Max Miller, 22, of Staunton, VA wraps his hand in the bull rope to get a solid grip before participating in Bull Riding segment of the 2015 Lone Star Rodeo at Western Kentucky University’s Ag Expo Center on February 14, 2015. Generally, bull-riders grip underhand with their dominant hands. This grip is the only thing keeping them on their bull. Nikki Boliaux/HERALD
