COMMUNITY SPORTS: Kiser wins bareback championship

Cody Kiser, a 19 year old sophomore at the University of Nevada and member of the California Cowboys Professional Rodeo Association (CCPRA) won the year-end bareback riding championship at the CCPRA Finals in Redding over the weekend.

The bareback championship came down to the final ride on Saturday night, and Kiser made an 80-point ride on Rocking M Rodeo Company's Wild & Blue, to win the title. Wild & Blue was voted bareback bucking horse of the year for 2009 and 2010.

Kiser started riding bareback horses in his sophomore year after suffering a severe injury while riding a bull during his freshman year of high school. Kiser also competes in college rodeos and rides as an independent in the West Coast Region of the Intercollegiate Rodeo Association.

This past spring he was the Reserve Bareback Riding Champion for the West Coast Region which earned him a trip to the Intercollegiate Rodeo Association Finals in Casper, Wyoming in June.

Kiser recently won the bareback riding at the Feather River College Rodeo in Quincy, CA on Sept. 23-25.

Zink captures Red

Bull Rampage event

Cameron Zink beat 20 talented riders to win the 2010 Red Bull Rampage championship.

Zink took home the trifecta, winning the Utah Sports Commission Best Trick Award, the Freeride Mountain Bike (FMB) World Tour season overall title and the Red Bull Rampage event.

Zink had a scary moment when he attempted a 360 off the Oakley Icon Sender custom feature, but took a hard hit that cracked his helmet. He was eventually cleared by medics and stayed in the event.

Zink made a great second run which included a 360 that sent him down 40 feet. The move, which also earned him Best Trick honors, was the only thing that could top Gee Atherton.

More than 2,000 fans hiked into the remote desert venue to witness a contest that showcased a mix of rugged, natural downhill terrain and manmade obstacles. A team of builders led by Paddy Kay spent a month digging, building and grooming the course that would become the riders' playground.
