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.

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.
