In New York, the 8th Annual Barrel Jumping Championship tests the mettle of top skaters. That long leap is no trouble, but when they come down - ouch! Outside ice skating arena, sport spectators are all bundled up. First skater takes a try at clearing 14 barrels, he almost makes it, he hits the 14th barrel with his skate. The next skater misses the barrel jump by two. Another jumper and another all-most made it. By the way he is skating you think he will make it, but another disappointment he misses by one. A skater wearing the number 1 gets enough speed and he makes it, clean and clear.
