Bull Riding Show Takes Over Garrett Coliseum
By Heather VacLav
Bull riding fans got an adrenaline fix Saturday night as professional bull riders filled the Garrett Coliseum with thrilling 8-second rides and jaw-dropping wrecks.
PBR's brave cowboys risked it all against monstrous animal athletes that can weigh as much as 2,000 pounds.
Bull riding started at 8:00pm and admission was $10. For an extra five bucks, fans could get an up-close experience with the bulls prior to the performance.
The "party in the pen" gave fans the chance to meet two-time World Champion retired bull rider Chris Shivers.
With the Touring Pro Division, riders compete in PBR events to earn some points toward qualifying for the nationally-televised Built Ford Tough Series, broadcast weekly on CBS, CBS Sports Network and networks around the world.
