I only won $250 all summer. And then I got crippled. I had a horse step on me while performing and it was messed up for a while.

I really didn't go that hard, although a couple of years I did. Some guys work 125 to 130 rodeos a year. they're just goin' all the time.

I'm healed up and I feel great. After going through the fire, it's great to be out performing again.

The breeding programs for the bulls have improved significantly. The bulls are at a much higher caliber.

I admire bull riders for their passion and the uniqueness each one of them has.

My best year I made $25,000. Of course, that was back in the '70s.

My partner and I won the race, and I threw my hat into the air and bent to pick it up. Everyone started laughin' because I had split the back end of my pants out, and I wasn't wearing shorts.
