its more a western thing, or a rural thing. I actually have a rodeo at the county fairgrounds here every year in pennsylvania. but like tractor pulls, its more a rural thing. but you will see more of them in places like texas, wyoming, oklahoma... places with cattle ranching history. I 'm half convinced that it started because some cowboys were bored.
My brother-in-law was a bull rider, he quit after he married my sister, he said it wasn’t fair to put her and their future children through the stress and possibility of losing his life. Lane Frost was his cousin. FYI, to call it a “ride” you have to ride the full 8 seconds and then you are given a score. Half of the rider's score depends on the performance of the bull and how difficult he is to ride. The other half is scored on the rider's ability to stay balanced on the bull and coordinate with the bull's movements. The rider and the bull are randomly matched before the competition. Higher-ranking riders are allowed to choose their bull but that can depend on where the competition/rodeo is held and the judges.
@@jodeeps2287 bull riding definitely takes a certain breed of person it's no joke. I was just thinking about it earlier about the times they get to choose their bull alot of them pick one they know they can ride but JB Mauney kept picking Bushwacker and he finally conquered him. The JB v Bushwacker reminded me of Lane v Red Rock if I remember right when Lane rode him the full 8 seconds he was the first to ever ride the 8 and it was actually like 9.63 seconds officially, and ended Red Rocks unridable streak of 311 attempts. That bull was definitely a powerhouse and had a good career
@@shariann2723 Yes, bull riding takes a rare breed of people. Redrock was amazing and fearless. I was shocked and surprised that Lane was killed by Takin’ Care of Business, I had always thought if any bull was going to end Lane’s life it would have been Redrock. Thank you for your comment.
My husband rode bulls. Not the big money circuit. He broke his back, his collarbone, his arm and he had collapsed lung. He saw what happened to Lane Frost and walked away. Some things aren't worth dying for.
A number of years back I worked a bar with another young gentleman bartender from Minnesota. He told me the rodeo was like a family business, all the young men participated from an early age. He told me there were two ways out of it, getting badly injured, or what he did, which was to join the Marines. For safety! He said he had a lot of sprains and breaks, in the rodeo. The Marines was fine.
Rodeo, including bull riding, is more of a western thing than a southern thing. It is based on "cowboy culture" rather than location. For example, look at a map and Texas looks southern, but it has western culture and is never considered to be part of "the south." Montana is totally north but the culture is western cowboy every bit as much as in Texas. The western leaning cowboy culture is based on the fact that big cattle ranches are in the western states. You can't have a strong cowboy culture without cattle.
Texas is considered part of the South. It joined the Confederacy during the Civil War and fought gallantly. It is definitely The south, and very proud to be so, including southern cooking.
@@aidenjosiah9398 That is why I said based on culture rather than location. Even Maine has rodeos and they are very far east. Cowboy culture lives throughout our country.
The southern states have a long cattle production tradition. The coastal plains are capable of supporting as many as 3 per acre. The derogratory term "cracker' originally was a term for southern cowboys.
I've always loved watching PBR (Professional Bull Riding) since I was a kid. I took my daughter to a couple of local rodeos as she was growing up. My daughter is 29 and an EMT for 2 different ambulance services. One service that she works for does stand-by for the local amateur rodeo (The Manawa Rodeo in Wisconsin) and my daughter will always work during the 3 day event. Unfortunately this last July the rodeo was canceled due to the town's dam breaking. The rodeo crew stayed behind and helped with evacuations of people and animals. They also donated food and water to those who were displaced since the rodeo vendors wouldn't be selling it at the rodeo. People in the rodeo circuits are very close (like family) and their animals are extremely well taken care of and loved despite what some believe.
The bravest thing in PBR I ever saw was when Tuff Hedeman refused to get back on Bodacious in the Championship after the crushed face he got a year before. He had promised his young son to not get on him again. These guys are something.
My best memory of Tuff was is memorial ride for Lane Frost. Best tear jerker moment in history and his promise to Lane to win the championship that yr.
Lane Frost is legendary and will always be remembered and well known for the mark he left on the sport. The movie is worth watching too. Along with Lane and his impact on the sport Tuff Hedeman and his ride for Lane is legendary and stirs up emotions. 8 seconds on a bull seems alot longer for the rider and once they knew Tuff was not hung up he rode his 8 seconds and was riding for Lane that hits the feelings different even Tuff said its the only time he got off a bull with tears going.
What you are missing is that working with cattle or horses is not a hobby or even a job; it is a way of life. I'm 76. I had to retire 7 years ago and no longer having cattle in my barn has become a form of torture. I even miss being awaken during the night by neighbors because some curious steer or cow has decide to play in the road terrifying drivers and blocking traffic.
Yes it hurts, i was living on/working on a ranch for a few years when my father was sent to hospital and I had to return home. I still haven’t returned out west and it hurts every day
I grew up working with bulls. I haven't farmed ranched in 20 years. And considered getting back into it. Im in great shape at 45, but I don't think I have it in me at this point. Too much to try to remember.
Adam, I had a cousin that was a bull rider. Chris LeDoux, he held records and championships. When he retired he went on to become a country music star. Cadillac Ranch was his biggest hit in the 90’s.
Your cousin was Chris LeDoux? That is awesome! I thought he was a bronc rider. I guess I'm remembering wrong. Lol, I loved that man! Cadillac Ranch was just one of his amazing songs! ❤❤❤❤
Montana, and nevada, the dakotas, and the south. Really almost everywhere. I grew up watching my grandpa, my uncles, my cousins. My family grew up on horses with bulls and cattle. Look up the 4 and 5 year old kids who ride sheep. There are teens that bronco ride. We start young.
My last ride I woke up in the hospital and after 7 surgery's and a few years of physical therapy I can walk but I do have days I just want to stay in bed. And you only stay on for 8 seconds but it feels like you road for an hour. And yes you can make thousands of dollars if you win. But for us it not about the money it's about trying to conquer something that is unrideable.
*NO, NOT A SOUTHERN THING!* (lol, Geeeze, the south always gets the credit!) This video states that Chris Shivers' devastating ride happened in BOISE, IDAHO (my home state)! Yes, there actually ARE other areas of the USA than Texas and the south. 😅
My husband use to ride bulls in high-school, and while he was in the Marines. While in the military he got stomped on by a bull. He ended up with two compressed vertebra. The is now in his 50s and there are things that really bothers it. That life is really crazy. You have to be a wee bit crazy to do this.
I was trained when I was young for it. They use to start us off on a barrel. The barrel would be laid on its side and have 4 ropes attached to it, 2 on one end and 2 on the other. It would then be elevated off the ground and each rope tied to a tree or post. You would then get on the barrel and grab the rope they tied around it like the rope around a bull to hold on while 4 men would manipulate the ropes causing a bucking motion and side to side action! I was 9 years old, I think when I started but I chose calf roping lol.
I remember this. I fell off, but my fingers were caught in the rope. I nearly lost the top of my middle finger to torque. 9 stitches to put it back on. I went back to barrel racing.😊
I ride bulls and have for about 20 years. You don’t want to be a big guy. The smaller guys have always rode better because of centrifugal force pulling you off.
Back in 2004, at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo, there was a night of college kids riding where one of the guys had to be carried out on a stretcher after getting his hand hung up in the rope and dragged around until he was raked off by the railing that surrounded the arena. Never heard how that turned out for that young man. I know that it didn't look good. I'm pretty sure it was his head eck that caught the railing! It's one hell of a sport to watch! I can only imagine what it's like to ride. Mad respect for all that ride and have rode!
California's central valley has a lot of small towns that have local rodeo events. Some community colleges and State universities have rodeo teams that compete against other colleges and universities with rodeo teams nationwide.
26:33 the owners of the bull retired the bull and JB knew the owners and told them to send the bull to his ranch quoting “ that bull retired me now he can retire with me”.
A full bull ride is 8 seconds. If available to you a movie to watch is 8 Seconds which is the life story of Lane Frost. He was a champion rider that was killed by a bull in Cheyenne Wyoming in 1989. My little grandson wanted to ride bulls when he was little . At almost five years old he started riding calves in rodeos and then when he was five he began riding steers. He weighed 52 pounds and was riding 600 pound steers .
Bull riding and really any rodeo event is popular anywhere there is a farming community where you'll find horses and cattle. That can be found in the south but also places like Wyoming, Montana, Oklahoma and Idaho. Some riders even come from Australia and Brazil and one of the largest rodeos in North America takes place in Calgary, Canada.
California's central valley has a lot of small towns that have local rodeo events. Towns up in northern California have them as well. Some California community colleges have rodeo teams that compete against other colleges and universities with rodeo teams nationwide.
JB bought Artic Assassin because they were going to retire him anyways and he wanted to own the bull so that he could retire the bull that retired him.
I'm 71 now and a good friend of mine growing up rode bulls in high school and earned a bull riding scholarship to college. I was at a lot of the rodeos when he competed and before he crawled onto a bull he would puke. He was literally so nervous and scared that he would throw up every time. But he did it anyway. Any time I thought I was tough I would think about Sammy crawling on those bulls although he was scared sick each time. Those guys are a different breed.
Dude I remember watching the Chris shivers situation. I was a little boy and my father and I were just watching TV. I forget the station at the time but it was insane. My dad covered my eyes and all I heard him say was holy shit in Spanish 😂.
I’m 78 and I’m subscribed!!! Florida born and raised, though my dad was Air Force and I changed schools 13x. I started school in Tallahassee and graduated there, too. The same high school as my mom, 2 sisters, 7 cousins. 8 years ago I relocated to Oregon, from Florida after my mom died at 91 years and 4 days. You are always amazed by the distance we travel in the USA, 2852.4 miles.
It’s not just a hobby. It’s a lifestyle and passion. You fall in love with it without even realizing it. Although these animals can be dangerous they are the most beautiful creatures. And most of the bulls are big lovers once they get out of the arena
It is tied around the bull's flank. Contrary to popular belief, the flank strap is not tied around the bull's testicles. This rope is to encourage the bull to use his hind legs more in a bucking motion
It's thrilling and awe inspiring to be in the arena to see these shows. My son is on his way to see a PBR show tonight for his birthday. I go every chance I get.
@@StacyBaldwin-qv5cj yeah, it was the way he'd jump and get the rider rocked back and then slamming them down on his shoulder hump was what I remember being the most dangerous thing about him. Wasn't that the reason he was retired?
I rode a bull in 1996 at a rodeo in Vancouver Washington. 1 ride 6.32 seconds. Nothing bad happened, but I was like, "Never Again" It's so much more violent than it looks, and hurts parts of your body you didn't know you had. You take me to an arena, put me on a horse, and I'll Cowboy Up any day, but bulls, nope nope nope. 😂
Really surprised they didn't cover the better known wrecks. The goal is to stay on the bull for 8 seconds, holding on with only one hand. You can't use your second hand at all. The bull gets a score and the rider gets a score. Despite what the commentator said, the bulls are not wild, they are born in captivity. They also don't have malice, they simply want to be left alone to do bull stuff. Instead, they are brought into an arena with thousands of people, bright lights, and loud speakers to have a person strapped to them and a flank strap pulled across the most sensitive part of their body, not to mention the spurs used to dig into their flesh from the shoulder to their flanks. They simply want to get out of the situation they have been put in.
My uncle was big in the rodeo circuit, and I would spend my summers clowning for him while he was training. I never rode a bull, but I bulldogged my first one when I was 13.
I have done a lot of crazy stuff in my life, but I have never been crazy enough to try riding a bull. You have to be a special kind of crazy to do that. I do enjoy watching and have a lot of respect for bull riders they earn every penny they make that is for sure.
Country singer Tim McGraw did a great song called LIVE LIKE YOU WERE DYING, it’s about a man receiving devastating medical news. He mentioned riding a bull named Fu Manchu on his bucket list.
My dad was a bullrider, and I remember that he retired early due to the many injuries he had received. Injuries from concussions to broken ribs, loss of hearing in his right ear, dentures, crushed cheekbone, etc. But he said he would do it all over again if he could.
Lane Frost the guy they mentioned as to why they had safety equipment was the subject of a movie “8 seconds”. After he was thrown the bull stomped on his groin.
I was at at local rodeo in the 1970's. A bull rider got gored through the neck. Somehow it missed all the important pieces. The cowboy was at the rodeo the next night.
I used to watch bull riding growing up and it’s crazy that it was fine and normal to do during rodeo season… especially for little kids.. One of my friends had a major injury during amateur riding… from it he got scars and became partially blind in one eye. The last I heard he still gets on the backs of bulls. I truly don’t understand why.
I once went to a senior pro rodeo. There were calf ropers as old as 72, but the oldest bull riders were only 55. I wondered if perhaps bull riders don't live any longer than that. I'm happy to say that Richard Hedeman is still alive at the age of 60, but then he retired from bull riding when he was only 35. One of my co-workers went to bull riding school on leave from the Navy, but he concluded that he wasn't coordinated enough for the sport. I think he's too large a man for it. He's over 200 lbs., so he'd be better suited for steer-wrestling, though that requires considerably more capital investment. Small men tend to do a lot better at bull riding than large men. I'm not sure all the physics behind it, but statistically that's the case.
My Union Brother Ricky Barns was a Pro Bull Rider before becoming a Union Boilermaker, and he had broke his back bull riding. He was even in one of those “And He Walked Away” Videos. Sadly he was killed in a truck wreck a few years ago he was a badass
17:16 to the cowboy or anyone else who Loves riding horses, not being able to ride a horse is worse than not being able to breathe so I reckon You’d have to be a Rider to understand and I’m thinking You ain’t never Riddin on a Horse 🥰
I'm 67 y.o. Since I was young, horses have been my mental health and in the last 20 years, my reason for living. I've always told my doctors the moment they say no horses or riding, just put me on my horse and blue juice me. This last year, I've had too many injuries and surgeries, (not from the horses) nearly died given a 2% chance of surviving and all I could do was watch them from my bed. The docs now say, 'remember your goal to get well enough to ride again'.🤠
It is mainly a South West thing. From Florida to California and up the Rocky Mountain states into Canada. wiki: American rodeo, particularly popular today throughout the western United States, and in the Canadian province of Alberta, is the official state sport of Wyoming, South Dakota, and Texas.
Living in Oklahoma, I've been to a few rodeos. Bull riding events were usually held at the end. I only stayed for the event one time, it was just too violent for me.
I grew up in a cowboy family ( I'm the rebel boho/punkish outcast) My cousins son lacerated his liver and bruised several organs in a bull riding wreck. As soon as he recovered he was back to it. Now he breeds riding stock. As a Canadian I can tell you it isn't a southern states thing, cowboy culture doesn't have boundaries really. They're all crazy, and tough as hell.
We used to ride bulls where I'm from (California) on random farms. Never actual bucking bulls though. That was the most fun I've ever had being scared to death.
From $15k to $35k that's the minimum range of profit returns every month its not a bad one for me.. As a beginner, it's essential for you to have a mentor to keep your accountable...
I thank God that my son quit bull riding at 14 after getting kicked in the head and needing 13 staples in his scalp on top of a concussion. He rode one more bull after he recovered just to show he wasn't afraid then he quit fir good. His younger cousin finally quit a few years later.
I wanted to ride bulls when I was little. I always admired cowboys like Chris Shivers. Now, while I have a big respect for the sport of rodeo, you couldn’t pay me enough to climb on the back of one of those bulls.
There are Rodeos with bull riding all over the US, but the biggest ones are in "cowboy country"- or where there are ranches and cattle. Rodeos have all sorts of events including little kids riding sheep called muttin busting. Bull riding is the biggest event but there are many other categories which are fun to watch. These bulls are actually raised for this and the big, bad boys are worth A LOT of money. There are bulls from many years ago and their names are still remembered. Bodacious is one. The last Rodeo that I attended was in New Jersey. Certainly, not cowboy country!
I lived in Calgary Alberta from 20 yrs old to 30 yrs old - back in the 80’s. (Now I’m in British Columbia’s Okanagan Valley) My 2 daughters were born there. I went to the Stampede every year! For 7 of those yrs I rode amateur saddle bronc in local rodeo’s. I’ve met boxers and MMA guys - the TOUGHEST men I’ve EVER met, are cowboys! Peace
Bull riding is all over the Southwestern and Western US and up into Canada. One of the largest rodeos in the World is The Calgary Stampede in Calgary, Alberta. Glen Keeley, the rider who died was from Alberta
They give both the rider and the bull scores. The more the bull bucks, turns etc the higher the score. The same with the rider. The time on the bull is also in the score. The rider's goal is to stay on the bull for 8 sec.The judges then award the score for the ride.
Clovis CA rodeo gets riders from all over. Best friends stepdad announces for this side of the Mississippi….. don’t trip bull riders know it’s stupid. Don’t expect them to stop. Check out any video on rodeo clowns saving riders lives. Those dudes are a different breed. They stand in between a fallen rider and a bull. A lot of pictures of clowns having their fingers on the head of a charging bull.
What makes a good bull fighter is that you have to be in it for the right reason. If your only in it for fame, glory, or money then someone will get hurt. More than likely it will be the bull rider. You have to truly want to protect the bull riders just like a fire man wants protect someone from a fire.
My daughter and I go to a PBR event every year when they come to our area. It is so much better live than watching on TV. The crowd is soooo loud and pumped unless a rider gets hurt, then you can hear a pin drop in the arena until they get up and walk away or are taken out on a stretcher.
Awww, I LOVE that he bought Arctic Assassin, and provided him a calm, happy life where he is protected and can just live as he is meant to live. What an exquisite soul that rider has to have done such a beautiful thing.
I was watching a team bull riding competition a couple weeks ago. One of the bulls bucked and flipped over backwards on top of the rider while they were still in the chute. These guys have some serious balls of steel.
I’m a bull rider and have been for 5 Years since I was 8 and it really isn’t as dangerous as you think if you know what. You are doing it not that dangerous
Bull riding has a different amount of popularity in different areas of the country. It's most popular in the south and southwest. The tour goes to just about every region of the country, from California to New Hampshire. I saw a rider die in an event in 1992 or 1993 at a local event. He got hung up as he was thrown from the bull and was dragged and stomped for more than two minutes before they could get him freed. His hand was stuck in the rope and he was dragged against the fence and all over the arena.
One of the bulls shown in this video, Takin' Care of Business, is the bull that caused Lane Frost's death. Lane's life was so inspirational that it was made into a movie, "8 Seconds", starring Luke Perry. Perry went through all of the training required for professional bull riders. Lane Frost's friends and family said watching Perry was eerie, and that he seemed to embody Lane's spirit. Even after the movie was released Luke Perry continued to ride and was a regular on the circuit. I own the DVD of "8 Seconds" but have been able to watch it only once.....
I remember Tuff trying to ride that bull. Bodacious was a nasty but smart bull. He'd throw his head up just as the cowboy was being pulled down towards his head. From what happened to Tuff and other cowboys, there was talk that the bull was too dangerous, and they retired Bodacious early so no one else got hurt or possibly killed.
I remember bodacious. He was smart and mean. I remember hearing riders started wearing face protection because he liked to get them leaning forward then bring his head up to bash them in the face.
I hope this makes you feel better.. I watched 3 or 4 videos of yours and sub'd, I always watch that many to make sure but you were too funny not to.. that was about 4 months ago after you 1st came across my feed. I'm just not on Twitch but I'm here! I was the one who kept telling you that you needed to watch my Jolly boys 😁 ❤❤❤ love from Denver Colorado!!
If it hasn't been said, bulls buck because the rope behind the rider is squeezing the "tender vittles" of the bull. He is trying to get that off along with the rider. The thing is, the bulls know it is a sport. When they aren't in an arena, with that rope on, they are just a bull in a pasture. They get all the bovine tail they want if they are an especially good retired bucking bull. I may not be 100% correct on all but I am fairly sure I am close.
Bull riding is popular in the Western US and Throughout Canada. Several years ago I traveled up to Ontario to learn to ride a bull at the "Build A Cowboy" camp were you get to ride a live bull at the end of the week. Obviously, the bulls aren't as rough as the ones ridden in Pro Rodeo, but it was fun nonetheless.
@Kepi_Kei it's a flank strap that is placed over the bulls flank. Which is just the area in front of their hind legs. It just causes a tickle or minor irritation, like if you had a mosquito bite that keeps itching. It's not painful.
@@Kepi_Kei they know what they are doing. They know when to buck and when not to buck. The flank strap gives them that extra tickle. And with horses, they will get used to having a rider on their back and naturally buck less and less over time. The flank strap gives the bronco that extra feeling to keep bucking harder
Love seeing you reactI think we have alot of crazy activities lol I'd love to see you react to the best car flips in demolition derby and demolition derby stuff in general they are always fun my hubby used to drive in them and the guys that do work on their own cars they usually start off with toddlers doing power wheels demolition derby that's cute but shows how they start off but the real deal derby are so fun cars flipping, cats breaking through barrer walls, cars on fire it can get wild, do you have demolition derby where you are?
All your gonna ever earn is a boring life sitting in front of a screen all day, wishing you were able to do something you enjoyed for money, while still barely affording to live😂
Will let's see here fancy belt buckles I only have 3 and getting pickup trucks I bought my own need to stop watching fictional TV automotive companies sponsor the association not the cowboys and cowgirls

You should check out the movie "8 Seconds" man, it's about a bull rider named Lane Frost. You'd like it, albiet sad.
I agree check out 8 seconds I don't know who made the list for this video but they left out lane frost
Look up cowboy pinball
I agree that no hobby/career is more important than your life.
its more a western thing, or a rural thing. I actually have a rodeo at the county fairgrounds here every year in pennsylvania. but like tractor pulls, its more a rural thing. but you will see more of them in places like texas, wyoming, oklahoma... places with cattle ranching history. I 'm half convinced that it started because some cowboys were bored.
Given that #2 lost his life, I was surprised to see that Lane Frost wasn't #1. There was a movie made about him FFS.
@@Logan-ed4pu called 8 seconds
I'm surprised that Lane wasn't on this list. Especially when they brought up Cody Lambert for the vest

I worked at a Trauma hospital. Rodeo week always brought patients “bucked by horse”, “trampled by horse or bull” or “gored by bull”.
@@lindadeters8685 same
25 yrs ago when I was big into the Rodeo, they never had helmets even for bull riding, just cowboy hats.
Or flack vests
You can be grandfathered in also
Believe anyone born after 1993 is required to wear one.i don't like em. But bein born in 90 I can still wear my hat lol
PRCA still has helmets optional. I don’t know about PBR.
That's when I watched it too, I know u remember bodacious too then
My husband rode bulls. Not the big money circuit. He broke his back, his collarbone, his arm and he had collapsed lung. He saw what happened to Lane Frost and walked away. Some things aren't worth dying for.
Lane Frost died ridding a bull, and all he gets is a brief mention in this video? That's criminal.
Lane Frost was so gifted and so young. Probably one of the most charismatic and yet humble BRCs of all time. Still a ⭐️!😢
You should give the movie 8 seconds a look, it's the story of Lane Frost
A number of years back I worked a bar with another young gentleman bartender from Minnesota.
He told me the rodeo was like a family business, all the young men participated from an early age.
He told me there were two ways out of it, getting badly injured, or what he did, which was to join the Marines. For safety! He said he had a lot of sprains and breaks, in the rodeo. The Marines was fine.

There is also Calgary Alberta Canada. Which is 100% a Rodeo City/Town and has many who are truly invested in it. ✌️😊
When you're riding a literal ton of muscle and rage, you can't expect anything good to happen.
I've always loved watching PBR (Professional Bull Riding) since I was a kid. I took my daughter to a couple of local rodeos as she was growing up. My daughter is 29 and an EMT for 2 different ambulance services. One service that she works for does stand-by for the local amateur rodeo (The Manawa Rodeo in Wisconsin) and my daughter will always work during the 3 day event. Unfortunately this last July the rodeo was canceled due to the town's dam breaking. The rodeo crew stayed behind and helped with evacuations of people and animals. They also donated food and water to those who were displaced since the rodeo vendors wouldn't be selling it at the rodeo. People in the rodeo circuits are very close (like family) and their animals are extremely well taken care of and loved despite what some believe.
The bravest thing in PBR I ever saw was when Tuff Hedeman refused to get back on Bodacious in the Championship after the crushed face he got a year before. He had promised his young son to not get on him again. These guys are something.
Oh, Bodacious was something!
@@wolfe6220 I'm not certain but think he is the only bull retired to keep riders from getting killed.
@@Cashcrop54 Could be!
@@Cashcrop54 You are correct.
My best memory of Tuff was is memorial ride for Lane Frost. Best tear jerker moment in history and his promise to Lane to win the championship that yr.
Lane Frost is legendary and will always be remembered and well known for the mark he left on the sport. The movie is worth watching too. Along with Lane and his impact on the sport Tuff Hedeman and his ride for Lane is legendary and stirs up emotions. 8 seconds on a bull seems alot longer for the rider and once they knew Tuff was not hung up he rode his 8 seconds and was riding for Lane that hits the feelings different even Tuff said its the only time he got off a bull with tears going.
What you are missing is that working with cattle or horses is not a hobby or even a job; it is a way of life. I'm 76. I had to retire 7 years ago and no longer having cattle in my barn has become a form of torture. I even miss being awaken during the night by neighbors because some curious steer or cow has decide to play in the road terrifying drivers and blocking traffic.
It very much is a way of life.
Yes it hurts, i was living on/working on a ranch for a few years when my father was sent to hospital and I had to return home. I still haven’t returned out west and it hurts every day
I grew up working with bulls.
I haven't farmed ranched in 20 years.
And considered getting back into it. Im in great shape at 45, but I don't think I have it in me at this point. Too much to try to remember.
Adam, I had a cousin that was a bull rider. Chris LeDoux, he held records and championships. When he retired he went on to become a country music star. Cadillac Ranch was his biggest hit in the 90’s.
Your cousin was Chris LeDoux? That is awesome! I thought he was a bronc rider. I guess I'm remembering wrong. Lol, I loved that man! Cadillac Ranch was just one of his amazing songs! ❤❤❤❤
I absolutely love Chris LeDoux!, we lost him way too soon
@@nonyadambusness5158your not remembering wrong. He is wrong. Chris LeDoux rode bareback broncs. He won the world in 1976
Oh man, I love Chris's music. He was one hell of a guy and he was gone too soon. Real cowboys will ALWAYS know Chris LeDoux.
LeDoux was a beast on the circuit. And he's got good tunes 😊
And he rode broncs.
Montana, and nevada, the dakotas, and the south. Really almost everywhere. I grew up watching my grandpa, my uncles, my cousins. My family grew up on horses with bulls and cattle. Look up the 4 and 5 year old kids who ride sheep. There are teens that bronco ride. We start young.
My last ride I woke up in the hospital and after 7 surgery's and a few years of physical therapy I can walk but I do have days I just want to stay in bed. And you only stay on for 8 seconds but it feels like you road for an hour. And yes you can make thousands of dollars if you win. But for us it not about the money it's about trying to conquer something that is unrideable.
Damn, I hope you aren’t in pain 😢
@@MoreAdamCouser
The bulls make more than the riders! No joke
*NO, NOT A SOUTHERN THING!* (lol, Geeeze, the south always gets the credit!) This video states that Chris Shivers' devastating ride happened in BOISE, IDAHO (my home state)! Yes, there actually ARE other areas of the USA than Texas and the south. 😅
Amen, seems sometimes they think only Texas, and the South, are all their is. Because other states, and regions don't constantly brag.😂
I keep noticing that Europeans think cowboys are from the South. But then they seem to think America is just New York City, Los Angeles and the South.
@@RogCBrand Yeah, that does seem to be the way!
Yeah…boise…..texass…..yeah…pretty much asshole country…look at who they think is jesus.
Lmaooo it's a western thing nobody ever understands... Arizona over here
My husband use to ride bulls in high-school, and while he was in the Marines. While in the military he got stomped on by a bull. He ended up with two compressed vertebra. The is now in his 50s and there are things that really bothers it. That life is really crazy. You have to be a wee bit crazy to do this.
I was trained when I was young for it. They use to start us off on a barrel. The barrel would be laid on its side and have 4 ropes attached to it, 2 on one end and 2 on the other. It would then be elevated off the ground and each rope tied to a tree or post. You would then get on the barrel and grab the rope they tied around it like the rope around a bull to hold on while 4 men would manipulate the ropes causing a bucking motion and side to side action! I was 9 years old, I think when I started but I chose calf roping lol.
I remember this. I fell off, but my fingers were caught in the rope. I nearly lost the top of my middle finger to torque. 9 stitches to put it back on. I went back to barrel racing.😊
@@darrinkleyla1587 barrel racing is a girl sport, you shouldn't have been on a bull barrel
Back in the early 70s, all kids could do barrel racing. We rode ponies, not horses. I was 7 years old. They didn't have mutton busting back then.
I ride bulls and have for about 20 years. You don’t want to be a big guy. The smaller guys have always rode better because of centrifugal force pulling you off.
Back in 2004, at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo, there was a night of college kids riding where one of the guys had to be carried out on a stretcher after getting his hand hung up in the rope and dragged around until he was raked off by the railing that surrounded the arena. Never heard how that turned out for that young man. I know that it didn't look good. I'm pretty sure it was his head
eck that caught the railing! It's one hell of a sport to watch! I can only imagine what it's like to ride. Mad respect for all that ride and have rode!
California's central valley has a lot of small towns that have local rodeo events. Some community colleges and State universities have rodeo teams that compete against other colleges and universities with rodeo teams nationwide.
26:33 the owners of the bull retired the bull and JB knew the owners and told them to send the bull to his ranch quoting “ that bull retired me now he can retire with me”.
A full bull ride is 8 seconds. If available to you a movie to watch is 8 Seconds which is the life story of Lane Frost. He was a champion rider that was killed by a bull in Cheyenne Wyoming in 1989. My little grandson wanted to ride bulls when he was little . At almost five years old he started riding calves in rodeos and then when he was five he began riding steers. He weighed 52 pounds and was riding 600 pound steers .
Cool
Bull riding and really any rodeo event is popular anywhere there is a farming community where you'll find horses and cattle. That can be found in the south but also places like Wyoming, Montana, Oklahoma and Idaho. Some riders even come from Australia and Brazil and one of the largest rodeos in North America takes place in Calgary, Canada.
California's central valley has a lot of small towns that have local rodeo events. Towns up in northern California have them as well. Some California community colleges have rodeo teams that compete against other colleges and universities with rodeo teams nationwide.
Also Washington, Kansas. And many others.
JB bought Artic Assassin because they were going to retire him anyways and he wanted to own the bull so that he could retire the bull that retired him.
I'm 71 now and a good friend of mine growing up rode bulls in high school and earned a bull riding scholarship to college. I was at a lot of the rodeos when he competed and before he crawled onto a bull he would puke. He was literally so nervous and scared that he would throw up every time. But he did it anyway. Any time I thought I was tough I would think about Sammy crawling on those bulls although he was scared sick each time. Those guys are a different breed.
Dude I remember watching the Chris shivers situation. I was a little boy and my father and I were just watching TV. I forget the station at the time but it was insane. My dad covered my eyes and all I heard him say was holy shit in Spanish 😂.
I’m 78 and I’m subscribed!!! Florida born and raised, though my dad was Air Force and I changed schools 13x. I started school in Tallahassee and graduated there, too. The same high school as my mom, 2 sisters, 7 cousins. 8 years ago I relocated to Oregon, from Florida after my mom died at 91 years and 4 days. You are always amazed by the distance we travel in the USA, 2852.4 miles.
It’s not just a hobby. It’s a lifestyle and passion. You fall in love with it without even realizing it. Although these animals can be dangerous they are the most beautiful creatures. And most of the bulls are big lovers once they get out of the arena
First it is pronounced JB Moony ..and 2 look up Lane Frost...he was a legend
Adam, Its the rope that is around the rump of the bull that makes it buck/jump...it doesn't like this rope's position
I always thought they tied tit around their danglies
Around the bulls flank, not rump.
It is tied around the bull's flank. Contrary to popular belief, the flank strap is not tied around the bull's testicles. This rope is to encourage the bull to use his hind legs more in a bucking motion
It's thrilling and awe inspiring to be in the arena to see these shows. My son is on his way to see a PBR show tonight for his birthday. I go every chance I get.
Look up Bodacius, it was the meanest rodeo bull that struck fear in all the riders.
I was very surprised that that bull wasn't even mentioned given what happened to Tuff Hedeman!
That bull was so BAD, Primus wrote a song about him.
Bo wasn't mean, he was dangerous, but he wasn't mean. He never once went after a rider, when they came off his back.
Bo wasn't mean, he was dangerous, but he wasn't mean. He never once went after a rider, when they came off his back.
@@StacyBaldwin-qv5cj yeah, it was the way he'd jump and get the rider rocked back and then slamming them down on his shoulder hump was what I remember being the most dangerous thing about him. Wasn't that the reason he was retired?
I rode a bull in 1996 at a rodeo in Vancouver Washington. 1 ride 6.32 seconds. Nothing bad happened, but I was like, "Never Again" It's so much more violent than it looks, and hurts parts of your body you didn't know you had. You take me to an arena, put me on a horse, and I'll Cowboy Up any day, but bulls, nope nope nope. 😂
Really surprised they didn't cover the better known wrecks. The goal is to stay on the bull for 8 seconds, holding on with only one hand. You can't use your second hand at all. The bull gets a score and the rider gets a score. Despite what the commentator said, the bulls are not wild, they are born in captivity. They also don't have malice, they simply want to be left alone to do bull stuff. Instead, they are brought into an arena with thousands of people, bright lights, and loud speakers to have a person strapped to them and a flank strap pulled across the most sensitive part of their body, not to mention the spurs used to dig into their flesh from the shoulder to their flanks. They simply want to get out of the situation they have been put in.
@@colleenmonfross4283 9-10 yrs they use them for entertainment. Bred to Buck. I absolutely hate it, myself!
My uncle was big in the rodeo circuit, and I would spend my summers clowning for him while he was training. I never rode a bull, but I bulldogged my first one when I was 13.
Lane Frost died at age 25, in 1994 there was a movie made about him called 8 Seconds.
I have done a lot of crazy stuff in my life, but I have never been crazy enough to try riding a bull. You have to be a special kind of crazy to do that. I do enjoy watching and have a lot of respect for bull riders they earn every penny they make that is for sure.
Country singer Tim McGraw did a great song called LIVE LIKE YOU WERE DYING, it’s about a man receiving devastating medical news. He mentioned riding a bull named Fu Manchu on his bucket list.
My dad was a bullrider, and I remember that he retired early due to the many injuries he had received. Injuries from concussions to broken ribs, loss of hearing in his right ear, dentures, crushed cheekbone, etc.
But he said he would do it all over again if he could.
Lane Frost the guy they mentioned as to why they had safety equipment was the subject of a movie “8 seconds”. After he was thrown the bull stomped on his groin.
I was at at local rodeo in the 1970's. A bull rider got gored through the neck. Somehow it missed all the important pieces. The cowboy was at the rodeo the next night.
I used to watch bull riding growing up and it’s crazy that it was fine and normal to do during rodeo season… especially for little kids..
One of my friends had a major injury during amateur riding… from it he got scars and became partially blind in one eye. The last I heard he still gets on the backs of bulls. I truly don’t understand why.
If you haven't already, you should do a video about the worst hockey injuries, that's wild
oh please do not show the one from this past season with the neck injury? I knew when his team mate got him up he was not going to make it.
I once went to a senior pro rodeo. There were calf ropers as old as 72, but the oldest bull riders were only 55. I wondered if perhaps bull riders don't live any longer than that. I'm happy to say that Richard Hedeman is still alive at the age of 60, but then he retired from bull riding when he was only 35. One of my co-workers went to bull riding school on leave from the Navy, but he concluded that he wasn't coordinated enough for the sport. I think he's too large a man for it. He's over 200 lbs., so he'd be better suited for steer-wrestling, though that requires considerably more capital investment. Small men tend to do a lot better at bull riding than large men. I'm not sure all the physics behind it, but statistically that's the case.
I grew up watching the Rodeo litteraly all the time. I had my favorite Bulls and Riders.
JB is a badass he knew he broke his neck and still walked out of the arena on his own went to the paramedics and smoked a cigarette
My Union Brother Ricky Barns was a Pro Bull Rider before becoming a Union Boilermaker, and he had broke his back bull riding. He was even in one of those “And He Walked Away” Videos. Sadly he was killed in a truck wreck a few years ago he was a badass
17:16 to the cowboy or anyone else who Loves riding horses, not being able to ride a horse is worse than not being able to breathe so I reckon You’d have to be a Rider to understand and I’m thinking You ain’t never Riddin on a Horse 🥰
I'm 67 y.o. Since I was young, horses have been my mental health and in the last 20 years, my reason for living. I've always told my doctors the moment they say no horses or riding, just put me on my horse and blue juice me. This last year, I've had too many injuries and surgeries, (not from the horses) nearly died given a 2% chance of surviving and all I could do was watch them from my bed. The docs now say, 'remember your goal to get well enough to ride again'.🤠
It is mainly a South West thing. From Florida to California and up the Rocky Mountain states into Canada. wiki: American rodeo, particularly popular today throughout the western United States, and in the Canadian province of Alberta, is the official state sport of Wyoming, South Dakota, and Texas.
They forgot Lane Frost😮😮😮...Luke Perry played Frost in the movie 8 Seconds.
Bummed there wasn't more about Lane Frost..legend
Living in Oklahoma, I've been to a few rodeos. Bull riding events were usually held at the end. I only stayed for the event one time, it was just too violent for me.
I grew up in a cowboy family ( I'm the rebel boho/punkish outcast) My cousins son lacerated his liver and bruised several organs in a bull riding wreck. As soon as he recovered he was back to it. Now he breeds riding stock. As a Canadian I can tell you it isn't a southern states thing, cowboy culture doesn't have boundaries really. They're all crazy, and tough as hell.
We used to ride bulls where I'm from (California) on random farms. Never actual bucking bulls though. That was the most fun I've ever had being scared to death.
Not gonna read through to see if someone else said it but JB said in an interview “he retired me it was only right that I retire him”
From $15k to $35k that's the minimum range of profit returns every month its not a bad one for me..
As a beginner, it's essential for you to have a mentor to keep your accountable...
How please, help me I really need to gain my losses back
I'm guided by hazelbrown1
Her platform is really safe and secured, not quite long I joined her discord
😱Sounds familiar, I have heard her names on several occasions.. And both her success stories helping families succeed.
After i raised upto 125k trading with hazelbrown1, I bought a new house here in the states glory to God.
This is not a "hobby" for them. It's a way of life!
I thank God that my son quit bull riding at 14 after getting kicked in the head and needing 13 staples in his scalp on top of a concussion. He rode one more bull after he recovered just to show he wasn't afraid then he quit fir good. His younger cousin finally quit a few years later.
It's not a hobby, it is a way of life. The only life they know, the cowboy way.
I wanted to ride bulls when I was little. I always admired cowboys like Chris Shivers. Now, while I have a big respect for the sport of rodeo, you couldn’t pay me enough to climb on the back of one of those bulls.
There are Rodeos with bull riding all over the US, but the biggest ones are in "cowboy country"- or where there are ranches and cattle. Rodeos have all sorts of events including little kids riding sheep called muttin busting. Bull riding is the biggest event but there are many other categories which are fun to watch. These bulls are actually raised for this and the big, bad boys are worth A LOT of money. There are bulls from many years ago and their names are still remembered. Bodacious is one.
The last Rodeo that I attended was in New Jersey. Certainly, not cowboy country!
I lived in Calgary Alberta from 20 yrs old to 30 yrs old - back in the 80’s. (Now I’m in British Columbia’s Okanagan Valley) My 2 daughters were born there. I went to the Stampede every year! For 7 of those yrs I rode amateur saddle bronc in local rodeo’s. I’ve met boxers and MMA guys - the TOUGHEST men I’ve EVER met, are cowboys!
Peace
Bull riding is all over the Southwestern and Western US and up into Canada. One of the largest rodeos in the World is The Calgary Stampede in Calgary, Alberta. Glen Keeley, the rider who died was from Alberta
Im a 51 year old Yankee woman. PBR is the only sport I watch. The physical damage is real. Even worse is the mental damage from constant concussions.
First one he wasn't even hurt really, bumps bruises and bump on head. Bull Riders wear a kevlar vest that protects them from goring. That saved Chris.
I can’t believe Lane Frost barely got a tiny mention.
My husband and I saw Bushwacker in Durango, CO. Very memorable bull!
They give both the rider and the bull scores. The more the bull bucks, turns etc the higher the score. The same with the rider. The time on the bull is also in the score. The rider's goal is to stay on the bull for 8 sec.The judges then award the score for the ride.
Clovis CA rodeo gets riders from all over. Best friends stepdad announces for this side of the Mississippi….. don’t trip bull riders know it’s stupid. Don’t expect them to stop.
Check out any video on rodeo clowns saving riders lives. Those dudes are a different breed. They stand in between a fallen rider and a bull. A lot of pictures of clowns having their fingers on the head of a charging bull.
I've been to the Clovis rodeo a few times.
Ex bull fighter/ rodeo clown here
Awesome!
You guys are the real champions.
@@DeborahDavis-zi6pm Thank you. It takes a certain breed to be a bull fighter. The same can be said for fire fighters, and cops.
What makes a good bull fighter is that you have to be in it for the right reason. If your only in it for fame, glory, or money then someone will get hurt. More than likely it will be the bull rider. You have to truly want to protect the bull riders just like a fire man wants protect someone from a fire.
My daughter and I go to a PBR event every year when they come to our area. It is so much better live than watching on TV. The crowd is soooo loud and pumped unless a rider gets hurt, then you can hear a pin drop in the arena until they get up and walk away or are taken out on a stretcher.
The bulls buck because of the strap right in front of their back legs. Same with the horses.
Awww, I LOVE that he bought Arctic Assassin, and provided him a calm, happy life where he is protected and can just live as he is meant to live. What an exquisite soul that rider has to have done such a beautiful thing.
my father in law got 3 bulls one is so gentle you can pet him the other ones no so much we keep the UTV ready
I was watching a team bull riding competition a couple weeks ago. One of the bulls bucked and flipped over backwards on top of the rider while they were still in the chute. These guys have some serious balls of steel.
to be honest it blows my mind that anyone that climbs on the back of one of those bulls can get off without massive injuries.
You should react to videos about the bulls themselves
The best ride lasting 8 seconds, or more gets a huge belt buckle and whatever purse is offered that day. It's a brutal sport played by real men!
You should watch the movie "8 Seconds"
I’m a bull rider and have been for 5 Years since I was 8 and it really isn’t as dangerous as you think if you know what. You are doing it not that dangerous
Bull riding has a different amount of popularity in different areas of the country. It's most popular in the south and southwest. The tour goes to just about every region of the country, from California to New Hampshire.
I saw a rider die in an event in 1992 or 1993 at a local event. He got hung up as he was thrown from the bull and was dragged and stomped for more than two minutes before they could get him freed. His hand was stuck in the rope and he was dragged against the fence and all over the arena.
good..gravy....
One of the bulls shown in this video, Takin' Care of Business, is the bull that caused Lane Frost's death. Lane's life was so inspirational that it was made into a movie, "8 Seconds", starring Luke Perry. Perry went through all of the training required for professional bull riders. Lane Frost's friends and family said watching Perry was eerie, and that he seemed to embody Lane's spirit. Even after the movie was released Luke Perry continued to ride and was a regular on the circuit.
I own the DVD of "8 Seconds" but have been able to watch it only once.....
bodacious was a great bull i remember seeing tuff try to ride this bull he got maul badly
I remember Tuff trying to ride that bull. Bodacious was a nasty but smart bull. He'd throw his head up just as the cowboy was being pulled down towards his head. From what happened to Tuff and other cowboys, there was talk that the bull was too dangerous, and they retired Bodacious early so no one else got hurt or possibly killed.
I remember bodacious. He was smart and mean. I remember hearing riders started wearing face protection because he liked to get them leaning forward then bring his head up to bash them in the face.
@@crestm1384but you have toe remember even the face protection didn't help.
I remember that bull it would absolutely eff you up.
I hope this makes you feel better.. I watched 3 or 4 videos of yours and sub'd, I always watch that many to make sure but you were too funny not to.. that was about 4 months ago after you 1st came across my feed. I'm just not on Twitch but I'm here! I was the one who kept telling you that you needed to watch my Jolly boys 😁 ❤❤❤ love from Denver Colorado!!
Never saw this before. Thanks for reacting. Rodeo is amazing but not for the faint of heart.
Did Bronco Riding in a few small rodeos... never tried bull riding... my hats off to them
Now you need to go back and listen to "Amarillo By Morning". I think you understand it better.
He already has.
@@nannetteoswalt4138 sorry I should have said again. I know he did.
We have Rodeos all through Canada, with a famous on called the Calgary Stampede. Bull Riding, Chuck wagon races etc, great fun.
If it hasn't been said, bulls buck because the rope behind the rider is squeezing the "tender vittles" of the bull. He is trying to get that off along with the rider. The thing is, the bulls know it is a sport. When they aren't in an arena, with that rope on, they are just a bull in a pasture. They get all the bovine tail they want if they are an especially good retired bucking bull. I may not be 100% correct on all but I am fairly sure I am close.
You only get really good money when you make the championships.
The 2024 PBR World Championship awarded $3.13 million in prize money
Bull riding is popular in the Western US and Throughout Canada. Several years ago I traveled up to Ontario to learn to ride a bull at the "Build A Cowboy" camp were you get to ride a live bull at the end of the week. Obviously, the bulls aren't as rough as the ones ridden in Pro Rodeo, but it was fun nonetheless.
Bull riding is not just southern. If you recall they just finished talking about a bull rider in Idaho. Its also in the North, and west. 😂
I would say bull riding- rodeo in general, really- is more of a Western US thing than a Southern US thing.
The bulls aren't evil, imagine if some idiot jumped on your back and wanted to ride you around for 8 seconds in front of a crowd of drunk idiots.
Not only that, isn't that rope tied around its unmentionables? I heard that is why they kick and buck; they are in pain.
@Kepi_Kei it's a flank strap that is placed over the bulls flank. Which is just the area in front of their hind legs. It just causes a tickle or minor irritation, like if you had a mosquito bite that keeps itching. It's not painful.
@@carson9359 Thank you for explaining that! I bet it's a common misconception.
@@Kepi_Kei of course! 😃
@@Kepi_Kei they know what they are doing. They know when to buck and when not to buck. The flank strap gives them that extra tickle. And with horses, they will get used to having a rider on their back and naturally buck less and less over time. The flank strap gives the bronco that extra feeling to keep bucking harder
Love seeing you reactI think we have alot of crazy activities lol I'd love to see you react to the best car flips in demolition derby and demolition derby stuff in general they are always fun my hubby used to drive in them and the guys that do work on their own cars they usually start off with toddlers doing power wheels demolition derby that's cute but shows how they start off but the real deal derby are so fun cars flipping, cats breaking through barrer walls, cars on fire it can get wild, do you have demolition derby where you are?
