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, hey, hey i call. the bull is now behind the gate as i rush over to be sure that the rider is in good shape and help him up.
