Barrel Wrap
I have never actually seen the barrel wrap.
I have just heard about it, so I do not have a
lot of detailed hints on how to run it.
The gist of the idea is to take a heavy wooden
barrel and nail a thirty foot piece of rope to
onto it. Then a rider lines his bike up
perpendicular to the out stretched rope at the
end of the rope. The rider then takes off with
the rope in one hand. The must ride in tighter
and tighter cirles around the barrel until they
touch the barrel with their out stretched hand
or they commit a fowl.
The rider is fowled out by putting a foot down
after taking off, dropping the rope, or by making
too small of a circle and allowing the wrap to
touch the ground. Upon disqualification the judges
measure the number of wraps and record it. I
guess that it is very rare for a rider to make
enough complete wraps to finish without making
a fowl. If no riders wrap the entire rope around
the barrel the winner is the one who succesfully
completed the most wraps before committing a foul.
After hearing about this game I thought about it a
bit. Seems like it might also make a good rider
passenger game with the passenger holding the rope.
