Did Adam Steen Really Ride a Bull & Live to Tell?
Fortunately, YES!
At the last minute I was getting nervous for him. The thought of killing off a friend and huge supporter of US Rodeo Supply Company was rather overwhelming as the minutes ticked by.
To see Adam behind the chutes, you would have never known he was out of place. He had guys coming up and asking him,
"So where ya up next"?
"Do you wanna jump in with us to the next show"?
Adam took it in stride and I was becoming more worried that we may have just created a monster that was going to continue to get on for some time to come. I can't imagine a meeting when Nathan and Adam come from separate directions through the door limping. A brief moment to catch up on "so what happened to you"? and then off into the serious biz stuff.
Perhaps deja~voo.
Below is a video I threw together highlighting the run up to Adams official ride on Friday evening in Webster City during a NABA Bull Ride produced by Smith & Company Bulls.
To view the video follow this link
On Saturday we circled the wagons and met out at Adam's family farm pond to enjoy an afternoon of fishing, ice cold brews and a hole lot of BS being slung swapping stories and getting sun burned. As it turned out Adam Steen, Brett Trout, Nathan Owen and myself managed to catch a few fish and check out the new iPhone (I'm jealous - but I refuse the price & AT&T).
Not a bad day at all....(note to self....add more sun screen Mr. Lobster)
We are currently accepting bets on when Adam will ride again....and for how long (seconds). Somehow I doubt many will be banking on him "NOT" riding again.
I see a new support group in the making -
1-900-NO-BULLS
Okay, let's see some pics of you as Mr. Lobster, because that has got to be funny. Though I promise I am laughing with you, as opposed to at you.
Gonna have to come back later to watch the video, but I'm sure it's great.

GREAT video, guys, and way to coach Adam! I've been following his adventure and sounds like you all really know how to stress the fun while keeping newbies as safe as possible. Good work all around! ~ Janet

That's an awesome video, fellas! I am a little disappointed, however, that you haven't included the part where Adam tried to run in the bull holding pen after his ride. I don't think I've ever laughed harder in my life.
