The Great Clown Rescue
I don’t usually continue taking photos when the clowns move in. I just wanted to highlight what an amazing job they do, as well as show what a great ride Jacob put in before he needed help.
I’ve always admire “protections clowns” yes they are paid to do their job but I love the way they just put themselves on the line for (most of the time) complete strangers, to get job done.
Leaim & his team have always done an extra special job at the Boulia Rodeo over the last 10 years.
Jacob left the chutes at 5.35:24
Jacob sits pretty for the whole 8 second he is required to do
Looking good
Jacob puts in a great ride
11 seconds
Clowns moving in from all sides
From this moment on Owen, protection clown, doesn’t let go of Jacob
Owen putting himself between bull and Jacob
Notice Owen hasn’t let go of Jacob and still trying to get between bull and him
Owen puts himself over Jacob while Scotty and Leaim move in
Owen is still holding onto Jacob and forcing himself to try and cover him
Owen has put his body over Jacob
Still holding on to Jacob with legs of bulls basically stepping all over Owen is doing a magic job
Bull is distracted by other clowns while Owen still concentrates on getting Jacob clear
Owen making sure Jacob is under the rails. From time Jacob started coming off bull until now was whole 8 seconds. Just goes to show how quick this fellows have to think on their feet.
5.35:24
21 seconds later, Jacob is under the rails and safe, Owen now looks to get himself out of the road. Thankfully Jacob walked away from this, all thanks to Owen & team mates summing up the situation & acting to do their job so well.
