Sullivan McLeod, the 33-year-old author from Margaret River, Australia who wrote Tunnel Vision: The true story of my probably insane quest to become a professional surfer plans to move to California and join the Professional Bull Riding Tour Touring Pro Division, according to a story on ABC.net.au.
“I’m planning just to capture a piece of the world which is the bull riding in America. I think it must be an amazing subculture,” he said. . . McLeod’s first experience on a bull was two-and-a-half months ago, and he says he stayed on for a couple of seconds. . . “I think it’s a mental thing. If you’re prepared to really put yourself on and learn and try and stick on, you might get fairly good at it,” he said.
The fact that he’s only ridden a bull once hasn’t seemed to slow him down. It seems that McLeod has found the perfect occupation for an Australian: cluelessly dive headfirst into something without a clue and then spray about it for years.
