Bull+Riding



One of the most dangerous rodeo events. A rider tries to stay on the back of a huge, bucking bull for at least eight seconds. Many riders cannot do this. A very scary time is right after the bull has thrown the rider ---he must get out of the way of the bull's hooves and horns. Rodeo clowns help him do this. Some riders wear regular cowboy hats, other wear football style helmets for protection.
