Championship Bull Riding Event at the Coliseum [PHOTOS]

I decided to check out the Championship Bull Riding - Tuff Hedeman West Texas Showdown at the County Coliseum last night.  I was lucky enough to get access the the chute area where the bulls and riders are released.  Things got a bit awkward though when someone tried to herd me between the rails and started to tie a rope around my waist.  Check out some of the pictures from the event.  Pretty interesting stuff.
