Too Cold in the Arena for Photos

Sorry about this, you'll have to read this story without any visuals...

So, you've seen rodeo. I've talked about rodeo, PBR, The Nile that comes through Billings, Roughies, Loopies, Timies, etc.

Wow, is it a different sport when your friend's husband is playing rodeo clown.

I'm sorry, "Bull Fighter."

Not Bullfighter, but Bull FIGHTING. Watch the whole video. Listen to the voices of the Bull Fighters, and watch how insane these guys are. They're, like, the rodeo version of a suped-up Flight Nurse. When the dude falls off the psycho-pissed-wild-bucking-bull, the Fighter runs in (you can see this well on the video) and stands between the dude and the bull to keep the dude safe. Essentially, these guys say "Hey, look over here!!"

Now, imagine sitting next to that Fighter's wife and kid while the rodeo is going on. I don't think I've ever spent a more tense 2 hours.
