It takes a certain kind of person to climb on a 2,000-pound bucking bull, strap one hand by a rope to the animal’s back and try to stay on top for those eight seconds. “It’s like everything you’ve worked for is clicking and coming together.” “When that whistle goes off, it’s just a rush,” said 22-year-old Cole Bass, a bull rider and fighter from Jonesburg, Mo. Reach that magic mark, and the rider has done something very few have achieved. Both the rider and bull have been prepared for those eight seconds, when perseverance pays off and hard work is put to the test. This is where training, talent and tenacity collide.
Eight blood-rushing, heart-pounding seconds in which anything could go awry. That’s the amount of time it takes to complete a qualified bull ride.
