Submit your rodeo pictures here and have them posted the next day!

This page is dedicated to my teammates, the fans and the rodeo that we all love so. Nobody understands why we do it? Who could, unless they to have done it? When it seems like your best days are through and there is no reason to go on... the rodeo gives us something to live for, it gives us a purpose. All week long we make tacos or deliver pizzas or change oil in somebody's car like everybody else. Then on the weekend that neverending routine goes away. As dangerous as we all know that it is, what good is life if you just piddle it away making tacos anyway? What good is it to live forever, regretting all the things that you never were?!

LIVE FAST... DIE YOUNG... BULL-RID-ER.... (Johnny Cash)


Our gracious and heavenly Father, we pause in the midst of this festive occasion, mindful and thoughtful of the guidance that you have given us.
As cowboys, Lord, we don't ask for any special favors, we ask only that you let us compete in this arena, as in lifes arena. We don't ask to never break a barrier, or to draw a round of steer that's hard to throw, or a chute fighting horse, or a bull that is impossible to ride. We only ask that you help us to compete as honest as the horses we ride and in a manner as clean and pure as the wind that blows across this great land of ours.

So when we do make that last ride that is inevitable for us all to make, to that place up there, where the grass is green and lush and stirrup high, and the water runs cool, clear, and deep -

You'll tell us as we ride in that our entry fees have been paid.

These things we ask - Amen.

Yes, this page has moved. I'm sure everyone is wondering why... Because the old address just wasn't getting any traffic because the name was too hard to figure out. Tripod is case sensitive and "FlashfiresHome" just got to be annoying after a while. I figure "prorodeo" should be easy enough to bring in all kinds of traffic.
