Bull riding has been a rodeo sport since the 1800s, when cowboys from different ranches in North America began competing against each other in various ranch tasks. Rodeos soon became popular spectator sports, as audiences were given a chance to see cowboys fighting to stay on top of an angry bull. The sport is now run by the Professional Bull Riders, which hold several events including a World Championship every year.Bull Riding - The Basics 2n6r46

A strong bull rider needs to have balance, flexibility and quick reflexes to hang on for eight seconds and to respond to the different bucking styles of each bull. While every rider is trying as hard as they can to stay on, every bull is trying as hard as they can to toss the rider to the ground. Some bulls dart to the left and to the right while other bulls will spin continuously in one spot in the ring. Some bulls will also add some jumps and kicks to their spins in an effort to get rid of the rider. Getting thrown to the ground by the bull be injured or even killed by getting gored by the bull's horns or being stomped on. That's why bull riding also requires a good dose of mental strength and courage.Bull Riding - Did You Know? 3g454t
