Just wondering if anyone here has done rodeo before? When I was a kid I always rode horses. At the county fair I did bull calf riding, then went to steer riding. Once I was 16 I was ready to ride a real bull. I paid my $20 entry fee and signed my life away and rode a bull. My first ride was 2.3 seconds. I was addicted and I rode until I was about 25. Riding a bull is awesome, the adrennaline rush I got while sitting in the chute gettin ready cant be beat by anything. After riding the bull I was always so hyper, I could have run 10 miles before getting tired. I had a few fans, my wife and a few friends that were real noise makers. Tonight at the grocery I ran into someone in line, they kinda did the second look thing and came up to me and asked if I ever did rodeo. I told them yes and they said that they loved my final ride. It brought back many many memories such as the wild nights afterwards, the many broken bones, the bad falls, the good rides, the long drives to get to rodeos, the good friends made, the smell, it was all so great. I almost wish I could do it again but my wife always tells me that I am getting old and that I would be on the doctors s**t list, and if I were to get hurt what would the kids do, that kind of thing. Every once in a while I will go and jump on the broodmare that aint broke just for the rush.
Has anyone else ever done rodeo even mutton bustin as a kid?
