Colo. Teen Dies After First Bronc Ride

A 17-year-old fulfilling a dream to learn rodeo died after a horse rolled on top of him during his first bucking bronco ride, his family said.

Stuart Mazanec died Wednesday from organ damage, four days after the accident at a weekend rodeo clinic in Byers, about 30 miles east of Denver.

"It was his first and last ride," said his mother, Pam Mazanec.

Stuart Mazanec, a senior at Douglas County High School south of Denver, was trying to get off the bronco after finishing the standard 10-second bareback ride Saturday when his hand got caught in the rigging around the horse's neck, said Jay Brentner, a family friend and rodeo veteran who was at the clinic.

Mazanec tried to run alongside the horse, but the animal staggered, tripped and landed on him. When the horse got up, the teen was hanging limply at its side, Brentner said.

After being taken to a Denver hospital, Mazanec managed to speak despite a broken jaw, his mother said.

"The first thing he told me was, 'Mom, don't cry,'" she said.

By Wednesday, his body had begun to fail, and the family decided to remove life support that night after consulting with doctors and a priest, Pam Mazanec said.

Pat Bohlender-Lowe of the Colorado State High School Rodeo Association said she could recall only one other youth rodeo fatality in the state, a bull-riding accident about 20 years ago.

"People sometimes forget what a rough sport it is," said Brentner. "But for Stuart, the one thing he always wanted to try ended up being the thing that killed him."

wo, captain bring down

SHARKS!
That's what I have lucid dreams about these days. Freakin' me out.

I used to have recurring dreams about sharks. Mostly I would be checking out a break, and I would see sharks in the water. Usually not a dream of an actual attack. But then again, I never had a dream about actually riding a wave until fairly recently.

I think your shark dreams are probably simbolic. Perhaps you have some anxiety about something else in your life.

I believe that was the case for my dreams as well.

That guy has over 4 million hits on his website, so his girlfriend better be ready to GIVE IT UP.

I'll dream that I am surfing better than I actually do, then, wala, I actually start being better..........there is some kind of power in the subconscious.

I dream of getting fried...happy frieday.

anyone going to see Tool at the Paramount?

i masturbate 1 time a day, in the shower.

MYTH: If I treat a woman well and listen to what she says, she'll stop complaining

TRUTH: Women never stop complaining. For them, it's a sport. Some complain more than others, but none of them will ever stop, any more than one day men will stop discussing football. Men have built civilizations, created law, invented husbandry (that's keeping domestic animals by the way, not marriage; women invented marriage), built skyscrapers, invented cars, washing machines, antibiotics, toilets, computers, and microwave ovens, and generally dragged us out of caves and into condos. Don't kid yourself: men did it all. If it were up to women we'd still be living in caves and dying at 20. I know that men did it all because I know why they did it: they hoped that it would stop women complaining. It didn't.

If you listen to your girlfriend's bitching and try to make everything better, you'll suffer the same fate as all the men who came before: you'll run yourself ragged, and at the end of it all she'll still be bitching. If you ignore all but the most important complaints, she'll bitch about that, too, but you'll feel far better about your life.

E,
I read many of your items but seldom post.

I asked this question yesterday but no reply. Many of Michael Kew photos are of spots seldom known to norcal individuals. In fact I lived near the second spot for some time and would like to see if he has any more pics of that spot or any others nearby.

What years did he live in Humboldt and does he have contact info?

wounded pidgeon?

Senor Humboldt. I don't know the answers to your queries. Michael reads the blog sometimes so i'll let him answer you if he wishes.

shred on.

Michael, The second pic is actually a spot I frequent a lot (weather permitting). Would like to talk (off MB) further if you have any pics of that area. Plan to venture down there soon (from N. Hum Co) to see friends at a small vino get together in the area.
Senor Humboldt

Thanks, E , shred on

I think the following idea has some merit...it's worth the read. We CAN have an impact on gas prices if we all act together to force a price war.

For the rest of this year, DON'T purchase ANY gasoline from the two biggest companies (which now are one), EXXON and MOBIL.

If they are not selling any gas, they will be inclined to reduce their prices. If they reduce their prices, the other companies will have to follow suit. This makes MUCH MORE SENSE than the "don't buy gas on a certain day” campaign that was going around last April! The oil companies knew we wouldn't continue to "hurt" ourselves by refusing to buy gas. It was more of an inconvenience to us than it was a problem for them.

But to have an impact, we need to reach literally millions of Exxon and Mobil gas buyers. It's really simple to do! Just send this to 10 people and ask them to send to 10, and so on. If everyone did this we could conceivably contact 300 MILLION people within the next 8 days!!!

If you don't know, try this: when you come home at the end of day or whenever. Sit down and let your girl vent, complain or whatever about their day. Ask a few questions about their day and let them go off for 10-15 minutes. Then go do whatever you want. Women need to vent and they think you are actually listening if you sit there for 10-15 minutes (even while you are thinking football, that cutback or the awesome tits on your co worker). This technique needs to be done upon arriving home. Don't believe it?

And you will get laid more often.

Can someone get that rocketboom chick to STFU already.

Yep, they like to decompress when they get home. Mine goes for like 30 minutes, I listen, and agree when I agree, and sympathise when I sympathise.
Then she's good to go for the rest of the night. 5 years into marriage and I'm still enjoying it, she's cool.
Complaining anon dude maybe you need to explore your sexuality a bit more, have you considered you may be gay? You seem to be more into guys than chicks.

Sr Humboldt, forget about Kew, you should just go there, snap some pics yourself, enjoy and don't mention the names to anyone who wasn't with you. Why do you need his pics? Nevermind, just bummed that I slept in this morning and it was foggy and glassy, two things i love around here.

Korewin, can't wait til you get down this way. We'll find a spot working that you can get fun waves at and hit the bottom again. Ahhh. Niceness weekend all.

Oh and the Wailing Souls are coming to LA mid may! Go run dem down if they play up north!! Never seen them live, one of the few old school reggae bands I haven't seen, but they are one of the iriest...

You're probably right about the shark dreams - I have bigger issues to worry about than the off chance of being eaten - undoubtedly some misplaced anxiety.

But come these foggy, still mornings, with dark clear water, random boils and long waits between sets - I'll be biased towards the inside and inclined to bunch with da pack. Statistics, simple statistics.

Sorry, I'm a wuss.

that second to last wave is soooooo weak! look at the inside, its like a 2' murshburger!

obro - on the other hand, you may be destined to be eaten and you're seeing it through your dreams.

I’m not worried about name dropping. Over that, we let the Humboldt state kids fight over that. Us permanent residents just let the cold, waves and indigenous wildlife and marine life do our regulating. If it’s the same spot I’m thinking about, trust me many people would be lost or intimidated by our roads, lack of signs and 4WD access. I don’t need any further pics Just want to touch base with Kew to see if he knew any of the people I did/do and if comes up here often.

I've been there a few times too, it is a crappy little wave, can be fun with a LB but not worth the drive and it needs a lot os swell, and there is a way better wave just a couple hours away by foot. Might as well just go to Sand Dollar.

hey E, im gonna smoke all my ganj out of my friends hooka in a few hours so i probably wont have any smoke

Longboarding rocks!

Meditate upon this: If a man speaks in the forest, and no woman hears him, is he still wrong?

Mexi, a LB would be fun on summer days but that area is very nice on NW fall/winter swells.

You've been there as well. "mule" break is another one that is a hike but well worth it. Didnt know many people ventured there.

When a human regardless of gender wants to vent about whatever it is that is bothering them, they just want to be listened to and understood.

They do not want their problems solved for them, and they certainly do not want you to pretend to listen to them.

Just try listening without taking blame, without offering solutions, or even agreeing with their point of view.

All you really need to do is understand that they are bothered by something. If you can convey that to them without giving advice, taking responsibility, or passing judgement, you will have done them and yourself a world of good.

hola amigos!
i am in a hotel in san jose, cr. how i ended up at this hotel is a classic ripoff tale: the taxi driver called some fake cellphone number where the guy on the other end told me there were no rooms available where i wanted to stay, so taxista could drive me to his hotel.
classic. i figured it out too late.
that concludes the tales-of-gringos-getting-ripped portion of today's message board.
i fly home tomorrow, and am trying to focus on the lack of jellyfish and mosquitos around monterey bay, and not think about 4/3mm of neoprene.
e, i sent bueno tropical vibraciones your way from the water.
mucho pura vida a todos!

to whoever posted the 'boycott exxon' crap - get a clue. area refineries sell to whoever will buy, not just stations that are branded the same. ie exxon refineries sell to mom and pop stations and anyone else. not only that, most staions are franchises so you really only hurt the individual that runs that station. why is everybody pissed that exxon made 9% profit? they have made a similar profit margin for years and no one cared. this 'boycott exxon' crap is an ingnorant knee-jerk reaction.

if you really want to make a difference just USE LESS GAS. simple supply and demand. ride your bike. walk. ditch the SUV. and most of all, don't drive to my neighborhood for surf.

HG, I was trying to throw off your clues, I'm not talking...

As for Oil companies bringing in record profits. Gas should be more expensive, but the extra money should go to cleaning up their and our mess not their pockets. Tax the hell out of and regulate consumption with high taxes.
What do fuel taxes accomplish? For starters, people cut back on fuel consumption. This is a positive thing for all of us, because burning oil leads to air, noise, water and soil pollution. Fuel taxes provide incentives for people to burn fuel in more efficient ways. Several countries in Europe actually call them 'carbon' taxes, since carbon is a major pollutant. It should be no surprise, then, that European cars are far superior to North American cars in fuel efficiency, and this includes cars produced by the same companies.
In Europe, fuel tax can amount to more than 75% of the price at the pump. Comparatively, gas taxes in Canada represent approximately 40% of the price at the pump, with variations between provinces and territories. In the U.S., the tax percentage is only 12.5%. Why the disparities? Well, because just like businesses, countries have different goals -- and taxes are placed on consumption goods as a vehicle by which governments attain these goals. Fuck the oil companies Buy biofuels.

I meant SH not HG

I understand and you know that "mule" is code as well.

I'm not asking for speakers for my backyard but just interested. Never seen any one out in the water with me for years and then a pic is posted.
Not upset because Kew and if you really have ventured there, know that rarely anyone travels in that area unless they have gardening to do.

Bodyboarding Chix Rock!

I've given up on reducing oil consuption. Every last drop is going to be burned regardless if that takes 50 or 100 years. I think its best we run out as soon as possible and start the healing earlier. Its just too effecient a source of energy. Eventually it will get so expensive to extract, the market will switch to alternative sources. Try telling China to reduce their consuption. Lots of luck.

gas tax is regressive.
taxes in general are an inefficent means of regulating.

Brian, no worries man.

Bagel and i are headed up to do a niceness interview with Brian on Sunday!

J.O.C. - hellz yeah! thanks for the tropical vibrations from Jacoba! I'm in deep need of some of that.

To the poster who commented: "women invented marriage", I must respectfully correct you. Marraige (in the Western sense anyway) was originally more of a contract to consolidate wealth and keep it "in the family". Men arranged marraiges of their offspring to the offspring of other men in order to strengthen or create wealth and inheritence lines, political/social/business alliances and to maintain a patriarcial order. The woman may have had a symbolic purpose/role but she rarely got to call the shots, rather she was more like property to be bought, sold or traded. Today, marriage is still a financial contract between two people and a whole lot more complications added in for the day time talk shows. The DeBeers people started the whole diamond engagement ring thing, not women, (although there are plenty of females out there gladly perpetuating the "two month salary" rule) and until fairly recently, had little power in the relationship once she became the wife (read property) of their husband.

...I just think it's wise to consider the historical context

why can't the oil co's make a profit? 9% profit ain't a whole lot. the fact that it added up to billions of dollars only points to how much was consumed. if apple makes 9% profit off of record sales of ipods nobody cares. so why the anger with the oil co's? i also don't think taxing the consumer is the right solution. give the oil co's tax breaks for alternative energy development. they have the money to invest meaningfully in alternative energy. they operate and maintain the world's energy infrastructure. it's in their and our long term best interest. give american auto manufacturers tax credits for producing and selling high efficiency vehicles.

oh, and carbon is not a major pollutant. it's a fundamental building block of all life.

moral - don't waste gas driving to my neighborhood to surf.

love Get Real but his tough boy posturing re: don't surf my "'hood" is lame.

tounge firmly in cheek. gotta work some surf in there somewhere. pretty flat here anyway.

Fair enough, Get Real. Surf this morn looked terrible but was fun. Me likey dawn patrol.

Oil profits have soared waaaay past a mere 9%! The AP reported today that Cheveron alone reported a first quarter profit of 49%. That is typical of what these guys have been getting lately. I'm all for the free market and for capitalism, but price gouging (oil companies), gaming the system with the help of crooked politicials (ENRON to name just one) and polluting the environment without consequence (too many to count) is just plain wrong.

Surfers use so much gas. Who among us has not driven up and down the highway, checking everywhere only to return to the spot we started at? Flown across the world to surf in trunks? Driven to SC after work during the summer, desperate to get out of the foggy onshore slop?

Here's a golden oldie from Gulf War I...

dude anon,
exxon profits ROSE 49%, their margin of profit wasn't 49%! It just means there was more consumption at a higher price so the total dollar value of profits increased.

Don't let your poor understanding of math shape your politics.

And as someone else said, Apple profit margin is like 25%. Congressional investigation?

Oil companies are publically traded companies so the people who profit from these profits are pesion holders, 401k holders etc.

oh boy. see, this is the problem. everybody makes assumptions based on sound bites.

anon says "Oil profits have soared waaaay past a mere 9%! The AP reported today that Cheveron alone reported a first quarter profit of 49%." No they didn't. the first quarter profits were 49% more that the year ago quarter. chevron's profit margin is 7.8%.

there are probably plenty of reasons to be pissed at oil co's (environmental, social, plus all the politcal conspiracies). just make sure the complaint is legit before you go flying off.

OB's blown out, vapor is good, deep REM is niceness, women gripe a lot, horses can kill you, don't get juked in CR, oil dealers make loads of sweet cash, we are addicted to their awesome drug.

e blog is edumacational. After a great wave, I scream underwater during a duckdive b/c it feels good. When I get to the surface, nobody realizes I'm insane.

anon, move to europe and cry about european oil companies 'price gouging' you there. i cant believe you fall for that "oil companies = evil" bullshit, that is for stupid people.

you have a problem with oil prices and you live in the US? well, quit whining and use less oil.

you cry that you cant afford to fill your gas tank? quit whining, and get a smaller car.

you Americans crying about gas prices is pathetic. Try travelling a little outside your borders and you'll see why there arent huge SUV's in other countries. you'll also see very fuel efficient GM cars in other countries.

QUIT WHINING YOU PUSSY AMERICANS, GET REAL. QUIT BLAMING EVERYTHING ON GEORGE BUSH AND THE OIL COMPANIES, TAKE A LOOK AT YOUR SYSTEM AS A WHOLE. TURN OFF THE TV, CANCEL NASCAR, AND PUT YOUR FAT CHICKS ON DIETS.

that guy on the right has some rad tramp stamps.
i wonder if he regrets them now, or will he when he grows up?

...maybe we should all just go surfing

Change is coming, HERE COMES CHINA !!!
just have a look in the Outer Sunset.

deny it all you want...

ps- that aint fog, although that's what the chinese will tell you it is:

Does Bob drop in on the guy on the right?

I dont think those guys would be stoked to know thier photos are up on the internet for all the peanut gallery to throw darts at.

...and you people are crying about oil prices??

respect? get real. if you have stupid tattoos and you flex for the camera guy, then you gotta expect that he will post them.

just think if the Paris Hilton tape never got out due to "respect" or the Pam Anderson tapes? DAMN!!!

tattoos = "PLEASE LOOK AT ME!!" right?

tattoos = people crying for attention = bad parenting.

i hear you poonani.

eh - where did those pics go? Guess E really is doing a editors job nowadays. How many posts get pulled per day then?

Surf under it, drive, bike, walk across it, admire it and watch the sunrise and set off it.

But don't jump from it.

E, if you and Bagel are gonna surf with Brian on Sunday let me know so I can put in a good word with the local hillbillies. Cheers.

sorry about deleting the photo.
Folks have been threatening me lately so i'm trying to keep that whole vibe non-existent here on niceness.

Spiderman we'll be up there on sunday morning. not sure who you mean by hillbillies? More people that want to beat me up? hope not.

peace out y'all. have a radical weekend.

just got the old Friday afternoon Office Spaceesque "could you come in this weekend and get that done by Monday morning so we can hit the ground running next week blah, blah, blah"

always leave work early on Fri, always.

such a fucking rat race here in the Bay Area.

coming to america, looks like shenzen... been there to many times to count in the last 3 years... + ff miles - everything else? hong kong is bladerunnerville and sz is pittsburg or detroit in their "haydays" times a billion. it cannot be stopped and it cannot be held accountable for anything by anyone. i am in fear for my kids and the north of mexico american way of life....

ethan, noticeable change in the tenor of the discussion and the posts. kinda miss the venom but if your being threatened use the technology, find them, keep an eye on em, and then "fuck them", their pussy's...

Yeah well e - could see how people might blame you for posts that rag on others. Pretty stupid tho on their part.

You ever get in trouble with any fort crew I think you could summon up a reasonable group of folks take to task! I reckon although there are plenty of bullshitters on here, there are also plenty of decent peeps who take offence to that local vibe crap and would be willing to come out into the open and be counted.

Would be kind of fun - a blogging army rounding the corner at Fort point banging their leashes against boards and screaming brave heart style...before charging into battle!! yeeehhhaaa!

Take back the fort!!!

fuck i really need some waves.

yabba dabba doobie

come on down to fort and we'll fuck you in the ass and film it. Better yet, bring your girlfriends down to fort so we can fuck them in the butt and make you watch nigga

cta, went back and looked at the pics... not sz, too few cars and people, a lttle more smoggy... sz is on the sea but no surf.. "sheckoo" to hong kong is 20 minutes.

I find it funny that these idiots are demanding lower gas prices. Lately, I've noticed that every other car is a monster SUV or redneck boy truck. Fucking retards. It's bad enough every last bit of land is paved for these brokeback mountainers, but to then wine about gas prices so you can fuck things up even more?

Then, the really annoying idiots are the rich SUV owners who don't seem to mind higher gas prices because it only amounts to a few $100 a month more out of pocket. No big deal. Fuck them.

Try riding a bike you fuckers. I just read today that 30% of Americans are obese. No doubt about that if you can't even go on a walk because some brokebacker trucker is going to run you down because you're acting like a democrat or some shit.

Besides biking is kind of like surfing in the 70's around here. Same type of comradarie. Same unspoiled biking spots (road). Pretty soon there will be more kooks, but that's A-OK with everyone.

Peace,
Skip

This is a true story that happened today. SS7 and I were walking on a well known SF beach to surf a local point on a crappy small day but nobody was out and we wanted to get wet. As we were walking on the beach I was looking at the mussels and birds and hardly noticed the 2 fishermen on the rocks between the water and us. As I was walking with my custom made priceless board under my arm one of the fisherman , unbeknownst to me, yanked back on his rod and sent 3 of those 3 lb weights shooting at me at 60 mph, I heard a sudden "SMACK" and was stunned and pushed back, having no idea what the fuck hit my and my board. I looked up and saw the fisherman and realized what happened. " what the hell," I yelled, " you gotta be careful!" I wqas pissed but restrained. His repsonse, however, sent me into a rage. " No you watch out man!" he growled at me in a strange acdent somewhere between Russian and Spanish. " You no walk behind!" Keep in mind he was at least 30 yards away from me on a fucking rock, no less. I was dumbfounded then livid..." Whatch your damn rod!" Then his buddy, a big Russian I believe, says " you stay off the beach!" I respond " fuck you motherfucker! " and then in an ill advised fit of rage , pick up a large sedimentary ocean rock and deliver a fastball at his feet! The rock hit the large rock under his feat and exploded, clearly startling him. " fuck you !" I said to empahsize it. his reply was " no fuck you". then he got off his rock and went to his bag on the beach and I thought it better to go and surf. surfers beware, the fishermen are after us!

sorry hells angels guy, you weren't around, so i pinch hit for you.

Antman, that's crazy. I'm always paranoid to get into a hook, but that just takes the cake.
Glad you got away in one piece!

antman, if you made that shit up your an asshole...:/) if not, were you alone?, even so you gotta stand up to these fuckin' people! if he was wrong, and i trust your story, he was way out of line if he made contact, you have to shout these idiots down! of course, there are the details... guns, numbers, etc... but never the less there usually pussy's. and after you give them shit you can always paddle out.

Yeah cause you can paddle out far enough to not get shot? What?

Sadly the story is true, ask Surf seeker for conformation. The part that got me was that they tried to blame me for the incident and started to yell at me when I told them to be careful. I have never had a bad experience with a fisherman before ( actually I was snagged at Rockaway years ago) so I have no reason to fabricate such a tale. What if he had done this to one of the more aggro locals who frequent that particular break? He would have probably gotten his as kicked i suspect. Still I probalby shouldnt have chucked the rock, what if I'd beaned him in the head and he drowned? I must admit, it felt good to let it fly but itWAS scary to allow my rage to takeover as I am a very mellow dude. He could have been a retired Russian seargent in the army and he might have shanked me or worse!

Naw, no beat downs, we’re all just huge “Brian” fans. And, it would be “nice” to see you guys in the hood.

shut up dem guns.

i started out a mello surfer in 1970 and quickly realized mello is situational...

Grew up in NJ and the surf fisherman vs. surfer war has been raging on for 20 years. In Jersey, the breaks are much closer to the beach and the fisherman try to hit you with their sinkers. We would bite their lines...got ugly once in a while...it was downright dangerous when the stripers would run. Especially if you surfed off of a jetty.
Funny mostly.

Yeah, I was there yesterday with Antman. The surprising thing was the dude didn't even bother to look behind him when preparing to cast. This is equivalent to a major KOOK maneuver in fishing. I was yelling at the dude too, and I've been caught in a line before, at OB of all places on a very small day a few years ago. Fucking fishermen kooks!

Don't shit in your own bed Spiderman.

there is no way you're going to get me, even with one of my crew, to fight some chumash guy.

wuz up around that way last weekend. Fun mellow rights at the creek. Good food and good fun.... Peoplear pretty chill around that ways

Where can I find more information about the fight? Is there a website?

...testing

we're so on this. we're training right now. can we go 3 on 1 though, and can we wear our own Diesel headgear?

We were the Muwekma Ohlone tribe not Chumash pale face

I know you molusk boys probably don't really give a shit, but this guy here Dean Karnazes is one of the most highly regarded surfers/windsurfers to come out of SF:

Here he is practicing running this hamster wheel thingy for a jaunt from Catalina to Newport (the OC).

This guy used to be more famous in the windsurf world in the 90's but now is all into ultra running. He ran 262 miles non stop from Calistoga to Santa Cruz not too long ago. The guy still surfs often and you may catch him at OB on the hamster wheel someday.

Karnazes may be an amazing athlete but your statement that he "...is one of the most highly regarded surfers...to come out of SF" is ludicrous Bret.

by all accounts you're also one of the most shameless self-promoters Dean...I mean Brett.

my two black bear hamsters could take him

SUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i wasn't to enamored by the surf today . . .

How was the surf in bodega bay today? Were they winds lighter up there? You probably scored better than staying at home. Road trips rock...

I am thinking camping up there next weekend with some friends in gualala. Anyone ever stay up there?

i surfed doran today and had a great session. sun burned and roasted. :)

Doran Beach! \m/

huh?

I won't go anywhere near the place without tons of bird repellent.

The swell made it in there? How big was it?

Doran never has and never will break that good. I was simply attempting to create an image of perfection so that perhaps my mind will be at rest from the fucked up shit thats happened.

how can we help?
