๐Ÿ‚ I Finally got some Bull riding video posted from our Christmas Community Party ๐Ÿฎ Life is Good ๐Ÿ˜Ž

๐Ÿ‚ All the big community parties in Panama have Bull riding, usually by very drunk Cowboys drinking Rum right out the bottle. Liquid courage or painkiller I guess. LOL

Most of these guys are professional cowboys and handle these animals daily, but it doesn't mean things don't go a little sideways from time to time. I've seen some pretty outrageous things happen during these events.

I'm not sure what happened with this guy but didn't seem too conscious coming out of the gate.


Could be he got headbutt before the door opened but I never heard.

Here is a far better ride on a nasty bull and I think he got his time in.

This Cowboy didn't fair so well and was whipped off a high speed into the fence

Its a little hard to see in this video but you see all the people coming to action. He must have sustained some injuries as shortly after a hat was passed around the ring to help with expenses.

I might see if I can get a Dtube loaded next.

Merry Christmas

I'm amazed at how many people are willing to lock themselves into a ring with an animal that can destroy their lives in an instant. Makes for some entertainment for the viewers and the riders get an adrenaline rush, but such a risky way to get it.

I could tell you stories that would make your head spin. A few years back they started to use safety gear and amazing enough that's when people started getting hurt? Someone injected the idea of danger, and right on time it appeared. The pens are becoming more secure and the entry gates for the bulls stronger. Less people drunk and brave jumping in to run through the pen when the rider falls off etc....
These parties also used to be free, now it's pay to watch. Money seems to ruin everything in time.
Happy New Year!

I remember watching bull and horse rodeo up here back in the early 80's as a kid and the riders always amazed me. A couple got hurt here and there, but nothing to serious. Just the risk they take each ride is crazy. Haven't been in decades now...but bet my oldest would love it. Might have to take her next summer.

a couple years back in our town they used to bring in pros that rode the biggest bulls no hands! kid you not. and 90+ % of the time went the 8 seconds. they tie there boots together under the bull in a special way that they can release when ready.
That was quite the show.

Wow that looks lively. Did you have a go at the bull riding?

I'm far too old and wise than to try to ride a 1000 pound animal for fun. Just the other day my neighbor was knocked out by a simple head but from a cow by accident. She wasn't mad and frightened like these bulls.

Oh boy Cody! That's enough vicarious excitement for me for today LOL

I am sooo sending reiki to everyone & of course the bulls. Hugs for you & Johana :)

Lots of Love BroStar

Hi Sweetness, hope you're enjoying the season. I didn't drink yesterday and now have a kick-ass head cold.
It's been very nice being at the family home for Christmas. Lots of life here & children of all ages running around. Johana's Mom went to our house for New Years so just us kids at her place for New Years.
I'll do some blogs when my head is not ready to explode. LOL
Love Always

It's a coooold one here Cody, this winter is testing us but we are doing well inspite of it :) So much to be thankful for, and that is where my focus remains <3

It's great to hear from you. Sounds like a lot of fun my friend. Very nice.

Sending some reiki to help clear that up for you more speedily.

Lots of love as always @codypanama :) Bright Blessings upon today, tomorrow & all of 2018.

I wish I could send some Panama heat to you, But I can offer a room to stay anytime you wish. It would be nice to practice a little reiki once again. Panamanians just laugh at it.
Namaste

Aweee You are the best, BroStar. Thank you!

I sincerely mean it @codypanama and I appreciate your kindness more than I can say. I will take you up on that offer, just not sure exactly when yet...but hopefully sometime during 2018 :)

It will be beautyfull to practice Reiki in person with you my friend. I look forward to it <3

Namaste

There must be cheap flights here out of Houston or Miami, unfortunatley I always go to Canada and it's about $1k return.
Get yourself signed up for allerts for the airlines that fly here. Just might blow your mind what shows up from time to time.
Happy New Year Sweetness.

I shall do that my friend :) thank you for the info <3 and your beautyfull self of course! Happy New Year to you & Johana.

Lots of Love!
