Bigger than life was Larry Mahan , he even had two world titles in bull riding back in the 60s . There was a movie called the great American cowboy and it showed Larry going for the worlds all around cowboy title against Phil Lynne . Also that movie had a part about the bull from RSC named Oscar . And Larry mahan got on that bull in the movie, wow ! Larry mahan was bigger than life , he was like a god in his field . No one like him, not even close. Sad to know he’s gone but he did it right rip champ and may god truly bless you.

My hero as a kid. Just found out he passed a few days ago. Heartbroken. He only lived a few miles from me & I met him one time. A very sweet guy.
I agree, dirty tough sons a guns! But Larry took Rodeo to the next level.
Casey Tibbs, and others including Jim Shoulders were very famous long before Larry Mahan . 🐴
They were style setters in their eras too. Wish I still had my "Grizz" hat. My mom ordered it from Western Horseman Mag. for my 18th birthday.
Jim Shoulders was quoted as saying "Rodeo would be in a helluva mess if it wasn't for Larry Mahan."
