BRAHMA BULL RIDING
The element of danger plays an important part of the concept of bull riding, This alone perhaps makes this the most exciting even to the spectator.
The rider slips his hand into a split in the rope that fits snugly around the bull, right behind the bulls shoulder. To qualify the cowboy must stay on 8 seconds, careful to keep his free hand in the air. Today's bull rider is a trained athlete, known mostly for his balance and gymnastic ability needed for success and survival.
