Rodeo is the last, true, great American sport, as yet, uncorrupted by commercial garbage. It is the exhibition of cowboy skills in handling animals that is a natural extension of the daily challenges cowboys confronted on the ranch. In an atmosphere of "man against beast," rodeo bull riding is the ultimate juicer for the adrenalin junkie. The risks are obvious. There is nothing like watching a 150-pound man attempt to ride a ton of angry thunder for eight seconds. He's ornery, ferocious and out for blood—the bull's no sweetheart either. Most bulls outweigh an entire NFL offensive line. The average competition consists of 160,000 pounds of bull. The average cowboy is only 5'6" and weighs 145 pounds.
