Bread is actually not healthy. Eating to much can lead to heart disease and diabetes because most bread is highly processed and contains a lot of sugars and additives
JB is my hero. I am a 75 year young grandma recovering from a stroke and I admire his determination to push through the pain putting it out of his mind for 8 seconds which is what I did in physical therapy. He helped me take it and I made it. JB is the GOAT of Cowboys and bull riders
I hope you're well and sending you prayers 🙏 I love seeing grandma's supporting badasses 😂 like the little granny's who loved wrestlers, like the one amazing granny fan who had them visit her home and made it look like a giants in a miniature model. 😂 It's a famous picture from the 90s? I would LOVE to see a cowboy version today, we should all sign a petition for it to happen. ☠️😝🤷♀️🤣
As a former boxer an army vet I can assure you gentlemen there's nothing wrong with protecting your brain I have been through hell and back due to 3 TBI's
As a Marine veteran and current amateur MMA fighter I second this. It’s easy to feel invincible until the first time you really get your brain scrambled, and you realize how terrifying head injuries can be.
Someone needed to say it, glad you did. I hate the romanticization of traumatic head injuries. They act like they’re fighting some honourable battle, and if they lose, it’s a quick death and tough legacy. They don’t imagine the scenario where they survive, and live the rest of their life confined to a bed, completely brain dead, leaving their loved ones to mourn a person that isn’t dead yet. Witnessed it first hand, a couple times unfortunately. Some are lucky and bounce back. Some adapt and overcome. Some injuries just don’t leave enough to rebuild from, as sad as it is. I went to school with a boy who was bright and charming and very popular. He was punched in the back of the head at a party, and has been brain dead ever since. Seems like we all know a story like that, but we’d rather pretend their stories don’t exist, while we whoop and holler for a guy throwing all caution to the wind. Bet they’ll feel real “cowboy” when they’re drooling on themselves while they get strapped in to use the toilet.
TBI are no joke. I got hit in the head with a crain years ago and it messed my brain up good. I'm getting better over a decade later but that injury sent me over the edge for awhile.
If you ever get in a fight and somebody punches you in the temple and the next few days it feels like a train ran your head over, then you know you had one hell of a concussion. (punch in the face day during combatives 2008...)
I’ve been smoke free for about 13 years. I get these occasional weird cigarette dreams, where I’m smoking and feel the head rush and the funniest thing in the world is that it seems so normal, like I’ve been still smoking all this time! Then I wake up and I’m like what the hell! 😮
@grahambrown1980 I haven't had dreams like that, but that sounds wild, lol I've only experienced random cravings in random moments. Honestly, it is like my wires are still there, and sometimes they get jolted from time to time, lol
@@grahambrown1980sounds exactly like what my mom says, she hasn’t smoked in probably 25 years and she still says that she’ll have a dream from time to time about that first drag
@@grahambrown1980I've had that with drugs, the whole dream is trying to score and as you're about to have a hit you wake up! I guess a dream can't fulfill realistic drug effects so it ends. 🤷🏻♂️ Frustrating tho cos then you are thinking about it. 😾
Watching him ride bushwhacker (previously unridable) in Tulsa with my mom and brother before my brother passed away will always be one of my favorite memories. My brother was a bull rider himself
I am with you for 99% of that but let me just say that there’s some tough SOBs still around. I coach and travel quite a bit around the USA and let me say we are not going soft, these young boys and girls are tough!
Yeah but telling people not to do it is pretty crazy. Probably last of a dying breed cause you got people like the guy in the video telling kids not to do things
It’s crazy to see JB and Ky as old rugged ass vets… I remember when they were the hungry young pups nippin on the heels of wiley old vets like Galairmai and others… but those memories just make me realize how fucking old I’m getting..
I met Dale at a local tack store the other day! Truly a dream come true! Thank you so much for being so friendly even as you were not there to take pictures.
Can read right between the lines brotha So I gotta start smoking marlbs & start riding bulls without a helmet. That’s the secret trick to becoming a bull riding god*
One thing I've learned, anything will kill you, pick something fun. Living in fear of getting hurt just brings the sheltered mentality. The sheltered mentality brings fear of getting hurt. Then, living in fear brings no fun in life and living life to 10% of the fun and cool things you could've done.
I wanna say something about the word cowboy because I am a tenth generation cattle rancher in the same spot in Oregon 200 years! I can’t though JB is one of us even if he rides bulls much respect for the man truly is a master of his craft.
Where at, I lived and worked for RL Coats Ranch. It was about smack dab in the middle of Oregon. Lived in Hampton. Very large ranch, butted right up next to the ZX ranch to the east and ran about 20 miles, almost to Brothers, close to 300,000 acres with leased BLM land. Old RL also used to own Deschutes Redi Mix, before he passed during a heart surgery. Family had huge fight over his estate. The Old Lady Joyce (wife) wanted it all, kids were like the hell you do. Now from what I've heard it's kinda broken down and his whole estate, except a few places, are now owned by several other folks.
I doubt I could have ever been cut out to ride bulls, but I prefer to usually just have respect for those that do, because there’s always a reason why they do it. At almost 44 now, I just wouldn’t see any point in different types of men talking smack about each other, based on lifestyle differences and preferences for having a good time, as well as choices of work to make a living. I find it best not to judge and assume to know, more doors are open that way. However, we ALL joke around at times and I’d definitely want to come clean in the end and not try to make enemies. Don’t mind me, I’m just some Canadian guy who’s more of a “pretty boy”, fascinated with American history, definitely pro-gun, is INFJ and in the autism spectrum. 🐂
In my P.R.C.A. days (circa 1980s), we never would have considered wearing a helmet. The only time we would have found it suitable is if you'd had your grape smashed out of shape previously. No protective vests either, maybe a leather one just to look fancy on occasion but never padded or the like. Hell, after a few years on the road I did start wearing a mouth piece to protect my grinners. But I was a minority at the time in doing so.
I rode bulls in jr,high-school and a little bit of college plus some other venues as well and we had never even heard of flack vests and helmets. That being said, I couldn't imagine getting on these absolute hide missiles that they have today without said safety gear. We had Red Rock, Oscar and the likes that were some real rank bulls but not like today.
@@ohanailo6681we used to kill wolves with our bare hands. We used to spear sabertooth tigers point blank range. Our main food item was a giant hairy elephant.
@@RejectOneWorldGov WE didn't do shit my guy, that type of shit was a long time ago and technically you can still do shit like that so idk what ur bitching about😂 go do it
My dad's friend had a 389 with the three sisters and a full racing cam in 1968 goat Candy apple blue dam that car was beautiful and wicked when all three sisters killed in but you were back in your seat hanging on nick i love what you do and you make a living at it i am so glad you get to live your dream and make a living it just doesn't get any better
I think it comes down to the perception of safety. When you wear the helmet you feel “safer” but it puts you in a weird zone where you’re almost complicit. If you don’t wear a helmet you’re more aware of the dangers and the reflexes seem sharper.
I’m from Texas and when we were kids (like 16 17 years old) we would go to this old guys land who one of my buddies knew and we’d hunt birds and ride dirt bikes and stuff. Anyway, there was this bull that lived there and he was pretty chill but one time I was on that dirt bike and I went around this hay rack and that sucker was standing there and I didn’t see him. I went around that corner pretty slow and that dude hit the front wheel with his head and I went flying. I had a helmet on and still had a headache for a week. I couldn’t imagine riding a pissed off bull without a helmet, so respect to those guys.
Watched when I was a kid like 30 years ago so I’m way out of date but from my perspective when that gate opens the chance of you dying are higher then you not dying. I’d take one last drag too. These guys are on other level.
I feel like anytime theirs a guy the is simply a level above the rest through sheer hardass dedication to master his skillset... There's a Marlboro somewhere to be found in the story.
I used to ride and school my horse in the way that was cool; with my long hair in a ponytail with a well-worn and curved beak on my favourite ballcap and my matching gloves, full chaps when they were stylish, and then in skinny jeans with leather field boots and eventually the same jeans and half chaps….whatever was the style at the time! I managed to squeak in before the rule changes at sanctioned shows made all juniors wear certified helmets. Before I turned 18, my favourite helmet that I wore to shows or when I “decided” to wear a “real” helmet, was an uncertified hunt cap with the clear plastic harness that did nothing to protect me, but was oh so stylish at the time. Less than a year after I finished showing my last junior year, all juniors had to wear certified helmets in the hunter/hack/equitation and jumper ring and now adults have to as well. I started riding at the age of 8…I turned 8 in early April of 1991, and when I took lessons, before I owned my own ugly Troxel helmet (the first generation that looked like a bike helmet, the first real vented helmets), I wore one of the lesson barn’s old ratty “helmets” which were hunt caps with a simple elastic under the chin, not protecting anything. The only time I worried about my head as a junior and young adult was when I was breaking horses or riding something newly broken or spicy or was jumping a horse that wasn’t my own or in front of juniors, and I borrowed a vest for cross country. These days I own a simple vest I wear cross country and my husband wears it when he hacks alone and when he’s jumping (he’s just learning) and I wouldn’t dream of getting on any horse without a certified helmet that is less than 2-3 years old. When I fall off and hit my head (luckily - knock on wood - that doesn’t happen often at all) I cut the harness off the helmet and use it as decoration in my house or I ditch it. Why? Even though I have owned my current horse almost 11 years and know her inside and out (I can look at her standing in her stable when I arrive and know exactly what I’m in for that day, she rarely if ever surprises me anymore) and she’s _devastated_ when I fall off, I was lucky enough to work for the national equestrian federation in the country I was born in for some years. The office next to me was in charge of the coaching certification for the country and liaised with the provincial equestrian federations on their rider programs. I was manager of the competitions department and received all of the stewards’ reports from nationally (and internationally, as a lot of national competitions run FEI classes at their shows) ranked shows and reports from provinces when there were incidents. I got to see all of the incident reports for people falling off, horse deaths and rider deaths, which thankfully weren’t a super regular thing. The amount of people ending up paralysed or dead who were not wearing helmets or protective vests vs those who were wearing them were enough to show me we only get one head, and it’s not cool to ride without a helmet. Horses aren’t static things like bicycles. They’re living animals that spook, have bad days and generally can be unpredictable. I was unlucky enough to witness a fall that fractured a rider’s skull and remember the paramedic saying that she would have survived had she worn a helmet. The doctor’s and coroner’s report (after she lingered in a coma for 5 days and then dying after being declared brain dead, having had part of her skull removed due to the brain swelling by this point) noted the same thing. Those things are sobering. What happened? Someone else was in the warm up ring and the rider was schooling before a show with a ballcap on, and the jump next to the one she was aiming for, the person on the ground grabbed a cooler (a horse blanket/rug) and draped it over the vertical next to the jump our rider was cantering to. The horse spooked and then slammed on the brakes and our rider flew over his head and landed head first onto the jump pole, which was very heavy, and very sodden (due to rain the two days before) and solid wood. Ever since that day I have never mounted a horse for any reason without a helmet. It isn’t cool to go without one, it isn’t stylish and it doesn’t indicate that you know your horse and can prevent injury. This lady had bred and broken the horse she was riding and owned him for 9 years. Sadder still was that she was a coach who was in a few of my mandatory classes when we went through coaching certification together. It’s just not worth the risk. The best example that top notch riders, coaches, peers and those that kids look up to can do is to wear helmets and advocate for them. My heroes schooled in ball caps and only wore helmets when forced to, and it had an impact on me. Kids watch and idolise their riding heroes and they should be cognisant and aware of that fact and use that opportunity to encourage safety and hard work and demonstrate congeniality and good sportsmanship for all.
You said "The amount of people ending up paralysed or dead who were not wearing helmets or protective vests vs those who were wearing them..." I am not in general AGAINST helmets, but seldom do helmets actually protect against paralysis, as that is usually from a neck injury, and those injuries can actually be made worse by the weight of the helmet. Show jumping (or just jumping) is truly one of the most dangerous of equestrian sports, b/c of the position the rider needs to be in before 'take off'... Ahead of the horse's withers, and committed to the jump. When there is a refusal, the rider is in a very bad position to recover. I think in general, there are many other equestrian sports that are much safer... and far less of a risk of SEVERE injury/paralysis... b/c in most cases, a helmet is NOT going to save you when you are competing in show jumping. Just ask Christopher Reeves.
That can stimulate the child to smoke. Also ages and wears out daddy before his time. Played a role in killing my dad, along with alcohol and poor eating. At least he was 70, back in 2017.
@user-pn8tt5yg8q naw honestly can't say I remember that far back. I quit riding just before lane got killed and went into the Marines that was a long time ago. ⌛️ memory ain't what it should be
Man in my eyes this is a breed we can't let die. Maybe I feel that way cuz I relate but this kind of man can influence, lead, guide,entertain and much more like very few other men.
Same here. I rode bulls for raw courage rodeo circuit in my youth , no vest, no helmet, had a bull try to climb out the chute on me in Texas and fell atop of me, thrashed around on me while I was in the bottom of the chute, been stomped, fell in the well once out at Burt's arena Sims Texas, landed on my head many times, and I'm paying for it all. Plus I got into competitive fighting, survived several major auto accidents when I was a passenger, served in the Airborne -Airassault Infantry, survived gladiator school and have had four surgeries to repair injuries. Need more but can't afford it. I'm busted up but got nothing to show for it all. And no one believes the stories so don't even have that. It was all vanity of vanities and probably wasn't worth the damage. Living it was great when I was young but paying the price now feels like I took the wrong path. Those I.T. tech nerds are living their best life at 50 while we're all busted up in constant pain with disabilities. The Glory was short lived and now it's gone.
The late great Harry Tompkins was one of the first rock stars of rodeo. He even auditioned to be the first Marlboro Man. He didn't smoke, drank very little if any when he got older, and never rode hurt. When he got a hernia he quit riding. The picture of him riding a bull with his hand held in a flippant manner and a smirk on his face was his Marlboro audition. He didn't get the part because he was too small.
Ricky Hubbard here, I road bulls for years without a helmet,that's cowboy,now day's that's up too the individual butt it don't look wright and I don't do a lot of things butt does that really count. Don Gay and the old timers had them balls. Most I've seen was the body hits not the head not all the time most of the time it's the body. I say suck it up. Cowboy don't cry. "SEMPER FI"DEVILDAWG 🇺🇲 🇺🇲 🇺🇲 🙏
Well I am a true Texas cowboy who have lived & worked on a real Texas ranch when I was a bit younger than JB and I can honestly tell you that me & my friends did ride bulls with no helmet and we did do a lot of country boy hell raising on Friday and Saturday nights at just about all of the local honky tonk bars in just about every little country town that we could think of!!!! And we never wore any of these fancy safety gears that all of these drugstore cowboy kids are wearing nowadays , and also we never drove no $100k pickup truck either just an old beat up Chevy and an old Toyota that my dad gave to me!!!!
@@larrywarren1049 He hit it hard. He was rewarded with the benefits of a champion and fell as one. I knew him a little bit back when I was a permit holder. He was a humble man, very likable. Everything he had he earned.
In the 80's it was optional, in the 90's it was mandatory, then the visor became mandatory same with the goalie's neck protector. I'm all for not dying or getting hurt playing a sport lol.
@@MultiTravellingmanNah it was optional in the 90s. I was born in 86 & I remember the first time someone wore one & even the announcers didn’t like it. Hockey players don’t wear masks so let the Men play the way they want to. This isn’t frisbee golf!🤣
Lmao I know a guy that rode bulls for years didn’t wear a helmet. He said it only got in the way of him seeing properly and didn’t think it would make a difference if something happened 🤷♂️ he done riding for now, lost some teeth, but brains all still there! (I think)
It also depends on the type of a cowboy hat you ware though. However yes.. they have two different personalities. Once more humble and just getting into the game and the other one is just to show off.
Why be the last of a dying breed? Hell we need more bad ass men/Cowboy's. This world is hungry for strong male figures . Look we weren't ment to live to 80 so by the time a man's 50 his best is behind him so live it up and be a man.
As a 54 yo mans man I approve this message. My body is so broke up and I hurt every where and I’ve had all the surgeries to try to “fix it” and bydamn I enjoyed my life. I’m no where near ready to go though but if I hadve I really don’t think it would have been so bad. I sure as hell don’t ever want to be a Biden
I've said my whole life...protection is for the people that shouldn't be there but for me well sht if it goes wrong once you better know it went right a million times before and I was smiling
That's a nice fantasy that when it goes bad you just die and it's glorious. How much glory is there in spending 30 years in a care home, constantly confused why these strangers keep visiting you, crying and calling you dad? Eh, I'm sure you'll ignore it and make some reply that makes you seem like a tough guy.
Ha ha ha…, our Uncle Jack Watson was once known as the World’s tallest Bullrider. He never wore a helmet. My oldest Brother Dale never wore a Helmet Bullriding. Our Daddy never wore a helmet Bullriding. And with all the Bulls I rode…, I never wore a nothin’ but a Stetson or Resistol Cowboy Hat. I went to a Rodeo to ride Bulls not play Hockey. Me and the other Men I rode with would just put a picture of our Wife or Girlfriend inside the Hatband of our hats. (For good Luck) Have a little talk with Jesus…, Then get to work. So I guess I’ll never be out at your place riding Bulls with Y’all. However I don’t Smoke though. My Vice is Copenhagen. (Been dippin’ Snuff since I was 16.) A Lady Dentist once remarked how healthy my Teeth & Gums are. (Still got most of my Teeth) I came back with…, it must be all that Copenhagen I been dippin’. Y’all probably know how that went over. (Grin)
There is always some ass hole out there who wants to control whatever someone else is doing. If a person wants to smoke then let them smoke. ....so long as they aren't smoking indoors or in your air space....if you dont like smoking then stay out of his air space and mind your own business.
@@thesecondcomingofbred6771 that's his choice....he deserves to have that choice....as should everyone. My grandfather smoked for 71 years...he never caught lung cancer. Died of a heart attack at age 84.
