Clip | 2m 47s

For decades, Greeley, Colorado has gathered to enjoy demolition derby.

In 1922, town residents organized the Greeley Spud Rodeo, which included bucking broncs, pie eating, and a two-mile Model-T Ford “free for all race,” according to the event. By 1972, the Greeley Stampede began to resemble today’s event, which includes pro rodeo competitions, concerts and the demolition derby.
