Monday July 20th, on the opening night of the Pioneer Days Rodeo in Ogden, Matthew competed in the Mutton Busin' Competition. With the competition age/weight limits of 8 years old, 50 lbs. Matthew being 8 yrs old and exactly 50 lbs., held an advantage over his younger and slighter competitors. However, it was his grit and determination that really impacted his advantage.
Matthew was the 2nd to last rider to go, and who knows if he had butterflies or even knew what he was getting in too? I think he was excited to do this but he didn't really seem too emotional one way or the other.
Prior to his ride the best score previous was an 81 posted by a High School buddy Jim Wilson's son. I had some success taking pictures of the rides, but for some reason had a hard time locking onto Matthew's ride. His sheep came out faster than I expected and turned a few times to throw me.
In the end, Matthew rode for approximately 20 seconds and scored an 83. The score would stand the final rider and Matthew went on to win 1st place in the competition. I couldn't believe how well he did. Some of the pictures really focus on how hard he held on and how well he did to stay on so long.
Great job Matthew!
After the rodeo we were treated to the Ogio Freestyle Motocross Riders. It was pretty amazing to watch them go, but almost more entertaining to watch the kid's reactions...
