JB Mauney: "If you can't deal with pain, don't ride bulls" | Project Adventure 

J. B. MAUNEY. One tough SOB. Decent and smart person too. I admire that bull rider very much.

It's true what JB is saying. I started late in life on bulls. Man I was so blessed to get the best advice from a few NFR guys one in particular was a old school African American bull rider ( he was old school...he hung with tuffy) who told me The guys who have made it and busted their asses will always lift you up and give you positive feedback and help, the bull shiters will put you down and never really help. I used that advice throughout life...even when I was out in sector in Iraq in a fire fight.

anybody have the title or link for that espn interview he mentioned?

I'm 12 and I ride bulls with a old rope and I do it every day I can

This is how billy the kid would look if he got to be older

Great stuff! That man is TOUGH!! "When you wreck that dirtbike, it don't come after you."

Thank you. I have been going through a really tough time and that’s why I started watching you and all the others. It has kept me in check every time I think the pain is too much! You inspire me everyday. May God Bless you and your beautiful family each and every day. You are “good people” as my Daddy would say lol.

Jb is just a bad ass. Even though he looks like Ernest p worl. Ya know what i mean Vern?

He is the toughest man to ride a bull. I watched him in Calgary he made the ride and got knocked out by the bull getting off. They carried him off unconscious and I swear everyone there thought the worst. He pulled through and made a quick recovery he must have been choked because he missed the big money day on Sunday that he qualified for handily

Love him, a very concrete man. Once in a while, at least there is one in the world.

True blue collar sport, don't ride don't get paid. Hardcore need only apply!

Your a champion!!! You had so many Injuries still get back on and ride .Hall of fame is where you be some day one of the best bull riders I ever watch ..hope your shoulder heals and rest of your body.and you get planty rest I pray god be with you. Threw surgery .. number 1 fan...miss Lillie..

HE KINDA REMINDS ME OF LANE FROST

That's life in the fast lane

Why would anyone hate JB Mauney? Even if he’s not who you want to win, hate him? I don’t hate any of the bull riders. I pull for every rider that gets on a bull. I pray they don’t get hurt. My heart stops when one is laying motionless in the dirt surrounded by the medical staff. I love the boys from Brazil and Canada and Australia and the good ole US. Is JB my favorite, damn right but I don’t get the hate against any of these cowboys.

I have a poster of him on my wall :)

3:57 🤣🤣 I looked like a midget lol jb

JB darlin you are and will always be 10ft tall and BULLETPROOF!!!❤️

He is amazing, I'd love to meet him one day and ask him few questions about bull riding, I'd love to try it even for once. I have nothing but respect for this man.

I love this cowboy he reminds me of Wes Hightower in Urban cowboy I hope he's not insulted by this .

The best

I’m a long time JB fan . When he does not ride , I immediately lose interest in watching the others. ( I still watch but it’s not as exciting). JB brought me back into watching the PBR . He is a Real Tough Cowboy !! Proved that time and time again . And now , just like JB , my New Groove Ring ( Camo Mossy Oak ) , has proven to be tuff as well . Highly Recommend these Rings !!!! Now my wife does not want to hear anymore excuses of why I’m not wearing my wedding ring . The Ring is That Awesome ! I bought 2 . ( mossy camo and Black camo ). Makes me even feel like a better person . Happy Holidays Everybody and I welcome you all to my growing channel. Enter for a chance to win a Knife of Your Choice this Thanksgiving Day ( expires Midnight Black Friday ). All my best to you and yours ❤️🤠🔪❤️🤠🔪

Aqui no Brasil temos uma grande admiração e respeito por esse grande cowboy! 🙏🏽🤠❤️🇧🇷

Hey I’m not disagreeing with JB bull riding is a hell of a sport but sometimes I can speak from experience that dirtbike and you fall off of it it will chase you down

Flexibility, waist movement, and quick reflexes are 3 of the essentials needed to be able to ride

They just don’t make’em like J.B. any more. Huge fan ❣️

That’s hilarious, about the ESPN interview, a man among giants, lol. You have hair on your balls and they don’t….there I said it! Love ya man!!

Yes sir, thanks JB hope y'all have a Merry Christmas brother

Hell Yeah! Tell Em Like It Is JB👌🏽 May You Be Blessed

Hell yeah.... break horses still and they done busted one of my lungs broke 2 collarbones ect... big bigg nutts is what we got... hell I was hurt while breaking them and didn't know it till the next day

Stay safe JB

Fascinating, charming guy, but more than the courage and the athleticism , he has a light about him and a quiet confidence...

Wow 👏 inspiring words coming from a true ledgend ! JB is one tuff son of B !!!

How can you not like JB?

From what I have seen, JB is the goat. Many Riders ride the common Bulls that will get you points, But JB 's riders gets you Legendary Status. You want to be known to be the best, Ride the Best. No bull about it.

you know how you get to be a cowboy? You get yourself a handful of marbles and you put them marbles in your mouth.And every time you ride that bull you spit one of them marbles, and by the time you've lost all your marbles, you're a cowboy.

pain???? baby you ain't in NO PAIN..... you are long past PAIN!

It's not pain anymore. Inconvenience, uncomfortable. Being so used to pain, it becomes mental, a state of mind. And learned from my last shoulder surgery. I told the Surgeon it does hurt a little, admittedly. Doctor told me I was in a lot of pain, and most human beings cannot tolerate the level of pain I was in. The pain receptacles are no longer sending the full report of the pain and are numbed up from being used to pain. Was told my brain deals with it differently. Dr. said I was in pain, but just dealt with it different. Riding bulls is a sick thing if you think about it. So addicted to that euphoric high one is trying to obtain week in, and week out, that it would be like what a drug addict (I think, don't really know other that what is seen on T.V.) goes through. No thoughts of what you are doing to your body or the capacity to care even though you know something is just not right happening. Riding bulls is a beautiful thing. It's an amazing thing. A special thing only a handful out of Billions and Billions of people get the gift and opportunity to do.

One bad ass little man. Ain't no fuckin around. Have to make good investments when the 💰 rolls in so you have no worries when it doesn't

He reminds me of Lane Frost! 😀💋

👍🏻

Lane frost -reincarnated

Fenomenal sou seu fã cara

Try explaining this sport to a black man who played college football ( I had to invite him to the Anaheim invitational when my sister who was my original partner in crime at these events had a previous obligation)

my friend who’s a senior in hs has been riding bulls since he was 13 or 14 and a few weeks ago he retired from the rodeo business and not even two weeks later he said i’m back he’s currently training for a rodeo he actually met jb

Eh me encanta tu programasion

awesome bro

He is the best

Bull riding is the toughest sport . I'm not sure what would be worse , getting kicked in the head by a angry 2000 pound bull , or skydiving with out a parachute.

AND FOR THOSE REASONS IT IS BY FAR THE DUMBEST THING YOU CAN TRY TO EARN A LIVING. THINK ABOUT IT. I LIVE WITH PAIN EVERYDAY FROM INJURIES DECADES OLD, FAILED SURGERYS, CURRENT INJURIES. NO WAY I WANT TO TRY TO ADD TO IT. LOVE BULL RIDERS, AND LOVE J B MAUNEY.

How old are you son? There’s a price to pay for what you do..and I will tell you, you will ask yourself many times…was it worth it, because in the end you have to live with it. I take pain medication, and anti inflammatories.

As kids we used to ride my uncles beef cattle, he would get pissed at us when he would catch us, he had some mean bulls we use to tease then run to the pond and swim out to escape them, I knew then , no way would I get on those bulls backs.

And if you chain smoke Marlboros, don't complain about lung cancer.

Yes, it's not for everyone. True though once you do it gets in your blood. Yeah I crave it. Best feeling in the world when you tap one off and on top of that you win money.🙂👍

I looked it up 1 bull rider dies ever 2 years that's insane UFC fighters in 30 years only 5 died

What strikes me about bull riders is that most of them can't move like a normal person (anymore). Just look at Mauney's shoulders at 4:02, that's not normal. Basically, he's destroying his body and likely will end up in a wheelchair with chronic pain. If he survives this "sport", that is.

JB missed one more ingredient to be a Bull rider. You gotta have bigger 🏈 🏈 than the bulls do.

PH cowboy here pays respect jb mauney idolo

Wish JB would put on his own bull ridin school

bro!!!! Im about to jump on my first one - why the hell you gotta start with all the death and paralyzed stuff???? Damn! Im gonna go crap myself now! LOL

“It’s a rough sport.” Dave Samsel

Would be a Privilege to meet JB someday bucket list

American bad ass.

Ufc fighting and bullriding .. Which is the worst

This is the real deal jb mauney best of the best’’

You sre the Reason why i wanna ride Bulls mauney

he tough as shit and everything but he aint the best

Dude.JB Mauney! Did that guy get kicked in the face at 1:02 ?

no one from a school will ever be in PCRA. best they will do is as a hobby

Brayden Ari I am crazy for my mom 🐂

Lol JB 100% rawhide

Rode bulls but not for no 8 seconds every time this why Jay is a Legend like TY, Lane, Tuff,and Adriano. Respect to anyone who rides now days with today’s Liberal society😝

I just want to register this with the greatest rider JB. #JBDBBulls #radiatorranch I just had a medial epicondylar fracture. My motorbike chased me along with nature in the form of a landslide. I'm 24 years of age, this yamaha engine is the 6th I own. My family had to go through a lot with me falling after 100 thousand kilometers of riding. Watching JB makes me feel, how little my problems are. My motorbike had a manmade brain, these guys ride on natural brain functioning against them. I'm on my way to a faster than anticipated rehab. I had a leg injury as well, Had to invest in an extraordinary pair of shoes and its healed already. #positivevibes JB nailed the intro, #oldsonofagun. Lots of love. Keep the videos coming.

You like jello chocolate vanilla swirl pudding when it's cold.

Hi j B I'm I'm fan watt you duing I'm I'm proud you brody you allbull raiders not have word you guysall guy sell you besf t brod you oak

Sorry to see him retire and the injury he suffered. No regrets. Hope he recovers. A true legend in my view.

I’ve hauled livestock for a good many years. The best load I ever had was rodeo stock. Come watch me load from a sale barn

If a bull rider in the pbr gets hurt, who pays their medical bills?

Any man that gets on a bulls back & that good at it, has my respect !

J.B. WOW.

Song ??
