Default Calgary Police Rodeo

Saturday Aug 22, 2009 @ 1300 hrs. Airdrie Professional Rodeo Grounds (6 km West on Hwy 567 from Hwy 2).

I know some of you support the police. So come show support!

I know some of you hate the police. So come watch us get tossed around.

I know all of you support the efforts of the missing Child Society. Every dollar goes to them.

Gord Bamford is performing after the rodeo is over.

It is seriously a great time. It would be good to see some Calgary Puckers out there. This is the second year that I am competing in it. Got my rear handed to me last year, but I am nuts so I am doing it again!

I'll be there covering it. I'm actually going out now to shoot the amateur bull riding tonight. If you see me with all my camera gear, come say hi.

Hockeycop, if you want some personal pics, pm me your name and i'll shoot for you no charge.

I'd make a joke about female cops, but I'm kinda scared of pissing any of them off.

Well I was going to say "soo... you're going to be riding the female cops, eh?" But like I said, I'm kinda scared to, so I wont.

Guy in the amateur bull riding tonight got pretty seriously hurt when a bull stomped his face. He was doing the 'ol unconscious snore... Luckily, he was wearing a full cage helmet, but the cage didn't stay on. I've got some good photos of the event, I'll post when I get home.

How to get yourself knocked out. Steer steps on amateur rider's face. He was conscious when they took him to hospital.
