BULL RIDING interesting facts and info…1864. Two groups of cowboys from neighbouring ranches met in Deer Trail, Colorado. The meeting was arranged to settle a dispute over which group was best at general ranch tasks. From this simple competition, rodeo was born. Of course, since then the sports have much evolved, the showmanship and highly competitive nature of the games have never wavered. A pivotal moment for modern bull riding, and rodeo in general, came the Rodeo Cowboy Association (RCA) then the Professional Rodeo Cowboy Association (PRCA). Through this organization many hundreds of rodeos are organized and held each year. Since that time, the popularity of all aspects of the rodeo has risen. In 1995, a separate organization was formed for bull riding alone: The Professional Bull Riders (PBR), which stages a large number of events including the annual PBR World Finals held at the Thomas and Mack Center in Las Vegas, Nevada. [edit] The sport The principles of bull riding are quite simple. A rider mounts a bull gripping a braided rope, and after he fastens the rope the rider announces he is ready. The bucking chute (a small enclosement which opens at the front) is opened and the bull storms out. The following few seconds are vital, the rider must attempt to stay on the bull for as long as eight seconds, while only touching the bull with one hand. His other hand must remain free for the duration of the ride.
The bull, as a prey animal, is wary of having a strap tied to its midsection. Thinking it may be in danger, it runs about at high speed, bucking wildly. This process continues for a number of seconds until the rider loses his balance and falls off the animal or is simply thrown off the bull's back by the sheer force the animal exerts or unties after completing his ride. Each bull is given an individual name, and around 75 bulls, each judged to be of good strength, health, agility and age are selected to perform.

As two athletes are involved in the game (the bull and the rider), both the rider and the bull are awarded points ranging from 0–100. Scores of zero are quite common as a lot of riders lose control of the animal almost immediately after the bull rages out of the buck
ing chute. However, many experienced professionals are able to gain scores of 75 or more. A score above 80 is considered excellent, and a score in the 90s exceptional. [edit] Points and scoring Judges award points based on several key aspects of the ride. A total of two judges have 50 points each to distribute among the rider and the bull. Judges look for constant control and rhythm in the rider in matching his movements with the bulls, points are usually deducted if a rider is constantly off-balance. For points to actually be awarded the rider must stay mounted for a minimum of 8 seconds, and is only scored for his actions during those 8 seconds. The ability to control the
bull well allows riders to gain extra "style" points, these are often gained by spurring the animal. A rider is disqualified if he touches the bull with his free arm.
For the bull, judges look the animal's overall agility, power and speed, its back end kicks and front end drops. Simply put, if a bull gives a rider a very hard time, a good number of points will be awarded. If a rider fails to stay mounted for at least 8 seconds, the bull is still awarded points. One special move the bull sometimes tries is a belly roll; this is when a bull is completely off the ground and kicks either his hind feet or all four feet to the side.
