A GOOD EXAMPLE FOR YOU TO RECONSIDER BULL RIDING

I’ve always been impressed with the men and women that jump on a bull or horse and ride them in a riding contest. They have to be brave, strong, and a bit on the crazy side to do that. A very heavy and powerful animal doing its best to get them off of them by bucking and kicking can easily injure a rider or even kill them if the animal gets annoyed enough. My dad loved watching rodeo and I would watch along from time to time. I’ve seen plenty of rides and video go the wrong way quickly with riders getting their hand stuck in the grip, bulls trying to maul the rider, and horses taking a powerful kick at them. This recent video making the rounds is a new one. The bull is let out of the chute and immediately goes vertical and slams the rider up against the front post of the chute. Surprisingly neither of them seem to be hurt, but it’s the strangest ride I’ve ever seen. It’s almost like the bull knew exactly how to scratch that itch off his back.
