If you're lucky enough to draw a good horse, you still have to ride him, then the next ones. So It's probably 80 percent luck and 20 percent skill.

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

When you get a little older, you think, I'd like to make a little money and stick it away or buy a place - or win the world championship.

And takin' a bath in the creek. That's the stuff that really made it worthwhile. Anybody can stay in a motel.

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

In fact my son subscribes to Pro Bull Rider magazine.

Sleepin' in the truck wasn't so bad. Shoot, I kind of liked that, myself.
