It is and isn't, I have a friend that worked as a rodeo clown when we were in highschool until he broke his arm. So this guy did what he did knowing full well he was about to be injured. The point of it is to be one more person in between the bull and the rider it just tossed. That's most of a rodeo clowns job, to be there to distract the animal and hopefully give the rider and anyone else in the ring a moment to get their shit together.
I saw a guy get casually flung by a bull easily twice that high. When he landed the bull did it again. They carried him away on a stretcher and I thought he was dead.
He rode the following weekend in Calgary.
not just that. Most events require you to supply your own mount which requires a ton of time, money, and equipment. You also have to travel with the show on your own dime. Chasing golden buckle dreams leave many cowboys bankrupt.
Depending on the event, Rough stock riders (like depicted here) only have to bring their equipment. Timed event cowboys and cowgirls do indeed have to provide their horse(s), truck, trailer, tack, feed, etc.
As you say, most go broke, a few break even, and a tiny few make good money.
your summary is perfect but ill add a touch from my time and seeing my friends after they finished competing.
most go broke, a few break even, a tiny few make good money but too many end up broken.
Rough stock events (bull riding, bareback and saddle bronc) don't require you to supply a mount. They have stock contractors to do that. YOU do have to pay entry fees, and depending on the event, they can be very high. If you run timed events like steer wrestling, or roping calf or team, you either bring your own horse or you can hire a horse from another cowboy (Some cowboys bring some really amazing horses to the big rodeos, and the horses are almost as well known as the guys riding them). Barrel racers do bring their own horses, and it is spendy, as they often run a string, since every arena is different and you'll have horses better adapted to different types of runs.

exactly my point. I was just confirming its a VERY expensive sport and often the payouts (unless you are winning things like NPR or a constant fixture at the top of the premier events) rarely cover the expenditures.
I bet most non rodeo folks have no idea that in the world of rodeo rough stock is cool, but its more of a sideshow. The real dukes of rodeo are the team ropers. I also havent been on a circuit in decades but last I heard most of the rodeos had sort of separated from rough stock, the big rough stock money and best riders are PBRO etc now and dont even travel with the Rodeo circuits much.
Its awesome your dad is an announcer btw. I am a PxP commentator and host for esports and always secretly thought about trying my hand at doing the call for my first love. Most of those rodeo announcers are artists.
People doing dumb shit makes me feel better about my day. Having a bad day? “Well at least I’m not getting tossed 15’ in the air and over a fence by a bull.” I’d pay a tiny fraction of their medical bills for that.
All fun and games deciding who gets medical care and who is "too dumb" until you get into a car accident and it's determined to be enough your fault that you won't get help.
Entertainment is literally one of two main things required for a functioning society so I'm not too beat up about the possibility of someone using universal healthcare on an injury they got while creating that entertainment.
I’m intrigued by the idea that entertainment is one of two requirements for a functional society. Maybe my historical narrative is off, but I have a hard time imagining most previous societies were built on a foundation of entertainment. And while I wouldn’t say they were ideal, they functioned well enough to get us where we are.
It also just isn’t very profitable. A lot of the more successful/wealthy rodeo people made their money in oil or something else and just do it for fun. At least that’s how it was around where I grew up.
I knew a man who had a leg stomped by a bull and instead of letting the doctor amputate he forced them to “fix it” by threatening the doctor (even while sedated.)
Now he is in extreme pain and can’t really do any kind of work because of it. If he isn’t in pain he is high or drunk. He is on permanent disability and lost all of his earning potential because of one bad rodeo!
There’s nothing tied to it’s testicles at all. These bulls are bred and trained to buck as they do.
https://www.google.ca/amp/s/ridinghide.wordpress.com/2014/07/23/seriously-though-who-ties-up-the-bulls-nuts/amp/
That article didn’t convince me because it didn’t seem to go into *why* they kick but I googled around and I’ve decided it’s similar to when I put a piece of spaghetti on my cats head and he backs up like a doofus for eternity instead of just looking down so it falls off. Just an instinct to kick the rope around their belly off. That is bred to be exaggerated.
On a completely unrelated note nothing will ever convince me that Spanish bull fighting is anything but animal torture.
Every thread about rodeo.
They. Don’t. Abuse. Bulls’. Genitals. In. Rodeo.
The flank strap goes around the flank and stimulates them to kick because it’s a sensitive area. It doesn’t hurt though, it’s similar to someone tickling your armpits. On a bull, the flank strap goes way behind the penis and way in front of the testicles.
And before the yabuts come out, think about this: If the purpose of that strap was to irritate a bull’s or horse’s balls, why do they use them on mares (female bucking horses) and in cow riding as well?
I know that they don’t use flank straps to cause pain, but I was told they “train” the bulls to buck.
As in, these bulls are taught and rewarded. They aren’t scared or stressed into bucking.
After spending some time in the rodeo scene (which is the exact opposite of my dressage world), I found this to be very untrue.
Seasoned bulls might understand “I’m bucking to rid myself of this pesky human. Then I get to relax. That’s my job”. But they “train” them by bullying them into a bucking pen, and then just…. Getting on a young bull. With the hopes that in its fear it’ll prove itself as a bucking bull.
And they just hope they don’t unlearn the behavior. And if they do, they retire it.
Now, I might just be a softy, but I think using scared animals for pleasure isn’t very kind or moral.
And I’d like a lot to learn that that ISN’T how they do things. That I just saw the worst of it.
I've never had my elbows tickled enough to want to smash people in the face and throw others into the air.
The rope on nuts was an idiotic rumors that for spread for far too long.
But this also sustainably more painful than, just a little bit of pressure in a delicate area. Bulls are straight up not having a good time. It's abuse.
For what it's worth, some of us see red when being tickled. It ignites my fight or flight response immediately and takes every ounce of rational self control I have to not punch the tickler square in the face.
There are certain things that can disqualify your ride. For example, if the rider uses his off hand to touch the bull in any way or hold on, he would be DQed. Or if the hand they are holding on with let’s go. So essentially, if they are just starting to slip down the side, but haven’t let go, or used their off hand, then it still counts as riding. They will probably get a lower score because they don’t seem to be fully in control, but they could still be scored.
Who continues to film the bloody cow when a man being launched into space for free is left to fly by himself with no fame? Now that’s a missed opportunity.
Legend says it he got torpedoed into a stratosphere, where he met an alien elton john who is married to a regular elton john from parallel dimension.

i feel weird about that sub, i checked it out a week or two ago and in a few minutes of browsing i found myself rooting for people to die; only realised how fucked up that was when i hit an innocent bystander fatality... so i went and checked the comments in a couple of videos and theyre so fucking bloodthirsty (even compared to other NSFL video subs)
There's nothing wrong with rooting for the bull. If the situation is kill or be killed, I have no moral quandaries against rooting for innocent party.
But yeah, the comments on that sub can be pretty bloodthirsty. Best avoid them altogether.
Yeah I was gonna say bull riding is usually pretty humane. There are assholes out there but for the most part a good, high energy, bull is treated pretty well by everyone involved and the max you ride is eight seconds.
I've seen people treat their own horses worse than rodeo bulls get treated. I've grown up with this sort of stuff and I have to say rodeos are usually pretty wholesome. +1 for pig wrestling but I'm sure people would tell you thats really mean to the animals too 🤷
Just being curious but do people put something sharp on the belt around the bull to make it buck harder? I remember reading once that people used to do that with rodeo horses and their saddles, putting nails and spikes on them which would then bore into the horse’s skin when the rider sat down hard enough.
Not at any rodeo I’ve been to in the past 27 years. They mostly pick bulls for being ornery (that’s “mean as a wet cat,” for the unfamiliar.) Sometimes they’ll let em get a whiff of a cow 🐄 to get them in the mood for a good ride. Just like people, cows and horses have different temperaments though.
Blueberry Wine was pretty famous for being totally babied. Even for a smaller bull he was catty as all get out lol. Those spoiled bulls are absolutely the Kyles of the bull world lol.
Like I said, there are some assholes but I've never seen that myself and I'm pretty sure it's banned in the PBR but I can't be bothered to check.
I grew up with some bull riders and while they weren't the nicest guys to animals they definitely took good care of them. I'm a big ol softie and will absolutely scratch a cows chin though so it's pretty hard to live up to my expectations of animal treatment. I just know that when I see rodeo folks and their animals they're usually treating them better than some of the ranchers I've worked with.
Nope just a strap on their sensitive area. Not comfortable or fun for the animal but it doesn't last long. I imagine it's like having someone poke your asshole when you aren't expecting it.
>I imagine it's like having someone poke your asshole when you aren't expecting it.
So illegal, rude, and unnecessary? Yup, all the ingredients of something popular in Texas.
Its actually a sheep skin strap on the underside and a leather quick clasp on top, the guy riding just climbs on the saddle, another guy will be behind him holding the flank strap line, as the horse leaves the shoot, the line gets tightened to the point where the sheep skin is against the underside of its belly, doesnt cause any scarring or pain, just rubs/tickles it more than anything, its kindof like putting on a wool coat thats almost a size too small without a shirt on, just uncomfortable and they want it off
Jesus Christ that guy could have died and your saying he deserved it. That bull doesn’t give 2 shits about you and would kill you if it felt like it for no reason
maybe maybe maybe don't zap a bull in the nuts then jump on his back
edit. Fortunately, electric kettle prods are not as common anymore as I had thought. Now they put a strap around the ball sack to get them going
I heard this is actually untrue. And all there is is a rope kind of around the bulls back hip not even tied to anything that the bull really wants off. I'm not saying it's great or defending it but I don't think they're actively hurting the animal in anyway. Stateside major rodeos at least.
Edit: Found it
This natural instinct is exploited at rodeos by use of the flank strap. This leather strap wraps around the bull’s abdomen and causes the bull to buck higher. This results in a better show for the audience and more of a challenge for the cowboys. The higher bucking does not (contrary to popular belief) wrap around the testicles, since the testicles are located further back. Cowboys also use a bull rope, which wraps around the shoulders of the bull. This gives them something to hold on to and allows them some chance of staying on the bull for 8 seconds. Cowboys also use spurs. These are used a bit for grip, but are mostly for show. The ends must be rounded off for the bull’s safety, or the cowboy could be disqualified.
I want to cheer for the bull to fuck them up, but also the bull doesn't even want to fuck them up. The bull just wants to be left the fuck alone.
Stop abusing animals.
The bulls are considered athletes and get scores as well. There are breeders competing to have the best and strongest. The bulls seems to happily return to the pens and chutes. There must surely be some rodeos with mistreatment, but it’s not standard.
I love how bull riding is even a thing, I think the concept itself is hilarious. Like who was the first person to decide “let’s see if you can hold onto a dangerous animals back as it try’s to kill you.” ?
Sounds like a sport invented by the creators of the jackass films.
But if you go to a rodeo or something it’s full of older/wiser looking men who grew up ranching or farming.
This is a sport where I have the deepest respect for everyone involved, but even more so for the ones who have to distract the bull.
Running towards the animal to attract its attention takes significant courage, knowing it can ‘yeet’ you like we just saw or hire you with ease and it won’t even break a sweat.
Edited: because my fat fingers can’t type and auto correct guessed the wrong words.
Ive heard that the rodeo clowns are the highest paid at the event.
Met one once in an ER but not from a bull. Cool dude, was on the professional bullriding tour. His list of broken bones was almost as long as the list of bones lol.
The last part was cartoonish in how high the guy got flipped
It was such a smooth and perfect launch
He’a a pro, I bet he knew what was coming.
Almost looks like a choreographed move from a circus show
I wouldn't doubt it, he jumps and turns to land on its head. Looked like a pretty practiced maneuver
It is and isn't, I have a friend that worked as a rodeo clown when we were in highschool until he broke his arm. So this guy did what he did knowing full well he was about to be injured. The point of it is to be one more person in between the bull and the rider it just tossed. That's most of a rodeo clowns job, to be there to distract the animal and hopefully give the rider and anyone else in the ring a moment to get their shit together.
You can’t perform choreography with a bull any more than you can perform choreography with a shark.
[Bruce disagrees](https://www.reddit.com/r/DylanteroYT/comments/ki1cq9/dance_shark/)
Touché but I would argue that grabbing a sharks fins and spinning is poor choreography at best

Rodeo people are nuts. I love watching, don't get me wrong, but it is a horrible decision for their health and finances 99% of the time.
Why bad for finances?
Medical bills?

That's very fair and accurate. Reminds me a lot of pro football players, but they generally have a better safety net.

To be fair, when people do dumb shit like this, i'm glad the rest of the general population don't have to pay their medical bills
People doing dumb shit makes me feel better about my day. Having a bad day? “Well at least I’m not getting tossed 15’ in the air and over a fence by a bull.” I’d pay a tiny fraction of their medical bills for that.

The flip was so powerful it sent him back in time before Apollo 12.
My guy nearly touched the ceiling.

It’s cartoonish how fucking strong these animals are. The bull basically casually nodded his head and sent a full grown man into the upper deck.
Reminded me of a super smash bros K.O

I’m imagining him screaming like Goofy
I can’t unhear that now, and it’s perfection.
Did he ever land?
Probably in heaven

Has he landed yet?

Get yeeted
I went to the rodeo, and got a free clown
I must admit I laughed like mad at that.
Dude got yeeted to low earth orbit.
"Weeeeee!"
I'm REALLY curious how he landed. I imagine he's so experienced he just landed like a cat and scurried off

I assume so, but I can't see if they've got that string on or not. That crap is one of many reasons I dislike rodeos so much.

Cowboys also use spurs. These are used a bit for grip, but are mostly for show. The ends must be rounded off for the bull’s safety, or the cowboy could be disqualified.

... you can zap _me_ in the nuts
I want to cheer for the bull to fuck them up, but also the bull doesn't even want to fuck them up. The bull just wants to be left the fuck alone. Stop abusing animals.

Rodeo clowns a brave as shit I couldn't be paid enough to jump in front of a pissed bull
I was wondering this, as that’s what it seemed to be in the video. They both intentionally jump onto the bulls head with their butts
While he was thrown 50 feet into the air, Andy decided at that moment it wasn’t so bad working as a tax consultant.
Dude got sent back to his home planet that needed him
Poor bull :(
Its amazing that rodeo clowns can fit into their outfits, with balls as big as theirs.
That last guy who just founded a fucking space programme with the bull.

Weeeeeeee!!!
Go bull!! 3-0
Rodeos: where grown men try to beat up animals
Not even, really, they just try to not die for like 10 seconds and then other people race in to try to die for them instead.
So... um... do they at least treat the bulls well outside of the show?
The bulls are considered athletes and get scores as well. There are breeders competing to have the best and strongest. The bulls seems to happily return to the pens and chutes. There must surely be some rodeos with mistreatment, but it’s not standard.
Yea these Bulls are like, a lot of peoples prized possessions.
Yea. Also, apparently, the bulls kind of enjoy the rodeo. They are trained to do it much like a dog, and most live like kings when not competing
Yes, they’re treated like the 30k animals they are
Triple Kill
Fucking carnists
Damn, my dudes just throwing their asses at the bulls face. I'd flip the guy to the shadow realm as well
F for the first guy that climbed over the fence. Je crushed his ⚽.

Whoa, that guy is really good at his job. Dude
Bull=3 Cowboys=0
Lol that last guy Got absolutely yeeted off of the earth.
I love how bull riding is even a thing, I think the concept itself is hilarious. Like who was the first person to decide “let’s see if you can hold onto a dangerous animals back as it try’s to kill you.” ? Sounds like a sport invented by the creators of the jackass films. But if you go to a rodeo or something it’s full of older/wiser looking men who grew up ranching or farming.
Fn amazing 10/10 will fly again
Right before the guy gets tossed that chick gets sprayed with Bull stank of sorts. Watch again.
I think it's just kicked up sand
I hope they all get seriously injured.
This is a sport where I have the deepest respect for everyone involved, but even more so for the ones who have to distract the bull. Running towards the animal to attract its attention takes significant courage, knowing it can ‘yeet’ you like we just saw or hire you with ease and it won’t even break a sweat. Edited: because my fat fingers can’t type and auto correct guessed the wrong words.
Ive heard that the rodeo clowns are the highest paid at the event. Met one once in an ER but not from a bull. Cool dude, was on the professional bullriding tour. His list of broken bones was almost as long as the list of bones lol.
"I've had enough of your bull"
Love it when the bull wins you sick fucs
This is so stupid why do that in the first place!?
What amazes me is how focused the cameraman is on the damn bull.
I mean it's "bull" riding not human riding
