'Have you ever seen a 2,000 pound bull buck, kick and throw a grown man around from just inches away? Now's your chance!'
I have just received an email from Resistol Arena in Mesquite, Texas advising me that I could be one of 8-10 lucky cowboys and cowgirls chosen to view my next rodeo from a unique vantage point: a shark cage. Who wouldn't want to sneak a peek at the action from within '1,500 tons of steel placed down on the dirt, only 20 feet from the bucking chutes'? I'm seriously tempted. Our night out in Mesquite was one of the highlights of our time in the States - even just thinking about it is making me chuckle. Whoever came up with the idea of sticking a shark cage in the middle of a rodeo in Texas is a marketing genius. This is the ultimate Surf N' Turf.
