EXTREME BULLS

LAUGHLIN IS ONE OF THE STOPS ON THE EXTREME BULLS CIRCUT.  BULL RIDING IS ALWAYS THE HIT OF ANY RODEO, SO THEY SPUN OFF THIS BULL RIDING COMPETITION.  THE PRIZE MONEY IN LAUGHLIN WAS OVER $60,000, AND IT’S GETTING TOWARD THE END OF THE SEASON, SO THE YOUNG COWBOYS WERE GIVING IT THEIR ALL, TO IMPROVE THIER SEASON POINT STANDINGS.

THE OBJECT IS TO STAY ON THE BULL FOR EIGHT SECONDS.  THE JUDGES SCORE THE BULL UP TO 50 POINTS IF IT’S TUFF TO RIDE, AN UP TO 50 POINTS FOR THE RIDER AND HIS SHOWMANSHIP.  THE SCORES ARE ADDED TOGETHER, AND MOST RIDERS THAT STAYED ON FOR EIGHT SECONDS HAD SCORES IN THE 80’S.

THIS COWBOY LOOKED GOOD COMING OUT OF THE GATE, BUT IN THE END THE BULL WON.

Ah yes, that brings back some memories. bull riding was my game when I was a 2? year old kid. ya can't touch the bull with your free hand either, you will be disqualified. It's now "IF" your gona get hurt it's "WHEN"!!

Still exciting to watch even now some 50 year's later..
But I prefer my recliner.....

Thanks for the memories....
