Riding High at the George Paul

Uploaded: February 24, 2011

Description

This is Jake Littlefield captured as he came out the chute at the 2010 GPM Bull Ride. He took a 90.5 ride on this bull. I have been in the middle of the arena since 2006 shooting the action and this year was granted a Go Anywhere Photo Pass by the Champion Bull Riders (CBR) for all their events. I will be shooting the GPM again in May, have a month long showcase exhibition of bull riding photography and be in the arena at the Cheyenne Frontier Days in July so I am riding high as well. EGA

First I would like to thank Stan K. for his encouragement to me a long time ago to get into the arena despite my fears. Yes I have been hooked by these bulls and stomped on and bit by broncos but at 70 1/2 I am still at it and riding high so I placed this in the Loving Life category as it just does not get any better than this for me or Jake Littlefield or the CBR. #1355996
