There aren't many sports where surviving for eight seconds is considered a success, but professional bull riding isn't your usual rough-and-tumble.
The global rise of western dramas like Yellowstone and 1883 has a growing legion of fans turning to rodeo sports for a new source of entertainment.
Bull riding is considered the most dangerous of them all: A potentially lethal dance between a cowboy and a 1,000 kilogram animal that's been specifically designed to toss them off.
But what exactly makes a bull buck?

Asking the bull is wild lmfaoo
I was under the misconception. This is very cool how the are trained.
so was i
Its bullshit........ Show me a bucking bull without a flank strap
@@Crazy--Clownthat's a dog without a leash, except in this case adding the leash tells the bull to buck when the riders weight is added, and removing the leash tells the bull to stop. So like the video saya, this bull wears a leash for very short periods of time throughout its life, and spend most of its time enjoying the earth life.
@@onelawforallexcept no. If that were the case the bull would continue to buck until the flank strap is taken off. But the bull stops once the rider is off, so by that logic the bull doesn’t need the flank strap because the bull only bucks when the rider is on. The flank strap probably does nothing but add incentive and for some backyard rodeos, a way for their bulls to buck.
@@onelawforallthing is tho I don’t get broncos. Broncos only buck when the flank strap is on. So once it’s taken off they stop. That is because the flank strap on broncos are tight and only give release when they buck. That’s the difference bull riding is okay bucking broncos are not. And it’s abuse.
The bucking strap
Appreciated ❤
Most bulls…luv to ….buck….it’s not really a ball busting experience for them….and that’s no bucking bull about it. 😂
Ok, so please someone point out to me on any field or farm or any natural environment where bulls are ment to live do they see them bucking for the sheer fun of it. Bulls aren't naturally aggressive, but they can be subjected to physical and psychological abuse before rodeos that can make them angry and fearful. These abuses include:
Physical abuse:
Bulls can be shocked with electric prodders, jabbed with spurs, kicked, hit, have their tails twisted and pulled, and have fingers shoved up their nose.
Psychological abuse:
Bulls are often transported long distances in hot and overcrowded trucks and trailers, and are kept in unnatural settings away from their herd. Before their event, they are forced into a chute, where they are isolated from the other bulls. (Note the chute that you see every bull released from at the start of all rodeos)
These abuses can cause bulls to buck wildly when they leave the chutes, which is intended to make the cowboys look brave. However, bulls can also exhibit aggressive behavior due to a mix of breeding and environment, and even "nice" bulls that were bottle-fed as calves can get more aggressive with age.
Also she states that they don't tie there testicals, but look in the video, that rope looks awfully close to the bulls testicles I would buck too if something was that close to my nards. Buck straps are not natural. I get the point of them but it's just a cruel sport in general not to mention the safety of the riders go out the window which I know it's what they signed up for but it doesn't make it any less unsafe.
Cry baby
Fear and stress
Anyone who actually believes a blatant lie like - a piece of rope around a bulls waist stops them from twisting and turning must be brain dead imo
Straight from RSPCA Au website
"Based on observed behaviour, the evidence indicates that bull riding is a stressful, frightening experience for the bull: there is no evidence that the bulls ‘enjoy’ the experience.
Bulls, as well as rodeo horses, buck repeatedly as an instinctive reaction to being kicked with spurs and to the tightened flank strap around their sensitive underbelly. Cattle are prey animals and their reaction to being ridden in this way is the same as their reaction to being attacked by a predator, a situation where they experience increased fear, stress and panic. The ‘fight-or-flight’ response is a survival instinct which the animal is unable to consciously control."
"A flank strap is tightened on each bull just prior to release from the chute. It applies pressure to the sensitive underbelly causing discomfort and possibly pain in order to make animals buck more violently."
Shame on ABC Australia for this misleading review of what goes on in bull riding
All that yapping could be immediately disqualified by jumping on a wild bulls back and seeing if he bucks lol
There is no way a good bull only bucks for 3 minutes before he is retired. They are also used a ton in training not just competitions.
And they buck for fun in the field, too.
Seems like they are pissed off and don't want a person on their back.
So, if we're talking about cruel, do the bulls want someone on their back? Because if the answer is no....
That’s like putting a teacup chihuahua on a persons back tho. It might be annoying but is it cruel to the person or is it the chihuaha who ends up being flung in the air and injured?
@BB-ed4om it's not the same because we bred chihuahuas into existence and understand what we would be doing putting them on our backs.
Bulls don't have a concept in their mind for human entertainment. That combined with all the extra stimuli from the show with lights , noise and smells. So that comparison is really strange.
Yeah i don't have any sympathy for humans getting injured in this, it's completely self inflicted
Good to know. Went to rodeo yesterday and did wonder....
let's put it this way -- riders are "light enough" to the bull that they get thrown up to 10' in the air.
(sorry --- 3 meters)
What happens to the bulls when they retire?
I doubt that PETA would agree with her.
Why dont they buck un the gate?
Most of these bulls are quite smart. They are trained and know when they need to perform and that is when the gate is opened.
No room
I’ve seen a few videos of bulls bucking in the gate jb mauney had this happen to him and it’s really dangerous n scary when this happens😢
So you want to be a bucking bull in your next life? Dey playyy.
1:23 where they can win more money.
Bulls don’t gaf about money.
If their health was your "number one priority" you wouldnt be scaring them and tying them and riding them in front if a jeering crowd. They buck because they want the riders off their back.
This is without a doubt officially the stupidest most nonsensical “sport” ever invented.
1:37 What about the rider? Shouldn't that be your most important concern?
no
No stuff the rider, they are aware of the risks
No
It is just cruel say no more.
isnt cruel, ur just a damn sook. dont eat a steak then.
I used to think so, but not anymore. It seems the bulls like doing their job. The bulls are treated better then the riders. The flank strap is there to make sure they buck straight and don't let them or the rider get hurt.
I have to agree.
I know she said it gets taken off right away afterwards, but she didn't say it was after each ride, or after the show is over?
I can understand the show breeding them when the discover the ones that have characteristics that tend towards bucking, but I just find it a stretch to say that the bulls like it.
I doubt any male of any species who has exposed ballz, would "like" going through that process... 😂
So basically these animals are just bred to exploit for our entertainment. Like, why can’t humans just let animals live their life. It’s not just about the bucking. It’s about the whole lifestyle. Getting toted around place to place, night after night. The noise and pure STRESS of it all. I’ve watched other videos that show prods, and rope burning being used. It’s all abuse.
The bulls work once a night. The flank strap is placed in the bucking chute, just tightly enough to stay put. The bull bucks, leaves the arena, and the flank strap is removed immediately. Then the bull jeads back to the corrals and kicks back again.
