|
Choc’s turn now. |
Ready to go. |
|
|
|
|
No,
he’s not fallen off already ... his initial vault onto ‘Billy the Bull’ was so stylish that he was requested
to do it again!!! |
Okay, let’s get this thing underway ... |
|
|
|
|
It starts off slowly ... |
Nice arse ... Choc that is, not ‘Billy The Bull’!!! |
|
|
|
|
It’s becoming more
difficult ... |
But he’s still aboard ... |
|
|
|
|
Hang on in there
... |
Oooooooohhhhhhhh |
|
|
|
|
The strain is clearly visible ... |
Billy has not unseated him yet ... |
|
|
|
|
Hold
on tight ... |
Choc hangs tough ... |
|
|
|
|
‘Billy the Bull’ is getting the
upper hand ... |
The battle is over ... Choc stayed aboard
for 44 seconds. |
