This is an interesting piece. My parents lived in Fairplay and I actually attended one of these races! It was fun. I had never seen anything like it. Your short was fun too, I liked learning the origin of this unique event. Thanks

tail was hairy. POOR

Great video, Curtis. Just shows how far you can go if you never forget to "Reload". See you at the top of Mosquito pass-hopefully many more times. R Pedretti

i met curtis imrie thru a mutual addiction & admiration of wild burros. pack burro racing just may be the only remaining sport in america that is driven by "the sport of it" rather than greed. these guys & gals work hard every year for the few hours of arduous glory at race day. no free agents holding out for another million, no steroid drug addicts, just pure old american sportsmen. & now i see the burro as a hell of a good representative of politics. the burro is honest, straighforward, humble & intelligent. if we could only have a politician or two with the same characteristics! tom taylor, wild horse & wild burro adopter. volunteer for blm's wild horse & burro program.

PACK BURRO RACING, COLORADO'S OLDEST INDIGENOUS SPORT! FINALLY A PEEK BEHIND THE CURTAIN OF THE PACK BURRO RACING COMMUNITY AND A LOOK AT SOME REAL FOLKS. NO WIMPS ALLOWED, A REAL PART OF THE OLD WEST!

Great, great, great. A real "kick in the head". Enjoyed it! --Margaret Makar, Director and producer "Welcome to Longhopes (donkey shelter)" a video in the REAL COLORADANS series on rmpbs.org's Panorama page.

I think that with the work you have done that this would be a great addition for the independent film market and especially starting with the film festivals in Colorado. I think the burro racing circuit could use more films using your expertise so we can promote Colorado's only indigenous sport and what great animals donkeys really are. A sharp,lively and fun short, great work!

I think this looks like a fun film. I have seen the Burro races in the city of Fairplay, and I must say it was something I had never realized even existed. This is a great way for me to learn about the origin of the races, and the man who started it all.

Thanks for making this film
