but I'd give it all up in a heartbeat, for that eight second ride.β


Gonna soften the blow
Soften the blow
And give it up
I saw the surprise
The look in your eyes
I gave it up
Gonna be who I am
Be who I am
And give it up
Off in the night, while you
Live it up, I'm off to sleep
Waging wars to shape the
Poet and the beat
I hope it's gonna
make you notice
I hope it's gonna
Make you notice
Someone like me

The Basics
βRiding is my life. You'll never understand until you live this life.β

||Religious Background||
Athiest.
||Personality||
Dustin is the definition of your all American country boy. He's a restless spirit when it comes to riding bulls. He's going to win no matter the price and he'd rather be in the shoot letting his body fill with adrenaline, then having sex with some girl. he'll be the first to tell you the being a cowboy was what he was born to be and riding bulls is his sex and his first love. He's already come to terms with the fact that he's going to die doing what he love and every time he climbs on the back of another steer he's staring death in the eyes.
He's as stubborn as it gets, he pushes himself to far sometimes and he's way to hard on himself. Deep down he honestly just wants to make his dad proud, but it seems like no matter what he does his dad doesn't even give him a little credit. So, he pushes himself harder. He's an alcoholic with a raging temper when of piss him off. You better stay out of his way when he's upset, the only person who really isn't afraid o his temper is his sister and he's regrettable hit her before. Yet, she didn't stand down.
He's a hard ass, rough around the edges and he's got a gypsy's soul. Girl give up on him, when they realize that he's too selfish to put them before riding. However, any girl he's ever been with will tell you he's the best lover and it's a shame that things didn't work out. He's a passionate person, it's just who he is. He doesn't give up, giving up for him isn't an option.
He's protective of those he loves, especially his little sister. She's probably the only person that he's selfless for, he once gave up a title so a boyfriend would break up with her. He's run off her boyfriend, he just doesn't want his sister getting hurt the way he's been hurt in the past.
Deep down he's really a good guy, he was just breed to be a cowboy and that's exactly what he is. There is no changing him, he is who he is.

||History||
Dustin was the fist born to America's favorite bull rider. Angus was proud and ecstatic when his son was born. He insisted his wife travel with him and although it was hard, they made it work. It was all too clear that Angus Avery was in love with his wife and his son. He showed them off every time he got the chance. However, life changed drastically two years after his little sister was born, his father was severally injured, ending his short career. However, the obsession of bull riding had already been ingrained in a six year old Dustin. His father taught him how to ride on baby cows and by the time he was eleven he'd started competing himself despite his mother's word.
However, when he got into his teens he started hanging out with the wrong crowed. Drinking, partying, and getting arrested. He was a heartthrob with the ladies, that was when he meet Lyndon Carter, his high school sweetheart. They did everything together, they were inseparable, however they fought I was dangerous. She didn't want him following his dad, eventually there relationship ended after two year, because he'd been drinking and the two had gotten into a car accident. He walked away without a scratch, she was killed on impact because of him.
However, his father had managed to get him out of the charges because he was only sixteen. In return he was on house arrest for six month and served community service for another six months after. During this time his little sister was going through cancer, being treated and given a time limit on her life. He stayed away from the hospital because he couldn't handle it. He knew it was wrong but he couldn't help it.
When he was eighteen, his mother died in a car accident and his sister was badly injured. The Avery family had been through so much shit, but Dustin refused to let in bring down his family and he took care of his sister after the accident and their drunk father. After his sister was healed he got back into the rodeo and bull riding, he was natural, like his father.
Now at twenty three him and his sister run a summer camp at their families ranch. His sister plays the role of peace keeper between him and his father, while she also is his biggest supporter. He's developed quite the temper and he's started dating (If you could call it that) Lyndon's younger sister Katie. To most people it would appear that cold and heartless, that's not far from the truth. He blames himself for Lyndon's death and regrets not being there when his sister was sick. There are a lot of things that he regrets and you can see it all over him. However, he throws himself head first into riding, because it's what he loves and all he wants to do and it helps him forget.
