Spinergy

Spinergy is an obstacle, used as the third obstacle in the Summer Wipeout Zone of Season 5, replacing Frozen Fury from Winter Wipeout. It was interchanged with the Torrential Twisters throughout the rest of the season.

It is a rotating ring contestants have to balance on while avoiding a series of punishing sweeper bars. There are stationary bars attached to the base to keep them from staying at the back of the ring.

Only two contestants cleared this obstacle on their first attempt:

Travis Woiemberghe (S5E12; who later won that episode)
Richard Gutierrez (S5E19)

It was replaced by both the Space Pod of Doom and Dark Side of the Moon in the next season.
