From October 30th thru November 1st are the first days of the Professional Bull Riders World Finals Championship event. Then again after a short break the finals will resume again on November 5th thru November 8th.

Bull riding was the very first extreme sport that there was. Of course there are tons of extreme sports today, bull riding is one that very few are able to stomach watching.

Anyone having the guts to actually ride a 2,000 pound bull with a serious attitude problem is number 1 in my book!!!

The idea of bull riding is for the rider to hang on to the bull for a whopping 8 seconds. That may not seem like a long time, but when your being tossed like a rag doll it proably feels more like 8 hours! To make it even more difficult the rider is only allowed to hang on with one hand and the other must be held out away from the body as much as possible.

I have a lot of respect for these guys. They go through a lot of injuries and near death experiences just to hang on for 8 seconds.

Interesting you posted this. I was watching real accidents today on Tv and saw a woman that was a model and bull rider. After her last ride she was thrown off and was drug by the bull and his horns struck her on the face. She no longer rides and thankfully her face was not messed up so now she is sticking to modeling..

Wow, modeling and bull riding arent really two things that a person should try to mix together. Thankfully she is alright and still able to continue on in her modeling career.

Those who are willing to put their lives on the line for just a few seconds and a chance at fame also have my respect.

The injuries that they suffer the possibility of death just amazes me that some are willing to attempt it on an almost daily basis.
