Last of the Barrel Jumpers (8 solid minutes of gluteal injuries)

Great video from last night's E:60. Long before Donkey Kong, there was an era of sports history in which people thought it was good idea to line up barrels on an ice rink, and try to jump over them. Emphasis on 'try'. All your favorite Barrel Jumpers and barrel-jumper groupies are here, in addition to an outstanding video-game cameo around the 4 minute mark. Why don't they still do this???

Love it. I can jump over 23 barrels.

is the video of that on line where we can see it?

This is the sort of thing that needs to be brought into the Olympics.

Its a little more applicable than say... Bridge. http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9C02E3D8133EF934A3575AC0A9649C8B63

They needed to ask him what his high score at DK was.
