Some of the favorite obstacles like the famous Texas Three-Step, log drag and varieties of jumps were included, but Cameron decided to bring in some new ones that challenged the riders like never before. At one point each rider has to strip his or her saddle of the horse and pick up a rider and double ride bareback. Competitors also had to use some of their roping skills being asked to rope a green horse. Also this season, there is a time limit for each obstacle and if a competitor goes over the time limit, he or she will be ushered on. This season has added more pressure to the cowboys and cowgirls creating a race that is much more exciting than previous ones. The winner this time around will truly be able to call themselves the Extreme Cowboy Race Champion!
