Anaheim, California – Hold on with two hands if you are ever at a professional bull riding event.
The pyrotechnic, which contains close action with almost 2,000 lb. Bucking Bulls and the riders who hold on to dear life – feverish waiting to beat eight seconds – everyone provides a sight you need to see at least once in your life.
Fox Nation streamed Friday’s event in collaboration with PBR and gave Outkick an inner look at the “toughest sport on dirt.”

CLOCK:
Friday night (September 6) Day 1 of PBR’s weekend stays in California marked a joke in itself – and was teased during the show.
Bull riding … Seen as a Allamerican sport … Do you visit the coast?
Come on, partner.
Anaheim, Nashville or Bermuda Triangle – PBR display window is a hell of a watch.
CLOCK:
Of course, there is a point system that takes two readings on a pamphlet to fully understand. But you are forgiven to forget these rules and just stare at the massive animals that bucking and twisting, while riders – most under six meters and less than 200 kg. – Try desperately to hang on.
The riders were fearless.
They are the kind of men who pray before the event, throat bent for their breast in full praise to the Lord and then charges to conquer a bull.
PBR has packed arenas since ’92.
The job is “Simple”: Ride for eight seconds. Scoring runs up to 100 points – 50 for how well Bull Bucks, 50 for how well the rider handles it. And in the team series, these rides add to five-man teams fighting against City against City.
Here’s how to get matchups like Arizona Ridge Riders, quadrupling with Austin Gamblers, or Nashville Stampede takes on Carolina Cowboys.
Competing between teams, riders, MC and Beasts delivers a show that any sports fan can appreciate.
Ardente fans may claim: They are just here to compete, not perform.
Wrong – these guys bring it.
A rider even made a backflip from the protective railing where fans participated in the fun of the seats. Seeing the animals close to the Honda Center in Anaheim brought memories of hearing ear-piercing turns from Grave Digger at a Monster Jam event. Maybe it’s something near Angel Stadium, only three miles away, where the jam memory lives from 2004.
At PBR you hear Motley Crue, Kid Rock and the like blowing over the speakers. You see flowering pregame fireworks. You will even see border patrol agents working as a bull tamers embraced by a quantity that is 100 percent red -blooded American.
In addition to awe of seeing fans praying together, cheering together and rallying around chaos, the highlight was the shark cage.
Fans can roll in – cowboy hats and tecovas on – and enjoy the show from the seats, no doubt.
But digging deeper, Outkick entered the shark cage to see the bulls close.
At one point, a junk bull crashed into the shark cage – a cage protected by thick columns rising from dirt. The flowering impact drew a collective gasp from the crowd.
As we sat inside this little connection with four others, squatting to fit, we were closer than anyone else on the bucking animals.
Even on a quieter Friday night (Saturday’s day to go), the fans embraced the show and proved that PBR has a home in southern California.
As for winners, Arizona Ridge Riders dominated. Coach Colby Yates – along with team director and Yellowstone actor Mo brings lots – said they learned their riders to embrace the tension and preset by competing in Anaheim.
Coach Yates talked to outkick after the event: “We are really excited about it, because every time we come to Anaheim, we know this is close to our home. So we love to come here. We get a little more out of the fans because they know we are close to, so it’s pretty special for us.”
“It was excellent,” Mo added masses added. “Keyshawn [Whitehorse] Did a great job with the guys. I mean, the guys [Ridge Riders] are super athletes. And of course, the amount here, the energy from the crowd just adds another element and excitement to the athletes as well. So it’s just a great combination. “
In Anaheim, Bulls Buck, the crowd roars, and America’s heartbeat feels louder than ever.
