We go to Laughlin Nevada about once a year. This trip was specifically to
photograph the rodeo. Rather then just 5 pictures of the rodeo this page is
specifically on bull riding. The object for the rider is to stay on the bull for 8 seconds.
Form and style get you more points and the bulls actions can get more points. |

The poor guy to the left has his hand caught and can't get it out. The bull
proceeds to spin around and the cowboys is being spun around too. He ends up
getting his face planted in the dirt. Ouch... What a way to make a living.
The bulls are very powerful and explosive in their movements. |

The cowboy defender in the blue shirt sees the cowboy about to be tossed
off. He runs in front of the bull putting his hands in the bulls face
which pisses him off and the bull chases him. He leads the bull away from
the cowboy. Sometimes he actually hits the bull on the head to get his
attention. Another tough way to earn a living. |
