Years ago, late at night I ran into J. B. at a convenience store after he had competed at an event at the Molalla Buckaroo in Oregon. He was all banged up, sweating and in obvious pain, and there he was at the counter, paying for a big-ass bottle of aspirin! I said to him, "You all right there, buddy?" to which he replied "Livin' the dream." That memory has always stuck with me.

"I was the kid with the try when the other guys had the talent." That statement hit me hard. That’s the statement of my life! Thank you JB sir. Semper Fi !!

I can honestly say in my entire life I never saw anyone balance on a basketball like that. With cowboy boots no less.

I met him once in a local diner. I had just found out who he was just before I was introduced to him. Obviously I am nobody...but he was so humble...I have nothing but respect for MEN like this!

20 years ago my friend Nels Bloom jr passed away from a broken neck after getting bucked off a bull. He was a real cowboy, a father and husband. JB reminds me very much of him. The last of a dying breed.

He already looks like the actor that would play him in a movie
@Gantzephon
It must be hard for the bull, having gigantic balls of steel on his back.

I was a P.R.C.A. bull rider in the 80s. I'm now 58, I hurt everyday. I was not on the level this young man is, but for a couple of years I was going and blowing pretty hard. Back then pain was like rain, you just dealt with it. I never have liked those pain pills; dulled your senses to much made you sluggish and slow. The pain let me know I was alive. I wore a mouth guard to protect my grinners, that was it. No protective vests, dang sure no helmets back then; we were hands, we never would consider such a thing. I'm still tougher than woodpecker lips, but I'm a whole lot slower. I was 29 when I got on my last bull, it was hard to walk away from. Bull riding isn't something you do its what you are, it's who you are. After my 2nd shoulder surgery looking at a 3rd not twisting to many toros at that point, I called it. I miss the lifestyle every day.

J.B. you're one of a kind sir, thanks for entertaining us all along. One of the few true cowboys remaining.

"I know when I get old I'll be as crippled as hell. But I'm willing to sacrifice that to be number one". I've had two discs replaced in my back. Surgeries to both knees. Broken ankle with two steel plates and sixteen screws holding it all together. Ribs cracked and broken numerous times. Been layed out unconscious with my face straight down in the shit and dirt. Fingers dislocated or broke to many times to count. All when we did it for a silver buckle and change. I'm sixty years old now and can't even sit in the saddle on my horse. But I know why you do it so I respect that. Being number one sometimes costs to much. I never got there but most of us don't. But we ride anyway. " Let er buck ".
@godsm3dic577
I never question the first person who thought it would be a good idea to get on a bull and ride it. I always questioned the 2nd person who decided to do it next lol

I was raised in a rodeo family. . . My dad was a cowboy through & through. . .all around. . .bulls, bareback, saddlebronc, doggin, & roping; but that was back in the 50's when cowboys were all arounds. He was the best horseman I ever knew. He could break a horse like no other & only had thoroughbreds. He was an old school cowboy. . .they broke the mold when he was born. He didn't even have ahigh school education, but built 6 nice homes. He was a logger & a cattleman. But most of all the best cowboy I ever knew. He never rode a saddle in his later years, only bareback. Used a stock whip or bull whip to gather his longhorns & never wore spurs (he said spurs were only made for bucking stock). He taught us to use a quirt. . .not spurs. . . He was a great man. . .my dad. . .Billy Schall
