nd worked as a ranch hand. Herned to freestyle motocross

nd hasnt looked back.I picked it up as a hobbyhen I was about 10 yearsd, he said. I started jump-g about five years ago, gotvited to do a show and

Michael McIntyre, 22, ofShingle Springs, is an avidmotocross rider and said he

McIntyre said he plans to goto the rodeo this year just tosee Ayres perform.

I went a couple of timeswhen I was younger and it wasOK, but Ive have to see thisguy, he said.

Ayres grew up in EaglePoint, Ore., and now callsMarysville his home.

Ranching was what heknew, but once he started

making money with hisfreestyle motocross stunts, heswitched gears and now trav-els extensively doing shows.

Since 2008 Ive been travel-ing all over the country andIve been to Hawaii, PuertoRico and Canada for shows,Ayres said.

From the age of 13 to 17, he

competed as a barebacin junior and high rodeos. At the age of 10started racing motocros

Of his college degree, Gar-ner said, the degree and abuck fifty will buy me aMountain Dew.

Garner said hes been pret-ty lucky when it comes toworking with bulls in the are-na.

Ive been thrown about 15feet in the air by a bull andlanded on my head, he said.It would have hurt me if Iwould have landed anywhereelse.

He has broken only one

bone his arm in all hisyears with the rodeo.

It has its ups and downs,and Im fortunate, Garnersaid.

He obtained his Profession-al Rodeo Cowboys Associa-tion card in 2000, and he hasbeen traveling from 25 to 35rodeos a year.

ULL RIDING

Bull riding, this involvesllingly climbing on the backa 2,000-pound bull. The

sks are obvious. Seriousjury is always a possibilityr those who sit astride an

nimal that literally weighs an and is usually equippedth dangerous horns.

Regardless, cowboys do it,

fans love it and bull ridingranks as one of rodeos mostpopular events.

STEER WRESTLING

Speed and strength are thename of the game in steerwrestling. In fact, with a world

record sitting at 2.4 seconds,

steer wrestling is the quickestevent in rodeo.

The objective of the steerwrestler, who is also known asa bulldogger, is to usestrength and technique towrestle a steer to the groundas quickly as possible.

The steer generally weighs

more than twice as mu

the cowboy and, at the titwo come together, tboth often traveling at 30per hour. Speed and prethe two most importantdients in steer wrestlingbulldogging one of rmost challenging events

AREBACK RIDING

Bareback riders endure moreuse, suffer more injuries andten face long-term damageom their sport.To stay aboard the horse, a

areback rider uses a riggingade of leather and construct-to meet PRCA safety specifi-

tions. The rigging, whichsembles a suitcase handle onstrap, is placed atop the

orses withers and secured

th a cinch.As the bronc bucks, the rider

ulls his knees up, rolling hisurs up the horses shoulders. the horse descends, the cow-

oy straightens his legs, return-g his spurs over the point ofe horses shoulders in antici-

ation of the next jump.Making a qualified ride and

earning a money-winningscore requires more than juststrength. A bareback rider is
