Sorry for being m.i.a lately but the last couple days have been unreal (and internet has been sketchy). Dave and Duncan both successfully rode a 1200 lb bull!!! You’ll have to see the pictures to believe us but it was totally insane. Dave rode for 6 seconds, Duncan for the official 8 and then Dave returned to the ring to ride an enormous beast with 12 inch horns for a full 3 seconds! It was a life defining moment for both of them and will be an incredible part of the film. #8 is complete!!!
In other news: Jonnie’s thumb is officially broken from training on the mechanical bull and he will be getting surgery this week. We spent a whole day with the wonderful Debbie Boyd, professional fly-fisher (and model!) and caught a total of 6 fish (dave-2, jonnie-2,ben-1,dunc-1) to complete number #44 “Catch Something and Eat It” on the list!! We also headed to the hills of Idaho to tackle #60: Paragliding, which was the closest thing to flight we’ve ever experienced.
All in all it was an extraordinary week and a testament to the live-it-to-the-max philosophy. If you’re still reading please log off and go do something outrageous!
yo brosephs, f@&!ing fascinating stuff guys. Bullriding!!!!!!
I hadn’t checked out the site for a month or so and it looks like you’ll need to start a new list, soon! Excellent work.
Anyway, just thought I’d say good luck and ride the wave.
And Dave, you should probably start wearing a helmet full time.
(also, just came to me, think globally, in terms of worthwhile goals no one has more simple and acheivable dreams than the billions around the world living in poverty. You know if you guys hook up with a UNICEF or some NGO you could change so many lives, not to mention knock off thousands of things from the list)
P.S. if you don’t have one already you need a theme song
“Can’t Stop” by the Chili Peppers comes to mind
