Hey Newbie that are peeking in here, what would you like to know about our passion for the toughest sport on dirt. Have you ever heard of a bull named Bodacious? Do you know why the band is put around their flank?
How a PBR rider is pick or who brings the bull? Do y'all think any bull will buck? We want to spread a little of our love to y'all. So ask away.

I'm a total newbie so maybe you can help by telling me why you like Bull Riding so much.

btw, each of those questions you listed would be great opportunities to start new threads on those topics. Would be a great way to educate us about PBR.

You're starting out really tough on me. Ok It is probably the last true sport that pits a man againist a beast. I know cowboys ride bucking horse too, but it's not the same. I think first you need to know what a magnicent animal a Bull is. In the field he can be a gentle giant. A Bucking Bull is breed to buck. A good bull will go $200,000 plus, so that tells you how serious breeder are. I think I got sort of off the question. You're kind of asking me why do I want to set and watch cars go around in a circle. There is no short answer. The shortest I can give you is I like Bulls and I like cowboys, they are both tough. TN_Gal finish up the answer to this question.

Well I am no way an expert but I have picked up a few things along the way.

One thing is that a rider is never given the opportunity to select their bull. Bulls get assigned randomly. Don't know the exact method of how they do it....like straws or numbers in a hat?

Also, Bulls chosen to participate in a feature rodeo are mostly locally raised in that rodeo area, however they have been bred from good bucking bull stock and are trained to buck like hell...........yi-haaah

Scoring Rodeo Events
Professional rodeo action consists of two types of competitions — roughstock events and timed events — and an all-around cowboy crown.

Roughstock Events
In the roughstock events bareback riding, saddle bronc riding and bull riding a contestant's score is equally dependent upon his performance and the animal's performance. To earn a qualified score, the cowboy, while using only one hand, must stay aboard a bucking horse or bull for eight seconds. If the rider touches the animal, himself or any of his equipment with his free hand, he is disqualified. In saddle bronc and bareback riding, a cowboy must "mark out" his horse; that is, he must exit the chute with his spurs set above the horse's shoulders and hold them there until the horse's front feet hit the ground after the initial jump out of the chute. Failing to do so results in disqualification.
During the regular season, two judges each score a cowboy's qualified ride by awarding 0 to 25 points for the rider's performance and 0 to 25 points for the animal's effort. The judges' scores are then combined to determine the contestant's score. A perfect score is 100 points.



Timed Events
In timed events steer wrestling, team roping, tie-down roping, barrel racing and steer roping; cowboys and cowgirls at "the other end of the arena" compete against the clock, as well as against each other. A contestant's goal is to post the fastest time in his or her event. In steer wrestling and the roping events, calves and steers are allowed a head start. The competitor, on horseback, starts in a three-sided fenced area called a box. The fourth side opens into the arena. A rope barrier is stretched across that opening and is tied to the calf or steer with a breakaway loop. Once the calf or steer reaches the head-start point — predetermined by the size of the arena — the barrier is automatically released. If a cowboy breaks that barrier, a 10-second penalty is added.

Only took me 5mins to get the 30 sec, was worth it. Shame the bull didn't kick a little higher, did a good spin. Look like Clay was sitting OK, hard to see on little picture.

Hey TN Gal you didn't tell me Guilherme had learned english,hooray for him. His birthday was Sat, 23 years old ,sure look more mature, can't say he's cute cause he is handsome. He could be a model on a romance novel. Just finshed watching the tape for the 2nd round, sure was some good rides. Your Gnash bucked my Brian Canter off. My favorite was Hot Stuff, did you see how he chased the bullfighter around, he almost got himself some, good thing they can climb the fence so fast.
The PBR was supposed to have an agreement with the broadcast network, ie: OLN and NBC so we would see all 3 rounds. Looks like this week we miss R1 and see R2&3 a day late.
