Eight seconds of glory, a lifetime of concussions — welcome to rodeo's rawest hour.
Rodeo is a tough way to make a living-that's what this video is all about. These are the best, toughest, most heart stopping moments of the 1993 Season of the world famous Mesquite Championship Rodeo.
Practical Effects
Zero CGI — every bone-crunching fall is gloriously real.
Production
Nineties editing that hits harder than the bulls.
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Don Gay is an eight-time world champion bull rider himself — he's not just narrating, he's judging his own bloodline. The man has been stomped by over 500 bulls and lived to sell you this VHS.
This was peak 'cowboy chic' era — Urban Cowboy had faded but Garth Brooks was king. Mesquite Rodeo specifically marketed itself as 'the world's original indoor rodeo,' a deliberate middle finger to bigger Western shows.
