You don't need any form ^
Most of my friends are runners but the ones that aren't think I'm nuts.

These two guy hurdlers with a rivalry did that during our last home meet. The shorter one was...aggravated (to say the least XD)

That wind is horrible. Good thing she stayed on her feet! ^^ I don't do the hurdles, but I watched this one girl from another school trip and fall over one. She finished the race, though, so that I was good, but it looked like it really hurt.

-Dawnfire;


I did that. Had a messed up leg for a week after falling T_T.


I was next to my friend in a 100 hurdle race and her spikes got stuck in the track, so she almost hit her head on the hurdle. I was freaking out because I was next to her! It obviously was not one of my better races. (:

herro der mes amis, i am believe. proud canadian, ottb loving, colt breaking, nfr dreaming. pictured on the left is my racetrack reject, landofmakebelieve, aka molly, moo, shmoo, whatever name comes to mind x] molly is a 10 year old canadian bred thoroughbred mare, and standing at about 16.2hh, we look a little wonky when we chase cans, but la dee da that's alright. molly and i tried several disciplines. i tried desperately to get her to catch on to dressage, but unfortunately, she still has the race bred mind and is all go. however, together we found a discipline which we could both enjoy; western gaming. this summer we started travelling to barrel races locally. our current record on a standard size pattern is 17.314 and we are improving with every run. and to all the low budget barrel racers out there such as myself, a word of advise; chin up darling. you may not have a million dollar mount under your butt, but you and your crossbred, rejected, hard headed, rescue baby can do it. you know why? cause those girls sitting in their custom circle y's, upon shiny, top of the line mounts are full of themselves. they think there's no way they can lose. they get cocky. stay humble, believe in yourself, in your horse, and most importantly ride your little heart out.

It seems all I do is share hurdling stories :P.

One girl swerved into my lane b/c she messed up her steps in the 300. I was...panicked to say the least XD. And another teammate tends to lean when she jumps but we've just taken to separating ourselves in lanes to make sure she doesn't bother me.

Does anyone know how to get rid of a fear after hurting yourself on an event?
I am/was a high jumper untill I really hurt my hip when I landed wrong. Now I am afraid of High Jumping again because of it.
Any ideas on how to get over my fear?

I hurt my back a week ago in high jump. I was scared of the bar, then I completely restarted high jumping.
Start jumping without the bar. When your comfortable with that, put the bar at the height of the mats. After your comfortable with that, raise it 5 centameters at a time.
This worked for me.
