8 Seconds At A Time Forum « Result #2 on Dec 2, 2009, 4:14pm »
I've decided to combine my blog with a forum of my own. This one hasn't gotten the attention it needs to continue to improve, so I decided to start one up. I'll just post my articles there at the forum.
So feel free to stop by if you have a free minute or two.

Re: 2010 Season!! « Result #4 on Dec 1, 2009, 9:53pm »
For the first time ever, I might actually have a bull competing in some of the Classic events in 2010. He will be a 3-year old, and he is really big for that age. So hopefully he will get a few outs later next season, and that will definitely take me to more BFTS and Challenger events. My wife and I will take our 2-year old to his first BFTS event in OKC in February, and we will definitely go to Tulsa as well. And we have plans to go to the Finals for the first time!
Along with those events, I may end up going to 1 or 2 more BFTS events with Cody Hebert. And I'll definitely go to a few more Challengers with him as well.
I've never looked forward to a season as much as I am the 2010 one.

I never said anything about Ednei or Adriano, those were freak accidents. You can try to convince me that Marchi isn't weak hearted all you want but the proof it in these two years. He rode every bull but the one he didnt get did not get to pick the year he won the world title, but the year he didnt get to pick every bull look whats happens, ill say it again STEP UP AND BE A COWBOY AND TEST YOURSELF EVERY ONE IN A WHILE and you cannot deny that bulls have off days with Marchi and Valdiron. Those are the only two I'm talkin about, I'm ok with Renato and Robson.
And why would I defend PETA or SHARK, I ride bulls for a living I know what goes on at those events first hand. If you have ever taken a close look at those Brazillian ropes that come from Brazil you'll notice a huge difference in the block, it pinches the hell out of the bulls backs and they don't soak them in the chutes as much anymore; they do it in the alley way. We go into Brazil and have to change rowels for the bull's sake so it should be the exact same way over here. If you ride in America then your rope should be made here as well.
oh and I said it when he won the world title that Adriano did not deserve to win his third world title and I will continue to say so, looking at the ground is unacceptable, point blank.

Re: 2009 NFR bull roster is up! « Result #8 on Nov 23, 2009, 4:08pm »
I'm definitely looking forward to seeing the bull Little Lightning. He has been marked 49 this year, and I missed both of his trips when he bucked in Lawton in August. I want to see if he is legit because I've heard he wasn't nearly as good as his scores would indicate.
Like you, I'm looking forward to another fun NFR. My little 2-year old is going to love all the bucking this year!

I can see both sides of the story, and I agree with points from both sides. I do feel some of the Brazilians still soak bulls too long, and the bull scores are lower because of this. I've talked to quite a few stock contractors, and the feelings are pretty much the same across the board. That being said, I think Marchi has improved quite a bit in recent years when it comes to soaking. He is much quicker out of the chutes. Valdiron and Renato Nunes still have issues, however.
As for Marchi being weak-hearted, that's pretty debatable. You won't ever win a World Championship in the PBR with that attitude. And he has been absolutely dominant since coming to the PBR. He will go down as one of the greatest bull riders of all time, and he will be in the running for this year's World Title as well.
So I agree with some of your post rodeocowboy, but I also disagree with some as well.
