Recently, the X Games have added Moto X, using motorbikes in freestyle, Big Air and step up, which is high jumping for bikes. The sport grew in California in the late 1960s as kids imitated dirt bike motorcycle racing. Some see BMX as a training ground for mountain bike racing, which became an Olympic sport in Atlanta in 1996. The very first bike, by the way, was a pedal-free scooter called the draisienne. A Scottish blacksmith, Kirkpatrick Macmillan, added pedals to the draisienne in 1839.
Rodeos often choose among three rough stock events and five timed events.
Frost, a world champion, died in 1989 at the Cheyenne Frontier Days Rodeo. The other rough stock events are bareback bronc riding and saddle bronc riding, while the other timed event is team roping. Generally, women only compete in barrel racing, in which you run a horse around three barrels, although in some places they also compete in goat tying and in steer undecorating, in which women on horses chase steers to grab ribbons of their backs. Rodeo clowns distract bulls from goring fallen bull riders. This 'bullfighting' has become a rodeo event of its own, one in which the bulls live.
