My name is Sonia Lee Warvell, and this is my horse, Candy.

I've been trick riding for almost a year now. My name is Sonia Copeland, and this is my horse, Rusty. He's my trick riding horse, and he is the same age as me. I'm 13, and he's 13, too. Hello. Are you going to practice today? Yeah. We're Trick Riders in the Buffalo Bills Wild West Show. All summer long, we're busy on rodeos. And you meet new people, and you learn new things. And I met Sancha just this year, and we've turned out really good friends. What do y'all want to do now? Oh, I don't know. I'm going to press my vote. OK. You've got to get up there and do at least one good one. Look towards the center and hesitate. Trip riding may look easy, but it's really not.

You have to work a lot at it. we have to practice every day to make our muscles stay up just to help us keep in shape you know what you're doing you know what you're doing you're not hesitating and you're not hitting out you're hitting way back what do you want me to do next tina why don't you get into your fender drag every time you do a you're usually bumping against the horse and you always get a little bruise somehow, somewhere. Put your arm out! It looks better! In doing this, your muscles get real sore, and you have to build them up real good so you can pull yourself out of the trick and not fall down off the horse. What's wrong? You look like you're gonna hit somebody. I don't mind being home at winter, but when spring comes, I just love to go on the road, and it's real neat.

It's traveling from one place to another, sleeping at night in a truck, and getting there, and eating in the cafes, and sleeping in motels. You meet new friends and when you come back you meet your old friends again, and it's just like a cycle all over the day's real slow at first but around four o'clock all the people start coming Welcome to the YM West, folks.

Allow me to introduce to you the Congress of the Love Riders of the World, my willy. The Wild West Show is a good place for youngsters to start out trip riding because a lot of Kids do a lot of things here, and it makes them feel like they're known, like doing a school play or something. They feel important. Here comes 13-year-old Sonja Copeland, a member of the Klamath, Modoc, and Paiute tribes, and her version of the Hippodrome stand. Thank you, Sonja.

Casey Peterson now, in reverse group revolts. Sometimes trick riding is pretty dangerous, but you've got to practice at it before you go out and do it. I've taken a lot of big chances, but usually I've practiced so long that I've succeeded. Tina Dewberry now from Dallas, Texas. Watch this. A stirrup drag hanging way down on the side of the horse. Tina Dewberry from Weatherford, Texas. Now, Son of Warbell. I've grown up in front of thousands of people, and I enjoy it every time I go out there. It makes me feel that I accomplished something. Doing a fender drag on that fast-running white horse, Son of Warville. Now, ladies and gentlemen, one of the most difficult tricks ever attempted. Here comes Sanja Copeland with the tail drag. Ever since I was small, I've seen trick riding, and I wanted to, you know, learn it. I'll always want to be in rodeos all my life. Mighty difficult and dangerous,

Sanja Copeland from Reno, Nevada, and the tail drag. leaving the show here is going to be really sad because you have to leave all your best friends me and sonia will keep in touch probably a lot tell about the shows we did in rodeos we probably won't see sonia summer after summer she might change a lot and I might change a lot But I think we'll all be almost the same way in our own way. Here is a some goody recipe, pumpkin bread. You guys want to try it? Sure. Yeah. Okay. First, you need one and a half cup of sugar. Next, you need one stick of melted butter. okay now you take two eggs and you crack all right now take our next egg oh great bravo

and then you take a half a can of canned pumpkin and you throw it in it's my turn She has to put in one-third of one-third a cup of water. It's dirty. No, it's not. Now we need... That doesn't look too tasty. One-half teaspoon of salt. Oops, don't put it too salty. It's all right. One-half teaspoon of cinnamon cinnamon. And one-half teaspoon of nutmeg. No, I think we need a third... No, one and three quarters of flour first. Yeah, right. Then we put in the teaspoon of baking soda? Yeah. Oh, no, how am I going to get this out now? Let's stick the spoon in and take it out. You have to preheat the oven to 350. 350. 350? Yeah. Now, first, can we put it in a loaf pan? Mix it up. Oh, God. Oh, cute.

Oh, my God. Look at all that. Yeah, it smells like squash. The cake doesn't look good when you first mix it. It's too heavy. When you do a cake, you probably have to come on. About 350 strokes around there. You all done? Take all that. All right, now. Let's... All right, Karen. Jordan. Oh, no. Don't spill it. That looks... That looks... It wasn't scared. It looks good. It looks like layers of... It looks like we make banana cake, but it's a different color. Yeah, layers. Sort of. It looks like cake. It is cake. One more time. I mean, it's bread. Then after you do that, you bake it for an hour. And if you don't know how to use an oven, you can ask an adult to help you. Yeah. Oh. Is it good? Let me taste it. Yeah. Just put it in the oven. Now let's go stick it in the oven. I hope it's good. Special idea.

Yep. Wow. Writing it south? Yep. Send it now. Send it where? Send it to Zoom. Send it to whom? Pose or thought or play? Whatever you got. Take your time. A story or a game? You bet. A riddle? A feeling you bet. Now why don't you send it to Zoom? Whom? Name and address. A stamp, a C-C-2, of course. Now why don't you send it to Zoom? Write Zoom, C-W-O-M, Fox, V-5-O, Boston, M-S-O-2-1-3-4. Send it to Zoom, yeah! I love it. Let me see the knife after you, please. I like a lot of butter. Not me, I don't like butter on mine. More butter. Put a little butter on mine, please. If you'd like to know how to make pumpkin bread, we'll send you a Zoom card with the

recipe. And when you write for your Zoom card, be sure to include a SASE. That's a self-addressed stamped envelope. I think punishment should be like, it should be equal. Like if you did something wrong, like most people or parents, like they punish you by saying don't do this and they give you a slap or something like then you gotta listen to the kid yeah that's right because sometimes my mother gives me a choice you know i think we should be punished and like if you just say say if you're a boy and you have a fight with a girl and your mother doesn't allow it she shouldn't give you a real bad punishment but she should give you one that you will understand not to you know beat up girls i haven't got punished in about five years or something but when I used to get punished it wasn't I mean I didn't get you know hit by a belt or anything I it was like they didn't send me to my room but they kind of they

talked to me and asked me why I did it and not to do it again most of our punishments in our house if you do something wrong you go right to bed right at the supper and that's mostly the most the punishments oh my my father gives you a big lecture and you know what your parents shouldn't do when they're punishing you and just talking to you don't use these big words you know and just sitting up there just wondering and trying it's all scrambled up and it said this certain word and then trying to say i don't know what it means and you know and it could be the right word or it could be wrong so you know yeah sometimes your parents give you the big long word right And then on your mind, you're trying to figure out what this word means while he's talking to you, you know, you're just trying to pay attention to what this word means. And then he says, do you hear me? And you say, uh-huh. Yeah, you go, yeah, I hear you, yeah, uh-huh, yeah. Yeah, I, well, punishments, I think, you know, you should have them because, you know, if you do something really bad, you know, you've got to be punished because, you know, you just can't get away with murder all the time. Yeah.

gotta be punished you know i think it shouldn't be punished with beatings i think you should like um uh stay in your room for a week and you can't watch tv and you can just eat dinner with us that's uh first thing we're gonna do is talk about dribbling my name is ron after i come from manchester connecticut and this summer i spent one week at a basketball clinic i watch most of your dribble and whether you dribble right or wrong one thing i'll tell you is you're dribbling there's about 200 kids here they just have one thing in common they just want to play basketball every time you catch the ball you gotta bounce now why do you dribble you dribble for a number of reasons one is you might want to set up a screen a couple times a day we have um a clinic on the basic fundamentals of the game. Red Auerbach is the general manager of the Boston Celtics. He comes down here and helps with the lectures.

The court you play on is smooth, assuming it's straight and smooth, OK? The ball is round. If the ball is round and the court is smooth, you don't have to watch it. When you really drive for that hoop, you don't need two bounces. Well, having the professionals around, it's nice because you can watch them and look up to them and try and become just as good as they are. Then you throw your head and shoulders back quick, but you don't move the ball, see? Go. See, all you do is kick this leg down, go. Now, he moves, and I throw the ball out. Here, go with this, I'll show you. Watch the face. Go with me. Go way down that way. Well, I decided I wanted to come to camp because I really like basketball, and I thought coming to a camp would be the best way to improve. But I want to get everything out of this week that I can.

All right, Ronnie. Bobby? After the clinics every day, we break down into our teams, and we practice what we just learned in the clinics. Where'd he go, Eric? Okay, Ronnie. Okay, now you guys run through the plays a couple times. I want you to kick it back out to either Eric or Ronnie. In the beginning, it was pretty hard to get used to everybody because, you know, at your own home, you know everybody, you know how they play. But here, you just have a week to get used to new players. Now, you'll be picking now because you're calling a down play. Let's go. Well, I play both guard and forward. For guard, you have to be a good ball handler, be quick and aggressive, and also forward, you have to be aggressive off the boards and be able to be tough on defense. Watch now, Ronnie, because he had a good pick and roll there. He picked for you and then he rolled to the basket.

I think I'm a pretty strong defensive player, and I like to work on my offense a little bit. It's more fun to be on offense because you get the glory of scoring points and make everybody proud of you. But I think you can now visualize from the other things that you've picked up that three out of every four options are determined without the ball. That is, you pass it, and then you get it back. Option two now. Try it again. Same two. Come on. There you go. That a baby. Now give him the ball. Wait one count. Now loop. Now give it back to him. Put it in there. Put it in there. What's the mistake? What did you do, young man? When you caught the ball, you're supposed to look at the basket. Instead, you watched him all the way. No, ignore him. Look to see if he can go with it. Then just stand up, give him the ball, wait one count and go. Okay, we've covered just about everything we can all the way through the week from a lecture point of view. You've had offensive moves, you've had rebounding, you've had dribbling, you've had passing. And in the last games of this afternoon...

It's pretty hard to say how far I can go in basketball, because I don't know how much I'll grow, how much I'll improve. Right now, I'll just keep on playing basketball. Little Red Riding Hood was a chick With a little old granny who was awful sick So she went to visit her granny one day And met a big bad wolf on the way Don't sweat it red, don't be alarmed Said the big bad wolf with his phony charm I just want to warn you about the big bad fox

And ask you what you've got in the big lunchbox Just a few goodies, one kind or another I'm fetching to my poor sick bear mother Well, I'm sorry, old wolf, but I can't stay And with that, little red went on her way Now the wolf let her go, but not for good Well, he had plans for Red Riding Hood And when she arrived at Granny's pad Red didn't know it, but she'd been had Come on in! She heard Granny call, but it wasn't really Granny Not at all, sitting up in bed To her surprise, was Little Red's Granny With great big eyes! What big eyeballs you've got, said Red

And pointy ears on top of your head But the wolf just smiled and winked And read Red Riding Hood, the pink Well, little did that old wolf know That little red had learned judo She quickly raised her hand and bop She gave that wolf a doodle chop And that is how the story ends Now the wolf and red are definitely friends But he learned his lesson and he learned it good

You don't fool around with red, rowdy wood Thank you. Friends, la la la la la la la Friends, la la la la la Friends, I'm talking about Friends, let's fight

Friends, la la la la la La, la, la, la, la. Oh, you gotta have. Hey, hey, hey. Feelin' so, so strong. You gotta have. Hey, hey, hey. Hey, hey, hey.
