No, they climb, scratch, claw and crawl their way up the steep sides of the hole, grabbing rocks, trees, exposed roots and each others’ hands, all in hope of reaching that perfect place — that perfect place to jump from.

 Real student of the game
 Demers rode Rock 'n' Roll to a sweet-sounding 85 yesterday to not only post the best score of the fourth day of bareback competition, but also win the first go-round.
 Just a few minutes before his Rock 'n' Roll hit, Demers scored a relatively modest 76.5 on Pit Boss in the saddle bronc.
 Yesterday's big bareback score was a half-point better than Bill Boyd's previous standard and gives Demers a great shot at achieving his goal at his first Stampede.

 The National Trust, MP3 Music Download at eMusic
Neo-soul combo the National Trust are the brainchild of guitarist and composer Neil Rosario, who first surfaced in 1990 with the noise rock trio Dolomite.
The original lineup dissolved in 1992 after issuing just one single, "Tarantula," but Rosario and bassist Doug DeMers soon reunited, adding vocalist/drummer Rian Murphy and guitarist John Whitney to advance a more blues-rock-inspired sound on successive recordings, including the EP Gift Horse/Acetate and the full-length Easter Someday.
Drawing influences from classic pop and even bubblegum, the group played only a handful of live dates, but despite logging considerable studio time failed to issue any recordings before Fields and Ambriz exited in early 1999.
