| Pack burro racing, like horse racing, has its own Triple Crown, with races in Leadville, Buena Vista, and Fairplay, Colorado; the latter town hosts the World Championship. Pack burro racing is the only sport indigenous to the state of Colorado and its roots lie in the state's mining heritage. Because the burros, the Spanish word for donkeys, carried the supplies, miners would lead the animals, which is the objective of each race. This program offers highlights of these three races, which commemorate the miners and their burros. 08DR IJSCA 60 min. |
| This program introduces viewers to Pack Burro Racing, which is a homegrown sport that began in Colorado in the late 1940s. The World Championship race occurs yealy in Fairplay, Colorado, whose normal population is less than 1,000, and its altitude is around 10,000' in the Rockies. The race, which is part of a Burro Days' celebration, is called the "highest, longest, roughest, and toughest," and entrants must be in tip-top shape - racers and burros have to run 29 miles, climbing up to 3,000 feet. Burros must wear a pack with traditional mining gear, weighing in at 35 pounds, and the burro must be led the entire race by a halter attached to a rope not more than 15 feet long. Simple to understand, very difficult to accomplish, the race is a tribute to the animals and their role in the Old West mining days, and because the burro is a stubborn animal, this makes for interesting "racing." 08DR IJSCA 50 min. |
| This program documents a second World Championship Pack Burro Race, which occurs yearly in the Rocky Mountain town of Fairplay, Colorado. This world-class "race into the hills," has racers and burros running 29 miles and climbing up to 3,000 feet; also burros must wear a pack with traditional mining gear that weighs in at 35 pounds. The burro, which is the Spanish word for donkey, must be led the entire race by a halter attached to a rope not more than 15 feet long. Although simple to understand, it is very difficult to accomplish, not only because of the endurance issue, but because the burro is a stubborn animal, which makes for some interesting "racing." This Championship race is a part of the town's "Burro Days," a tribute to the animals and their role in the Old West mining days. 08DR IJSCA 50 min. |
| Bull riding is the most popular of all rodeo rough stock events, but it too is the most dangerous. Scoring points is easy to understand: two judges give 1 to 25 points for a cowboy's performance and 1 to 25 points for the bull's performance; thus, 100 points would be the perfect ride; however, getting a high score is extremely difficult. Just imagine being on top of a two-thousand-pound bull; also riders must ride the bull with only one hand and cannot touch themselves or their bull with the free hand or they end up with no score. Obviously, riders require excellent balance, flexibility, coordination, and a lot of courage. In this program we get to view some of the worlds best bull riders, during the Mile-Hi Bull Riders' Showdown. 08DR IJSCA 90 min. |
| Is it the danger or the courage of the cowboys that makes bull riding the most popular of rodeo sports? Probably, it's a combination of both.

Ski jumper, Alf Engen, started the first Gelandesprung contest in 1964 at Alta, Utah. Here we view the Gelandesprung event, which is part of Steamboat Springs' annual Winter Carnival. Gelande jumpers use the standard Alpine gear with a fixed heel, rather than using Nordic skis, which allow a free heel. The skis are extremely long and jumpers use the "V" style of Olympic jumping for flight position. In competition, points are based on the length of a jump and style points combined. 08DR IJSCA 30 min. |
