Bull riders are nuts!
There's a competition on board the USS Lexington aired on CBS right now. These guys be crazy.

I want to see old man representation. Why is it that only young men get to ride bulls and old bee-otches are left out of the equation? This is a travesty of inequality |
One of my work out buddies was a professional bull rider. He was about 5' 4" and maybe 135 lbs soakin wet...BUT man was he strong! Well, he was as strong as an.....ox!:D

I'll be lookin' for eight when they pull that gate And I hope that judge ain't blind Amarillo by morning Amarillo's on my mind |
Real men last 8 seconds

Kids can start at 5 or 6. It’s called mutton busting where they ride sheep. Still hoping for 8.
It’s what we do here in ‘Berta… |
I worked on a Miller Lite commercial back in the day that featured famous bull riders sitting around the bar with arm and leg casts (my handiwork).
They were all 5'4"- 5'8" and none weighed more than 140 lbs. |

I suspect there may be some other physics involved too. It's probably harder to hang on to a bucking bull/bronco with 240# of inertia than 140#. |

Love the song "Bull Rider" written by Rodney Crowell. Johnny Cash recorded it first. I really like the version that Puss n Boots does.
Well first you gotta want to get off, Bad enough to want to get on in the first place And you better trust in your lady luck Pray to God that she don't give up on you right now Live fast, die young, bull rider One hand hold is all you got To pit you and the bull against the clock and a course crowd And once apon a spinning ton Nothing else you've ever done can pull this way You're just outside the bucking chute You lose a spur and you lose your seat and you lose yourself By now he's bucking mean and dirty Slinging mud and cowboy boots and kicking clowns No fools, no fun, bull rider You gotta feel the way he's moving, you gotta watch his head And brace yourself for anything that render you might dead You know the art of hanging loose is hanging just as tight Well it's something like a hurricane that's dancing with a kite Well the rodeo is more than rough It's a fact of life and it's tough to cut and it's beaver hats It's drinking beer and pulling trailers Tight lemae on barrel racers and a horse bucking No rides, no pay, bull rider Live fast, die young, bull rider |
