Standard Rodeo Trick

The rodeo trick is a great trick for beginners to attempt when they are trying to gain experience and confidence (or just when they really want to have some fun!) It can be done at any skydiving level and is a wonderful way to explore the great things that skydiving has to offer. The rodeo requires at least two divers, although three can be even more fun. One diver will play the part of the horse and one the part of the cowboy. 

The trick can begin in the plane with the cowboy climbing onto the back of the horse just before or shortly after leaving the plane. However, the horse can be mounted during flight as well if the cowboy glides up along the side of the horse and then gets on as he would if the horse were standing up. Once on, the trick has been accomplished and not only have you just completed a trick but you’ve also experienced a little bit of fun flying!
