Re: Bucking rolls

They are nice but if rely on them too much and you have one that really gets with it then you blow a screw you might end up with a new turkey track across your saddle. :( It could happen without them but I ride a bronc alot better if I sit up and ride it rather then rely on bucking rolls.
