BULL RIDING

Get ready for the cowboys to gear up for the most dangerous event of the rodeo!  With only one hand hanging on to the bull, the rider attempts to stay on the 2,000-pound animal for at least eight seconds.  If his free hand touches the bull before the eight seconds are up, the rider is disqualified.  This is an event where both the cowboy and the bull are judged and each are given a score from 0-50.  The scores are then added and the cowboy with the largest total score wins.
