I always enjoy rodeo and bull riding. Glad to see it in your neck of the woods.

A Canadian Champion Bull Rider acquaintance of mine told me how to become a bull rider.

You fill your mouth with marbles and every day you take one out. When you've lost all of your marbles you are a bull rider.

A mutual friend got us both on an elk hunt together, along with a trained chef. No elk but great rodeo stories and mighty good food. All except the evening I cooked supper. They didn't let me cook again.

Was kinda brought up around rodeo when I was younger. Always enjoy the bull ridin too.
Sometime maybe I'll tell ya about my bull riding career,,, it'll take about 4 1/2 seconds.

When the kids were all at home it seems we were on the road to a rodeo every weekend.

There are some great action shots in there. I was looking hard at the one to be sure that was the cowboy upside down behind the bulls body that just chucked him. All you see is legs and boots - I'm sure that one hurt after he came to the ground.

Your the first one to to comment on those Dave. I was beginning to wonder if they were too tough to distinguish, even though they stuck right out to me.
I set the camera with a quick shutter speed and to snap continuous pics until I let off the shutter button. So I ended up with 4 to 6 pics of the process of each cowboy getting bucked, and posted the best shots from each group. It was actually kinda fun.

Some great action pics alright but with this slow connection it locked up after it got into the riders. Several of the ones I saw are dramatic. Good camera work!

I was also going to comment on that last pic. Not the blonde, but the brunette.

Yeah you can probably tell I watched that one most of the afternoon.
