Cheyenne Bull Rider, Wyoming, 1999

"As he lands hard, silver spurs on steer wrestler Coty Battles glint through the dirt of Cheyenne. The effects can linger, says his stepmother, Donna: 'The cleaners are always excited to get his pants.'"

—From "Rodeos—Behind the Chutes," September 1999, National Geographic magazine
