""Lane epitomized what a champion ought to be.
Your feet don't ever leave the ground if you are a real champion.
His head never got bigger than the rest of his body.

There's a reason nobody ever said a bad word about him.
Lane was genuine, the real deal.

If he talked to somebody for two seconds
they were a rodeo fan and a Lane Frost fan for life."
Walt Garrison

Judges look for bulls with speed, power, drop in the front end, kick in the back end, directions changed and body rolls. A body roll occurs when a bull is in the air and kicks either his hind feet or all four feet to the side PBR

“Sound stupid? No, what it honestly is, Nancy, is a lotta heart. We push our bodies way past what we should. We push our luck. If there’s no paycheck for two months, you can’t let it break your spirits. I’ve never wondered “Why do I do what I do? I’d hate myself for not doing what I love" Travel Intelligence

"In 1989 the death of Lane Frost, a young man whose friendly smile
was equaled only by his unparalleled grace on an enraged bull
made us realize that even the best of heroes can die in the arena
caught between the hard ground and the harder horns or hooves
of an animal that can not be tamed no matter
how skilled the rider or how determined the effort."
Robert Wilonsky
