Hold on to your hat, because you're in for the ride of your life!.
Bull riding is the epitome of rodeo excitement. Nothing quite compares with man vs. beast when one outweighs the other by about 10 to one. With nothing but a rope separating them, the cowboy must hang on to the rope with one hand for eight seconds. .
With 2,000-plus pounds of angry beast doing everything in its power to toss you off, you will need the following equipment for bull riding. First you need a Protective Vest,.
The vest not only absorbs shock, and it dissipates it over a larger area. The vest is made of a material called Kevlar, the same material used to make bulletproof vests .The vest also protects the torso from punctures and cuts inflicted by hooves and horns. Then you need rosin. A sticky substance that provides a little extra grip. Next is a glove that is made of thick yet soft leather, and protects a cowboy's hand and fingers from rope burn. It also makes it easier to hold onto the bull rope. Then the bull rope is what the bull rider hangs on to throughout the ride. This is the flat rope that goes around the bull behind his front legs. This rope, made of braided nylon or grass, is what the cowboy must hang onto for the duration of his ride. The part of the rope the cowboy hangs on to includes braided leather. At the bottom of the rope hangs a metal bell designed to give the rope some weight so that it will fall off the bull as soon as the rider is bucked off or dismounts the animal. The bell has smooth, rounded edges and does not harm the bull in any way. .
Next is the boots that have a special heel that helps the spurs to stay in place. Some cowboys wear the traditional pull-on boot, while others prefer those that lace up to fit the foot snuggly. Then wearing a cowboy hat is not only traditional, it is practical as well. A hat offers a layer of protection between the cowboy's skull and a sharp hoof. A cowboy hat will often offer just enough protection to keep a rider from needing stitches.
