The PBR (Professional Bull Riders) Built Ford Tough series seemed like an out-of-the-ordinary thing to go see, so I decided I should check it out.

The riders are friggin' insane. It was pretty amazing to watch. Turns out that it's not very easy to stay on one of those bucking monsters.

Here's a quick clip from amongst those that I gathered today. I've left it full quality, so you can download and watch large.

    I've heard of people having their pinky finger ripped off bull riding. Heard of it when I was 8ish. Made me never want to try it.

    One of the guys got hurt bad enough that they had to haul him off to the hospital. His face/head smashed into the bull's hump. After he got bucked off, he lay on the ground twitching while they were assessing him and trying to get the stretcher under him. It was amazing how quiet the place got. They updated us later that he was conscious and doing well at the hospital. I have the footage of his ride.

    Weird how they got all quiet when someone got hurt, I mean - that IS why they all came, right? To see some idiot become a vegetable?

    It's the same reason people go to the drags. The hope that one of them will go up in a ball of flames.

    You're thinking of NASCAR (and the drags, like you said). :) Without all the crashes and possibility of death, it would just be watching a bunch of guys making left turns at high speeds.

    I think the draw of the bull riding is to see if these guys can strap themselves to the back of a monster and hold on for "long enough" (current 8 seconds). Most of the riders we saw didn't stay on long enough.

    An uncle of mine was a rodeo clown way back when. Hmmm, I think being a rodeo clown is probably much safer and rewarding. I have trouble watching the rodeo on TV, freaks me out.

    There was so much advertising and marketing at this thing that I actually felt a little slimey afterwards and longed for the relatively ad-free environment of television....yeah....it was THAT bad.

    I'm glad you included a clip of someone getting to 8 secongs. I've been to probably a dozen rodeos and you're right, not many are ridden for the full time. Cody, Wyoming was my favorite. Get 'er done.
  • trp0 2 years ago
    Definitely a rarity. These guys are nuts!
