闡 00 N 0 0 The Cowboy 跏 ort n this era Of big-time, multi-million dollar professional sports, modern athletes seem tO be 1 ore concerned with large contracts than with loyal- ty. lt appears that the great traditions 0f our national sports are bemg lOSt in the face offree-agency, salary arbitration and corporate ownership. Yet, there IS one sport that remams much today as it was a hundred years ago: the rodeo. C ertainly , the rodeo of the 1980 ' s is a highly organized, million- dollar industry itself, yet it continues to carry on one Of the great American tradi- tions, that ofthe cowboy. lndeed, today's rodeo athletes are Of the same breed as the men WhO once rode the frontiers Of the These, are the six 一 or events in the rodeo. Like any athletes, professional cowboys have their specialities. Unlike most athletes , however, rodeo cowboys SaddIe Bronc Riding This is rodeo ' s olde st event , and possibly its most basic. Simply put, a con- testant must attempt tO ride a bucking horse for a full eight seconds, with only one hand allowed to hold the rein. Points are then awarded for the bucking of the mount, and the style, finesse, and ℃ ontrol the cowboy exhibits during the ride. 56 COUNTRY RHYTHMS by John Goff Amerlcan West. Descending from the early American cattle industry, modern rodeo is a well- organized circuit Ofover 600 tournaments stretched across the North Amerlcan con- tinent. Vying for more than eight million dollars in prizes, ten thousand rodeo athletes from the U. S. and Canada com- pete annually in Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA) shows. B ased entrant ' S ShOWin gs the se rodeos throughout the year, the 'PRCA annually awards world championships in each event, along with an all-around world champion. NeedIess to say, being a PRCA world champion is the highest go any rodeo athlete can attam. The Events SO have their favorite animals tO face. Certainly unique to the sport of rodeo is the fact that the rodeo animals are as well- known as the cowboys themselves , and as Bareback Riding Bareback riding is similar to saddle bronc riding, but with one big difference: there are no stirrups and no bronc rems for the rider to hold on to. Therefore, bareback riding appears much wilder than saddle riding. Again, the judging is based on style, spurring action (called 。 'licking' ' ) and control. Today's professional cowboy not only competes in front Of thousands Of spec- tators in the arena, but is Often seen by millions 1 第 ore on television. Because Of the accessibility Of rodeo, due to its visibility on television, and its grass-roots appeal in rura.l Amenca, rodeo now an- nu 記 ly attracts more than ten million spec- tators. Despite the advances made over the years ln prrze moneys, organizatlon Of tournaments, and equlpment used, the rodeo athlete is still a cowboy , and the legendary confrontation remalns the same: 170 pounds of man versus 1800 pounds 0f animal. valuable. A good animal tends to bring out the best in a cowboy, and therefore is worth a considerable amount of interest and money. BuII Riding Bull riding is king in today's rodeo. The event pits the cowboy against a huge bull, which will buck and spin in an ⅲ - credible display of power and agility. After the rider is thrown to the ground, the bull will usually attempt to trample or gore him, making the escape an lmpor- tant part of the event. Judging in bull riding IS similar tO Other riding events, with emphasis on the ability to survive.
