When I was a kid, he was the guy in the Stampede music video. But now that I've got to know about him and more of his music, he's a legend. I don't think I've ever seen someone with so many personal anecdotes from someone who knew them on the internet as much as I see of Chris. Glad you got to know him.

Back when Cowboys were real cowboys and didn’t ride with helmets, face masks etc. most didn’t even wear vests either. I remember those days. The Charles Sampson, Jim Sharp, Tuff Hedeman, Cody Lambert, Cody Custer, Ty Murray, Ted Nuce, Jerome Davis, Troy Dunn, Bubba Dunn, J.W. Hart & Don Gay days of Cowboy’n! They are the true Legends of the sport. Of course we can never forget the one and only Lane Frost!

Chris was a Great Friend and Rodeo Rider . His Songs and Music is about history and His life along with certain traditions and Values

He is one of my favorites. It was such a loss for the music world, and more so for the rodeo cowboy performers

I did have the opportunity to see him when he came to Fort Worth and had a concert at Billy Bob’s. His band was every bit as good as George Straits band. When they broke out doing the William Tell Overture I was completely blown away! Awesome night!

Wow, what an insanely phenomenal collection of bulls and rides! SO exciting!

saw him in concert during national ffa week best singer

Hooked On An 8 Second Ride, a shot of adrenaline every time!! Chis was a one of a kind!!

Here I am 30 years later after hearing Chris’s name first mentioned in a Garth song, finally listening to his incredible music. Man this stuff is fun to hear. Rock and roll sensibilities with country/ cowboy themes and a dash of Western Americana Mythos.

Randomly came across this video looking for something else...the rabbit hole that is youtube. I gotta love my bull riders/bull fighters. My "nephew" is a young bull rider and my heart stops everytime I see him. Tip ya'lls hats to these guys. Tougher then nails. I used to do barrels when I was a kid and I loved the feeling of going break neck speeds on my horses. #rodeosforever #cowgirlstuckinthecity #wideopenspaces

Part of the reason his rodeo songs are this great is that he actually came from this sport. Chris Ledoux was the 1976 World Bareback Bronco Riding champion on the rodeo circuit. It's actually where he originally wrote many songs like this.

I bet it was one heck of a ride I love the rodeo

How many of you would watch bull riding over any other sport?

I'd never got to meet this legend

Great Legend of country music the great Chris Ledoux !!!!!!

when i was riding bulls this was my song they played it every rodeo when i was on and still is to this day my number one song for everything i still love thius song till the day im put six feet under

Chris laduca always be missed but he will always be smiling down on us

Bro the bull ride at the guitar drop was clean as fck

Chris use to ride his horse from east Austin to oak hill and jam , with who ever wanted to play. Rip brother we will never forget you.

We all pass bareback ,saddle, n bull riders all miss him ,dam. Love his song ,keep us high n burn them sosins!!miss him!

This song is the best for all cowboys in the world

Good Video, #1 Chris LeDoux

I have a buddy that was always hooked on a 2 second ride

I seen it when Chris Ledoux won his world championship in Oklahoma city nfr

8 seconds? I wouldn't make it out of the chute! LOL. I was watching the clock on that one ride and I felt like it was half an hour!

Miss you Chris RIP
