Bull riding is a rodeosport that involves a rider getting on a large male bovine, and attempting to stay mounted for at least 8 seconds. The rider tightly fastens one hand to the bull with a long braided rope. It is perhaps the most famed of all the rodeo sports.
History
As a major component of rodeo, bull riding is generally thought to have originated during 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.
