PS- Any way you look at it, Jet or Cord should have no trouble with this roadblock.

Thx Chill....It just looks weird to me..like does that ring need to go around the horn? I went to those videos from Slowhatch and all i know now is where to buy a dummy head!LOL
YES....This whole Leg is geared for the cowboys....Hmmmmmmmmmm (:;)

The ring itself would not go around or on the horn per se. Imagine a slip knot, the ring is the small loop that the length of rope goes through to make the bigger loop that is used to "hook" the horn. Sliding the length of the rope through the ring controls the size of the loop, pulling the slack out tightens it up.
Does that make sense?

Ahhhh, YESSSSSSSS :yess:......so it doesn't look good for Jeff then..like he's just hooked the ring and lost the loop of the circled lasso??? :'(
slpdx:
No, I agree with Chill. Although the picture might be a bit deceiving, it looks like Jeff does have it, he just needs to carefully pull the slack out of the rope....unless they have to "rope" both horns, which would be much harder :duno:
DianeC:
I sure hope so and thx for the words of encoragement, but that rope looks pretty precariously positioned to me! :res:
BTW....I am glad TAR got out of Chile and i pray for their country and all the ppl lost after Saturday's earthquake: :'(

- The Amazing Race is off and running and, incredibly, after 15 seasons over nine years, this edition shows early signs of being one of the most entertaining races yet. In Sunday's leg, dubbed "Run Like Scalded Dogs!", the remaining teams race from Chile to Argentina, and then on to France. Chile-Argentina goes by in the blink of an eye. Argentina-France, not so much. (A, CBS)
