It’s not everyday that you dress up as a cowboy and ride your dirt bike in front of 15,000 people and on live television, but that’s what happens when you do a jump show at the world finals of bull riding last weekend in Las Vegas.
Kenny Bartrum,
Beau Bamberg and
Wiley all joined
Hagy as he pretended to be one of the final four finalists in the event and jump for 30 seconds. I know one jump sounds like nothing, but when it’s in the dark and you’re jumping over fireballs and have to land in a tunnel that is only 6 1/2 feet wide it makes things a bit scary.
The event went well and for Hagy it was only the 1 jump, but he was glad when that 30 seconds were up. Afterwards he had a drink and sat back and watched these 150-pound cowboys ride these 800-pound animals. Hagy said he had to take off his hat to them, because what they do makes his sport look safe.
