Location: Somewhere around here | Kind of weird question but if you go to jackpots alone and don't know too many people there but you want your run recorded, how do you go about it? I mean I could ask a random stranger on the ground (which I'm scared that they might run off with my phone) or I could ask someone on a horse (which might be unreliable because who knows what the horse might do; aka get antsy, spook, or whatnot). Any ideas? |

Location: Ohio girl moved to PA | I just try and ask someone that ive seen around at the shows before. Even thought you may not know them personally someone there MAY and less of a chance of someone running off with your phone. Just use your better judgement. Or you could always ask someone in the announcers booth/show producer/help to do it. Good luck, i know it can be a struggle sometimes lol |

| Yep, I have no shame in asking a stranger, I look for a mom or dad usually or someone who's videoing the run before me or something.
Just have a secure phone case on your saddle or belt in case you can't find someone. I was at a jackpot once held up for 20 minutes because a gal decided to make a run with her phone in her pocket and lost it. Don't be that gal. |

| Just ask. I can't tell you how many times I've been approached by random strangers and been asked to video them. It's not a big deal and I've never said no. Heck there was one time I had 3 different cameras sitting next to me, lol! |

Location: Southeast Louisiana | I look for someone already videoing with a phone. I ask them if they can get my run, too, and just text it to my phone when thy're done. I give them my number rather than my phone. |

Location: Running barrels or watching nascar | I don't feel comfortable asking and while it is nice sometimes, it's not the end of the world if you don't get videoed. |

Location: NC | Im lucky that my mom runs as well so we usually get each others runs. BUT i was asked randomly at a show during exh if i could video the next girls exh. Not a problem. I dont mind videoing for someone, as long as they arent rude about it |
