Something very cool and a bit different to do in Vegas

One of the coolest sports on the planet has to be bull riding.    I will admit it I am a bit of a red neck at heart but I have taken many people to the rodeo who are not "rodeo types of people" and I have to say all have enjoyed it.    Bull riding is more then just climbing on a bull, holding on and hoping it a very tough, dangerous and exciting sport.  

It just so happens that the best of the best will soon be competing for the world championship in Las Vegas Nevada.    I have only ever scored tickets to the Professional Bull Riders championship one time but it was a great show.    To put it in sports terms is it is like going to the final four in College Basketball or the Super Bowl in the NFL.

While only making the finals one time I have been to quite a few PBR Rodeos and I have one piece of advice, if you are going to go get the best tickets you can afford.     Get up close and personal where you can see, hear and even feel the action it will be worth every penny.    One more little factoid on me personally that I doubt very few people know about is that I actually rode bulls at one time myself. 

It was back in my Army days and we rode what is called "rough stock" which are simply animals that are not really rodeo animals.    I have heard it called tough but I can tell you the animals we rode were mean but no where as big, powerful and adept at throwing a rider as what these pros ride.    I only did it a few times and got ruffed up a bit which at 19 made me think I was cool but you would never get me to do it again.  It does give me a huge respect for the professionals that ride the biggest and fastest bulls in the sport.

So check out the PBR some time and if you are going to be in Vegas anytime soon tickets to the Professional Bull Riders are available at a cool web site called Team One right now.
