Download Your Copy King Of The Cowboys Assembled By Ty Murray Formatted As EPub
autobiography of Ty's rodeo career from beginning to end was a fun read, I didn't know he is part Potowattamie from Oklahoma, It may explain why he invites Native bull riders to his Invitational PBR Event every year in Albuquerque.
Of course, it was interesting reading about how his riding abilities progressed from a young child, into the amateurs and college rodeo, and eventually to the professional level.
If you've ever wondered what it takes to ride in pro rodeo, this is a great book to understand it all.
I enjoyed reading this bio of Ty Murray, It was a nice quick read, The writing is enjoyable. It is told from Ty's viewpoint and language, yet, one also has the benefit of reading professional writing from a veteran author coauthor Steve Eubanks.
This is the story of Ty's life mainly during his pro rodeo days, I have only been to two rodeos in my life, so I am no expert, but have interest in the sport.
I was still well able to understand and follow Ty's story, Now, if you have no idea at all what Bull Riding is, you may not really want to read this book, unless you have fallen in love with Ty Murray due to his recent Dancing with the Stars appearances.
But there is not a bit of dancing mentioned,
I give it three,
it was a really good book it talked about all his rides and how he never got to nervous and when he got a hard bull he never did anything unusual he always did the same old things he did talked about how he felt on each bull he could have felt more confident on some and less on other but either way its the pbr and i wouldn't care as long as i got to ride in the pbr.
From the front flap:"The most famous rodeo champion of all time tells his amazing true storyand opens a fascinating window into the world of the professional cowboy.
" all around championships, rodeo I thoroughly enjoyed this book, Seeing the rodeo through Ty Murray's eyes is getting an insider's view of the men who ride roughstock, particularly the bulls.
Because Ty can laugh at himself as he relates his first experiences setting up his own travel arrangements and his rehabilitation after repeated injuries as well as other incidents from his career, I laughed along with him.
Even if you've never been to a rodeo, this book is worth reading, Wow! I didn't know this book was out there until a goodreads friend wrote a review on it.
This is one of the reasons I love goodreads, I asked for it for Christmas, got it, and expected to spend days reading it because it is nonfiction.
I started it yesterday and finished it today, The writing was a bit rough at first, but it didn't take long to find that it gave a "voice"
to the book that was all cowboy.
It is funny, sad, thrilling, painful, and informative, and for those of us who enjoy an occasional PBR event or rodeo, this book is the next best thing to being backstage with the participants preparing to ride.
For most of us, that will never be a possibility which makes this book the best thing, I still have a dream of attending at least one finals in Las Vegas in either rodeo or PBR or, even better, both finals.
I had the privilege of seeing Ty Murray ride in the PBR in St, Louis sometime in the's, there were Wrangler ads everywhere featuring Ty Murray, and it was an experience I will remember for a long time.
I have several times tried riding a mechanical bull and I'm here to tell you the strain on the wrist is incredible.
Of course, my riding was not so much for the bull ride as for the sailing through the air and landing on the airfilled cushioning on the floor, so I didn't plan on lasting long, which is a good thing because a mechanical bull is a pale imitation of the real thing and even that is not easy.
Still, given those few seconds before I went flying, I could understand why Ty Murray says he loves it.
I know I love watching it, so reading about it is something special, A look into the life of one of the most successful cowboys! He rode in booth NFR amp PBR and helped bring The Sport Of Bull Riding into an event all its own.
This boys is about his life plain and simple!
I've read this book, Loved it! Will reread it! It was fun to read a book about a person and lifestyle I didn't know much about.
I knew who Ty Murray was, and have always had a curiosity about rodeo, One day I saw my grandpa reading this book and asked if I could have it when he was done.
I'm really glad I did, Ty Murray is just one of those guys you have to admire, He's funny. You're probably not going to find a harder worker, And he carries himself with integrity, All of that comes through in this book, It just so happens he's a good writer, too, I am actually pretty sad to have finished the book, because there are no more of Ty's stories in store for me.
The champion cowboy describes his youth, his determination to become a rodeo star, his rise to success in the sport, the lifethreatening injuries that nearly ended his career, and his struggle to return to the sport he loved.
