Rodeo: Life on the Circuit takes us into the world of what ranks as one of the most dangerous sports in North America. Shrouded in the mystique of the 'Old West', a cast of professional cowboys and cowgirls take us on their own rodeo journey filled with colorful images of ritualistic lore and impassioned bravado unparalleled in modern spectator sports.

Rodeo explores the personalities, the relationships, the danger, the rivalry, and the inevitable stress of life on the road.
Not everyone survives.
As sixteen-time world champion rodeo cowboy Jim Shoulders, says "It's not whether you're gonna get hurt, it's when and how bad. It's why the Romans went to see the lions eat the Christians."

Moody wins Average, Brazile wins Triple Crown
Going into round 10 Jill Moody and Sherry Cervi were battling it out for the $44K + 1st place average cheque. One of them was going to take second. Fortunately for Cervi, tipping third barrel only cost her the average title and the difference in money from first and second. Cervi still got second in the average having been so tough all week. This is the second time Moody has won 1st in the average, this time with a record fast time on 10 runs.
In the round Angie Meadors and Mulberry tied Brittany Pozzi and Duke for first. Duke was firing on all cylinders for that run, much like we had anticipated he would at the beginning of the week. This world championship is Sherry Cervi's third win. She has won each on a different horse. Troubles, Hawk and now Stingray.
You can watch all the round winning runs HERE And for each of the events too.
Trevor Brazile won his second triple crown of championships yesterday. Having secured the all around earlier in the week, it came down to the last round in both the tie down and team roping events. Clay Tyran waved it off in the Team Roping to hand Trevor his first Team Roping World Championship. Brazile earned over $500,000 in 2010, $$211,509.40 of it at the NFR to win the Top Gun award which included a new Dodge Truck and goodies to fill it.
Two-time Triple Crown winner Trevor Brazile and his family work the red carpet at the PRCA 10th Night After-Party, Dec. 11 at the Mirage Hotel & Casino. Brazile’s wife, Shada, daughter, Stella Bell and son, Treston accompanied him to the party for 2010 ProRodeo world champions and their families.
The 2010 ProRodeo World Champions gathered together on a stage at The Mirage Hotel during The Official Wrangler NFR World Champion Awards Show and 10th Night After-Party, Dec. 11 in Las Vegas. From left to right: Cody Wright (saddle bronc riding), J.W. Harris (bull riding), Sherry Cervi (WPRA barrel racing), Trevor Brazile (all-around, tie-down roping and team roping), Patrick Smith (team roping, heeling), Dean Gorsuch (steer wrestling) and Bobby Mote (bareback riding). All the 2010 champions have previously won a gold buckle.
In Canadian News, Willy Cassidy received a standing ovation as Curtis Cassidy tipped his hat to the horse that has done so much for the Cassidy family. Willy will be retired now after this NFR. He went out with a bang helping Curtis win the round in 3.7 seconds. Willy is 24 years old and has help cowboys win 5 world championships and of course numerous Canadian championships.
In the Bareback, Dusty LaValley finished out of the money, but held 4th position in the average finishing 10th in the world with $135,467.39 in season earnings. Dustin Flundra wasn't able to mark a score in the 10th round. Finishing 16th with $58,353.20 won. Lindsay Sears spared Martha in the last round and ran Moe. He had a nice run, but out of the money. Cody Cassidy finished the year with $155,566.97 in earnings, Curtis with $166,775.34 only $20,000ish behind world champion Dean Gorsuch.

Cervi clinches World Championship
Two world championships were secured mathematically last night during round 9. JW Harris won the bull riding and Sherry Cervi the barrel racing. It won't be just the world championship buckle JW is packing home with him, he will also have to find room for his first born. His wife gave birth to their baby just a few days after they arrived in Vegas. She will be making her first rodeo appearance tonight and will watch her Daddy be crowded the world champion. This is Harris's third straight championship. The legendary Don Gay was the last bull rider to do this.
In barrel racing Sherry Cervi and Stingray placed fourth in the round securing the world championship. Angie Meadors and the gray mare Mulberry won the round with an impressive 13.59. Meadors stated in interviews it was a coin toss to decide which horse she was going to ride. Both horses have been running strong all week, but knocked barrels put a stop on the would have paychecks.
In the steer wrestling, Curtis Cassidy got on soon to be retired Willy to split the first and second place paychecks. Cassidy remains second in the PRCA World Standings, but is 13th in the average standings. He has now placed in four rounds, but also has three no-times. Luke Branquino had a no time, putting him out of the average and opening the door for others to take the world championship. Cody Cassidy split 4/5 and is now 3rd in the average. Dogger Dean Gorush is in the drivers seat going into round 10.
Calculators will be in use quite a bit during Round 10, including in the team roping. PRCA World Standings leaders Clay Tryan and Travis Graves won Round 9 in 4.2 seconds to hold onto their top spots, but the team of Brazile and Smith were second in the round in 4.3 seconds and remained second in the Wrangler NFR average standings. Tryan and Graves lead Brazile and Smith by roughly $13,000 apiece in the world standings, but are fifth in the average. The difference between fifth and second in the average payout is roughly $21,000, so Tryan and Graves will need some shifting to go on in Round 10 to claim the gold buckles.
In the saddle bronc Dusty LaValley placed 4th again to hold his 4th place average. Dustin Flundra failed to mark a score. Lindsay Sears and Martha finished out of the money. Martha slipped on her hind end going into her second barrel and Sears not worried about an average cheque held up on the way home.
Without further rambling, here is what you are looking for ;)

3 go round buckles and an arena record for Cervi
Sherry Cervi beat the current arena record at the Thomas and Mack in round 8. It was also her 3rd go round win. Cervi and her 8 year old mare MP Meter My Hay "Stingray" toppled the past NFR best of 13.52 seconds set by Brandie Halls and I Am Not Te (“Slim”) in 2006
“Warming her up, I knew it was either going to be really good or really bad,” Cervi said of the record-breaking run with Stingray. “She was feeling good, and I knew that she was going to run hard. I just try to make the same run that I do every night. Obviously, it was just a little bit faster.”
Here are the runs from round 8:
