Chapter 117: Rodeo Contest Part II
Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
The first event was naked riding, in which several staff members helped the participating cowboys to ride on the back of manic horses locked in the fence, and the staff outside the fence pulled the rope of the fence gate, ready to open it at any moment. There are also three black-clad and black-hat cowboys on horseback, who are tasked with helping to protect the cowboys and drive the horses back to the fence after the cowboys have completed their maneuvers.
Originally, Wang Hao said that he was confident that this is the competition item, no matter how strong the horse is, he can easily solve any problem in his taming technique, and maybe he can set a world record - the fastest horse taming time. He had a large glass of freshly squeezed juice in his hand, and the ice cubes in it were nothing short of a heat-cursing artifact when he drank it now.
The little ones wore riding boots and cowboy hats, and small sunglasses on their faces, looking very trendy, like little cowboys, sitting there eating popcorn and drinking Coke. And Wang Meng seized the time to take pictures of the three of them, and the three little guys who were so carved in pink and jade must share them in their circle of friends, so that the rest of them will be envious, jealous and hateful.
At this moment, a staff member holding a small orange flag issued an order, and the iron gate was quickly opened, only to see the locked horse jumping out of the iron gate, it kept twisting and jumping, trying to throw off the cowboy riding on its back. The cowboy did his best to keep his balance on the slick and unsaddled horse, and he was only allowed to grasp the reins with one hand, and the other hand had to be in the air, and not to touch the horse or his body.
The advantage of having a few cowboys around is that Wang Hao has a few free commentaries, so he doesn't have to worry about not being able to understand the game. Pete, though with a look on his face, explains: "The cowboy has to hold on to the back of a horse in a volatile state for eight seconds. Half of his score came from his posture, and the other half came from the intense Cheng dรน of the fierce horse's jump. But I think this first player is a bit hanging. The score won't be too high. โ
Eight seconds later, three black-clad cowboys rode up from both sides to meet the contestants. Grab the player and help him get out of the irritable horse. From their chic and free movements, it can be seen that they are all very experienced cowboys. However, the fierce horse did not give the black-clad cowboy a chance to respond, and jumped wildly until he threw the racer to the ground.
The cowboys at the scene were full of a masculine man's smell, and their handsome appearance and athletic posture made those girls scream.
Several of the contestants were so embarrassed by the fierce horses that some even fell on the sand, making the people around them laugh. Pete shook his head and said: "Young people nowadays are getting worse and worse, and it would be good to be in the top five in our era." โ
"You weren't in that long time. You can't ask too much, after all, the current denim work intensity is not so great, and you can't use the previous requirements anymore. And these people should specialize in rodeo, I am afraid it will not work if they are really allowed to drive cattle or nail horseshoes. Wang Hao looked at the game below and felt that it was still very exciting.
Always guessing that the cowboy would be thrown off in a matter of seconds, the non-stop jumping of the fierce horse looks thrilling and makes people's blood pump, this is a man's sport.
The next race was the bull fight, and it was a very thrilling race. Cowboys can get hurt if they're not careful. They need to knock down the calf with their bare hands.
First, the competitors get ready to ride their horses in the enclosure and then signal the staff to release the calves. The fence holding the calf is opened, and a playful calf runs into the arena. When the calf has run a certain distance. The iron gate of the rodeo was opened, and he had to ride a horse to chase the running calf, and when he reached the calf, the racer grabbed the calf's horns with his hand from the horse's back. The upper body leans out of the horse's back and presses down on the calf's back. Force it to slow down.
The racer's legs then break off the horse's back and shovel forward on the ground, forcing the calf to stop like a brake. At this time, the cowboy arms on the playing field burst out with infinite strength. His whole face turned red, and the muscles in his arms bulged slightly. In some places, you can even see green tendons. Grabbing the horns with one hand and the mouth with the other, he forcibly pulled the cow's head to one side, causing the calf to lose its balance and fall to the ground.
These calves also generally weigh hundreds of pounds, and it takes a lot of force to bring them down, which is why this kind of competition is also known as the big man's race. The score in this contest is determined by the time it takes to chase and take down the calves, the shorter the better.
The protesters outside were against these races, leaving calves at the hands of cowboys and being hurt by violence, much to the dismay of animal lovers.
After taking a sip of water, Wang Hao asked, "How many seconds do you guess this cowboy will take?" โ
"For a minute, look at him like that, he can't help but be a little weak, and his strength is not great."
"I think so too, the body is too thin to burst out with too much strength."
These calves often cause great trouble for cowboys, some of whom are often kicked to the ground or lunge at them with their sharp horns. These calves are not burned by a soldering iron and are relatively aggressive.
It's a cowboy festival with shirts and jeans everywhere you look, riding boots and cowboy hats are the most common combination, and it seems that all the cowboys from the nearby ranches are coming together, and of course the residents of the city will not miss this opportunity.
"It's a little boring to watch, I'll go talk to some old friends, can you call me when you leave?" Pete yawned, stood up lazily and walked over to a few old fellows not far away.
Wang Hao watched with relish, and after waving his hand to signal that he could leave, he never took his eyes off the arena at all. These competitions gave him a refreshing feeling that he had never seen these savage and bloody competitions in China before.
The third competition is again riding a fiery horse, called saddle-br, also known as saddle riding. Similar to naked riding, the rider has to balance on the back of a horse that is struggling to jump, but this time the rider is in the saddle. And the parts and postures of the racers are also very different.
But the wonderful Cheng dรน is also no less impressive, which is eye-opening. The SLR in Wang Hao's hand did not stop, these are all precious memories, and he is still waiting to show off to his buddies the life of a local tyrant in Australia, so that the activities that can stimulate men's adrenaline must be enviable.
The excitement of the game climbed again and again, and the audience at the scene was cheering for the players inside, and the three little guys also waved their fists, regardless of what others were saying, and applauded loudly.
After coming here for so long, they can still only understand a few words, and the simplest sentences are understood, not at all like what others say, and there is no language barrier in foreign countries.
The next competition is a difficult team set-up, which will test the teamwork of the cowboys, a tradition that has been passed down from the last century. Two cowboys rode horses to chase the calf from both sides, one of the cowboys on the left first threw a rope to lasso the horns, and then pulled the rope to the left to force the calf to turn left, at this time the cowboy on the right took advantage of the moment when the calf turned left and his butt was facing right, throwing a rope to lassoze the calf's two hind legs.
Cowboys must not only move quickly and accurately, but also have to grasp the timing and cooperate closely to trap the calf. This event is also a time trial, and the shorter the time it takes to catch up and trap the calf, the better. Wang Hao was dazzled by the superb skills of the contestants, he had also set calves in the pasture, but he had never been so easy, almost one at a time.
The sun is getting hotter and hotter, but the competition venue is hot, and after one game after another, the cow bundle appears, which is to test whether the cowboys can keep the cattle in order when herding the cattle, let the naughty calves return to the team, or put them out for vaccination. The procedure of the competition is similar to that of bullfighting. Let the calf run into the arena for some distance, and then the cowboy rides after the running calf.
After catching up with the calf, throw a rope around the calf's neck, and then stop the crotch mount to force the lassoed calf to stop as well. Then he dismounted and ran over to knock the calf to the ground, tying its three legs together.
The last event is the most thrilling bull ride, which is the real attraction, unlike Spanish bullfighting, where competitors have to balance on a rampage of adult bulls and are only allowed to grab the reins with one hand.
This is a very dangerous race because the bull is more violent than the horse and the movement is unpredictable, especially if the player is likely to be injured by the raging bull after landing.
For this reason, there is always a cowboy in a bright red shirt on the field, circling around the bull. Whenever a player falls off the bull's back, he will immediately run in front of the bull to divert the bull's attention and direct the bull towards himself to protect the player who has fallen to the ground.
In between competitions, there is always a dwarf dressed as a clown walking around the arena and putting on some funny show. And before the bull riding game begins, the clown rolls a yellow open barrel to the center of the arena and stands up, then climbs onto the mouth of the barrel and sits on it. At first, Wang Hao thought that the clown was just here to amuse, but after listening to Leonard's explanation, he found out that the clown was also a protector at this time, he used the yellow bucket to attract the bull, and when he was in danger, he got into the bucket to avoid harm.
Time passed imperceptibly, and there were more and more people in the audience, and those who came behind couldn't find a place at all, so they could only stand in the back and enjoy the game. Wang Hao took the empty cup in his hand, but he was too involved in the game and accidentally flattened the cup!
These bulls are also not easy to mess with, and they simply cannot tolerate someone riding on their backs, so they make a series of difficult movements, kicking, jumping, and other movements in the hope of throwing the cowboy off their backs. (To be continued)
