I love watching bull riding. I think it is the most exciting sport in the world to see live. I have had the pleasure of announcing bull riding action for years and have a deep appreciation for the athletes and the animals. It is a true American tradition.

My introduction to the sport came from an odd source. I remember being a kid and watching the Superstars competition on Saturdays on TV. This is where athletes from different sports would all compete against each other in uncommon sports. I remember watching Larry Mahan, who I had never heard of before, try to do the obstacle course. He flopped in the water like a kid in the pool and seemed so out of place yet having a blast. I started to follow Larry and learned about this bull riding stuff and fell in love with it.

Next weekend the best in the business will be the Bud Center. I hope you are making your plans to take you and your family there as well. It is going to get western.
