Claim:
A hurdle comprising: a. an at least substantially horizontal upper crossbar having opposing bar ends; b. a first strut descending at least substantially vertically from the crossbar; c. a second strut descending at least substantially vertically from the crossbar, the second strut being spaced from the first strut; d. an at least substantially horizontal lower support leg extending from the first strut at or near the bottom of the first strut, wherein (1) the support leg terminates in a collar rotatably fit about the first strut, (2) the collar is closely situated between a pair of stops radially protruding from the first strut, and (3) the support leg is movable about the axis of the first strut to move into and out of coplanar alignment with the first strut and the crossbar; e. an elastomeric ring extending about the first strut between the collar and one of the stops, whereby the elastomeric ring bears against the collar and resists rotation of the collar about the first strut.
