Dusty Tuckness: ‘I Don’t Want to Be Mediocre, I Want to Come Back Firing’

Bullfighter Dusty Tuckness recently shared his progress on social media after being cleared to run and jump again following two surgeries on his left leg.

Tuckness says right now, he feels good, but he still needs to fine tune some of the little things that made him a 10-time PRCA Bullfighter of the Year.

“Just all of the little things we break down from how we step, how we turn, how we cut, from our hip mobility to our core to our ankle to our knee, there’s just a lot of things that if you know what you’re looking for and understand the anatomy of the body and the functionality of what we want to do and get done in that arena, there’s just some minor things,” he said. “I feel like I could get around good enough to do an alright job, but at the end of the day, I don’t want just to be mediocre, I want to come back firing.”
