Xtreme Teen Events
Xtreme Chute Doggin'
(Due to time limits, MAXIMUM of 50 Participants) Discretion to Event Coordinator.
Definitely a crowd favorite! This event is also called “steer toss’”. In this event participants are timed on how long it takes them to lay a steer down on its side. Participants start in the official rodeo buckin’ chute with their steer, when the chute opens the participant has 30 seconds to try and get that steer down on its side with all 4 feet off the ground. Don’t worry, there will be a demonstration and plenty of coaches to help you understand what to do. Come on, you know you want to try it! Two champion buckles (boy & girl) will be awarded in this event, so girls you only compete against
each other to win a buckle. Prizes also for 2 nd and 3rd place.
Goat Tying
In our Xtreme Teen version of Goat Tying, you will run out to catch your staked goat. Then, you flip and tie 3 legs together. After tying your goat you race back across the finish line. The first participant to get back across the line wins!!! Of course, you need to tie your goat well enough that it stays tied until you cross that finish line. Don’t know how to tie a goat? Don’t worry, we will give demonstrations before the event so why not give it a try! Goat tying ropes will be provided – no need to bring your own. Buckles for the fastest boy and girl plus other great prizes for our heat winners.
Chicken Challenge
One of our funniest events to watch! All we can say is the event involves a team of two, a crazy chicken or alternative, and a bouncing rooster. You have to come out and experience it for yourself! All ages 12 to 19 can participate together. Lots of great prizes donated for heat winners.
Piggy Back Hustle
Barrel racing with a twist! One partner is the “horse” and one is the “rider”. Each team competes piggyback style on a traditional barrel pattern. Fastest team wins the heat and a prize…winners of the heats get into the finals round to compete for the grand prizes. Event open to partners of all ages 12 to 19. Teams often form at the starting line so don’t worry if you arrive without a partner! Custom Roots N’ Boots buckles to the fastest team and many others for our heat winners.
Dummy Roping
Whether experienced or not, you will be roping a dummy. There is a male and female section. If you catch, you will proceed to the next round. Each time you will get further from the dummy. Ropes will be provided or bring your own. Last male and last female win a buckle! Prizes also to 2 nd and 3 rd place.
