matthewcline 0 #2 January 27, 2007 I used your story and picture for a little "hip Pocket Training" yesterday. It opened a few eyes to the newbies on the Team. MattAn Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sundevil777 94 #3 January 27, 2007 Did the other guy ever acknowledge that he was at fault? If I were in your position, I think I would have made him confess or die. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well, if you follow the link in the OP, you'll see the same picture as an attachment.

matthewcline 0 #8 January 28, 2007 Well yo uactually got the "Good Example" attached to you. One of the fellows said you must be extemely calm too, since you didn't "strangle that Mother F**ker with his bridle and film it with his camera helmet". Glad it did work out for you and hopefully the other fellow learned a lesson as well as all who now know about it. MattAn Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
