| Summary |
"Blacktop cowboys chronicles the 2004 rodeo season through the eyes of several charismatic steer wrestlers trying to make it back to rodeo's version of the Super Bowl - the National Finals Rodeo (NFR) in Las Vegas. Steer wrestling is an adrenaline rush like no other, one that entails riding like lightning into an arena, sliding off a horse while taking hold of a five-hundred-pound steer, and then wrestling the animal to the ground. The best cowboys often accomplish all of this in less than four seconds."--BOOK JACKET. |
