[RC] What do you think when you are coming off? - Barb Peck

If it's a slow buck- and I have TIME to think I say "Sh*t I'm, NOT coming off.

If it's a hard buck - and no time to think- I don't think - I just react .
If I do get thrown THEN I say Oh crap.

I have a 1 minute AVI movie of me riding my 4 year old this spring where he 
tucks his butt, leaps (trys to bolt)
and then tries to get into a buck - palying the movie at normal speed it all 
looks so SO benign compared
to what was really happening at the time.. I couldn't beleive it when I watched 
the video..
untill I played it frame by frame..
and then I said- well there you go- all that power and frenzy happened in 
nano-seconds.. no wonder it was just purely reaction on my part.. I had very 
little recollection of the MOVES I was making to get him back under control 
untill I watched it frame by frame.
