Bull riding is the only rodeo event that doesnt have its roots in ranch work. It was more of a "hold my beer and watch this" sort of thing.
That is not true. Bull riding originated in charreadas, contests of ranch and horsemanship skills that developed on the haciendas of Old Mexico. In the 16th Century.
@MrJking065 OK, hold my cerveza and watch this.
As a reformed (retired) bull rider I can confirm we are both brave and stupid. You are correct we take a beating. But that love for doing it never dies, another part is the adrenaline side of it all and some get addicted and chase it for far to long. That is usually when bad things happen.
just start loosing your hearing and get a cat... same adrenaline rush.

R.I.P. Lane Frost
If you can find it, you need to watch the movie " 8 Seconds ". It is about Lane Frost. A famous bull rider from the 80's. It is an amazing movie.
As someone who lost their Dad at 2, and never had the opportunity for myself, I love seeing this. Just a father and his son bonding. Dudes just being dudes. It's incredibly wholesome fellas, keep it up. The world needs more of this.
Look up Bodacious the bull. He had a reputation for injuring riders. Out of around 135 attempts, only about 8 stayed on the whole time.
Back in the 1980s, my dad and I often watched rodeo on ESPN. There use to be a bull called Banana...or Bananas. That bull had horns, but they were floppy, thus the reason for the bull's name...looked like a couple of floppy large bananas on his head. It's a good thing that bull did have banana horns...he like to stay out in the arena and go after the rider, or the clowns...the horns were still kind of hard, just floppy and they could leave a bruise...but over all, a lot safer than the average bull's horns.
Bodacious was retired so he could not kill any riders. Universally agreed to be the most dangerous Bull ever.
@@Pugiron He was very popular when my dad and I use to watch the ESPN rodeos.
I live just down the road from Tuff Hedeman's ranch. Bodacious is the bull that broke every major bone in his face. Very nice man. One nasty bull.
Steer riding is for kids around his age! The steers are a bit more mellow and smaller than bulls.
It’s because their balls were removed, hence no bull puberty and maturity. You get the bill of the bill, but without the explosive power and temperament.
I like the way Garth Brooks said this in his #3 hit song "Rodeo":
Well, it's bulls and blood, it's dust and mud
It's the roar of a Sunday crowd
It's the white in his knuckles, the gold in the buckle
He'll win the next go 'round
It's boots and chaps, it's cowboy hats
It's spurs and latigo
It's the ropes and the reins, and the joy and the pain
And they call the thing rodeo
I was thinking exactly that!
I love that song!!!
In the old days, riders did NOT wear helmets. They wore their cowboys hats and obviously lost them most of the time. Occasionally you would see a cowboy hold his hat in his hand and wave it.
I worked with a lovely man YEARS ago who was wheelchair bound, paralyzed from the chest down after riding one of those bulls.

My city, like many in the West, has a annual rodeo. The animal rights people protest every year. What they don’t seem to realize is that these animals get treated like royalty. If they weren’t used for rodeos and breeding, they’d be hamburger.
Just because they are fed well, does not mean they are treated like "royalty." Do you really think they enjoy being hauled all over hell and back, having a bucking strap pulled across their flanks, a cowboy climb on top of them and gig the hell out of them with spurs, while the clowns and crowds taunt them? As soon as the bull breaks down or is no longer performing up to par, they are turned into hamburger. So much for being treated like "royalty."
@@colleenmonfross4283do they wear spurs? Seem they'd get in the way of clamping your legs tight.
@@Aughtel Yes, they wear spurs. They are easy to see on the video.
@@colleenmonfross4283 Better than being butchered!
@@sallyintucson No, they are usually butchered in the end when they have outlived their usefulness.
Most of the bulls know their job when someone is on their back. The flank strap, which isn't around their balls, is another signal to buck riders off. You'll notice the bull calms after the strap is released. Bull fighters are heroes to those riders; they have learned the art of falling and truly put the rider's life over their own. One of the well known bullfighters, Jesse Byrne, is also a hockey player I believe. There's some great video on him.
The so-called rodeo clown is the true hero of the rodeo. They risk life and limb to draw the attention of the bull away from the rider.
At his age he would start on young steers. You should show your daughter a video of Najiah Knight a teenage female bull rider (one of the top ten in her age group) who is a Native American from Oregon, her great great uncle is a rodeo Hall of Fame bronc rider. I have worked at rodeos as a EMT and its rough. I did rodeo as a kid but never bulls, nope!
When you see the bullfighter jump on the back of the bull, he is going after the rope to free the rider's hand.
These Bulls are Athlete's. When it comes for rodeo time they know what there job is. They can be the most gentle animal outside the rodeo but are ready to perform in the arena.
My Dad was a real cowboy and he said bull riders were crazy.
My grandfather was a dairy farmer,and after he "retired" he used to transport bulls. Twice he was gored,thrown up and over his truck. Lost one of his ears,had his hand ripped apart,and also his rib cage. On one of those occasions he was hospitalized for 3 weeks,almost died. All this when he was around 70 years old.....he passed away in 1978,at the age of 77 and i miss him terribly,he was an incredinlble man....RIP PopPop(Walter Tarpine)❤
3:16 The guys close in to the bull and the rider are now actually call bullfighters, the only one still called a Rodeo Clown is the one who is further away from the action. He is back with the Barrel and is cracking jokes and helping to entertain the crowd.
These bulls are treated very well. They are very expensive. My neighbor sold a beautiful bull for $50,000. Those bulls that make it to the World Champion Circuit are very expensive.
When they are retired from the rodeo circuit, they are bred. $$$$
@@OkiePeg411and when the breeding days are done, recycled into dog food.
Watch a video of the Saltgrass Trail rides to the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. There is one online from 1974 that is amazing. I was a 9 year old kid and watched the Salt Grass Trail ride pass my house every February. It was literally 24 hs long. It would go into the night, thousands of riders, horses, and wagons. The Salt Grass Trail ride still goes on, but it's a different route (west of Hwy 290).
We also had a Rodeo at our high school every Friday night. It was just as popular as the football games.
The power these bulls have. You can't even imagine. With just a flick of their head. They can send a 180 pound man flying 12 feet into the air. Without even trying.
And they don’t begin to compare to the power of the American Bison, aka Buffalo. A single bison can jump over an 8ft fence… essentially straight up. They can easily outrun most horses and can total a vehicle, if they have the desire.
I haven’t seen a cowboy yet, brave enough to even attempt to ride a Buffalo.
The guys protecting the bull riders are called bull fighters
The rope on the bulls back tickles his belly to encourage bucking
Last time got on one was in 77. Rota Spain, US Navy base. Them little Spanish fighting bulls ain't no joke
You need to do a reaction on a legendary bull named Bodacious. He's the only bull ever forced into early retirement cause he almost killed so many people.
That bull tosses them like rag dolls!
"8 Seconds" The famous movie of bull-rider Lane Frost who was killed after years of competing in the sport is a great example of what some people will do.
He stuck the landing! That young man is awesome!😂❤
One of the all time best bull rider was Layne Frost he was a rodeo legend. He was gored by a bull at 26 and died
Can’t ever watch these without remembering Lane Frost. 😢
Years back before the world went soft we had the prison rodeo in Huntsville Texas.
All the do gooders said it cruel and unusual punishment even though the prisoners volunteered to take part.
We still have our local rodeo here in Katy Texas and of course the largest rodeo in the world in Houston.
You should check out the bull Bodacious and what injuries bull rider Tuff Hedeman received from him . He then injured another rider, and the owner retired the bull before he could hurt anyone else. A lot of those bulls are like spoiled pets, but they know when it's time to go to work. Bodacious was inducted into the pro rodeo hall of fame in 1999 and passed away in 2000. God bless!
Great reaction, they used to dress as actual clowns, maybe people with phobia of clowns were being kept away and so they changed the dress code.
Bodacios was so Dangerous they retired him from the sport. Please check out the Best videos on that Bull.
He was the GREATEST BULL TO EVER ENTER THE RING.
I have some cousins who grew up riding bulls and now one of them breeds bucking bulls. My family has been in cattle ranching for a long time and that branch of my family continued doing it. It is an INTENSE process to breed those bulls. Their specialty is Plummer Bulls and they’re generally considered the most rank. The mamas are too mean to even raise a calf, so they have to implant the embryos in one of their regular angus cows. Crazy stuff.
FYI - In addition to women completing in barrel racing, they also compete in women’s roping-tie down, team roping, and breakaway roping and in some areas of the country bronc riding and bull riding (although only a few women current compete in bull riding the number is growing). In fact, there are girls who complete in the NJHSRA (National Junior High School Rodeo Assocation) and the NHSRA (National High School Rodeo Association).
Yeah those guys on the ground are about distracting the bull when the rider is thrown.
Getting the hand stuck is what scares me watching...I've seen that happen live, almost tore the guys arm off.
Look up Lance Frost. He was a bull riding star..
I once saw a bull was so powerful he broke his own back. The rodeo had to be stopped while they brought out shielding and a vet to euthanise the bull. Once it was done and they removed the dead bull they continued.
Keep in mind kids start with much smaller young bulls.
They start really young with "mutton busting."
My family is from Texas. My father was in rodeo in HS. He rode bull one time ... never again.
My high school in Texas had a rodeo grounds. NW of Houston!!!
Just as a reminder, you, as the rider and the bull together, are a team. You're both judged by eachothers performance. It doesn't happen often, but occasionally, someone that holds on for a full 8 seconds will lose to someone who held on for 6. It's just as much about the performance as it is about simply holding on.
My grandson plays travel Basketball. We travel with him though Georgia South Carolina North Carolina and Florida. He is the same way as your son. His first game he plays horrible. Than the next game he plays better. Than the afternoon games he is full on and almost unbeatable! I am glad your channel continues to grow!
The "clowns" are there exclusivley for rider safety. Often a rider will "hang" (meaning his hand does not release from the bull rope.) When this happens the clowns sacrifice themselves to jump in and release the rope. And of course, they distract the bull away from buck'd off/hurt riders, etc. They suffer the same, if not more injuries, than do riders.
They used to do this without helmets or the flak vests.
Did that bull try to hit the cameraman with that rider?
Yes, yes he did.
The rider are pros, and so are the bulls.
Bulls buck because of how they are bred and because of flank straps. Contrary to belief, the flank straps do not yank on their balls. The bulls are not hurt in any way. They command money because of their unique breeding traits and propensity to buck.
10:15 my favorite part, i love Garin's laugh
bull riders and rodeo clowns are a a bunch of good hearted people, real friendly when you get to know them
I used to love watching this, the best bull's were beasts
American Cowboy Bull Riding Competitions! They try to get the longest time on the Bull!
Back in the day when i used to watch the rodeo all they wore was their normal clothing, a cowboy hat and chaps.
From what I remember, a strap is put around the bull's belly, just before the back legs. The bull of course doesn't like and it makes the bull buck and jump to try to get the belt off. It's a very dangerous sport. 🐮
ive never seen garren laugh this hard lmaoo
There was a time when the bull riders wore no helmets or vests. Some still don't. Check out the movie "8 Seconds". It is a true story of bull rider Lane Frost. Your are dealing with a 2,000+ pound animal full of attitude and they will get into your business. This is the longest 8 seconds of their lives. Avoid the horns but watch out for a hoof in your ear.
I had a Miniature Lowline Black Angus bull ( they only grow to 40" high) named Carl ( I sold him so he could have some girlfriends). He was a very sweet and loved to rub on me and butt his head on me back. One day he hit me too low and he lifted me up in the air. I fell on his head (he was polled) and sat there until I jumped onto the fence. It was amazing how easily he picked me up by my butt; and he was just happily playing around. These bulls are 2-3 x's the size, have horns, and are purposely pissed off before letting them loose. If you have ever been on a mechanical bull you will know just 1/10 of the power a bull has to jump, kick, and twist their bodies. It's amazing they even get 2 seconds out of the gate.
Search "Bodacious", the most dangerous bull ever. Not the biggest or strongest, not the highest jumper, but always agreed to be the most dangerous bull you could ever ride.
That rope around their waist has a cow bell on it and Bulls just do not like noise they cannot see or identify. They will buck just trying to get that bell off of themselves. Bull riding is an old sport here in America and people love to watch every year as these riders compete for the title. Even the Bulls are rated by their performances in the competitions.
Have a watch of the Best Bull Riding Wrecks if you can. There are a number of wrecks and hangups in full display. Some of the bulls even have their own compilation highlights.
As a Chicago resident proud to see your son rocking the Blackhawks sweatshirt!
I’ve been told since I was little that my great grandpa died after getting an infection from being speared by a bull. He wasn’t a bull rider but he owned a slaughterhouse.
Jono - I mentioned horse sports for Leia to watch or try yesterday. I just thought of another - rodeo trick riding. It's gymnastics on horses. There's also vaulting which is not associated with rodeo.
Laughing at those Rocky mountain oysters lol I think I recall someone saying they would try eating them in a past video.. hehe I can imagine little man giggle through the whole meal. They have buck straps that make them buck like crazy. In 2013, the PBR made it mandatory that all contestants at their events who were born on or after October 15, 1994 ride with a full bull riding helmet. Those born before that date were grandfathered in and permitted to ride with a protective face mask underneath their hat or simply with their hat if so desired.
i and a stroke- then seiver a severand happened to be in a Houston hospital and was getting ready to be released , when the nurse said there doing bull riding now and were going to get busy, and then the shit hit the hit the fan lots of them were goin to be disabled like me.
These Bulls are insured up to a Million dollars
The bulls aren't angry, they're a breed or bread to not like anything on their back. If you watch a competition, you'll see most of them calmly strut back when they open the gate because that's what they're trained to do.
If you really like bull riding,watch the movie 8 seconds. Great movie!!
Are you guys talking about ice hockey? I have 2 grandsons play. The elder, who's 11, plays right wing and center. The younger, 8, is a goalie. We're in Alberta Canada. Horses, cattle, oil, and hockey are the life for us!
Notice the rope on the bulls flank? That rope is cinched up around him and bull is trying to kick and buck and get rope off
Stetson Wright, the current leader in the PRCA Bull Riding (370K), Saddle Bronc (251K) and All Around Cowboy (459K this is the combination of all his winnings so far this season) categories is set to win $900,000 if not more buy the Finals. He also competes in none PRCA sanctioned bull riding events (Like the PBR) that don't count towards his All Around total. If he wins the Finals or even places high enough, he is looking at million plus in winnings for the year.
Are they brave or stupid? Both - Garen. Smartest comment of the day!
NOTE: bull riders in the early days did not wear protective vest or helmets !!!!
I grew up watching the legends of the Sport , like the one and only Bodacious !!!
The bulls are super stars, sallyintucson is exactly correct the bulls are treated like royalty. Bushwacker a famous bull a few years ago was featured in Sports Illustrated as an outstanding athelete. They are worth hundred of thousands dollars and treated well because they are worth every dollar.
I feel like I'm getting collective second hand injuries just watching this!
11:10 What the man was trying to do there was get the rider's hand loose of the raging beast. I enjoyed your reactions and commentary😎
Like Garth Brooks said, rodeo riders end up with "a broken home, and some broken bones".
You're gonna have to watch Garrin if there's any ranches in your area. I think he was sizing up some of the bulls thinking he could stay on.
Jono, you and the G man would probably enjoy the film 8 Seconds
They have bullock racing in India. Gordon Ramsay did it on his six weeks in India series. It was incredible!
Congrats South Africa! from an American.
I always think it's hilarious that sports fans from most countries that somehow or another evolved from England/UK love to see them lose 😂😂
Good job on the W, boy. Keep your stick on the ice.
Ok great reaction fella's! Firstly the little guy Garrett i think i heard, would ride a small steer, or bull, and the stapbon tge bull is called the flank/strap or rope, and it doesn't cause the bull any pain!..from Wyoming USA 🇺🇸👋🤠
There ain’t nothing to it… just get on and hang on and say YEE-HAW !
I recommend reacting to 'World's most dangerous rodeo bull bodacious'
Some bull riders get hurt bad. Lane Frost died from a bull. Check out his story in the movie 8 Seconds.
when you come to the states I hope you get a chance to see an actual Rodeo in person.
I am so glad that they wear helmets now day. I don't believe they did in the old days.
The only part that blew my mind was how much G was laughing! I was cringing every time the guys were getting thrown and he was giggling. Even you asked why he was laughing at one point.
If no one’s told you yet that strap on the back of the bull is called the bucking strap where I grew up. It works by causing an irritation back where it is which makes the bull try to throw it off. Once you get past the irritation the bull is used to what happens and will buck like crazy just because it can. If you watch the videos a lot of the time once the rider is off and out of the way the bull will just trot back to the holding area cuz it knows it’s done for now.
I remember when they didn't use pads and helmets. Just clothes and a cowboy hat. Back in High School, my wife road in the barrel racing event.
If you're gonna be dumb, you gotta be tough.
Every animal does not like anything to be on it's back (including us) and will actively try buck off anything that is. Their instincts tell them that whatever is on their back wants to eat them. There are plenty of videos of lions jumping on the back of their prey and the animals bucking and spinning to get the predator off. It's a survival instinct that the sport uses to it's advantage. Add in the fact that the bull cannot stand to have that strap around their waist and you have a recipe for great entertainment.
Hey Jono..."The Best Bull Rider of All Time: J.B. Mauney" is a great 13 minute video about his life and bull riding career that I think you would really like.
Great recommendation!
The bull riders do have a lot of protection now a days.
They are required in pro rodeos to have the protective helmet, the kevlar vest with the neck brace on it.
As crazy as it gets in the US without firearms
For balance, you should watch some really great rides, when they stay on for the full eight seconds.
Old timers didnt wear helmets, there were some brutal injuries.
The guys in the ring are not rodeo clowns.. They are Bullfighters. If you were to ever do the running of the Bulls in Spain. You want these guys watching over you.
Great reaction!!!! Love to see more of the kiddos join you for reactions, seem like great kids, well done!!
