I've always enjoyed watching PBR.
One of my favorite bulls to watch was Reindeer Dippin, That bull was a joy to watch - most of the time. When he was on his game which was 99% of the time, he'd come out of the chute getting some serious air time, twisting and turning not just up in the air but his body looked like a wash rag being wrung out. But there were times he just walk out of the chute, look at the crowd, maybe hop a couple of times and call it a day.
Reindeer Dippin, pappy of world champion bull Bushwacker. From Cotton Rosser's Flying U Rodeo, Marysville, California, just down the road from me. The real California.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy it, too, but have to wonder what Larry Mahan and others of his era and before would think of these guys wearing flak jackets and armored cowboy hats.

ReplyDeleteProbably didn't have the flank strap very tight on those situations.
Those guys have to be out of their freaking minds.
ReplyDeleteas the old saw goes "ain't no cowboy who ain't been throw'd"... don't forget "ain't no bull that ain't been rode"
