My best year I made $25,000. Of course, that was back in the '70s.
Sleepin' in the truck wasn't so bad. Shoot, I kind of liked that, myself.
In fact my son subscribes to Pro Bull Rider magazine.
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.
Why not just do something a little more on the gentle side?
You hope your buddies will win so you don't have to loan them any money.
