Ok here is the deal.
A rodeo announced the day of or the day before it happens. Meaning little to no notice. If you make it great, if you dont no biggy. Participants choose time allotted and scoring format, choice of one out of two or three on each. Fee probably a dollar that goes into a pot for the winner or winners choice of charity. I have had this idea for years. Every time Im at Union on some flash flood peak having a blast and nobody else is there, I think where is everybody? This is what it is all about. Whats this rodeo about? Just having fun. I suck at rodeo. Do I care? HELL NO. There is one thing I am good at and that is having fun on the river and enjoying it with others. If you cant have fun, dont show up. If you are a poor sport dont come. The judges may suck. You may loose because of bad judging. Who cares!!! If you do, dont come. Ill bring a grill and something to grill. Its kind of a kayakers potluck. You bring it well eat it. Yes that includes the soggy power bar thats been in your kayak bag for a month. Dont be surprised if a location is announced that you have not heard of before. There are many holes Ive been beat down in that are fun and worth watching others get trashed. The main idea is going to the river with friends and family kayaking, hanging out, eating food and having a great time.
