– The bull riders aren’t the only stars of the show during the San Antonio Stock Show and Rodeo’s last performance. The crowd went wild for an eight-second ride, but the applause was also for the cowboys protecting the rider.
“We’ve got a good team here to fight bulls, and we’ve got Justin Rumford in the barrel,” Webster said. “ as entertaining in the locker room as he is out in the arena.” “I kind of grew up riding a bicycle on a skateboard, thought I was the next Tony Hawk,” Swisher said. “Then about 14, 15 years old, I was like, I’m going to be a cowboy like my dad.”“ actually bought me all the gear to ride bulls, and when it came down to it, I was way too scared to ever get on one. So I thought maybe it wouldn’t be as scary getting in front of them.”“Here I am now, 16 years later,” Swisher said. “We love what we do. It’s such an awesome job.
“Teamwork is definitely where, you know, the difference is made, because no matter how good a bullfighter is, if he’s on his own and that bull gets zoned in, four legs outrun two legs all day,” Webster said. “It’s something that is extremely important.”“It’s just knowing cattle, being able to see how the bull is moving,” Swisher said. “You really can’t tell what the bulls are going to do, but you kind of have somewhat of a game plan to try and beat him to his next step.
“Growing up in the business and starting at such a young age, that was kind of my biggest goal,” Webster said. “I wanted to be able to get someone to give me the opportunity to put their company or their logo on me, and then be able to travel the country. If we don’t work, we don’t get paid.”“We have to pay our way here. We have to pay our animals’ bills and everything that goes into the sport,” Webster said. “That endorsement money is a big deal for us.
