Bull riding place wanted!

[cavemanno1]

Sure will do!Only gonna do it next year and in the meantime i will get back to horse riding.Now the bull riding school starts to appeal to me a lot.Always wanted to live and work on a ranch!

Hey 70 sublime,don't you need a free labour on your ranch?I'd do it for the experience and some place to crash!I'm handy with carpentry tools and work usually 12 hours a day at work so hard work isn't unknown for me!

Oh yeah,I'm serious,sir!Never been to Kansas before.How long is the open invitation last?Are you gonna join me as is riding a bull or just come along to ser how high i can fly!

Told my wife last night that i wanna do that stupid thing i have been talking about for years.Asked her to guess what was it and after the crock hunting she said,"no,not the bull thing again?"
Since we both love the United States she promised me to come with me and bring our son as well.So we are gonna have a roadtrip over there next year!But if i finally find a car that i can buy this year then i'm gonna fly out there to check it out and ride that bull!

Something to think about when it comes to playing with/riding on bulls:

My uncle Bob was a professional cowboy (team steer roping, ranked 2nd or 3rd in world back in the early 1970s).  Unfortunately, he got gored by a large bull on his ranch back in 1975 when he was trying to put it in another pen.  He thought that the bull was a mild tempered one, but it turned on him for some reason.  It came very close to killing him, he almost bled to death getting to the hospital.  He was forced to give up the rodeo life after that injury (lost an important finger in the process), so he took up farming instead.  Bob understands well what one of those can do if you do not let them be.  I also lost a cousin when he was crushed between metal railings after being rammed by bulls while loading them onto a trailer.  He was working for a rancher and something spooked the cattle at the wrong time.  Ranching can be a dangerous occupation....

Being from Kansas, I give bulls the respect that they deserve.  Just like people, some of them are mild, some of them are very aggressive.  Unfortunately, some of them can change from the mild to the aggressive at the drop of a hat.  Best to give them their space...

I do respect them!I'm not going to abuse or tease them.
I know it's dangerous and you have to be a bit loony to do it.But if it wasn't dangerous and difficult to do,there wouldn't be a sport.

I ride motorbikes since i was 12 and saw a few guys crash and die infront of my eyes but that doesn't stop me riding.When someone ask about how to get into bikes 'cuz they wanna ride i don't tell them it's dangerous don't do it.Of course it's dangerous very dangerous but you could die in a bus stop or run over by a car.Can't look at life's challanges or our own challanges like that!
I just came back from the Isle of Man TT the most dangerous motorbike race ever!They are really crazy to ride like that but if i could i would as well!

I'm sure if i ride on a bull lots of times i will get hurt!Like they say,it's not if  but when.Same as riding.I have crashed once but luckily it wasn't anything serious.
Last year i was in Pamplona to run with the bulls and saw an ozzy guy gored by the bull pretty badly.When the run was over all those peope were locked in the arena and a 6 bulls were let out one by one for ten minutes.The bulls were chasing people around the arena.Some got gored and stomped on or flew up in the air!It's crazy and scary but that didn't stop me going back for 3 more days.The closest a bull's horn got to me was two inches!


Obviously i don't want to get hurt but a few broken ribs wouldn't be a huge price to pay to say,yes i have done it!

Thanks for your advise!
