Professional Bull Rider
A Professional Bull Rider (PBR) is an athlete who competes in bull riding events, a popular sport in rodeos. In this event, riders attempt to stay on a bucking bull for a set duration, usually eight seconds, while showcasing their skills and balance. The sport requires strength, agility, and courage, as bulls can weigh over 1,500 pounds and are known for their unpredictable movements.
PBR events are organized by the Professional Bull Riders organization, which hosts competitions across the United States and internationally. Riders earn points based on their performance, and the top competitors can win significant cash prizes and titles. Safety gear, including helmets and vests, is essential to protect riders from injuries.
