OK, these are the guys I always look for first. They are my heroes. They are the pickup men. Pickup men ride to pickup the bronc riders that have managed to ride the full 8 seconds. This means riding up next to a bucking horse and pulling the rider off. They also help get the stock back their exit gate. This pickup man is putting on his leg guards that will hopefully protect his legs from the bucking and kicking of the bronc stock. On top of these they will wear long, gray chaps. Awesome outfits. Even more awesome are their horses. I wanted so much to get pictures of the bronc rides, but the light was too low.
