Dave,
I was expecting some video of you riding a bucking bronc. Are you saying that you just went to the party?
I can play that game. Bonnaroo. If you have to ask, then you don't know.

Ouch. Some of the fellows in this video are not very young.
One of the dumb things I did was go over the handle bars on my 1972 TM250 Suzuki at about 40 mph and ground myself into the hard pan gravel. I sold that bike shortly thereafter and did not return to dirt bike riding until many years later and then it was only trail riding at a relaxed pace.

IMHO, anybody that gets on a bull the second time, well their elevator doesn't go to the top floor.
After the first time, you should pretty well know what's gonna happen.
Something about doing the same thing over and ober again and expecting different results.

No longer frightened by corners!
Interesting video, thanks for that.
Looks like there was a good turnout for the Junior Bustanut event.

Thanks for posting that, Dave. While it doesn't make me want to ride one, it does make me wistfully remember being young enough to take those kinds of hits. And the party looks like a blast!

After I finished the full high performance rebuild of my 72 Suzuki T500 some 35 years ago, a buddy wanted to race me. I had shaved the heads, installed Wiseco pistons, ported and polished the cylinders, and installed oversize Mikuni's and expansion chambers. We chose a long cement driveway that led out to a dead end street: perfect place to measure off our quarter mile (in our immature, foolish opinion). It was just getting dark, and just after we started the race, my headlight caught something as the front wheel was coming up.
"WHAT was that," I thought. Then I remembered. There was a chain strung across the end of the driveway on one side. Unfortunately, it was on my side. My buddy went rocketing out of the driveway and onto the dead end street. I clamped on the brakes, slammed the front wheel down, and held on for dear life as my Suzuki came to a stop with a loud "thunk" as the front forks hit the chain. Except for a couple bruises (including my ego), both bike and rider were fine.
Can you spell, D-U-M-B ??

Oh yeah, we ran the race again later on, and my little twin beat his brand new 4 cylinder GS550 pretty soundly. Nothing like racin' what cha built with yer own two hands. Just wish I'd have had enough sense to do so at a drag strip.
