Saturday night’s performance of the PBR gave all the bang for the buck! This year’s performance packed a little something extra for  Wise County fans, as JW Hart gave his farewell retirement ride, and the addition of the up-and-coming young bull riders.

Now the cool thing for a photographer shooting this  event, is the fact that you get to shoot from the middle of the arena in the “shark cage”, (you know that thing that the  bullfighters use to get away from the Bulls). It’s great right up until the time that one of these  pick up sized  chunk of an animal  Decides he wants to come in also. I could’ve used a fresh change of underwear about halfway through, as one of these big boys was chasing the little guy with  paint on his face, and  dragging a 30 foot rope as his tail. Now if seeing this big fellow traveling at what looked like light speed at the time, and about 18 inches  away wasn’t enough, you can imagine the thrill when this 30 foot rope flung itself through the cage slapping skin and camera gear.
