An outdoor arena set up with a line of barrels. First competitor jumps the barrels and makes it. Twelve barrels are lined up but this skater catches his blade on the last barrel. This is a good shot of a skater jumping the twelve barrels and succeeding. Another skater attempts the jump, he clears the barrels but ends up on his back. Another jumper clears the barrels but once again he lands on his rear end. The last jumper clears 15 barrels and is awarde a throphy frome "King of the Jumpers - Terrance Brown of Detroit".
