    Met Tuff years ago at Iowa State Fair when he was in his hey day. I was walking with my daughter thru the horse barn when she stopped and pointed with a smile and said that's Tuff daddy. He heard her and came over and talked to her. Made her day. He was a really nice guy.

      T-38 Flamed out on Takeoff 🛫 and the pilot and his incredible skills to... clear. The campers and Trailers and crashed into the Bull Pen killing a Bull and the pilot ejected and flew a considerable distance sideways to the Left of the aircraft and hit a hot dog 🌭 stand and stopped by the fence where Lane Frost statue is!

    Feb 1994 my grandmother passed away and Gary Leffew just finished helping with the movie 8 seconds. My cousin Jimmy Vann was one of Gary's students and this movie fired up something inside of him to ride again. Jimmy would tell me about Lane and his kids holding his kids on his shoulders so they could see Lane ride. Anyways April 1994 Jimmy decides to go back to bull riding at 33 years old and drew a bull called Silverado in Red Bluff California, and the bull spun coming down on Jim's chest breaking a rib that went through his heart he stood up raised his right arm up in the air took 3 steps and fell face first in the dirt just like the movie. My cousin Jim was dead. He died doing what he loved and I'll see him one day in heaven because Jim took Jesus as his savior. Rodeo on boys Rodeo on

He wanted to carry on in his fathers footsteps even though his father lost a arm in a bull riding accident He was a real cowboy

To hear him talkin about ridin the next week is a testiment to the man he is! I have so much respect for this man I cant even explain! He stood up for me at a rodeo in Loveland Colorado in the 90's when Ty Murray was chewin my ass for being in the way on the back of the chutes during the bull ridin when I was a kid. Tuff is one hell of a man and I will always look up to him, he will forever be an idol of mine!

    I lived not even 5 miles away from Mr. Mrs Frost. I got to speak to Clyde once and he always talk about how Lane had a sparkle in his eye that was contagious almost. And that's what inspired me to ride in highschool. Made some good friends along the way. Mason Lowe was a good friend of mine. So Tuff I understand the pain of losing not only a road partner but someone who was so close that they are like a brother to you. And that ride will never be forgotten along with the memories that were made on the journey before. Tip of the hat to ya bud.

    Met Tuff. At Lakeland Florida twice. Was awesome. Jerome Davis. JW Hart jumped on shoot next to me. I was 8n awe. Love these guys. Love the movie of Lane Frost. Being close to buddies growing up. If u aren't moved by this story. U don't understand. Thank you. These guys lived it. The PBR was born from this love of cowboying. Riding bulls. Being tough. Think I met a few at Gordyville USA. Great memories.

    I've alway's loved the Rodeo, but I'm a racer at my core & when the racing world lost Davey Allison in 93, Lane was my first thought, they were so much alike Davey & Lane, in talent level, in career success early on in their career's, both undoubtedly headed straight to the top of their chosen profession's & both beloved for their easy going, kind, alway's smiling selves. The world was a little darker after they left it. ✝️ 🙏 😞 RIP LEGEND'S

    31 years later and you can tell it is really hard for him to talk about losing his friend. So sad. These days young people call acquaintances friends. They don't even know the meaning of the word, in my opinion.

    I was driving truck back then. I was going thru Cheyenne wishing that I had gotten there a little earlier so I could have went. So I had stopped for a break in Cheyenne and had started out on last leg of trip to SLC, UT. I was listening to the radio when they came on they air and told us about Lane Frost. I was a big rodeo fan you understand, when that was announced, I just had to pull off the road for a little bit to I guess just gather myself up. Lane Frost was the man! I followed him quite a bit. His rides on I think it was Red Rock and Yellow Jacket. Memory not very good but I think that was just a couple of the bulls.

      I remember watching Lane and Tuff as a kid, me and my best friend would try to ride his dad's bull's because we thought we were Lane. Needless to say we ended up in the ER a few time's. We were only 11 years old doing that crazy stuff. The world is not like it was 35 years ago, they don't make men like this anymore.

    Tuff and Lane were at the top of their game, and then that last day in July came around and the rest is as we say "history". I wish he didn't pass away, he was my idol even if I was born decades after that

    I was fortunate enough to meet my heroes when I was 12. In 1987 I was introduced to Lane and Tuff. It is a memory I will carry to my last breath. Great riders and better men that were more than happy to spend time with a starstruck kid.

    My parents named me after Lane Frost. They were at the rodeo when he died. They said the place erupted when he finished the ride but when he collapsed they said you could hear a pin drop from 100 miles away because it was so quiet. Anybody who hasn’t seen 8 seconds needs to watch it immediately. One of the best movies ever in my opinion

Some of the best years of my life with my grandparents if we weren't watching y'all, we were keeping tabs on y'all Through the Grapevine lol. Which is why you got to respect old folk with the telephone they knew what you did when you did it how you did it and how many times you scratched your butt while you was doing it with a rotary telephone ! Well hell it was like we was there man lol ! God bless a cowboy .
