Bull Riding Paper
The Professional Bull Riders was created in 1992; with twenty founding members all bull riders and champions in their own right.
The founders of the PBR were Sam Applebaum. David Bailey Jr, Clint Branger, Mark Cain, Adam Carrillo, Gilbert Carrillo, Cody Custer, Jerome Davis, Bobby Delvecchio, Mike Erikson, David Fournier, Michael Gaffney, Tuff Hedeman, Cody Lambert, Scott Mendes, Daryl Mills, Ty Murray, Ted Nuce, Aaron Semas, Jim Sharp, and Brent Thurman. These bull riders put in one thousand dollars each to form the PBR, with a unified a vision that bull riding could be a stand alone event.
The PBR and bull riding is one of the fastest growing sports. Over one hundred million viewers tune in to watch PBR events, and almost two million fans attend PBR events every year.
Bull riders of the PBR are different other sports athletes because they don’t get paid if they don’t ride. Eight seconds at a time is tough way to make a living, but the prestige and honor that comes with a championship ride is worth the sacrifices every bull rider makes.
Bull riding is not for the faint of heart, every bull rider knows that every time he steps across the back of a bull it may be his last ride. Yet these men don’t think about it because if they did they wouldn’t ride. Bull riders are men whose determination, try, and never quit attitude combined with their love of the game is what gets them through the pain, blood, sweat, and tears.
Bull riding is often referred to as 'The Toughest Sport on Dirt.’ Bull riders who live, breathe, and sometimes die in the arena, ride during the year for a chance to compete in Las Vegas at the World Finals.
When the gate cracks, hang onto your hat for an eight second ride you won't soon forget...
