Hey, way to go! I really respect that! It takes a real man to look your fears right in the eye and say "come and get me".
I rode my first bull when I was 11 years old. Not some over weight pasture bull either. This was a rodeo bred bramer cross that had some juice to it. I was way to scared to fall off and I ended up riding it for the full 8. Well, more like 28 because I had no idea how or when to get off. Anyway, that ride did it for me. I ended up spending the the next 8 years riding bulls. Crawled on around 350 of them. Then I decided to call it quits so I began fighting bulls as a cowboy protecter. That lasted another 9 years. That went pretty well and ended up twice being ranked in the top 20 guys in the wrangler bullfights. Have several scars and many stories. There was alot of pain here and there but looking back at it all I really dont think I'd change any of it. I've had more fun then any 10 people will have in a life time. Seen things I'll never forget and seen somethings I wish I could forget. I've laughed with royalty, danced with politicians, drank with wino's and drank with celebrities, dated models, and smoked with Willie /forum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/whistle.gif. Thinking about it right now..., I cant remember half the fun I've had!
