Skalika, one of the top drivers in the country, showcased his talent behind the wheel of a fully equipped sypa, impressing both his colleagues and spectators.
The Sypa Rodeo, now in its sixth year, brings together the best drivers from regional competitions to compete in a series of challenging tasks. The winners of the national finals then advance to the prestigious Cestsk Rodeo, organized by the Czech Road Authority under the leadership of Zdenk Komrka. This year, the international event took place in Plzen, with Poland set to host next year, followed by Slovakia and Hungary in the coming years.
Kromi, hosting the national finals for the first time, saw two local drivers participating in the competition. Skalika, starting with the number four, showcased exceptional driving skills and secured the top spot on the podium. Reflecting on his victory, Skalika mentioned that the competition was like driving blindfolded, relying solely on instincts and feel.
The tasks in the Sypa Rodeo required drivers to demonstrate precise control and accuracy. Skalika’s performance was exemplary as he maneuvered the sypa’s front blade to move two metal barrels from one square to another. The judges closely monitored the drivers, imposing penalties for any mistakes or deviations from the designated course. Skalika’s precision was evident as he completed the tasks with minimal errors.
The competition included various challenges, such as navigating through narrow gates, slaloming between barrels, and reversing into a “garage” while knocking down a tire stack. The final task involved driving through a marked path and fitting the front wheel into a square without any errors. Skalika’s exceptional performance earned him the victory, with a time just half a minute behind the winner of the race, Frantiek epk from the Plzen region.
Skalika’s success was not the only highlight of the event. Three drivers from the Zln region also secured spots in the top 10 rankings. Karel Admek from SS Slovcka and Milan Michut from SS Valaska joined Skalika in representing their region with distinction.
Vladimr Kut, the director of Kromi’s road authority, expressed his satisfaction with the event and emphasized the importance of showcasing the challenges faced by sypa drivers. The competition was open to the public, providing an opportunity for spectators to witness the skill and precision required in this demanding profession.
The Sypa Rodeo not only celebrates the talent and dedication of sypa drivers but also highlights the importance of their role in maintaining road infrastructure. As the competition continues to grow in popularity, it serves as a reminder that driving a sypa is no easy task. The drivers’ ability to handle these massive vehicles with precision and finesse is truly commendable.
The national finals of the Sypa Rodeo in Kromi were a resounding success, leaving participants and spectators eagerly anticipating the next edition of this thrilling competition.
