Hi Brad,
Very interesting and a couple to be included in a photo essay on bull riding 
cowboys (also FOM2) if you were inclined to do so. Actually spending time in 
this situation with a number of riders doing their imaginary riding would 
make an interesting series for a newspaper weekend multi-photo spread.

I've shot a fair number of Calgary Stampede rodeos over the years, also a 
book about cowboys, "Men of the Saddle." But I never saw anything like this 
or it certainly would've been in the book.

Just from the look of these two photos I think if you were to spend time 
shooting as many of them doing their routine, it would make an interesting 
story for a cowboy or western oriented magazine also.

A kind of behind the scenes thing.
