00:01Requiring a great deal of strength and agility, bull riding is an elite but often overlooked sport.
00:07I'm going to grab the mechanical bull by the horns and see what it takes to be a badass at
00:11bull riding.
00:18I am really excited to get on this thing today.
00:21I've literally never been on the bull, so thank you for helping me through this today.
00:25Definitely, I'm excited for you.
00:27So what's it like? How hard is it to ride the bull?
00:30I would say it starts mentally.
00:32Definitely thinking about how you're going to be able to control yourself, your body on that bull.
00:38You just got to remain confident and you just go with the flow.
00:40Oh, definitely.
00:44So it starts with the legs, legs are the foundation.
00:47So should I automatically just start like squeezing my legs into the side?
00:52You want to start off.
00:53That's right off the bat.
00:54This is going to be an amazing inner thigh workout.
00:57Oh, definitely.
00:58We'll start with the hand grip.
01:00Okay.
01:00Which is the most important.
01:01You need to hold on with one hand.
01:02So where exactly is my free hand going?
01:05Having that hand in the air, you're just giving yourself that sense of direction.
01:09It's a little bit of like a steering wheel.
01:11Right.
01:11The bull's trying to fight you off.
01:12Right, so I'm trying to counter it.
01:14Exactly.
01:15Ready?
01:15Yes, I am.
01:16You know what?
01:16Yes, I am ready.
01:17Let's do it.
01:18Let's do it.
01:19I bet once you kind of get the knack of it and the feeling of it, it's the most empowering,
01:24exhilarating feeling because you're super focused.
01:26You're proving to yourself, I have strength and just mentally, you're thinking like, oh
01:31my goodness, I can do this.
01:33So it makes you feel like you can do anything.
01:46So what are we starting at?
01:48This is a one.
01:50Turn it up a notch.
01:52What level is this?
01:53Is it seven?
01:57Try nine.
02:00Should we bring it up a notch?
02:05Let's try a 10, count 8 seconds.
02:16Alright, we're good!
02:21That is badass!
02:23I won!
02:26So I think that was a level 10 for over 8 seconds.
02:29Really?
02:31I kid you not, you're the first one I've seen.
02:33Forget running the New York City Marathon.
02:35That was my proudest moment right there.
02:39Riding the bull was absolutely thrilling.
02:41I have to say I was very nervous to get on the bull,
02:44but as soon as the bull started to move
02:46and I dug my thighs into its sides,
02:49I was kind of like, I got this.
03:00And that's how I was looking for a new road.
03:02But I didn't think of it as much as the best of luck
03:02as I was looking for a new road.
03:03I have a camera that when I saw it,
