WOW! Having the unique opportunity to meet several of the subjects of this book has given me a unique opportunity. This book shares the countless road stories and "founding fathers" of the sport. from the pain and anguish of being run over by a 2,000 pound animal to the joy of entertaining a crowd of thousands, it's all part of the life. A must-have coffee table book for anybody with even the smallest intrest in professional rodeo. Excellent photos!!
