COPLON, JEFF: GILD BUCKLE - The grand obsession of rodeo bull riders, New York HarperCollinsWest 1995 ; fester Einband / hard cover; 1. Ed. ISBN: 0062585452

A portion of 'Gold Bickle' was originally published in the New York Times Magazine. Cover design: Catharine Hennes. A successful bull ride is eight seconds in hell on a ton of murderous fury. To win the gold buckle takes try - a cowboy noun for courage, concentration, and sheer grit - and lots of it. From its very first sentence, Gold Buckle vaults you directly into the rider's seat, swirling through the sights and sounds and heart-pounding excitement of professional bull riding. With a journalist's keen eye and a novelist's compelling style, Jeff Coplon reveals the private world of the bull rider - the toughest athlete in the world. Spanning a period of four years, the author travels on the cowboys' do-or-die circuit and meets the moneymen behind the sport, the Hall of Fame riders of the past, and the wives left behind. From rodeo's rough origins in the Wild West to Today's high-stakes, neon-glazed National Finals showdown in Las Vegas, Coplon paints a vivid landscape, as much a portrait of the American West as of professional rodeo and the men who personify its tough and mysterious nature. Here are such legendary cowboys as Lane Frost, Tuff Hedeman, Ty Murray, Charles Sampson, Don Gay, Jim Shoulders, and Harry Tompkins. Gold Buckle is their extraordinary tale of riding and dreaming, of bearing out the pain and glory of each victory and defeat. This is their story - and that of every bull rider who ever reached for the ultimate, gleaming prize. Contents: 1). Riding ugly. 2). Chasing the grail. 3). Try, again. 4). The joy of bucking. 5). Roots. 6). On the road. 7). Buddies. 8). Big daddy. 9). Love with the perfect bull rider. 10). The wrong paint job. 11). Little big man. 12). God and country. 13). The last pure American cowboy. 14). To the brink. 16 photographs. XXI + 275 pag. 1st edition Half cloth with dustjacket 21,5cmx14,5cm; 1st edition

Indem sie Rodeo-Reiter bestechen oder aber ausschalten, versuchen ein paar üble Burschen, bei Wettkämpfen dem eigenen Mann zum Sieg zu verhelfen und das Preisgeld einzustreichen. John Weston ist den gefährlichen Betrügern auf den Fersen, meldet sich zum Rodeo an und erhält prompt ein eindeutiges Angebot von den Halunken. Er weigert sich aber, darauf einzugehen, und wehrt sich erfolgreich gegen Plan B, der daraufhin gegen ihn eingesetzt wird. Schließlich siegt er im Wettkampf und enttarnt die Bande.
