- Barrel jumping in the United States was popularized by ["speed skaters"]. Speed skaters entertained crowds prior to and after speedskating competitions by jumping the barrels laid out to outline the race course. The sport soon took on a life of its own in the 1920s. According to ["Ed Lamy"], longtime holder of the barrel jumping record (27 feet 8 inches), flour barrels measuring two feet in diameter were used. In order to safely clear all barrels, it was necessary to take off at least a foot from the first barrel and to land a foot or more beyond the last barrel to avoid tumbling. However distance was only measured from the first barrel to the last barrel. The daring gentlemen of the early days of barrel jumping competed without any protective equipment.	+ Barrel jumping in the United States was popularized by ["Speed Skating" speed skaters].
