+Veronica Gonzalez I was ohhhh no ohhh no...when I ran hurdles a girl kicked me cuz of that and every hurdle of mine she shock them I got dead last I almost killed her
He's not really teaching them the technique of a hurdler. Decathletes, steeplechase runners, and the 400 meter hurdles are done differently than the 100 meter hurdles. Fun video though.
I'm guessing the people commenting that you don't have to "do" to coach, have never had gym teachers who were out of shape. It's frustrating having some tell you you're doing poor in a subject they can't even attempt, such as running a mile.
But yeah I'm 6'1 14 with long legs and I learned how to do hurdles in 2 weeks, these people are jumping over it you're not supposed to jump you're supposed to kinda run through it and keep your stride I guess... Not run through it and hit it but.... This shits hard to explain
Thanks for another fun video Buzzfeed! I always enjoy hearing the groups feedback from these styles of video but this one I particularly enjoyed Izzys' insight at the end highlighting the inequality in the olympics.
hurdles was my thing back in my athlete years... I still can remember the rush before the competition because you can never know what's going to happen... they're at certain distance that's standar for everyone and that makes it a little tricky
I used to do hurdles when I was in high school and I miss it so much! The technicality of it is so much fun and considering that I'm only 5'1 makes it more fun bc people don't expect it lol
buzzfeed get ur facts right, runners don't have to jump over the hurdles, everyone does it coz it's faster and safer then breaking through it which is allowed.
Lead leg should be whatever straightness results in the quickest time getting it back down to the track. Straightness is not the goal...getting the lead leg back down to the track the fastest is the goal. The more time you spend in the air results in a slower race.
Drew doesn't have very good form. He jumps way too high and loses momentum that's needed to maintain speed to the next hurdle. Ideally, the hips would only move vertically a few inches while the upper body crouches down to keep the cg low.
Hearing people had track and field in middle school. I wish I had that. I started during HS sophomore year and really wish I was exposed to it(long/triple/high jump) earlier. Going into Senior year. Will strive to do better/ be the best. ;)
A "Regular People Try The Steeplechase" would be an even more interesting video! Steeple is shown at 0:56 and it's very different from the 100m hurdles or 400m hurdles because of the larger and immovable barrier. If your foot catches on the barrier, it won't collapse like a hurdle -- you'll go down! The 3,000m steeplechase is 7 1/2 laps totalling 28 barriers including the best part... the water pit.
as someone who has done hurdles for 2(almost 3 years) years, and made it to the junior Olympics (competition at national level for those not old enough to compete in normal Olympics) I find this video very entertaining.
WHERE ARE ALL OF THE TRACK ATHLETES AT ?
Right here
What events do u do. I do 100m 200m and Shot put
100m 200m 400m long jump what are your times and how old ? :)
I do long jump and 200m and 300m
5 years ago, I was a 110 and 300 hurdler and 400m runner. I miss those days.
Watching hurdle runs at the olympics already makes me tired enough
Same
same
same
same
same?
Hurdle tip: try to jump as low as possible without touching the hurdle to waste less time and gain more speed on the race.
Yeah I learned this the hard way when I went dead last in the 110m hurdles in my school's track team
You don't really jump over it otherwise you lose speed in between.
More of a long stride.
+Frezzo yeah I always just hopped over them and kept wondering why I was always last
hurdle tip: be a ghost and run right through it.
Hurdle tip: you're not supposed to jump
REGULAR PEOPLE DO REGULAR THINGS ON A REGULAR DAY REGULARLY
😂
....
best comment😂
so regular SHAWN MENDES LIVE (NEW SONGS hold on+like this) ON MY CHANNEL!!
upload of a vid of you doing this regular thing on a regular day, I'd enjoy watching it :D
A hurdling video comes out, all of a sudden everyone is a hurdler
You fired so many of your employees I don't know who the hell the people in the videos are anymore
We know of about ten. Buzzfeed has way more than ten employees.
I feel like the videos have changed as well. I used to watch buzz feed everyday...
Who was fired and why?
Maybe they just decided they didn't want to do videos anymore...
Who was fired so far
Brittany and Ashley 😭😭😭
whitest celebration i have ever seen 3:32
😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂
i agree with u even though im white
you made me spit out my water
Lol
Omg 😹
They dodge hurdles the same way I dodge my responsibilities xD
They don't dodge hurdles, they jump over and overcome the hurdles. I think this is a sign, telling you to complete your responsibilities.
Regular people drink a glass of water
+ThatGuyWithThePackersJersey no they meant like as a video. It's a joke.
That's really dangerous
no they could get killed wyd!!1!!1!!!1
I haven't done that in years
Uhh, lol I drink a glass of water ever day.
The coach is so chill!
I was dead when they kicked the Asian girl out after the practice round
nice profile pic
+Andrea Gildart ikr
ohhhh nooo we need more lemon pledge
+Andrea Gildart no no no... No no , no no no
I'm pretty sure she was still in, they just didn't show her face after that
"i havent been athletic in 5 years" same, brother
HARAMBE
Same I'm 5 years old
Anna Yang what the hell are you doing on UA-cam
the Asian lady still kept on swinging her foot around 😂
I noticed that too it was annoying me 😂
+Veronica Gonzalez I was ohhhh no ohhh no...when I ran hurdles a girl kicked me cuz of that and every hurdle of mine she shock them I got dead last I almost killed her
Veronica Gonzalez it was annoying me too
When?
Daniel Wong the whole video...
I THOUGHT THEY WERE JUMPING OVER KEYBOARDS AT THE BEGINNING WTF
CultureCrash same lmao
As a hurdler, i am cringing
as a hurdler I'm laughing like crazy😂😂
I'm not a hurdler but I have hurdled before and it's actually really easy and even I'm cringing
as your doctor, ive diagnosed you with butthurt aids
as a distance runner.... I just go into another lane... and keep running.
im a thrower and even i'm cringing
0:52 i just got the worst secondhand embarrassment
She like the type of person in school who reminds the teacher about homework haha 😂
Rofl, true.
why?
"Their like fwaaaaha!..." lol adorable
Honestly, if Buzzfeed put Eugene in front of a camera and just recorded him breathing, I would watch it.
IKR
ALSO HI PHAM
+mackst HEYYYYY PHANDOM
Who else does hurdles 🙋🏾
🙋🏽
I think life is a pretty big hurdle
Me
Me!
yuhh
😂😂😂😂 And I made fun of the Olympians that couldn't clear all 1 million of their hurdles!!
Wow! Only 253 views!
+Ayan Ujer over a million views
He's not really teaching them the technique of a hurdler. Decathletes, steeplechase runners, and the 400 meter hurdles are done differently than the 100 meter hurdles. Fun video though.
agreed
also agreed
As an athlete I confirm this
agree.
Can you explain the major differences? I'm very intrigued by hurdling with just how unnatural it looks to me.
Harambe was a hurdler
a God.
U didn't even know him
I live on in spirit.
+Harambe omg ily
Imerria peoples "ily" you too.
Im in varsity track and feild, and lemme tell you hurdles are way harder than they look.
that does help a lot
The "hurdle expert" was such a cool guy.
Like for harambe.
dude just stop
Don't disrespect the god
I get ur point
dicks out for harambe!
Hurdles are the best! By far one of the funniest and funnest track events.
I LOVE hurdles. Did them in track, it's my favorite event. Jumping over things just comes naturally to me I guess lol but it takes practice too
I wanted to see that "Hurdle Expert" do some hurdling himself lol riiiiiight.
He probably retired from physical activity
Yes, to "have done" matters (as he clearly said he did), but to actively "do", does not...
I'm guessing the people commenting that you don't have to "do" to coach, have never had gym teachers who were out of shape. It's frustrating having some tell you you're doing poor in a subject they can't even attempt, such as running a mile.
Seems easy for tall people lol
Or people with long legs
Maybe but long body is harder to cooperate lol
Actually it's usually easier for smaller people
+IJ hsjnshdjsnjsjnsjsjd no he's faster than you lol 2-3 seconds is a lot
But yeah I'm 6'1 14 with long legs and I learned how to do hurdles in 2 weeks, these people are jumping over it you're not supposed to jump you're supposed to kinda run through it and keep your stride I guess... Not run through it and hit it but.... This shits hard to explain
Daaaamn buzzfeed! Back at it again making normal things seem extravagant!
the guy who was teaching them was so sweet + supportive !
I was in track for 2-3 years and jumping over hurdles for those years o find this hilarious! 😂
Damn that dude looks like he superglued chocolate chips to his neck
Skin tags
lol
It's called a keloid
"average people" uses unathletic people who sit inside all day
believe it or not, that's the average person in the US
Andie K I know, it's sad.
+Andie K These people have jobs to do, which involves editing. And there is no way you can expect them to be experts at what they are doing.
Jojo ホモ multiple of them said "I haven't excersised in years" idk about you but my job doesn't prohibit me from exercise.
As a 110m High Hurdler...this is so cringeworthy
even the actual athlete was awful. what was that about
+Taylor Sanders he looked like he didn't want to be there!!
matthew benz 😂😂😂
I'm a hurdler in track. Is anyone else?
meeee
yas. then I screwed up a tendon on our uneven field
me ig
I was. I fell way too many times, probably because I'm short and not very fast, so I quit :P
Meeee
Thanks for another fun video Buzzfeed! I always enjoy hearing the groups feedback from these styles of video but this one I particularly enjoyed Izzys' insight at the end highlighting the inequality in the olympics.
that is legit, me right there at 3:26
Sometimes you just can't win
hurdles was my thing back in my athlete years... I still can remember the rush before the competition because you can never know what's going to happen... they're at certain distance that's standar for everyone and that makes it a little tricky
"I haven't been athletic for like 5 years" MEEE 😂
hurdling is fucking painful
Ikr
Its legit murder on the shins
+HardCoreCAGaming cringe
+Lugit36 I hate aching shins
TheEnglishMuffin no you're doing it wrong then
I'm the bomb at hurdles tbh
Same!
Same!
Same!
+Ayan Ujer lmao me too
Wow! Only 8 comments
I loved watching them run in between the two hurdles! They all took little baby mouse steps 😂
Wtf he ain't even going over the hurdles right
right that form is ugh
Ikr
I was looking for this comment
+jackie ibarra no I mean the "professional" or whatever he was that demonstrated for them
sameee exact thoughts. smh
I used to do hurdles when I was in high school and I miss it so much! The technicality of it is so much fun and considering that I'm only 5'1 makes it more fun bc people don't expect it lol
Hurdle tip: be a ghost and run right through it
Thanks!
Omg thank you really helped 😂😂
Regular people ? You misspelled buzzfeed members.
they're still regular people though.
They aren't still regular people, they're out of shape buzzfeed members.
that professional dude is so damn tall ._.
this coach is just the nicest person
The instructor used to run hurdles.Now he eats them.
Anyone else cringing at the decathlete's form?
Yup
+Darth Hury THANK you
I mean, he can clear the hurdles and he seems to do it pretty well; some people do things differently.
drew fine af
that decathelete is trash
THATS WHAT I SAID
buzzfeed get ur facts right, runners don't have to jump over the hurdles, everyone does it coz it's faster and safer then breaking through it which is allowed.
what
+Gabi-rose
0:18 they don't have to jump over the hurdles
Where in the world did u get the fact you can break through them?
+Alexander Johns No it doesn't
What's up with Darrell's neck? 0.0

Burying the popular comment...
Yep, skin tags
+Panic! At The Crybabies 21 Piløts ok then...
+GlitchBoy AKA what are skin tags?

Zalkary OH IM SORRY, THEY ARE GETTIN OUT OF IDEAS

AKA regular people jump to their deaths while screaming their heads off.
You want them to die?
You guys should do a lot of track and field event videos!
I remember we used to have to do this in school and I was SO scared to fall on my face and would run around
#0:52
"There so fast!They're like FWAAA"
LMAO
I was always taught that the lead leg was supposed to be straight..
It is supposed to be straight
i think he just wanted them to be able to clear the hurdles
same, where we would make a sitting motion over the hurdles i learned it freshmen year of highschool
The lead leg is not supposed to be straight. You need to drive your knee over the hurdle. Keeping your straight could lead to knee injuries
Lead leg should be whatever straightness results in the quickest time getting it back down to the track. Straightness is not the goal...getting the lead leg back down to the track the fastest is the goal. The more time you spend in the air results in a slower race.
i loved that woman that hit the hurdle we could be friends we have so much in common
They should do buzzfeed members try marching band
Drew doesn't have very good form. He jumps way too high and loses momentum that's needed to maintain speed to the next hurdle. Ideally, the hips would only move vertically a few inches while the upper body crouches down to keep the cg low.
that is wat i was thinking
Liking this video just because of the Drew guy 😍😂
I remember having to do hurdles back in Kindergarten, they were actually pretty fun
regular people ?!??!!
*triggered*
As a track and field athlete myself, the man who was the 'example' had no idea what he was doing.
They should've raced! Wtf buzzfeed even I have better ideas!
drew will be running hurdles through my mind all day
If you want to get a taste of hurdles, have them do lead leg and trail leg drills xD
Love that drew got 1 scene intro and that was it.
but could coach Darrell Smith jump those hurdles now? mmmmm! lol
Hearing people had track and field in middle school.
I wish I had that.
I started during HS sophomore year and really wish I was exposed to it(long/triple/high jump) earlier.
Going into Senior year. Will strive to do better/ be the best. ;)
Buzzfeed I'm warning you now
Exo is releasing lotto in a few hours and Exo-L will spam
yes we will, lol
true HAHAHA
Sad but trueee
Allie Ka-Zam why sad?
Min Ah Annoying kpop spam lol
That coach is awesome. I always wanted to try hurdles.
I have bad memories with hurdles 😅
As a hurdler, this was absolutely hilarious
Izzy was really annoying tbh
ikr
Is she the girl w/ the singlet on
this is honestly funny to watch coming from someone's who does hurdles for my track team but I understand the struggle lol
0:54
A "Regular People Try The Steeplechase" would be an even more interesting video! Steeple is shown at 0:56 and it's very different from the 100m hurdles or 400m hurdles because of the larger and immovable barrier.

I love doing hurdles. Its funny because nobody else in my class likes it.
I'm only liking because I love doge
+PokemonFire799 DOGE POWER
I used to love doing hurdles!
I was the fastest hurdler in my track and field and this is very funny to watch
I love how the guy with the hat just screams EVERY TIME he jumps
The coach had a lot of skin tags lol maybe Dr. Sandra Lee can help with that lol
(this is a joke lol don't take this to heart)
i was gonna comment the same thing.
+Moon Child if that actually happened I would definitely watch the video! (If he consents) lol
lmao xD
+DENİZ ÜNLÜ haha I don't use it all the time it just happened that they were in each sentence :P meh...
I used to do quite a lot of sprinting when I was younger and someone recommended I try hurdling. I’ll never do it again.
Buzzfeed employees are the most unathletic people ever.
I love hurdles so much, they're so fun omg.
whats the name of the ucla dude??
Their names are in the video
Drew Huusfeldt
I loove hurdles their sooo fun, my favorite part of track and field!
So...these people did not have hurdles at school?

If I had hurdles in school I would not be in school
Alyssa Roupas
Yup for gym class ^^
InTerAct i don't know any school around my area that does hurdles for gym
Alyssa Roupas
So where do you live? Which continent? I think at least in parts of Europe it's fairly popular.
Im a track runner and i do hurdles, 400 meters,800 meters,long jump,high jump,1 mile,and 4 by 1
Who is watching this in bed with socks on their heads?
you
Can't relate
So you're wearing a condom in bed, watching Buzzfeed?

head wrap lol
as someone who has done hurdles for 2(almost 3 years) years, and made it to the junior Olympics (competition at national level for those not old enough to compete in normal Olympics) I find this video very entertaining.
Even the coaches are fat in America.
