through the summer season at the resort.<\/p>\n

The Woodward Copper WreckTangle course will open on June 14. The competition will take place at Woodward Copper as well as at seven other locations throughout the U.S.<\/p>\n

To take part in the competition, WreckTangle participants at sites such as Copper will download the WreckTangle app on their mobile phones. With a Wrecktangle purchase and a radio-frequency identification wristband, participants are automatically qualified and eligible to participate in the competition.<\/p>\n

Using the free app, participant\u2019 times are tracked and ranked on a leaderboard within the app. The app uses a cloud-based timing and video system paired with the wristband worn by participants, one that measures individual progression and tracks timing and top performers across all of the U.S. Using the app, participants can view and share videos of their WreckTangle runs on social media. The competition begins May 24 and goes through Oct. 31. The World\u2019s Fastest Ninjas will be crowned on November 1. Winners will be crowned by age category as well as by the fastest at rach WreckTangle location as well as the world\u2019s fastest overall male and female.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s WreckTangle course will include the following new features:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Licorice Bridge: Three connected, suspended, swinging tire strips that the ninja must navigate, testing his or her balance.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Climbing Wall: Two clear, acrylic suspended climbing wall panels with climbing holds of various levels, gaps and distances that ninjas must scale across.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Trampoline Jump: Using two trampolines, the ninja must clear a center triangle wedge of varying heights to a raised landing platform.<\/p>\n

Also new in 2019, the WreckTangle competition will debut coaching programs, professional ninja appearances, local weekly events and local end-of-season WreckTangle Championships.<\/p>\n

The inspiration for the name \u201cWreckTangle\u201d comes from the rectangular shape of the rig and the fact that falling is okay when traversing the course. Each WreckTangle has 10 obstacles including a warped-wall finish.<\/p>\n

\u201cWreckTangle is an extension of Woodward\u2019s mission to empower and inspire the next generation of action sports through intuitive programming and innovative environments,\u201d Wade Martin, co-president of POWDR, which owns Woodward, said in a statement. \u201cWreckTangle is a fun Woodward experience for kids and adults and is a challenging yet accessible introduction to what Woodward is all about.\u201d<\/p>\n

Other WreckTangle locations include Ocean City, Maryland, Woodward West in Tehachapi, California, Woodward PA in Woodward, Pennsylvania and Bend, Oregon, which is offered in collaboration with Mount Bachelor.<\/p>\n
