Description
A moment frozen in time. A rodeo clown looks on as a rider atop his bull hangs suspended in the air at the 2016 Montgomery Rodeo, held annually at Daube Farms in Skillman, New Jersey.
Bull riding has been described as the most dangerous eight seconds in sports.
Picture this: A daring cowboy straddles a powerful, snorting behemoth—a bucking bull, its massive muscles rippling under a sleek coat. This fierce beast, often of Brahman or Braford breed, weighs in at over a ton, a true force of nature. With grit and determination, the rider faces the challenge, gripping the rope tightly as the bull bursts into action. Hooves pounding, muscles flexing, the bull unleashes its raw energy, attempting to unseat its fearless rider. It's a showdown of strength, courage, and adrenaline, where every second counts in the heart-pounding struggle between man and beast. Here, we have just such a moment.
