What is bull riding?

A bull riding job involves competing in rodeos where riders attempt to stay on a bucking bull for eight seconds while maintaining control and proper form. Riders use a braided rope wrapped around the bull and hold on with one hand, while their free hand cannot touch the bull or themselves. It is a physically demanding and dangerous sport requiring strength, balance, and mental toughness. Professional bull riders often travel to competitions, earning money through prize winnings and sponsorships. Safety equipment, such as helmets and protective vests, is commonly used to reduce injury risks.
