I got to try bull riding back in 1990 when I was attending college. Actually it was steer riding, but the mechanics are pretty much the same. I think it may have been the first and last time that the particular event was held. Steers don’t have the testosterone required to fuel a full on rage, but they are capable of getting somewhat annoyed.

One of contestants was a mature student. His strategy was to hold on and not let go. As the ride progressed he stayed in a seated position while moving from the top of the steer to the side and eventually to the bottom. Eventually, he was no longer on the steer. He got up from the arena floor and walked over to where the rest of the contestants were standing to tumultuous applause. He noticed a few moments after everyone else that the arse was out of his pants. He had to walk back to the center of the ring because his wallet was on the ground inside what used to be the back pocket of his pants. There were more applause.

My ride was less eventful. The way the event was being run, the guy who was on deck herded the next steer into the shute. The steers were a typical lot, varying in both size and vigor. I had been moving this smaller, docile guy away from the shute as my turn approached. As I climbed the gate to get ready for my ride, the next guy switched them around so that I ended up with the little guy. I ended up making a standing dismount 5-6 seconds into the ride. I think I was the only guy that night whose butt didn’t touch the sawdust. there was no prize for that.

The above personal story is NOTHING like the excitement that awaits spectators of the upcoming Professional Bull Riders World Finals in Las Vegas. PBR Tickets tickets are a hot commodity. A lot of PBR events take place in towns where PBR is the only show in town. With an event in Las Vegas, you could take the whole family for a getaway and the non-bull riding fans could enjoy a more run of the mill Vegas show.
