Have you ever ridden a bull?

Wild Bill · 11-03-2009, 09:30 AM

First off, I am using the term "ride" very loosely. Many many years ago some friends of mine and I decided it would be a great idea to try and ride a bull in a field we were passing.

So we tip toed up to the bull, which was huge by the way, and I tried to jump on. I managed to belly flop on his back and stay there while the bull when nuts for what seemed like a minute, but my friends reassure me, it was barely 2 seconds.

After my friends helped me up we ran as fast as we could.

No way! That's crazy! Bulls are creepy to me. It's like they're always on the look out for a fight. Their eyes are all crazy and wide. lol I am pretty brave but I don't think I would ever mess with a bull.

If you consider being thrown off by one, riding then yes, I have. Three years ago my cousin talked me into getting up on one in the stalls and when I did he was fine. Then he opened the door and the bull took off and threw me. I hurt for weeks.

Sounds like the crazy adventures I had with my buddies when I was younger. I lived out in the country next to a farm that had a bull. There were plenty of occasions we attempted to "ride" the bull. We were lucky we didn't get killed!

You guys are crazy. My friends tried to talk me into getting on one of those bulls with a hump on its back one time. I think I was like 7 they were all 10 or 12. They kept telling me it was a camel. LOL

I've always wanted to give it a shot. I doubt I would last long, but it would be fun that is for sure.

Does a mechanical bull count? =) I have ridden one of those before, but I didn't stay on very long!

Real or machine?

Actually neither. The closest thing to a bull I have ride is a pony.

But I would like to ride it one day for sure.

No thank you! When my mother was younger, she took a shortcut across a field and there was a bull in the field! It got her right in the side and she still has the scars!
I would stay clear of bulls.

As for mechanical bulls, my son is great on these. He is the only one I have ever seen stay on the whole ride.

I have never think about riding a bull anymore. I saw someone gored once and from then on, it wasn't at all appealing to me. Before that, it had seemed like a lark-- something fun and challenging to do.
