Reminiscing on Grit and Glory

And that, folks, is the thrill of bull riding. 

Episode #9:

Reminiscing on Grit and Glory with Tom Hirsig, Dr. Skip Ross and Dennis Humphrey

Not so long ago, the gentlemen you’ll meet today were your average trio of Wyoming-grown buddies, catching up and crossing paths in various rodeo circles.

Today, one is the CEO of Cheyenne Frontier Days (Tom Hirsig); another’s been the Cheyenne Frontier Days arena medic for going on 38 years (Dr. Skip Ross); and the third is a former National Finals Rodeo (NFR) bull rider (Dennis Humphrey).

Through it all, they’ve held strong to their friendship, including their shared ties to rodeo.

Today, you’ll get to listen in as they recount some of their favorite stories. Find out: 

  • What Skip and Dennis remember from being part of the early days of Bull Riders Only
  • The best way to get down off a bull, according to Dennis
  • Why Dennis thinks today’s cowboys are “nuts” 
  • What Skip says makes cowboys the best type of athletes to treat
