Professional rodeo bareback rider Beau LeDoux – son of the 1976 world champion in this event – rides a horse called Royal River at the 2010 Cheyenne Frontier Days rodeo in Wyoming. Beau was shot in super-slow motion by pro videographer Mike McCrimmon using a Phantom Flex HD camera at 700 frames per second. LeDoux’s father, Chris, retired from rodeo to embark on a very successful music career that included many sold-out performances at the Cheyenne night shows. Beau LeDoux is a leather craftsman and makes his own chaps. Can you find the Wyoming symbol stitched into this pair?
