New Zealand Family Reacts to AMERICAN BULL RIDING WRECKS!! 

STIR CRAZY is the movie

Well said and so true. Left out that a freight train wouldn’t snot all over you either.

I got that movie, now going to watch it again.

I mean, the freight train could have a hundred cars, won’t need to back up

Underrated comment 😂

I'm almost positive you're right...there had to be a pretty philly involved. lol

😄

Alcohol and pretty girls have started a lot of things...

Well said!

Curt Mueller - Wonderful explanation of what's going on, particularly the alcohol and pretty girl part. Personally, I think everyone in the ring should be required to wear a helmet and face mask, but that's just my opinion. Whatever your role is in the ring is, it sure does take a brass set. I once saw a guy (years ago, on TV), not only ride the eight seconds, but he went on, until the bull tired himself out and walked the rider around the ring, as if a broken pony.

Don't they also have a strap around them that hurts them to make them buck?

@@adriansulahian959 yes

@@adriansulahian959 their just trying to scratch an itch

@@adriansulahian959 It doesn’t hurt them. It just flaps around on their stomach. Their are an absolute fuck ton of animal rights laws that protect the bulls.

Doesn't hurt. It's around what would be the waist, and is just tight enough like a belt that the bull gets agitated from that. But no, it's not hurting the bulls. The bulls themselves run for a few million, so they are treated like pro athletes.

Also to assist in freeing a stuck rider, you can't do that from a horse.

I believe they prefer the term "bull fighter" now, as I hear them called on the PBR and such. But "clown" has been proper for a lot longer.

Or if one of the riders lambs gets caught in one of the ropes they are also there to get them free overall that’s pretty much right

yeah now days don't call one of those bullfighters a clown he'll set you straight in a hurry a clown is an entertainer

Back in the day I recall the rodeo "clowns" had a variety of props they used to distract the bull from the rider. The barrel was one. They'd get in the bull's face and deliberately make him chase them. Then it was a race for the clown to get to the barrel first and dive in head first. Many times the bull would toss the barrel in the air with the clown inside. Once it came down, if the bull turned away to go back to the rider the clown was out in a flash to pull the bull's tail or slap his backside to make him turn around. The crowd loved it. Once in a while they'd stage a show just for the clowns to show off their skills at distracting the bulls and it was quite hilarious, but always dangerous.

They can and do literally save the cowboys life on many occasions. You are absolutely correct on that one.

They don't call themselves clowns. The guy in the barrel is the clown. He entertains the crowd. The other guys are American bullfighters. They put it all on the line. Amazing guys.

@@anthonypettipas6885 Are you saying that other than the people we know as clowns, that there are bullfighters in the ring as well? I know there are a number of people in the ring to assist the rider even if they have to gang-pile the bull to get under some semblance of control. I was under the impression that everyone in the ring to assist the cowboy was a "clown" or other type assistant. Was not aware there were bullfighters in the ring; different connotation in this country when you use that term, I think of Spanish bull fighting. Quite different. Thanks for the info. Much respect and appreciation.

If you search Flint Rasmussen, he is in the arena with the bullfighters, but he stays out of the way. He wears a microphone and entertains the crowd between rides and during tv breaks. He dresses the same, but doesn't get in there to help save anyone. Frank Newsome is the guy that took most of the hits in the video you posted. Also, Rob Smets is considered the best ever. He retired, but their skill, and toughness are awesome. Many videos on all 3 guys. ✌🏼👍🏼

Bull Fighters

He ain’t no bushwhacker!

If I were to ride a bull, which I never would, I think I would prefer a bodacious to many others. At least once I was off I wouldn't worry about being stomped to death. I would rather ride a bull that wouldn't try to finish me off after I was off. I think. I don't know. I would never ride a bull.

My favorite bull

He was the best

@@TheGoodOlBoyzChannel Bushwacker was a helluva bull, too. I grant you that. Still, Bushwacker tipped the scales at some 1,700 lbs., whereas Bodacious was a good 200-250 lbs. heavier (weighing almost a full ton)... and he STILL got massive airtime in his jump-kicks. Mondo athleticism!

I remember that bull! Man what a Houston rodeo throwback.

That's the bull that smashed every bone in Tuff Hedemans face. He rode him to a near perfect score in 93. He scored a 95. I'd say Tuff and Bodacious definitely had a love hate relationship. Probably a big reason why face masks are now required.

Crazy I miss when I use to go to the rodeo I live in Houston I missed going to the rodeo when I was a kid I’m 15 now

@@Instead2 It’s changed a bit from when I was a kid in the 90’s. The people who go to the rodeo have changed too. But i hear it’s still good fun. When I was about your age I had a friend who’s grandma was on one of the boards so we were able to go almost anytime we wanted and basically have free run of the place, all the food and drinks we could want, got to sit in a private lounge to watch the show, and it was all free for us, so we went a whole bunch of times and got to see a bunch of concerts. That was a bit over a decade ago now though so I’m sure it’s even changed since then. It was good fun though.

Yellow Jacket was awesome too!

You have a pretty recognizable last name, there. Lol

Not a bad life for a human either.

I love Mutton Busting

Thanks for the info Mr.McCoy....you guys are the best..

We're love our bull riders in Missouri!!!♥️♥️♥️♥️

My Uncle raises bulls and has had some in the PBR

There were some distilled spirits involved in that conversation.

And Billy says, "Go for it! I'll hold your beer"!

Actually got started in Mexico in the 1500's. They rode the bulls to death. Eventually they rode them until they stopped bucking. Rodeo/charreadas originated there. Eventually it moved to Texas around 1850 in a rodeo /charreada in Corpus Christi, TX. So it was more like, Hey Guillermo, I bet you can't ride that bull to death... Even worse

@@marcmiller6532 No, he held his own beer, that’s why the one hand has to stay off everything else. Haha! And it was probably a bet of 10 seconds and he got bucked at 8. So they just made that the standard. Haha!

You forgot the "Hold my Beer" part. Lol

And he likely has some memories that are unique to his life.

The amount of money it would take not to mention the time for rehab he might have figured wasn't worth time, money or trouble. It's amazing what Plastic Surgeon's can do these days. Problem is, to look handsome again that money would come out of his pocket. As in he may not be pretty but he's close enough.

He retired from bull riding, but not from those injuries. He got those injuries in his late twenties, but he rode bulls until he was 36. He stopped after he damaged his leg, a nerve got smashed in his leg and he couldn't hold a seat on a bull or a horse anymore. He can't squeeze his left leg inwards with enough force to keep him in a saddle. He keeps a copy of his med file in his classroom, because everyone is always curious! He has broken like 80 plus bones, most of the time multiple bones at a time. He only has 7 toes, because a bull stomped on his foot and crushed three of them, and drove dirt and cow shit into the wound as well. He lives in Redding Ca. He is a kick ass dude, and humble. He was a great teacher. Very engaging, and would challenge us to do a lot of metalworking, like blacksmithing, not just welding, and it stuck. A good man.

@@garretisla5282 - Very interesting. Thank you.

You don't understand much. They're called bullfighters, not clowns.

Was part of high school culture . si what part if Texas you from?

Many a cowboy owe their lives to those clowns.

Their called Bull Fighters for a reason

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Don't you mean bullfighters?

They're bullfighters, NOT rodeo clowns.

Bushwacker?

How about that bony to man to that used to have I think it was a big as Brahma

YESSSSSSSSSS !!!!!

Bushwhacker was always a good bull too.

I agree Bodacious great choice.

Yeah you got that right

They definitely have a good reason to be angry

Not from the south but same thought process

Not only are they not used to being rode but before they release them they have somebody standing near the shoot, which is what that little box is called, with a cattle prod and they shock them multiple times in the hindquarters to piss them off before they release them.

There is a tight strap around the flanks and there's a nerve there. It annoys the bull and he's kicking and bucking to throw it off

The bulls are not angry they are just trying to get the riders off of there back and the riders have to hold on for 8 seconds or more

She didn’t realize the balls were in a leather Vice. Hahahaha

@@pamelaforray4318 according to a rider in a previous comment, they aren't.

@@cindyknudson2715 oh. I didn’t see that. They probably changed that practice now that I think about it.

@@kevinpark953 its not the rider they want off, they want to vice tied to their testicles off!

Southern draw was formed from Irish and Scottish prisoners, mixed with native Americans that learned English. So it’s not a stretch for someone from New Zealand to sound southern. I’ve lived in the south for 42 years. But yeah it was close. Haha 😆

@@jamesclark4523 Yes, I was definitely impressed with her drawl. I'm a native born Texan. We know drawls when we hear it! Lol!

@@Mflew2 I live in South Carolina, we’re also familiar with draws. Lol

I've been to Australia. The weirdest thing is seeing a fuckin Asian with Australian accent.

@@richardsimmons6526 how about a Native American with a southern draw.

2:43 you see one of them jump right in there between the rider and the bull

They used to dress like clowns until the last 10 years or so. They even had the face paint.

@@Robert-po8jn I liked that better.

@@Robert-po8jn I miss when they used to dress like Clowns 🤡

They still dress like clowns around where I’m from.

Its* not if sorry 🤣

The money for winning doesn't hurt either 😉

@@brianeleighton that's true but some rodeos only play favorites for scores trust me ive been screwed over a few times cause they had a favorite riding and wanted him to be happy with the money

@@timlorimer2128 also here in Italy we don't ride for money, usually.

@@maddog21031975 some of us do it for the glory and memories

RIP Luke Perry

Getting forced to watch this movie over and over again by 3 older sisters….I respectfully disagree lol

Rip Lane Frost

I forgot about that movie. It's was good.

"My Hero's Have Always Been Cowboys" is a great movie

Meant to add my Dad’s later rodeo years were spent as a judge for the PRCA-Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association. He’s still a card holder. He retired after getting stuck in the mud and getting a horn stuck in his side. Didn’t hurt him too much but he figured it was time to hang it up.

The other men are in there to help the rider and distract the bull. If they come off on the right instead of the left, it ties their hand up.

@@bjcee1108 not always on one specific side! You can hang up on either side

Great movie!

I was in Cheyenne that day and watched Lane Frost die.

@@barkerjames1980 That's heavy, such a sad story.

The Bulls are not trained for nothing they're not trying to Buck and kick or do anything like that had my Pro card for a year they're just large strong animals and treated very well by the way. No one trains Bulls to Buck people off their back they just don't like people on their back

Yeah the bulls are just as big of stars if not more so then the riders

They also are called bull fighters too and have competitions fighting bulls in the arena.

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-TBinPFgfJhI.html

Call em a rodeo clown to their face I double dog dare you. Rodeo clown and bullfighting are two different professions.

Yeah, they don’t like being called clowns.

We call them Bullfigthers not clowns lol

I think they are assigned the bull they'll ride by a "draw" and it's a fair way to assign you your ride. Some Bulls are very famous and all the riders know them.

👍😖😆😆😆😂😂😅😂😂😂💥✌

Yep. Yep. It's the truth. Laughing out loud.

Truth!!! 😂😂😂

Are you sure it wasn't "hold my whiskey," instead? [jk]

@@jreyman No it was definitely beer lol

I hate bronc riding, so many horses get hurt. Terrible

@@natashka1982 what? I grew up around Stock Contractors, Saddle Bronc horses don't get hurt very often at all. It hurts far more riders when they get bucked off

All true by the way about the origins but I still contend it started when one drunk cowboy said "I can ride anything with hair on it!" And another drunk cowboy said "oh yeah ride that bull yonder!"

Bull riding originates from Mexico I believe.

@@natashka1982Curious about that. It's not something I've ever heard. Not sure how they would get hurt other than perhaps by falling.

Yep, get to spend their last years plowing heifers lol

Kinda like the old story of the young bull and the old bull on the hill the young bull says he's running down and mating him a cow the old bull starts walking down knowing he's mating them ALL.

Don't they just go out there and make little bulls

Asteroid is still revered as a God in Northern Louisiana. Was Such a gentle bull.. you could go up amd feed him anytime. Sadly he past away last year of old age.

@@johnrobinson4939 I like the joke about Ferdinand the bull. He sees a young heifer, runs down the hill and jumps the fence in front of her. She says oh, you must be Ferdinand the bull. He says no, just Ferdinand, that fence was a lot higher than I thought.

God damn

Yeah I once worked with a guy who used to ride them, his knees were shot. Among many other lasting injuries he sustained. Tough guys without a doubt though.

@@cipher88101 not tough guys just dumb af

@@jamesmorrison968 tough.

@@jamesmorrison968 If they did it for free, they would be dumb. These riders are in it for the money, which makes them tough. Bull riders are the highest paid event in the rodeo.

Maybe the bull identifies as a cow? 😂

Are maybe it's woke.just sayin.

A Bull- Cow is just one of many genders, don’t assume and check your pronouns plz. Boy, I’m just so offended, the nerve of some people, next time just ask the bull or cow or bull-cow or was it cow-bull? Oh, I give up but you know what I mean , right! 🤔🐮🐄❄️❄️❄️❄️

It's really popular in middle Georgia too.

Carmen - Please correct me when I'm wrong, as it's not a matter of 'when', so much as it is a matter of how often, and how poorly I actually understand 'steer wrasslin'. Standard TL/DR warning, as this goes on for a bit. There are a couple of kids I know, about 15 or so, who want to read this, and I'm sure they will, as I've asked them all questions, of what they know about it. So, to us, this is a sort of 'educational piece', and some of them are quite young, meaning under 5 or so, so I want to keep it very direct, but as well, kid friendly. Just so you know what's going on, in terms of the kids. A lot of what I have to say, is actually directed to them. Again, please fill in the blanks. Most of them know what goes on in a barnyard, or a bedroom, or they will soon find out, even tho most of them don't really understand the inclination, yet. That part is not a big deal, but I try to keep it somewhat polite, even when factual. I hope you understand. Basically, I'm referring to my nieces, nephs, their kids, and the kids of my friends. The whole 's/he' thing, is meant to be gender obtuse, so that the young girls understand that they are included in this as well, even tho it's a male dominated sport. That's not a secret, but they are listening. They all tend to live (if you can call it that - just a joke kids) in Missouri, Kentucky, Texas and the like, so a big shout out to there, thus, the context. By the way, I live in NY (which they'll never forgive me for) but not in the City, as far from it, about 50 miles, which is quite rural, comparatively. It ain't Texas, but it'll do. During these Covid times of lock down and these kids not being able to go to school as normal, mostly for socialization purposes, we've made a game of dissecting a particular yt vlog, or comment, to exasperation. It's not just me, but all the other adults as well, that stir this blackbird pie, just to annoy the children, to keep them distracted from this uncommon situation, as well as occupied, but hopefully, while learning something as well. It can be about anything, a freedom they excel at, but I often draw them into 'Your New Zealand Family', which tends to lead to things that all the age groups can dig. Guess what, today, is your lucky day. I picked the vlog. They all dug it, but in particular, I did not pick out your comment, but rather they did. It seems they want to know all about rodeo, and in particular, steer wrasslin'. Some of them know a bit more than others, as they might be older, or live in Texas, but even they have questions, as much as the younger ones. What follows, is about verbatim, my attempt at telling them all I know about it, which I'm pretty sure, isn't much, but it's a start. Most of it, is in response to the questions they have. I'm kinda hoping (as they are), that you and your husband can fill in the blanks. Here it goes ..., As I recall, which is where the trouble begins, they open a gate, and a steer comes bolting out, and then another gate opens, probably 'timed', and a cowboy on a horse, goes chasing after it. How they get the steer to bolt out of the gate, I don't know. Maybe it's by a polite slap on the bottom, or maybe it's by an electrical tickle to a sensitive area. As I recall, by definition, steer are missing a couple of the serious tickle parts, as best I know, but there is one other I can think of, that if a cattle prod was applied to, could even make myself bolt into the arena (and to the uninitiated, that is basically a football field, minus the grass). So, the cowboy, on his horse, chases after the steer and ropes it, hopefully in one try. Don't try this at home, kids. Just fooling, of course try this at home, as you can probably do it, eventually, if you can throw a baseball. Just know, that the rope they throw, is somehow 'stiffer', than anything you might have handled before. How they make it stiff, I don't know, but I'll bet it involves water and cowhide, just a wild guess. Forget everything that you've ever heard of in regards that 'you can't push a rope', as this one, to a degree, you can push, as it's that stiff. Most of you, unless you are around cowboys, have probably never handled such a rope, so don't be dismayed. Look up 'Will Rogers' on youtube (just assuming he'll be there), as he was a decent comedian, and a vaudeville, circus, rodeo act back in the 1930's or so, who spun such a rope about as well as he spun a yarn (story). Unless you know your history rather well, you probably won't understand the current politics of the time, as he was a bit of a political satirist, but I'll bet he'll leave you laughing, regardless. Back to the steer, the cowboy, his horse and rope, I don't know if the cowboy, from the start, has his rope attached to the 'horn' of his saddle (sometimes known as the nutcracker, ask your parents), or if s/he ties it on the fly, once s/he's roped the steer, but I imagine it is done by either a half hitch, or a rolling hitch (both of which you can look up, and don't forget to study your knots), by which the horse, highly trained, now brings the steer to a halt, as the cowboy leaps off his horse and lands on the neck of the steer, and somehow, wrestles it to the ground. Believe me, other than for leverage (look up Archimedes, an ancient Greek), I have no idea how it's done. Thus the cowboy, takes a supple leather strap that s/he's been holding in the mouth, and ties at least 3 legs of the steer together, with a flying half hitch (it seems to me), and throws up arms, to stop time, meaning the stop watch, which I believe, is how this all is scored. Kids, as you probably know, I never call a line a 'rope' as I'm more a sailor than a cowboy. We don't have 'rope', on a ship. We only have 'line', and when small enough, as when small or less than your pinkie, we call it 'little stuff'. There is no 'rope' on a boat, so don't be deceived, or you'll be laughed off to dock. On the range, it is rope, but on a boat (the very same thing), is called 'line'. Carmen (and husband), I'm probably mixing up two different rodeo events, so please feel free to rip into my feeble understanding, as I would love to learn the truth as well. In particular, I want to know if I'm correct about the the 'flying' half hitch, which to me, means it is done with one hand, and as a sailor, I know how difficult that is to do. Is that a common thing in Rodeo? Most of the kids know what a rolling half hitch is (as that's how you tie up a horse in front of a saloon, at least in the old movies), as it's so basic, but as well, most of them know a true rolling hitch, being much more secure, but they want to know, Are there other knots commonly used with either horses or rodeo things? That's a wide open question, but several times, a 'bow-lin' has been mentioned, and a 'sheepshank' as well. One that intrigues me, and the kids call it by several different names, but most commonly, as a 'carriage knot', which as best I know, is a combination of knots, used to strap down the contents of a carriage, or in their case, a pick up truck. I was once given a present by a friend, who tied up a little box with a fine example of it, but rather than untie it, I just flipped it over, and cut the little stuff, to get to my present. He called it a 'hitchhiker's knot'. I don't even remember what was in the box, but I still have that knot, within arms reach, having yet to figure it out, but I haven't really tried too hard. It's more a matter of how beautiful it is. It is a sort of blend between a sheepshank and a bow-lin, that was infinitely adjustable, as far as the sheepshank would take you, but it was easily loosened, and then again tightened, to secure a hitchhikers luggage, in quick time. My version, took a bit longer to make do. The kids also want to know, how are the cattle and horse treated? What they really mean is, are they a part of a herd? To them, a herd is between 12 and 80, more or less. Do they get any special attention? Does it seem that they like to do what they do? They have more questions, but that's enough for now. This was given to me by a friend, as well a sailor, who was very good at it. He would tie down a truck, carriage or boat, very quickly, and it would look like a piece of art, as if macrame, and it never failed. I've had him teach it to me several times, but to be honest, I can only do a bastardized version. It still works, but it just ain't as pretty.

@@dobiebloke9311Wow! Thanks for the interest and questions! I will get with my hubs, Todd, tomorrow and answer your questions. Will reply soon!!

@@qcsweetgirl30- Thanks. I'll tell the kids to look out. Believe me, they will be tickled and loaded with even more questions, I'm sure. Usually, for those under 12 or so, pretty much everything they want to say over the net, goes thru an adult, usually their parents, but in a pinch, it appears that I will do. Often, I will just send the quote, as they would want me to, but in this case, there is such a hum of madness about things 'Rodeo', so I've been condensing it, honestly, just to spare you, that of which engulfs me. Most of these kids, but not all, are Southerners, more of less, if you consider anywhere between West Virginia, Texas and Charleston, South Carolina, southern, which I do, so for the most part, they are. But there is a contingent north of NYC as well, as far as to Maine, even a few in Canada, mostly between Montreal and Nova Scotia. As well, we have some kids from the West Coast, basically from San Diego to Vancouver, Canada, with a fairly strong concentration in Eureka, California (most thru family). You know who you are kids, (let me jump the gun, they all say hi). As well, there are kids peppered all throughout the States. Once I start to say such a thing, I feel I must mention all the States, but seriously kids, you and and I know who you are, from the Dakotas to New Mexico. Please include all of yourselves in that. Carmen, as they are paying attention, I've got a bit of a running conversation going on with them. It's not something I normally do, but in this case, I will. Sorry to impose. Here are a few questions, that apparently, I forgot to ask. First of all, what are the main events of a Rodeo? Secondly (and this was a big one), are there really Cowgirls? If so, how so (more or less, I'm guessing). Is a Rodeo only about cattle and horses, or are there pigs, bears and chickens involved (a legitimate question)? Come Monday morning, do the animals involved in a Rodeo just go back to their 'normal' life. Do they live in herds? Are they given special attention? Do their friends ever ask them where they've been all weekend? (thank you, Amanda, from MIssissippi). Are the cowboys treated better than most other cowboys? Where do they live, what do they eat? Do they only work near home? How can I recognize a cowboy, just walking down the street? Do the cowboys, or the animals, eat better than most others? Do they leave the animals out in the rain? Do the cowboys stay with them? Even in the rain? What happens when it snows? Do the cowboys sleep with the cows? (thank you Melissa, from New Hampshire). Do saddles hurt the horses? Why do horses and cows all eat hay? Do cowboys eat hay? (thank you Jordan, from Indiana). Carmen (and Todd), and the list goes on. I think that basically, they just want to know everything you have to tell them. Btw, when I give a shout out to a particular kid, from a particular place, it's only because I know that they are very young, and will get a kick out of it, as their parents read it to them. Otherwise, I wouldn't do so, as the older kids can attest. They know who they are. Funny thing is tho, WVirgina, is just a hop, skip and a jump from New York, but culturally, it is closer to Texas. I sent my younger sister an 'alert' to this reply I sent to you, as the kids were focused on it, so that she knew what I had said, and what's going on, Rodeo. She actually called me on the phone and said, you do realize, it's not just '15' kids, but more like '75', who are involved with this. No, I didn't, I told her. Well, do the math, she said. All these kids have friends, and on this Rodeo thing, there are about that many. Really, I asked, which is a stupid question, as my sister wouldn't lie to me, at least not about such things. Yeah, she confirmed. Do I need to worry, or do anything different? No, she said. Just do as you are doing, but please realize, it isn't just 15 kids. Don't get worried, as that will just mess things up, but it's more like 75 kids OK, I wished her Happy Birthday (just a coincidence), and here we are. I had no idea.

and in Oregon - even in one of the bluest states.

My dad retired from bull riding in the late 80s, he rode in rodeos since he was in high school in the late 60s, but it was cool. He rode bulls, rode bareback, and saddle bronc... and he competed in roping if he had the time, but I turned out completely the opposite lol... I grew up around horses and learned how to rope and stuff but I got into Skateboarding and surfing which was the exact opposite of what he was doing lol !! The rodeo is a Fun place for everyone though!! For sure !!

He's from central Florida... but rode in rodeos all over the country... mostly the south though... Im not sure if he ever got up to Wyoming, but it wouldn't surprise me !! Him and his buddies would pile in a truck with the horse trailer and have soo many people riding, there'd be people riding in the horse trailer sleeping on the 5th wheel and everything !! They were wild

@@jam3sbarry198 we had a 62 or 63 Chevy box van, tiny little van. But it had a built small block from somebody's uncle's race car. But the best feature was a kegerator!! Ask around if you DON'T kno what this is...and anything over 120mph it was terrifying! LOL same thing about too many people and communal gas fund's...good memories..LMAO...

Is that the bull that literally broke riders faces.....

@@danielcook11 Yep, that's the one

Bodacious caused quite a few injuries, but he gave the best rides at almost every event, IF the rider could stay on. Riders would often say something like, "Well, I got Bodacious. I'm going home with a trophy or casts."

Cowboys/girls often work hard for long hours. Even in modern times there's such a lot of work to do on a ranch or farm.

Same here!
