Back Drag: I was an accomplished trick rider in my youth and tried a crazy stunt with my ankles strapped to the back of the saddle while dangling behind the back of a galloping horse. I was nervous at first as I coaxed my horse to a full gallop. I threw myself back, rocks flying, wind in my ears, my head and hands now dragging within reach of the ground. After rounding the corner of the arena at full speed, my horse abruptly stopped, throwing me off to fall flat on my face in the mud. “Back Drag” was named after, and musically depicts that insane stunt I once attempted for the first and last time.
