This is a violent series. Seldom does a bull go after a rider like this one did
The beginning

2 First butt

3

4 Going for the head strike while getting punched

5 The head shot

6

7 Walk off after 5 min on the ground. Notice no helmet on this rider, his choice.

Bull 1 Rider 0

This is one reason my hobby is photography. I have never been injured by a camera.

Nice shots.

Terrific work, Rags. That's a wonderful example of making the most out of an opportunity when it's presented to you. Well done!!!

Thanks guys for the comments, they're appreciated.

Bullriding... pretty exciting stuff. The bull always wins if he's a good "bucker?"

This event is like an elimination for bulls or riders, to go national for the Professional Bull Riders Assn.

If riders don't make it, they get another job; if bulls don't buck good enough - they're hamburger (literally)

Great series!

Thanks for looking in and the generous comments

BTW, I don't know how he made out after he left the ring with the medic.

The event is a couple of hours away from me & I don't see their local news
