I do have a PBR sticker on it and once a guy in a Ford truck drove up next to me on the freeway and hollered something at me while giving me a thumbs up. Er, thanks? Bridging the cultural divide, I guess. ;)<br /><br />And thanks! I am still sorting the photos but will try to get some more of the decent ones up. And I have made the potentially foolish decision to draw as many riders as I can before the 2010 finals, so there could be more drawings coming up as well.Shawkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03702605335177150318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4866947503973668447.post-62462752311841378762010-01-25T16:00:44.530-08:002010-01-25T16:00:44.530-08:00I got a BIG laugh out of "the trusty Prius an...I got a BIG laugh out of "the trusty Prius and I glided into the parade of Ford F-150s..." because my friend (the illustrious E) drives such a vehicle, and we have taken it to BFTS events. They do indeed glide!<br /><br />Wonderful write-up, as always. And from what you've shared with us, I think Adriano is correct about your potential as an artist, too!<br /><br />I'll withold comment on the judging, as it appears SQ (aka the high priestess of bullriding) has posted a blog on the subject, so I'll rant there. <br /><br />And those pictures, milady? De-li-cious. More please!Black Bootshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12788451099926299565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4866947503973668447.post-84450652311322733252010-01-24T11:38:41.189-08:002010-01-24T11:38:41.189-08:00I don't really mind Flint but I wish he'd ...I don't really mind Flint but I wish he'd find a few new things to do. After you see his run-through of gags four or five times, it's really enough. He still gets laughs, though, so I guess he doesn't see the need to change it up much.<br /><br />I did see the coverage but prior to that I saw him hanging around the chutes, and he just looked really down. I actually have a few pictures (one of him sliding off the side of his bull and several of him around the chutes) but I didn't post them anywhere as he seemed so depressed.<br /><br />I was interested to see that in the Anaheim coverage of Friday night, they also did a split-screen and discussed it, and it does seem pretty clear that was a bad call on the judge's part. However, I don't think it would have become such a huge issue if Ty Murray hadn't started in on it. That's not to say that it shouldn't be an issue, but I think scoring irregularity wasn't limited to this one time that Ty Murray pointed it out, and people are going haywire with conspiracy theories and letting their anger over other issues boil over into this one-- as if they had permission from Ty to let loose or something.<br /><br />Have fun! Looking forward to your post.Shawkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03702605335177150318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4866947503973668447.post-86513696114717050572010-01-24T08:27:30.832-08:002010-01-24T08:27:30.832-08:00Good post as always, S. Thanks!
I agree with y...Good post as always, S. Thanks! <br /><br />I agree with you about them having to change along the way and it does look like their moving up to the next tier with the new, fancier production. Now, I do think Flint is good at what he does, but I didn't miss his opening act. After seeing him as many times as I have, smaller doses are easier for me to take. Besides, I was getting tired of the dancing fool that he'd choose every night.<br /><br />I'm not a Kody fan, either, but the look of defeat was sad--did you see it on the tv footage? <br /><br />In regards to the judging controversy, I agree with your points, however, when it comes to the riding style, the new PBR Now program on Thursdays did something interesting while discussing the controversy. They showed them on a split screen, starting at the same exact time and JW told us to watch carefully--it was the same exact ride. And it was. Same basic body and arm movements, same mistake at the same time in the ride and a buck off that had Elliot falling just a fraction of a second behind JB. It was uncanny! Then JW said that while he doesn't think that there was any bias on Shearer's part, he does believe that action needed to be taken because he can't see how JB's rider score warranted a 4 point higher mark given how similar the rides were--something that a seasoned judge should have seen from the get-to.<br /><br />Ok, I'm off to get ready for my third day. Yesterday was so long and we gabbed so much (and this day will be worse as there will be 4 of us and I'll be in "parent" mode) that I hope I remember enough for a proper post! You ladies set the bar high!shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06917315124069408543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4866947503973668447.post-61823464098993928942010-01-23T10:21:47.504-08:002010-01-23T10:21:47.504-08:00I was watching the live event feed thing on the PB...I was watching the live event feed thing on the PBR site and the number of re-rides was not encouraging. It's pretty uneven when some guys can get an 89 and others can't ever seem to get a bull that could ever get them near that.<br /><br />And thanks! I was an art major but that never really translated into a career.<br /><br />Glad you enjoyed the post. Looking forward to more reports from you all soon.Shawkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03702605335177150318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4866947503973668447.post-77212298772461552822010-01-22T19:50:49.537-08:002010-01-22T19:50:49.537-08:00What a GREAT report! You hoped that the bull pens ...What a GREAT report! You hoped that the bull pens would improve, but it appears that this first night in Anehiehm, it didn't happen. All the top guys drew dud bulls except Valderion, Travis, and Brian. Ho-hum! Maybe Shannon will tell us something different. Lucky girl! She's there right now and it's all just about to begin!<br /><br />Adriano is right! You are extremely talented and I hope when you're famous I can say, "I knew her when!" <br /><br />I think you're right about the fans picking up on what the TV commentators say. Just b/c Ty or JW say something doesen't mean it's the absolute truth. Especially JW!<br /><br />Anyway, thanks for the great post--almost feel like I was there!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
