Bull
Riding is the original extreme sport and has been referred to as "the
most desperate 8 seconds in sports". A lot can happen in just 8 seconds
on top of a bucking bull. These cowboys learn to keep a cool mind as
well as an athletic and agile body as they constantly fine tune and
adjust their riding to the bulls style of bucking. Xtreme sports
bicyclers and skateboarders may have to worry about breaking bones in
falls, but bull riders not only fall - they have to get moving again
quickly - for there is always the possibility the bull is going to go
after them once they are on the ground.
Bull riding is as almost as exciting to watch as it is to participate in and is one of the number one spectator sports in America
