It was more like a bull named Pocket Rocket and 1 second flat. Actually I was in the air more then I was on the bull. My wife said the rider should be called Fool Man Shu!
Yes, my wife was out of town and yes she was upset when she found out that a 51 year old man attempted to ride a bull that’s been on the PBS circuit! She cant trust me to be at home by myself anymore! Out of all the crazy things I have done in my life, Skydiving,whitewater kayaking, scuba diving, repelling off cliffs,hiking into back country for weeks most people would not go into. This was ranked #1 in being stupid!
I was on an eight bull rotation so the first professional that road my bull was only on it 2.5 seconds. A Cowboy turned around to me and said “yep he tired him out for ya”! After that a guy broke his leg and another got stopped on. I was the only one in the back wearing a baseball cap, I had rookie written all over me.
I put on a vest that looked like it would stop a bullet and maybe a horn but not a 2,000 lb hoof! As I was getting tied in the bull was moving around in the gate crushing my legs each time it got jumpy. I think the bull was just warming me up for things to come. They told me to sit almost right on top of my fist and keep my head down and my other arm out. When the gate opened I don’t remember much out of the shoot. The first lung I came down right on my crouch, I think that’s when I lost my grip and went airborne. I was in the air more then I was on the bull.
Man! When I hit the ground it knocked the wind out of me, I was in a daze and all I remember was some guy yelling at me to run for the fence and a whole bunch of rodeo clowns running around in circles after a bull I was just on. I''m thinking to myself? What World am I in! You know those fences there are around 6ft high and when you’re on the ground with the wind knocked out of you looking up those fences look more like 14 feet high , and a mile away! One second of fame and five days of pain! It gives a new meaning to the words “Live like you were dieing”! Ill have more pictures and a video coming
If I can figure out how to attach files I will show you some pictures.
