Rodeo Events

In Spanish, rodeo means "round-up" and is also correlated to the time when a group of local cowhands and ranchers had a friendly competition of who could tame the wildest horse and ride the meanest bull. Today, it is a sport in the USA, Canada, Australia/New Zealand, Mexico and South America, and includes events such as bull riding, saddle bronc, barrel racing, team roping, bareback bronc riding, calf roping, steer wrestling, wild cow milking, etc. Questions about rodeo and rodeo events can be asked and answered here.

Do bull riders and rodeo clowns wear a jock and cup?

Both could wear jocks, however the cup is more complex:

Bull Riders: No. The cup would not help, and due to the angle that the bull would hit the cup, it could be more painful.

Rodeo Clowns: Yes, many to wear cups.

Bull riders would only get hurt in their sensitive area after they are thrown from the bull and if one of the bull's hoofs would come right down on their sensitive area. This is very unlikely. However, it is probably something that bull riders fear a lot.

How old does a kid have to be to ride bulls in the rodeo?

The horse can barrel race as soon as it is trained to barrel race. You can start training it once it is ready to ride and take it to barrel races or I know someone who has a barrel racing 4 yr old. It just depends on when the horse is trained to barrel race. So you could have a 10 yr old not ready or a 3 yr old racing an winning!

Salary for a saddle bronc rider?

There is no real "salary." Roughstock riders get paid if they 1) make a ride, and 2) beat the other competitors. Being a roughstock rider is not a way to get a steady paycheck unless you are unbeatable.

What is the average salary of a professional rodeo bullfighter?

The only one who can really answer that is a bull rider. I guess it would depend on how many sponsers he has, how popular he is, how many tickets he sells, and how many shows he does. Most extreme sports get paid alot.

Additional info from different Contributor: First of all, bull riders do not sell tickets. It depends entirely on the skill of the rider and how rank the bull is. (how hard he is to ride) The Judges score the bull and the rider. The combined score is what counts. Combined scores in the 80's and 90's makes you the man to beat.

If you do not cover your bull (ride the full 8 seconds) you are out. If you touch the bull with your free hand, out. Riders make anything from barely cover his expenses to millions annually. To make the big bucks you must consistently cover the bulls you draw, make high scores, draw the best bulls and don't have a career ending injury. The better you get, the more sponsors you can pull to help defray your costs of travel to rodeos, equipment, event fees etc. It's hard as hell and everyone I know does it because they love it, not for the money.

How do you replace an alternator on a 2002 lancer?

Loosen the lugs slightly on the front passenger side of the car. raise the front passenger side of the car and remove the wheel. At the back of the wheel well are two pieces of plastic shrouding. They are held by one or two plastic pins. Using a screwdriver, pry out the center of the plastic pin, it should come all the way out. Then you can pry the outer sheath of the pin out of it's hole. The plastic shrouding can now be pulled out. Don't worry, there is not much to be damaged at this point. Now, make sure your car is stable. Scissor jacks do not mean stable. I admit I did it with a scissor jack, but I would recommend a good jack and a jack stand because you are gonna spend a bit of time under the brake rotor and if the car falls, you're most likely dead. Once the shrouding is removed you should be able to look up in there and see the alternator and the tensioner pulley. If you are confused as to which is which, there should be a diagram at the front of the engine compartment in front of the radiator that shows all of the pulleys and the routing of the serpentine belt. Now you need to remove the serpentine belt. Get a 14mm box end wrench and put it over the bolt on the tensioner pulley, the small pulley without tracks that is Slightly closer to the front of the car than the alternator. Tighten this bolt. This may seem counterintuitive if you have never done this before. But trust me. Rotate the bolt clockwise. This will release tension on the serpentine belt so you can pull the belt off of the alternator. After removing the belt, find two 13mm wrenches or ratchet attachments and remove the nut and bolt that hold the bottom of the alternator. Then remove the bolt at the top of the alternator. 13 or 14mm, I can't remember. Make sure you get the right one, it is just to the left of another more visible bolt that fastens the accessory above the alternator (can't remember what it is). After that bolt is removed you should be able to get back under the car and slide the alternator out of it's holding position. Now disconnect the alternator wires. This can be kinda trick as they are difficult to reach, and the main plug has a plastic latch holding it in place. Use an 8mm on the bolt holding the other wire. Now slide the alternator out through the wheel well. You may have to rotate it a bit to get it to come out of that hole. You're done. Go have kragen or some auto shop test it to make sure it's bad, and when you buy a new one, make them test that one too. It will save you so much time trying to figure out why your car is still not working right. Reverse the procedure to put the new one back in.

Where did calf roping start?

You can start a younster roping a dummy at an early age 5-6. However it takes real time in the saddle to learn the horsemanship nessessary to safely begin to rope. The strength it takes to throw and tie a calf is about 14 years old. Where girls break away rope in High School they can start at around 12. It's more important that your child learns to love to rope, rather than pushing to early and then they burn out early.
