Zander walked reluctantly up to the office door. He hesitated a moment, then knocked gently. The door swung open, and he was dismayed to see that his rodeo trainer was watching the game film from last night.<\/p>\n
“You wanted to see me, coach?”<\/p>\n
“Yes, Zander,” the grizzled old cowboy replied, “have a seat, son. I wanted to talk to you about your ride last night.”<\/p>\n
Zander shook his head in disgust. “I know, I didn’t stay on very long.”<\/p>\n
“Are you kidding? I was going to congratulate you! Do you know who that was you rode for almost two seconds?”<\/p>\n
“No, they didn’t tell me.”<\/p>\n
“It’s a good thing they didn’t, or you might not have gotten on him at all. Only two other riders have even made it out of the gate, and neither of them lasted more than half a second on that monster! That was Crazy Fluffy you were riding!”<\/p>\n
“Crazy Fluffy? Are you sure?” asked Zander in amazement.<\/p>\n
“That’s right. The Devil’s Q-Tip himself. You set the record, son, and it’s going to last forever. They’re retiring that walking death-trap immediately. Something they should have done long ago. It’s a wonder no one’s been hurt. Now sit down and watch this ride, son.”<\/p>\n
Zander watched with new-found pride as the film looped over and over.<\/p>\n
“Do you see right there, at the point seven second mark?” the coach said, “That little bushwacker is trying to bite off your right leg, so you leaned over and rode him sideways for the next eight tenths of a second. I haven’t seen riding like that since Yakima Canutt perfected that trick in ‘Riders of the Dawn’ in 1937.”<\/p>\n
