Bushwhacker, asteroid, reindeer dipping, bodacious, little yellow jacket, Dillinger, tahonta, sweet pros bruiser and of course the world famous red rock. Those were some incredible bulls.
JB is a legend, and rightfully deserved. The absolute dedication of the man to his craft was insane. He ate, breathed, and lived bullriding. It's all he did.
Yeah, the bull actively tried to hurt people bucking riders forward then would aggressively buck his head straight backwards to hit the rider leaning forward. It was the bulls like, patented move and once he really "learned" it the bull had to be retired. Most bulls don't pull this "move" to riders. Bodacious was also very good outside of being dangerous though. Hard to compare the bulls, imo.
@@RugglesMedia that “move” you talk about is more of a set up made up of a few small moves called a hop skip. Messes the timing for riders all the way up. Very common move for bulls, some just do it better. (Size, momentum, leads) these are factors.
Bodacious was just a straight up killer, there's a difference between hard to ride and dangerous. People went nuts whenever someone tried bushwhacker, everyone held their breath with bodacious begging guys not to try
just gonna throw this out there bodacious 8 qualified rides out of 135 bushwacker 2 qualified rides out of 66 technically bushwacker is more impressive. but idk when those 8 happened and im guessing these bulls have a prime age so maybe the 5 out of the 8 happened in his later years. not gonna say ones better then the other
I like the idea of pitting yourself against a beast. I've always respected bull riders alot for that. It's a sport I know very little about. This interview has inspired me to watch and learn more about it. Thanks JRE
Speaking as a 38yo layman, I heard of Bodacious when I was a kid but never heard of Bushwhacker until today, so Bodacious is still more famous to the mainstream audience
Bushwacker is the G.O.A.T., Bidacious was the most dangerous and caused horrible injuries to riders and undoubtedly would of eventually killed someone if not retired early.
Watch Tuffs interview. Bodacious was a bada$$ and the older he got the better he got. Hes the reason riders started wearing face mask. They retired him because riders had gotten scared to ride him, even Tuff although technically did ride him when the gate opened but he jumped/pulled off before they left the chute, so he still rode him but he even didnt want anymore of him after bodacious crushed his face. Plus it was only a matter of time before he killed a rider. He destroyed many riders faces and broke many bones. Bushwacker, riders were bucked off, Bodacious, riders would jump off because they didnt want no part of him.
Sammy Andrews retired Bodacious after he hurt Scott Breding,he didn't want to be responsible for someone getting killed.He has said this many times over the years in interviews,Bodacious's early retirement had nothing to do with people not wanting to ride him....
Sweet pro Bruiser, amazing bull, amazing moves but had something extra, never tried to mash up riders would avoid standing on them, he was something special, knew what his job was he was an amazing showman. RIP Bruiser.
Bodacious is the baddest bull ever .. They had to retire Bo because he had a signature move were he would throw tje rider in the air and as the rider fell face forward he would buck his head up and smash his head into the riders face ..and he was destroying riders and literally breaking faces ..Bodacious is the Rankest bull of all time
TOP 5.... 1. Bodacious 2. Bushwaker 3. Red Rock(only undefeated bull ever) 4. Buzzsaw( Mexican bull, destroyed people) 5. Tie, Tahanto, Dillinger, Yellowjacket. There will always continue to be good bulls, some may prove to be the best. And the bulls have it tougher now. Riders are better trained.
Miss watching the shows when I would go to Mexico with my dad, these guys that ride these bulls are extraordinary, takes real guts man. Say what you will, if it’s not your thing, but go to a show and you will be amazed, and respect the ppl that go in there with a badass bull.
It's one of the dumbest activities man has yet come up with. Men abusing large, powerful, simple-minded animals in a fruitless search for manhood. I hope current and future generations realize how dumb bull riding is, and the "sport" dies off completely.
My best friend is a champion. His family specializes in cutting. He is a whole different breed of man. They don't build them like that much anymore. He looks like he was born to be in the saddle...
My man didnt shout out Red Rock, how dare he. Edit: Red Rock reitired 309-0 including a few trys to the great Lane Frost. Of course Lane later ended up covering Red Rock, as we know. Bodacious and Bushwacker are legends, too, for sure.
@wildworldofjre Bushwacker was ridden only twice, once in his first year in the rodeo and the second time ..... well both times were by JB Mauney, I think!
Bo was big, bad and dangerous. Bushwacker you could never get tapped off on him. He had many tricks and bucked like hell. Two distinct bulls. Both could hold top spot on any given day.
bushwacker was just athletic, bodcious was just straight hope u get out of there without injury ty murray tried him 3 times and failed., tuff hedeman learned his lesson on bodacious
Let’s clarify something DO you mean most dangerous as in harm someone OR most dangerous as in few or no one could ride? BECAUSE if the answer is so few ridden THAT would be RedRock. The bull from 8 seconds. Ridden by a grand total of one person out of 300+ outs.
Just my opinion but whenever you start making dudes that are straight up crazy and tough as nails go looking for safety equipment you win!! If I remember correctly bodacious was destroying guys faces and was a big reason for helmets being introduced.
In no particular order the 5 greatest bucking bulls in history are: Bodacious, Little Yellow Jacket, Reindeer Dippin, Bushwacker and Mossy Oak Mudslinger. In my opinion that’s without knowing stats, just based off of eye test.. goosebumps whenever watching those mf’s buck 😅
Another great bull from that era, Oscar. Over 300 attempts with only five qualified rides. Including a 97 by 8 time world champion, Don Gay. Tough damn bulls back then too.
