Bull!

On Monday April 9th, a bunch of us guys went up to Lebanon County near Anville, PA to watch a friend do some bull riding. Bron is a young single guy looking for a cool hobby. Bull riding is his choice.

Bron’s first ride was short but interesting. He dismounted (or should I say he was dismounted) on the wrong side of the bull which tends to cause a cowboy’s hand to get stuck in the rope. This is when bull riding becomes “cowboy flinging.” It was a pretty dangerous situation as Bron was at ground level, stuck to the side of this bull who was jumping, spinning, bucking and stomping. When he finally broke free he didn’t land very far from the bulls stomping ground. Fortunately, the clowns did their job and Bron quickly rolled away from the bull. No injuries. I took some video of this event, and it looks like he was awfully close to squish-ville.

The second ride was a bit longer, although still not eight seconds. Bron was dismounted off the back of the bull, taking a considerable amount of air with one leg extending high to one side. Nice form, Bron.

I respect Bron for his injury-free bull riding. I couldn't keep myself in one piece while going for a peanut butter cup.

I will post a video of Bron’s rides on YouTube when I get a chance.
