More than 100 cowboys attempted to ride Oscar in the first 5 years of his career, and nobody made the full 8 seconds. Typically, Oscar would violently spin to the left, once he hooked a thrown rider, but he was often content with just tossing riders in the air. Weighing at 1,300 lbs during his career, Oscar was ridden 8 times in 300 outs and was inducted into the Pro Rodeo Hall of Fame in 1979, where he remained until his death in 1983.
