Friday night SuperPizzaBoy and I attended the Professional Bull Riders Express Classic<\/span><\/a> here in Tulsa at the BOK Center.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_6342\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I had never been to one before. It was a cross between a fireworks show, rock concert, and a rodeo. Their was fire, flame, and loud music.<\/p>\n

The United States Air Force swore in a whole load of recruits. The crowd cheered the “Young Warriors.”<\/p>\n

\"IMG_6400\"<\/a><\/p>\n

There was a mouthy, hip hop, sarcastic clown with his own mike. He was giving the crowd, the contestants, and the announcers a lot of lip. Apparently, he is famous. He is going to be at Bass Pro in Broken Arrow if you would like to go see him.<\/p>\n

And of course, they had pretty girls who apparently were wearing theirlittle sister’s clothes because they didn’t quite fit or cover everything.<\/p>\n

We had demonstrations on the latest on lawn mowing technology.<\/p>\n

But mainly we had bulls and bull riders, lots of them. I grew up in small towns all over the west and attended lots of rodeos. The bull riding event was the favorite but it wasn’t like this.<\/p>\n

\"Professional<\/a><\/p>\n

These bulls are big and powerful. In the contest between cowboy and bull, the bulls won. Not very many riders were able to go the eight seconds.<\/p>\n

\"Professional<\/a><\/p>\n

Cowboys were flying left and right. One landed on his head, one got kicked in the face, and another got pushed down in the back. Professional Bull Riding was the original extreme sport and is considered the most dangerous event in sports<\/a>.<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

\"Professional<\/a><\/p>\n

Many of the cowboys are from Brazil. They are very tough looking guys.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_6423\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We rate the event at five smiles out of five.<\/p>\n

Check out the PBR web site<\/span><\/b><\/a>, lots of good information there. There is an extensive section on their policies and procedures on animal welfare<\/a>.<\/span><\/b> Included is a lot of information on injury rates.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
