bull riding

Everyone knows that there are dangers when riding a living and breathing bull, but if you want to test the waters before hopping on a bareback, a mechanical bull ride may be exactly what you need.

With all due respect to the famed Running of the Bulls, this may be the craziest thing you'll see involving one of the animals.

It seems like such a good idea at the time, right? You're at the bar, or the state fair, or some amusement park and hey, what's that? A mechanical bull? "Sure, I could totally ride that," you think.

A lot of people have what they call "Bucket Lists". They're lists of things that people would like to do before they "kick the bucket". Hopefully I've got a lot of time to finish this list, but here are some of the more extensive things that I'd like to do before I "kick the bucket".

This past weekend Chad 'Ochocinco' Johnson saddled up on a bull named 'Deja Blue' for a charity bull ride. If Johnson / Ochocinco...whatever you want to call him even showed up, The Professional Bull Riders agreed to give him $10,000 for a charity of his choice and if he managed to hang on for an eight-second full ride.
