The rules are simple. Place a wiry 150-pound cowboy on the back of a hulking, snorting
temperamental 2,000 pound bull and see if he can ride the beast for an eternal eight
seconds...with one hand strapped to the bull's massive backside.
Professional Bull Riding is a fierce, rough, and grueling sport with roots deep in American
culture. It's America's original extreme sport. The PBR has turned it into a captivating,
dangerous, on-the-edge-of-your-seat sporting event, with the best riders and bulls in the
world.
The PBR is headquartered in Colorado Springs, Colorado and has over 600 athletes competing
in more than 100 PBR sanctioned competitions. More than one million spectators attend PBR
events each year. In addition to the weekly shows on OLN (Outdoor Life Network) in the United
States and Canada, the PBR broadcasts competitions in Australia, Sweden and Russia. This
unprecedented television coverage has made bull riding one of the fastest growing spectator
sports in America and around-the-world.
