Just some fun stuff from PBR Glendale Invitational

Holy flaming bull heads Batman! This is not a rodeo! THIS is the PBR! (for my friend Stockyard Queen). At least they didn't get the Border Patrol to try and ride spooky horses past the bull heads this year. When did they paint them silver?



The bullfighters of the PBR doing the dangerous job of distracting the bull so that the rider can get away safely. These fellows are amazing to watch in action.



According to my 200 some odd photos, the bulls often don't fall for the bullfighter tactics and go after the rider anyway. Here, Valderon lights out across the arena, the bull lights out after Valderon, and everyone else lights out after the bull.
It kinda looks like everyone is chasing that Brazilian dude.



You know how they talk about "the rider covered that bull"? Well, if this rider's missionary position is any indication, the bull is about to cover him (in the language of horse breeders). Darned if we didn't get home in time to watch the telecast and hear Hummer report on this ride. His exact words were "That bull had his way with him!" Great job Hummer,
you made us send our coffee through our noses.



I think Lohstroh is pretending to be a wounded mountain lion on a canned hunt.
Bet the bull is laughing.

Some great buckoffs from the PBR Glendale Invitational

Bet he's good at Twister too.


What must go through a rider's mind at this moment...



Rider should have gotten points for Levitation.



I don't remember the name of the bull but it should have been Trampoline.
