Steel Ball Run
La Steel Ball Run (スティールボールラン, Sutīru Bōru Ran) est une course à cheval épique figurant dans la septième partie de JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Steel Ball Run. La course en entrée libre consiste en une traversée continue des Etats-Unis depuis San Diego en California à New York.
Description
La Steel Ball Run est une course à cheval qui est unique de par l'échelle épique son parcours et des récompenses allouées. En effet, la course s'est faite à travers les Etats-Unis avec pour récompense 50 millions de dollars américain (cours moderne). Au total, 3652 personnes ont participé à la Steel Ball Run.[1]
Règles
La Steel Ball Run est une course ouverte à tous ou presque : n'importe qui est libre de participer quelque soit son âge (avec un minimum de 16 ans), son sexe, sa nationalité, sa race, qu'il soit professionnel ou amateur. Cependant, il y a un prix d'inscription de 1200 dollars, correspondant au salaire mensuel moyen d'un travailleur aux Etats-Unis. Le prix d'inscription est justifié par le fait que l'évènement paiera pour les vivres, les notes d'hôtels, les soins médicaux et même le voyage retour en cas d'abandon pour les participants durant toute la durée de la course. Il n'y a pas de restriction particulière sur le moyen de transport. Ainsi si la plupart des participants font la course à cheval, certains ont essayé d'y participant à dos de dromadaire, sur une automobile ou même à pied. Les participants s'attendent à braver les éléments, que ce soit le torride désert d'Arizona ou le climat glacial du Michigan, et devront quelque fois survivre seul dans la nature.
La course débute le 25 septembre 1890 sur la plage de San Diego, à 10 heure du matin. Elle finit à New York à Manhattan, le 19 janvier 1891. On estime que la distance totale de la course fait 6000 kilomètres, et prendrait de 60 à 80 jours à être parcouru. Le parcours est partagés en 9 étapes distincts délimités par des villes spécifiques.
Il y a certaines règles à respecter pour les compétiteurs durant la course. La première est que la monture ou le véhicule doivent rester les mêmes durant toute la course, sachant que les empreintes du cavalier et de la monture sont enregistrés. Deuxièmement, il est interdit de s'en prendre aux autres participants. Il est toutefois autorisé de porter une arme à feu pour se défendre, conformément au deuxième amendement des Etats-Unis.[1]
Histoire
La course a été organisée et promue par Steven Steel, et soutenue dans l'ombre par le Président des Etats-Unis, Funny Valentine. Si c'est Steven Steel qui a d'abord pensé à organiser une course à cheval durant la période entre 1884 et 1888 de part son expérience dans la cavalerie, c'est en fait la jeune fille Lucy Pendleton qui lui a suggéré d'en faire une course à travers le continent avec une somme d'argent extravagante comme récompense. Steel, qui était un sans-le-sou ivre à l'époque, trouva l'idée ridicule mais par chance il continua à répéter les idées de Lucy et des sponsors furent intéressés par l'idée d'organiser la course, avec Steel à la tête de l'évènement.[2] Cependant, a un moment donné, le gouvernement américain et Funny Valentine se sont secrètement impliqués dans l'organisation de la course et ont détourné l'évènement à leur fin. Ainsi, la Steel Ball Run sert aussi de front pour une opération de recherche des morceaux du Corps Saint, un artefact sacré qui pourrait bénir un pays entier pendant un millénaire, avec plusisuers participants qui opèrent pour Valentine, et le parcours de la course elle-même qui est fait pour suivre comment les morceaux du corps ont été dispersés selon une carte de Joseph d'Arimathie.
The race takes place in the USA, starting September 25, 1890 at 10 A.M. on San Diego Beach and concluding at the final finish line in front of New York City's Trinity Church. The total distance covered is estimated at around 6,000 km (3,700 mi), which is divided into nine stages separated by known landmarks. In cases where the stage's order of arrival is not clear, five judges are able to examine a photograph of the racers as they cross the finish line in order to determine their placement.[3]
The race concludes on January 19, 1891, with Pocoloco declared the winner on account of Diego Brando's unexplained disappearance. Out of 3,652 initial competitors, only 39 manage to complete the entire race. The race made 50 billion dollars (7 trillion yen) in total. Although the race is initially heavily criticized for being inhumane due to the deaths of numerous competitors, the news that Steven Steel had donated everything he earned from the race to various causes satisfies most of the dissent.[4]
Prix et classement
Pour départager le vainqueur, un système de point engrangés durant la course permettra de connaitre le véritable vainqueur de la course, n'étant pas seulement le premier qui atteindra la ligne d'arrivée. A chaque fin d'étape, des points sont données aux compétiteurs selon l'ordre d'arrivée, récompensant leur performance durant cette étape.[5] Lorsque l'ordre d'arrivée n'est pas claire, cinq juges peuvent utiliser une photographie des concurrents alors qu'ils traversent la ligne d'arrivée pour déterminer le classement.[3]
Les points sont données suivant le classement suivant :[3][6]
Placement | Points | Placement | Points |
---|---|---|---|
1er | 100 | 12ème | 10 |
2ème | 50 | 13ème | 9 |
3ème | 40 | 14ème | 8 |
4ème | 35 | 15ème | 7 |
5ème | 30 | 16ème | 6 |
6ème | 25 | 17ème | 5 |
7ème | 20 | 18ème | 4 |
8ème | 15 | 19ème | 3 |
9ème | 13 | 20ème | 2 |
10ème | 12 | 21ème | 1 |
11ème | 11 | Non placé | 0 |
De plus, le premier de chaque étape est récompensé par un temps bonus. On considèrera qu'il a mis une heure de moins pour franchir la dernière étape, ce qui peut drastiquement changer le classement dans la 9ème étape et donc dans la course entière.[5]
Le vainqueur de la course obtient le grand prix, un trophée ainsi qu'une récompense de 50 millions de dollars (somme qui sera changée à 60 millions) plus tard. Le deuxième dans le classement général obtient lui un million de dollars, le troisième 500 000 dollars, le quatrième 250 000 dollars, le cinquième 125 000 dollars, et ainsi de suite jusqu'au dixième dans le classement général. De plus, le premier de chaque étape remporte 10 000 dollars.[1]
Les différents sponsors de la Steel Ball Run offrent aussi des distinctions diverses au vainqueur de la course. Le gagnant reçoit alors "Prix des actionnaires du Transcontinental Railroad", le "Prix Horizon Newspaper", le "Prix de l'Association des Propriétaires de Chevaux de l'Amérique du Nord", le "Prix de l'Elevage Sélective de la Vegetable Company" et le "Prix des Ventes de la Communication Catalog".[7]
Sponsors
L'évènement est sponsorisé par de nombreuses compagnies, intéressées par l'ampleur de la course et la publicité qu'on peut en retirer sachant l'intérêt grandissant du public pour le sport en général. Le journal fictif "East & West Tribune" a l'exclusivité pour la couverture de l'évènement. De nombreux hôtels à commencer par la San Diego Beach Hotel co. sponsorisent l'évènement. D'autres sponsors incluent la corporation d'emballage de viande B&C, l'armurier Winchester Horizontal, la corporation des chemins de fer continentaux et la compagnie pétrolière Speedwagon.[1]
Championship Trophy
The championship trophy of the Steel Ball Run is placed inside an ice boulder which came from the South Pole. According to scientists, the ice froze over 300 million years ago. The trophy is transported to the goal in New York via railroad and the ice is calculated to melt by the time the race finishes.
The trophy itself is golden and resembles the logo of the race, with a horseshoe symbol on the center of a sphere. On top of the sphere is a jockey with long hair and a hat riding a horse.[8]
Impact
La course fut très dangereuse pour les participants et résultant en beaucoup de mort. Elle fut très critiquée sur le plan humanitaire. Cependant, elle a aussi générée 70 trillions de dollars en revenues, qui ont été donnés à plusieurs causes par Steven Steel.[9]
Route
1ère Etape - Les Premiers 15 000 Mètres
- "San Diego Beach", San Diego, CA[10]
- TO
- "Eglise de Santa Maria Novella"[11]
- The first stage is the second shortest stage of the Steel Ball Run, at a length of 15 km only. However, it is a high intensity stage with a good variety of terrain over a short distance to make for an exciting introduction to the race. The stage begins on San Diego Beach, the open and flat ground being ideal to accommodate the thousands of racers that have subscribed to the race. The first kilometers of the stage consists in a relatively forgiving terrain, being relatively open and flat bar a few cacti, trees, crevices, and a chokepoint in a bridge over a dried river. The default path then goes around a rock formation, although at the tip of said formation, riders can choose to try and cross a forest at the risk of bumping against trees. Following this is a downhill slope where riders are expected to actually reduce and control the pace of their horses to not trip. The riders will then have to bypass an abandoned ranch before sprinting to the finish line over 2,000 meters of flat terrain.
- The stage is also set parallel to train tracks so that journalists and VIPs can follow the first stage in the comfort of a train and report on it.

2ème Etape - Traversée du Désert d'Arizona
- "Arizona Desert" / Monument Valley, AZ/UT[11]
- At 1200 km, the second stage is one of the longest and one of the harshest. The riders will have to cross about 1200 km of desert in a hot and dry climate, which puts the riders and their horse at risk of dying from thirst, the heat, or the hostile fauna of the desert. The risk is compounded by the fact that riders can get lost in the desert (due to a Devil's Palm). There is a control point halfway through the stage before the riders can reach Monument Valley.
- The terrain is relatively rough as the desert is strewn with mountainous areas and rocky formations. However, the last part of the stage is set in Monument Valley and thus relatively open.
- In fact, 1301 participants dropped from the race at this stage. 523 of those drop-outs happened because of a Devil's Palm.[12]
