Hey y'all, I need some help. In this video you'll see one of my original obstacle creations. It's a balance obstacle where you have to rotate a balance beam while standing on it. My current name for the obstacle is the Skateboard Beam, however I'm not really a fan of that name. Does anyone have a good idea for what the name of this obstacle should be?

The overall function makes me think of a clock rotating from 12:00 to 6:00. I was th+inking something along the lines of 12-6 Cross(ing)/Beam

Pivot Bridge? Because you have to pivot the bridge around to do the obstacle...that's what I have

I got a pirate feel.. walking the plank.. LOL
So the point is that it's set in one direction.. you go to the middle and to get across you need it to be facing the other direction so you coax it across.. will it be on something? is it a body of water that it's over? Will it be on rails since it can't be on the ground? Sorry if I'm overthinking this but because the rigging holding this could be created in the theme (like a huge compass or a ship deck or something else) you may want to think how it's set up then come up with a name. That's how we got stuff like the rolling escargo (the rigging itself is what gave it the name and not the disk you roll on).

So the rotation point would be placed on a column surrounded by water. The part of the beam that touches the ground would rest on a rail. The rail could have gaps or elevated sections on it. In addition, you could set the obstacle up to make people have to rotate 90 or 270 degrees.
