On Episode 48 of the TID Water & Power Podcast we're joined by TID Lineman, Josh Klikna, and Apprentice Lineman, Will Malone, to discuss the lineworkers rodeo competition.
Every year, hundreds of lineworkers and apprentices from around the country come together to compete in the American Public Power Association’s Lineworkers Rodeo. But there’s no roping, bull riding, or barrel racing at this rodeo – instead the competitors are climbing poles, replacing equipment, and even doing mock rescues – all for some friendly competition (and a whole lot of bragging rights).
On this episode we to discuss the lineworkers rodeo competition, how the rodeo relates to the work they do everyday, and their experience at the recent APPA Rodeo.
