Bad Boy Mowdown Bull Riding Series

The Great Western welcome the baddest, meanest, one-ton athletes who these cowboys aim to hold onto for their 8 seconds of glory to take home the Bad Boy Mowdown Buckle! The rules are simple; a cowboy puts one hand in a plaited rope and the other in the air and has to hang on for an 8 second ride, but when you're getting on the meanest Bulls in the country, it's not so simple.

Published on 13 December 2018
