River Vaughn: Well actually I didn’t start off the bull I got start of the street.
Casey: You just stepped on by sheep and you start wondering how about getting
step on by the bull?
Elijah: Well you think it is when you’re little.
Casey: When you’re looking at it when you think it is?
You started when you were 4-years-old?
Matt Skeen: Yes sir.
Casey: You gone down on a 2000 pound bull when you were 4?
Matt: No.
Casey: I like it. The boar.
Austin Williams: I just turn out there.
Casey: You can turn your fear in to pure adrenalin and let it go out with the bull.
Austin: Yes sir.
Casey: Can just do as much when I talk about the girls?
Chris Guinn: Oh yeah.
Dillon Bragg: I scared him.
Casey: I can look at you and tell you aren’t scared a link.
So when you get on a bull what’s going through your head.
Loyd Sisk: Nothing really.
Casey: That’s the same thing with me all the time.
What are you working on to get ready for that?
Gus Huff: I hit weight bench you know.
Casey: You’re pretty slow.
Guss: No.
Casey: What’s your biggest injury for you?
Cole Waters: I was stepped on the chest.
Casey: Stepped on the chest. You are looking to go on after that one.
Round the bulls.
Dalton Bragg: Small I would be.
Casey: You’re a road riding, what do you like better?
Cody Nichols: Riding.
Casey: I bet girls like that.
Cody: I don’t know.
Casey: Look at this hair, see this hair. See this hair see that grip 16 years old. You
don’t get to go out with me, when I go out you don’t get to go out.
Fortunately enough we will be joined now by Robert Steen. Robert thank
you so much for joining us buddy.
Robert: Thank you so much for being here.
Casey: You are the president of this kind of organization. First tell us what are
you guys about?
Robert: Several years ago we’ve been around with the junior rodeos in 10 or 15
years in Georgia and watch to score the bull rides to score the rodeo.
Unfortunately graduated so some of us got together and decided to take
bull riding to a next level, Justin McBride, JW heart these guys that are on
TV. They started on real bulls not steel. They started on a dream then one
day to be a world champion. I mean that’s just that’s what they do it for. I
guess there’s a little bit of thing that they want to be a world champion.
They want to be the best.
We decided to change junior rodeo in aspect of we’re not going to try to
protect the kids I mean don’t get me wrong we want to protect but running
beside a bull lining 20 dads up catches when he falls. And the problem
with riding bulls is you either have to set it back love it more than you
would ever do and get out of there before it kills you and if you were
having a child that was going to a junior rodeo and all goes to the finals
before 10 years old running steer. September gets in the high school gets
all 2000 pound bull and gets his head bashed down because he didn’t
know what to expect. So we wanted to change that.
It’s all about bull riding we also started barrel racing for the girls this year
but its to make that a bull rider and safer bull riders believe or not even if a
bulls buck harder its to make them play.
Casey: And I’m a football player to me football is more dangerous, huge collision
that’s what gets everybody nervous. When somebody is going for play off
and going half speed.
Robert: With the bull it’s the same thing. The bull the runs down the pen at 45
miles an hour runs into the side of the pen because his afraid or he’s not
really bucking it gets hung up underneath him. Your bull fighters can’t
catch him and that’s dangerous, a bull that bucks hard it’s easier to ride.
And my son is just happens to be one of the kids you’ll talk to and he’s
actually been a master champion he’s got three state titles, he’s got a bull
scholarship for college for bull riding and he’s 16, he’s won 33 buckles, 3
saddles, full scholarship and 18000 cash at 16 but he does it simply
because he loves it. He wants a buck. He can ride a buck but turns back
and laughs. You give him one down that runs down the thin is to always
everybody laughs at me but I always use bread flour. Bread flour we went
out there everyday through 5 yard Texas.
When it came down to throw that bomb he couldn’t do it the same thing
with the bull riding, you got to condition your body.
Casey: Well Robert thank you so much for having us and thank you.
Robert: Thank you for being here, you all have fun.
Casey: --- going to do it for us today here at the Georgia Bull Rider’s Association
Rodeo we’ve had a blast. No better way than to spend a Saturday and
come for bull ride, I thought it was country football but I was wrong. It’s
all right here at rodeo.
We’ll see you back here tomorrow on Clubhouse gas.
