It is March, 2014 and music blasts through Palomino Sports Arena in Goldston, NC. Josiah Key, a top ten bull rider in the Southern Extreme Bull Riding Association, mounts a 2,000 pound bucking animal. He is 16 and, as always, knows this ride could be his last. After the ride, Josiah talks about his early interest in rodeos. Born July 29, 1997, Josiah knew before he was in kindergarten that he wanted to ride bulls. The only thing that calmed him down as a child was watching old videos of his hero, Jerome Davis, riding bulls. He got on his first calf at age 6 and has been riding ever since. Now, he is in high school and his whole family is involved in rodeos. His oldest brother fights bulls and his middle brother rides with him. His parents announce rodeos.

             For now, Josiah hopes to win the SEBRA finals. At 16, he was the youngest to qualify for the competition last year. He could win over $20,000. The next SEBRA finals are in January, and Josiah practices constantly in anticipation. Even though Josiah has two years before he is eligible to ride in the Professional Bull Riding Association, he is competing at a professional level with riders far older than himself.
