American Ninja Warrior 6's Piston Road in Stage One
The Piston Road is an obstacle, firstly introduced as the first obstacle in Stage One on American Ninja Warrior 6, replacing the Timbers from the previous season.
Competitors must across six angled piston-shaped steps (in a similar fashion to the Godantobi or Rokudantobi). This obstacle was proven to be extremely easy, as all 90 competitors could complete the obstacle.
