I know deer are tough, but I was watching some PBR the other night and those guys are the toughest creatures on earth!!!!!! Holy moly! I have watched it periodically for years, but it always amazes me at how freakin tough a bull rider is. Ain't no way Id climb on one, would you??

Nope, I had a buddy that wanted to try it. He got on a very young and small bull and got tossed very quickly. The bull stepped on his ankle. Fortunately he came out of it with a bad limp and an education instead of a shattered ankle.

I rode a mechanical bull once and my legs were hurting for a week after that. No thanks to the real thing.

My son got on one about 1.5yrs ago. He hasn't asked to do it again.

That's the thing about bulls, after your first one, you know right away regardless of the outcome if it's in your blood. Unfortunately for some, including a boy I knew, one is all it takes toend your life.

Bullriding is as additive as any drug out there.

That's terrible man.

I'd give it a go, if the opportunity presented itself. I've ridden mechanical bulls and done fairly well, though I know its no comparison. I'd think it'd be a blast.

Oh it would be blast alright.....

Oh I know it'd work me over, if not seriously hurt or kill me... But that's half the fun.

Ignorance is bliss. (I guess)[:-]

Riding a bull is on my "to do" list before I die. I'm not talking a PBR bull or anything, but you see the people ride the ones on Real World, and stuff and I think it would be alot of fun!
