Hi Doug,
Yep I knew about the synching belt! ;-)

And yes the description both from the rodeo and the football sidelines are 
truely and hurting real life experince.:-)

The worse of course is the horse, particularly when you think you moved away 
and the animal changed it's body language direction and is now about to 
knock you on your ass big time. :-(

It wouldn't be so bad if it were only yourself, but your immediate after 
thoughts are.... "Oh my gosh how are my cameras?"  Your body is second as 
you are being helped to your quivering quaking legs and everyone in the 
stands are killing themselves laughing at what you figured, your last living 
moments on earth! :-)  Best to think.... "never say die!" ;-) But damn, it 
sure hurt! :-)
