What is Xtreme Home run?

Xtreme Home Run is a series of Cyber events where barrel racers can set up and video themselves from home, then watch all entries on live feed. It was created in lieu of the 2020 shutdowns that left many races and events canceled. Videos submitted will be webcast live. Every video submitted will be shown on a live feed and be announced by our Xtreme announcer! This will be as close to an Xtreme event as possible while running at our Home arenas.

4. Video your run. Be sure to have someone videoing at the timer line with the timer/stopwatch (can be a phone stopwatch) visible while you start and complete your run. Your entire run must be in the video. Your run must be within the open entry time and can only be submitted once. Please don’t try to submit it from a different time we will be able to tell with the time stamp on your video. Do not start or stop the video more than 2 seconds before and after your run. We will have a best dressed award so get dressed up and have fun!

tips to center your pattern (watch video for more details):

• Find center of your arena.

 

• Place 3rd barrel centered in the arena.

 

• From 3rd barrel, measure 70’ straight down the arena.

 

• Measure 30’ in each direction from the center. This will help give you an idea of where the 1st and 2nd barrels will be.

 

• Continue on to measuring from 3rd Barrel to 1st and 2nd and then from 1st Barrel to 2nd Barrel.

 

• Place the barrels on the inside of the markers.

 

• Measure 25’ from 1st and 2nd Barrel for the start/finish line, mark with object and draw line.
