Would-be warriors went head-to-head with professional Ninjas at the Obstacle Sports Expo at North Harbour recently.
Sam Roberts, better known as “Spider Sam” on this year’s season of Australian Ninja Warrior, Nathan “Burlinator” Burles and Alicia Prosser were among the Ninjas showcasing their talents at the event, which was the first of its kind in the country.
Australian Federation of Obstacle Sports president Dan Andrikis says the event was designed to show people of all abilities could get involved and give it a go.
“We really wanted to show everyone that there is a lot more to Obstacle Sports than the popular show on TV,” Dan says.
