bull riding
Eight-second challenge
Bull riding is a rodeo event where a rider attempts to stay mounted on a bucking bull for eight seconds while holding a rope with one hand.
The bull tries to throw the rider, and touching the bull or yourself with your free hand results in disqualification.
It's considered one of the most dangerous sports in North America: He broke three ribs bull riding last summer.
