Making 8
The Complete Story of ‘The Bull Riders’
Well, we have come to the finals of our story about the professional bull rider. I hope you enjoyed it and learned a bit about what makes these guys tick. I would like to thank all the riders who were kind enough to speak with me and entertain my questions. For a complete novice coming to the sport of bull riding, I was surprised at how generous they were with their knowledge. A great group of athletes that could use your support. Here’s some links to get you started.

Awesome series and wonderful action shots of the bull riders! Well done Justin!
Great Story Justin. Keep up the great work!
Thanks Arlan! I really appreciate that.
Fantastic story and photos – those 8 seconds in slow motion were something to see. That bull was doing his dance and the rider should be proud for staying on like that.
Thanks much! I really appreciate that. That ride was amazing.
