Lane's personal life was on the rise too.
It was July 30th 1989, Lane was sitting in 2nd place overall with one more bull to ride for a chance at winning the biggest rodeo around and boosting him up into the top 15 in the world rankings.
Lane Frost, a former world champion bull rider, was having a bad year, at the moment he was not even in the top 15 in the world rankings and on the verge of missing the National Finals for the chance at another title. It's called the 'Daddy of 'Em All' for a reason, Cheyenne Frontier Days is the rodeo all the cowboys want to win, the biggest, the best, the most prestigious.
