When I was a kid, he was the guy in the Stampede music video. But now that I've got to know about him and more of his music, he's a legend. I don't think I've ever seen someone with so many personal anecdotes from someone who knew them on the internet as much as I see of Chris. Glad you got to know him.
Hey Conner tell the ledoux family hope to see them at rodeo some time I’m a young bull rider myself Chris ledouxs songs help me get pumped up for every ride I’m sure Chris is smiling up stairs
I saw Chris Ledoux In concert, it was either 95 or 96 Holly Dunn came on before him it was a great concert. The man was super human. He did so much in so little time. I believe it is all any man or a woman could ask for in life………… God bless, Chris Ledoux………
My dad did two tours in nam Chris ledoux was his fav My dad wasnt much to me but he still was a Vietnam veteran Which to this dad I'm still proud of He burnt all our baby pictures to get back at my mom if she didn't come back he was nothing But I'm number 600
Back when Cowboys were real cowboys and didn’t ride with helmets, face masks etc. most didn’t even wear vests either. I remember those days. The Charles Sampson, Jim Sharp, Tuff Hedeman, Cody Lambert, Cody Custer, Ty Murray, Ted Nuce, Jerome Davis, Troy Dunn, Bubba Dunn, J.W. Hart & Don Gay days of Cowboy’n! They are the true Legends of the sport. Of course we can never forget the one and only Lane Frost!
Just because you ride with a helmet doesn’t make you not a cowboy, I guess you ain’t seen a bull bucked enough to see the bulls are getting bread to buck better than they did a year ago.
You realize vests and helmets only do so much right? People are still killed and hurt wearing them. Get your ass on a bull, then see where you stand after.
im a bull rider and every time i have won a championship or got higher than eighty eight points i listened to this first love Chris ledoux i miss him so much
This and Cadillac Cowboy.. Hold tight with a leather fist... watch out when he starts to twist.. it's what their daddy's used to tell them boys how to ride them bulls. I feel a chris ledoux binge coming on!! Beer, LeDoux and Rodeo. Its going to be a good night! .its going to be a good night!
I was just a kid but I grew up north of Monroe about 45 minutes on ol highway 9.. I remember my cousin and his friend went to see em there. They were so excited. I remember copying the tapes they got on my old boom box for em
Haven't been to rodeo in years. Bull riding was always my favorite event to watch. No offense to pro riders, but I've always enjoyed non-pro competitions...little league, Jr high to college football, & local rodeos back when I knew some of the riders. Brent, you did GREAT job putting the rides to the song!! Amazing even! Thanks for reminding me of good times!!
I did have the opportunity to see him when he came to Fort Worth and had a concert at Billy Bob’s. His band was every bit as good as George Straits band. When they broke out doing the William Tell Overture I was completely blown away! Awesome night!
Here I am 30 years later after hearing Chris’s name first mentioned in a Garth song, finally listening to his incredible music. Man this stuff is fun to hear. Rock and roll sensibilities with country/ cowboy themes and a dash of Western Americana Mythos.
Randomly came across this video looking for something else...the rabbit hole that is youtube. I gotta love my bull riders/bull fighters. My "nephew" is a young bull rider and my heart stops everytime I see him. Tip ya'lls hats to these guys. Tougher then nails. I used to do barrels when I was a kid and I loved the feeling of going break neck speeds on my horses. #rodeosforever #cowgirlstuckinthecity #wideopenspaces
I've met a lot of guys who thought they were tough. I always told 'em "if you've never strapped yourself to 2000 lbs of pissed off, you still got a ways to 'tough'"
I've never rode a bull, but I've dealt with a few mean ones, and let me tell you, it isn't a cakewalk dealing with a 2000 pound animal that's throwing a temper tantrum.
I could only imagine. People don't really get how crazy that is. I always tell people think about how hard it is to control your 60 pound dog and then imagine trying to control a 2000 pound bull. It's like trying to control a car.
I rode my first bull TWISTER. In my high school rodeo in Odessa TX 1984. 7.3 seconds. I rode bulls for six years Unprofessional. Rodeo. There's no other high. Or low Than that 8 second ride. I'm 52 now. And would ride Again if and when I get the chance. God bless Chris ledoux!!!
Who cares about who the riders or bulls were ? I'm here to listen to one of country's great singers. We need more Chris LeDoux and less Florida Georgia line crap !
Just to clarify Chris LeDoux rode bare back horses he rode bulls a little bit in collage until he dropped out and went pro. You might be thinking of Lane Frost.
darin kohl . Yeah . Bull , maybe not . But a championship rider nonetheless. And a true cowboy and great country artist. Not like today's fake cowboys. He was the real deal .
He died before I was born but once I found out he was a bull rider after I heard the music he just stuck with me I wish you were still here today brother
Eight seconds ride is my favorite Chris LeDoux song. A friend of mine used to ride bulls until his career ending injuries. He says this song tells it like it is. RIP Chris LeDoux
They just showing the 8 second rides kacee wyoming had 2 second rides....love me some chris from Montana met him many times...from livingston...him an my dad were good friends...we were lucky to have people like chris an my father on this earth!!!
Part of the reason his rodeo songs are this great is that he actually came from this sport. Chris Ledoux was the 1976 World Bareback Bronco Riding champion on the rodeo circuit. It's actually where he originally wrote many songs like this.
I used to live in K.C Wyoming right near where he used to live. My parents seen him ride once. Too bad he died before I was born. Sounds like he was cool.
when i was riding bulls this was my song they played it every rodeo when i was on and still is to this day my number one song for everything i still love thius song till the day im put six feet under
