When you leave the shoot right what do you look at what do you look are you
looking like is your because sometimes they say like if you're in the gym you're
doing squats they say look at the ceiling or something you know there's
like a place for your focus what is it like yes stare at their neck muscle that
big hump they got on them you pretty much stare at that because their
shoulders is what you follow if you look at their head their symbols sling
their
head everywhere so if you get too focused on that you're you're gonna go
cross-eyed during the damn ride so if you look at their shoulders you and you
don't even really go off of what you see it's all feel but that's the best
focus point just looking at their shoulders yeah stay right down in there
yep it's pretty much just you don't even know what's going on but that's where
you
look and at a certain point can you hear the
crack can you hear when it's going good I just I don't hear much when I'm
riding
you know it's kind of and you want to say you hear the whistle but you dang
near
don't even hear that and it's just become routine that when it gets around to
that eight-second clock you know it's time to get off and at eight seconds uh
what happens in a buzzer sounds a whistle what goes on buzzer sounds in the
arena
and then uh then it's your job to get off them without getting killed so it uh
it
almost gets harder than crazy because you think like you just did your job and
it's like okay good job no but you still got to get off get away not get hooked
ran over the worst part of the job is before and after you get to work yeah for
these guys but we're lucky like we've got bullfighters out there that are there
to
try to distract the bull make sure they get away but it's not always that easy
what's the pop what's the way to dismount so what how do you do that what
you pretty much if you whatever hand you ride with you go away from it
and uh you well you go into it I guess you go towards it
and uh you kind of wait for that bull to kick and you kind of lean back and
throw your leg over his back at the same time and kind of let him throw you out
there and ideally you land on your feet but it's kind of rare if you land on
your feet really damn and the second you hit the ground
you're scurrying off yeah a lot of times you see that just kind of right
yeah move yeah that's wild and so when the bull stepped on you got stepped on
last
year you said uh 2017 2017 yeah I got stepped on
and it I mean of course it took my breath away and it was like oh shit
did you know what had happened oh yeah right when it happened I was like oh
fuck I
just broke everything in there and that's the scariest part getting stepped
on is you don't know if it just punctured something what that's the scariest
damn
thing and uh I rolled over and that bull was right there and that bull
fighter went in and took his took him away but then I had to get up and run
oh out of the arena essentially with four broke ribs collapsed lung and
lacerated liver so if you lay in there you're screwed you if you got a
broke leg you got to get the hell out of there
it is the most common thing when they when they step on is it usually I guess
you don't know where they're gonna step is no yeah it's usually broke ribs yeah
broke ribs you can guarantee every time you get stepped on pretty much
damn god dang it's wild I don't see NFL guys running around
you don't see that you don't see you don't see it anywhere else and I think
that
that's kind of the the intrigue like say you know that brings new people in
that's why it's the fastest growing sport because
you don't see that you don't see guys getting carted off in in our arena rarely
do you see a stretcher because the guys want to walk out yeah if if they've got
busted ribs they've got a busted spleen like they still want to walk out they
don't want to help yeah yeah I mean and I don't know if that's an old school
kind
of sign of weakness or if it's just hurry up because we got to keep the show
going or what it is but it's crazy I've seen guys get up and walk out with
broken necks like insane insane injuries and probably that adrenaline's rushing
you so much too still huh oh yeah yeah the only time I've been carted off I got
knocked out actually and uh when I came to I really didn't come to until I got
me
back to the sports med room but I guess I woke up out in the arena and when I
hit
the ground he kind of he bent me weird so I woke up out in the arena and I didn't
know what the hell I was saying but I was saying oh my fucking back hurts and
they're like what where and I'm like I don't know I was just I didn't know what
the hell I was saying because I was still knocked out essentially and they're
like oh god well we got to cart him out his back might be broke and then they
get
me in the sports med room and I really come to and I'm like what the fuck am I
doing on a stretcher like well you said your your back hurt it's like fuck I
don't
know what I was saying I just now realize what's really going on so that's the
only time I've been carted away because essentially I was just speaking mumbo
jumbo because I was still out it's like being drunk you can't hold me
accountable yeah you know when you've been stepped on yeah do they have two
riders on one bull at the same time do they ever do that I've seen it before
yeah
not at our events but when you're dicking around in the practice pen anything
goes and so is that like is that a sport you think that'll grow into something
like
is that a possible thing man I hope so like a tag team kind of thing can you
imagine like you just start putting teams together my brother and I used to sit
on
the toilet at the same time we're kids sometimes facing each other no no yeah
you
couldn't you couldn't face back to have to go back to back yeah right come on
man
have some respect well I mean like but like where does like toilet's not that
big I
know it's not that big man you gotta have good aim
dude we used to go over to this kid Roy's house and he would play all these
games he
was kind of a now in hindsight I think he was kind of a homoerotic kind of
gentleman you know or he preferred men as lovers you know but when we were kids
we
didn't know right he would make us get in his bathtub and like he would play
battleship or whatever and he would get in his toilet and be like the captain
from
the really yeah like hat and everything uh no uh he might have I don't know if
he had like a captain's hat or something but he would just get in there and
bark
orders at us what'd you say his name was Roy don't you think like everybody has
a
Roy in their life at some time though like somehow some way somewhere yeah this
dude I mean he yeah he would say oh the seas are getting high and stuff and
like we'd have to turn on the water and make it all like crazy it was like you
never had to like stick your face in the water and like blow bubbles did you
like pretend you were out like the motorboat no it never got it never
got that crazy yeah it never escalated but he'd be in the toilet just yelling
stuff at us dude he was kind of a miscreant so it's like he was the captain
you were the the seaman yeah yeah
bless his heart yeah bless something dude he was a wildcat he ended up going
into the military dude really yeah so he got in there man
so now he's a legit captain yeah now he is he wasn't joking he wasn't fucking
around
back in the day he had his mind set and he was going for it you were basically
his little
plastic green army man he was just practicing for the real thing like you
contributed yeah
basically you were in the service yeah dude I mean like you helped prep him for
a career
that's good shit man thank you for your service yeah I never thought about it
like that because
yeah he really went in the military man that's crazy we did it that's really
