Barrel Jumping Championship THE WORLD'S BARREL-JUMPING CHAMPIONSHIP AT GROSSINGER'S New York The 9th annual competition, perennial champ Leo Lebel comes through with his 5th straight victory. Funny. Men on ice skates jump rows of barrels, none land on their feet. They slide on the ice into a padded wall while bundled spectators watch. CU of winner. Wipeouts. Bloopers.
