Rodeo 101
Bull Riding


Bull Riding is the most dangerous and perhaps the most popular of rodeo sports. Cowboys use a thickly braided rope with an attached cowbell that applies weight and allows the rope to fall off safely from the bull at the ride's end. A sticky rosin is used on the rope to increase the cowboy's grip on it. The bull rope wraps around the bull, and the rider wraps the remainder of it around his hand, which secures him to the bull.

Eight seconds on a ton of bucking red meat requires enormous courage and mental and physical preparation to stay balanced, flexible, and coordinated. A score in the 90's is considered good.

The whole event demonstrates the dynamics of courage, from the cowboys to the bullfighters or rodeo clown and barrel men who assist in the cowboys safe escape after the ride. While their comical antics entertain the crowds, these are the men a cowboy depends on when he's in trouble. Their cowboy-saving techniques combine shear courage, great agility, and flawless ability.
