IF
IF YOU
IF YOU CAN KEEP IT UP A LITTLE BIT. >> HE'S GOT A LOT BETTER CHANCE
,BABY4@ TAKES SOME SERIOUS
COURAGE.
PROFESSIONAL BULL4@ RIDERS ARE N
TOWN AT THE PENDLETON WHISKEY
VELOCITY TOURS4@ KNOXVILLE
INVITATIONAL COMING AT THOMPSON
BOWLING ARENA4@.
THAT'S AN AMAZING PLACE THAT
QUICKLY4@ TODD WILLINGHAM JOINIG
US, ONE OF THE CONTENDERS AND
YOU MAKE THAT LOOK SO EASY.
>> YOU'VE BEEN DOING IT A LONG
TIME.
>> YEAH, I'VE BEEN DOING IT
QUITE SOME TIME IN THAT PLACE.
IS4@ ALWAYS IT WOULD MAKE IT LOK
EASY BUT THAT'S WHAT I'M
SUPPOSED TO DO.
THE BETTER I LOOK ON THE BALL
AND AND TO THE VIEWERS
WATCHING.
LIKE IF YOU SAY HEY, THAT LOOKS
VERY EASY.
THAT MEANS MY SCORE IS GOING TO
BE ABOVE THE BULLS SCORE.
THAT MEANS I DID WHAT I'M
SUPPOSED AS A VIEWER AND I'M
LOOKING AT IT B4@ECAUSE I LOVE
WATCHING.
THERE'S NO POSSIBLE WAY GETTING
ON AN ANIMAL.
I MEAN THE WAY4@ WORDS YOU'RE
LIKE ADRENALINE LEVEL, RIGHT?
RIGHT BEFORE THAT GATOR IT IS
OUT OF THE ROOF.
>> I MEAN IT TAKES SOME TIME
EVEN AFTER THE RIDE AND LATER
ON I4@N THE AFTERNO4@ON, YOU KN
AFTER THE EVENTS OVER FOR ME TO
CALM DOWN TO COME BACK TO
NORMAL REALITY4@.
I MEAN YOU'RE DEALING WITH A
BULL THAT CAN WEIGH UP TO TWO
THOUSAND4@ POUNDS.
OH, 4@WHETHER HE WANTS4@ TO DO S
GET YOU OFF HIS BACK AND THEN
EITHER RUN OVER OR TRY TO RUN
IT OVER FOR SURE.
BUT IT'S4@ MUCH MORE THAN JUST
TRYING TO HOLD ON.
>> THEIR STRATEGY HERE.
TALK4@ ABOUT THE SKILL AND KIND
OF THE MOVES NANCY.
>> YES, THERE'S A LOT OF
STRATEGY THAT GOES ON IN BULL
RIDING.
IT'S ONLY EIGHT SECONDS BUT YOU@
WANT TO GET IN RHYTHM RIGHT
AWAY SO YOU CAN MAKE MOVE FROM
MOVE FROM WHEREVER THE BULL
DOES.
BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT GOING TO
HAVE A SET PATTERN.
THEY'RE NOT NECESSARILY JUST
GOING TO SPIN LAP OR SPIN.
RIGHT.
THEY'RE GOING TO TRY TO GO LEFT
AND RIGHT THEN JUMP FORWARD AND
THEN TRY TO ROLL.
SO YOU WANT TO TRY TO MATCH
EACH MOVE FROM THE RACE4@ AND
EIGHT SECONDS IS ONLY EIGHT
SECONDS.
BUT MAN, IT SURE DOES.
ALL4@ RIGHT.
TELL US ABOUT SOME OF THE
EQUIPMENT4@ YOU HAVE HERE.
THIS IS THIS IS MY GEAR HERE.
THESE ARE JUST CHAPS.
EVERYBODY KNOWS A CHAMP.
THEY'RE PRETTY MUCH JUST FOR
SHOW.
AND4@ ADVERTISERS SPONSOR THIS
YEAR AS OF THIS4@ EVERYBODY IS
MANDATORY TO WEAR ONE OF THESE
IS JUST LIKE A SOMEWHAT LIKE A
KEVLAR VEST BUT IT'S NOT NEAR
AS HARD AS4@ AFTER A LENGTHY
PROCESS WAS KILLED.
SOME4@ SOME YEARS AGO.
I MEAN WHY BEFORE AND THEN IT'S
THIS HERE NOW IS A HELMET WHICH
IS GETTING REALLY POPULAR IN
COURT NOWADAYS.
I THINK IF YOU'RE BORN AFTER 94
YOU HAVE TO WEAR THESE.
SO4@ IT'S NOT ALL THE OLDER GUYS
AND EVENTUALLY YOU'LL SEE
EVERYBODY WEARING A HELMET AND
THEN YOU HAVE MY ROPE RIGHT
THERE.
THE MOST IMPORTANT THING.
4@THAT'S THE ONLY THING THAT
KEEPS ME HELD ONTO THAT BULL.
DO YOU USE THAT SAME ROPE?
THAT'S IT. 4@
THAT'S ALL THAT'S THE SAME NO
MATTER THE BALL YOU USE THAT
ROPE.
THAT'S MY ROPE.
IT'S PRETTY NEW.
IT'S ONLY BEEN ON A FEW.
SO4@ IT LOOKS DIRTY JUST BECAUSE
LAST WEEK IN THE ARENA WAS
REALLY DUSTY BUT IT4@ HAS VERY
NEW ROPE AND AIN'T BEEN ON THE
NAVY BIBLE.
SO WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF YOU
CAME OUT HOME ONE WITH TWO
HANDS?
>> THIS KIND OF WAY I GUESS4@ YU
CAN GO HEAVY ON BASIC GEAR UP
TO.
ANYBODY4@ CAN DO WHA4@T TO DO AT
IRAN.
4@ONE HAND IS THE HARD PART AND
JUST AS YOU SKIRT AWAY FROM THE
BALL HARDER STAYING ON AND
GETTING AWAY.
>> GETTING4@ AWAY I BELIEVE THAT
MAY BE JUST BECAUSE YOU BOTH
ARE SMART HE CAN FEEL ME.
SO IF HE HE FEELS ME ON HIS
BACK AND THEN I MAY DAY SECOND
AND I'M GOING TO IT I'M GETTING
OFF PRETTY QUICK, YOU KNOW.
4@AND SO WHEN HE'S FIT SEES ME
YOU KNOW WHEN I'VE GOT TO GET
UP HE CAN TELL MY WEIGHT SHIFT
SO THE BULLS CAN TURN.
OH MY GOODNESS.
RIGHT.
SO I MEAN AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE
VIDEO THAT WAS PRETTY CLOSE TO
ME4@ RIGHT AWAY.
LUCKILY, YOU KNOW, MY4@ WHEEL4@S
WERE A LOT FASTER THAN WHERE
I'M SURE AT SOME POINT YOU'VE
GOTTEN HIT PRETTY GOOD ALL THE
TIME4@.
AND IT'S NOT THE BAD PART
GETTING HIT WITH THEIR HEAD AND
THE HORNS4@ DON'T HURT T4@HAT TY

PROTECTION.
BUT WHEN THE FEET GET YOU,
THAT'S THAT'S WHERE THE REAL
BECAUSE YOU KNOW EIGHTEEN
HUNDRED POUNDS COMING DOWN ON
