Bull riding

Video link

Here is a link to a video of a successful attempt at a bull ride.  This ride took place in Park Rapids over forth of July weekend 2017.  Bull riding has many different aspects to it including those of the rider and how he rides and the bull and how he bucks.  Bull riding is scored by officials out of 100, the scorer looks at the bull for half of the score and the rider and his mount for the other 50.  A really good score is high 90+ and a good/average score is one in the 80's.  I personally like to watch the ride a few times looking at different aspects such as how much the rider spurs showing how much he has control.  Another aspect would be how high, fast, and quick the bull bucks also how much he changes directions.  The last aspect  I like to look for is the bull fighters.  One could argue that bull fighters are most crucial aspect to an attempted ride; they are the ones who help distract the bull from the rider when the rider dismounts and pull the rider out of harms way if need be.  Bull fighting is a very daring profession.

i thought i'd shake things up a bit from the norm, so here is josie! --morgan Hi everyone, I’m Josie and today I’ll be taking over Morgan’s blog for the day! My blog is mostly based around coffee and things that involve coffee, and Morgan’s is mostly about photography. So I’ve decided to combine our two topics together to make one awesome post about coffee and photography.  This post will show you how to take the most instagramable coffee post! One of the most important things when taking a picture is the angle in which the picture is taken. The angle shows how the photographer sees the objects in which is the focus. As you can see in this pic they took it from a upward angle to show the coffee and how it looks but also to focus on the writing n the background of the picture. Much like the other one in this picture they wanted to really show off the art that has been incorporated into the coffee and by making the background blurry they also make it so the more f

8seconds.

three photos all in the matter of a split second. three perspectives:: bull:  i'm getting antsy as the flank man secures the strap. buck. buck. buck until this flank strap comes off and this cowboy dismounts.  buck high and fast to get a better score over this cowboy.  after i go behind the gate everything is all of the sudden calm, as am i when the flank strap is released. cowboy:  it's only 8 seconds on top of a nearly 2000 pound animal, i can do it as i have before.  my adrenaline is rushing but when i nod queuing the chute to open; my adrenaline peaks.  finally, after what feels like minutes, the buzzer goes off and when i am dismounting the bull throws me and i give the chute a nice hug, roughest hug i ever had... as i leave the arena i am thankful for the bull fighters for keeping me out of harms way. bullfighter(s):  maintain the triangle around the bull and keep moving with him.  quick! get in between the bull and rider, distract the bull! hey, he
