Anyone into this. These guys are real pros. No whining about money, or injuries, and they have to play and win to get paid. No sitting on the bench because of a hang nail. They also pay their own entry fees so they can compete, and pay their own way to the events.

Don't see anything about arrests or wife beating or illegal drugs, just hard work and a vast amount of talent. I might be more interested in Professional Sports if all atheletes conducted themselves like these guys do.

Regards,

Bill

Pro Bull Riders are the only athletes who are tougher than professional hockey players....not smarter, just tougher.

I agree with Bill!!! These guys are paid what they deserve, actually they deserve more than most of the professional Sports guys out there now!!! Just went a few weeks back to Grand Rapids, MI to watch them, what a great show they put on!!! Would love to go out to Vegas sometime and watch the Finals.

And how 'bout the clowns...talk about balls!

My cousin was a bull rider back in the early 80's and was really getting into it before he got hurt on the job (construction). His dad was a bull rider back in the 50's and 60's and walked with a limp his entire life...lost an eye too!
