This video showcases the brutal intensity of professional bull riding, emphasizing the extreme physical risks and the resilience of the athletes. It highlights the violent nature of buck-offs, the critical role of sports medicine and bullfighters in ensuring safety, and the strategic coaching battles that determine the outcome of team competitions.
He's a guy that spends a lot of time kind of off by himself.
He's very quiet, even hangs out behind the bucket and
shoots while the rest of the team is up there getting ready to go.
Goodness, there's your sign.
Just left a tattoo on Wingson's forehead.
Wingson felt that.
You know, even when you see the bulls with big horns and
you got the muleys like this with no horns, their heads are still hard.
And he made big contact right there.
Yeah, and it's contact like that that may have you rethink your profession
as sports medicine.
We'll check him out.
Added to their team.
They know his riding ability.
They know what to match him up with. Here he goes.
Switchblade lowered the boom.
Boudreaux takes a hit and a zero.
Hey, take a look at Can-Am Cam here.
You can see this bull start doing a blender right there.
He got over the front too much and got underneath that helmet.
Oh, here it goes flying the next round.
It's not safe when you take it off like that.
I don't think it's safe at any time, no matter what the ride looks like.
But Boudreaux, he'll be ready for his next opportunity.
And the thing about it is me and the other riders kind of joked about it.
It feels like Top Dollar ever learned to sign autographs.
They put us out of business.
He has got a lot of fans.
Hasn't been ridden since October of last year.
It's going to stay that way tonight.
Ator took a shot at the end.
But you wouldn't know it.
Look at him.
That made me cringe right there.
You know, Top Dollar just talk about, you know, bucking off a field
and go any direction they want to.
Oh, I thought I heard a big pop.
It might have been Top Dollar's feet.
Oh, that could have been real bad because Top Dollar, he's no lightweight bull.
Right there.
He's going to be sore, but thankfully he's up.
Well, there are bull starts to a ride
and then there are starts from a bull that you remember.
Alex Cercada is going to remember this one.
Yeah, right. That went down.
And from a guy like yourself, it's a climb Mount Everest,
a slip like that is very treacherous.
You watch one slip right here and what Jeffrey D can do.
If you're not in that one spot, it could be dangerous.
Listen, I give Jeffrey D.
How about. Yeah, John's impressed as well.
I don't think he wants any part of that.
Did you see how Jeffrey D basically hurdled Alex once he was on the ground?
That's nice of him.
Yeah, very nice of him.
Lap dancer sends Trey to the showers very quickly.
Get out, get out.
Tough to say.
I say Trey's limping in sports medicine earlier, kind of get nice down.
Brother Sage kind of hurting for him, too.
Clock ticks.
By my count, it wasn't once, twice, but three times
he took a shot as High Road has a message of his own.
When they DQ him out there, there's not really a safe exit.
You know, he's trying to watch out for his chin, his free arm.
Oh, those two baseball bats he's got there in contact.
Tapped him a couple of times.
Yeah, that's a great one for Blake Sharp and his partners.
And Hayden Loud probably itching to have another chance at that one,
which he probably will later on this season.
Lower box, Hayden Welch, the guy that's already scored for them.
Yeah, that's something about a team player, too.
It's not just their ride.
It's going back down there, encouraging, helping
whatever they can do to push their whole team forward.
By the way, that's Guilherme Marchi, the 2008 PBR World Champ
assistant coach holding on, trying to adjust his helmet in real time.
Let's go back.
Let's go back and listen to what being shaken and stirred
sounds like in the shoots.
I'm going to go out on a limb and just say,
you probably don't miss that part of your life.
Yeah, that's the worst part of bull riding is there.
Thankfully, he has a helmet on.
He had to be missing some teeth or a broken nose right there.
And you hear a lot of banging around there.
But when you when you heard the crack like a like a bone breaking,
that's when the bull's back of his head smacked him in the nose.
Am I the only one impressed by Casio Diaz?
Calmness on the back of that bull.
Yeah. Readjusting his helmet.
Shake it off, guys.
You talk about that pain, though.
And with a smile on his face, he tells us he's hurt all over.
This is a guy that won a world title with a broken back.
This is a kid that had a dream of being like his heroes laying frost.
And he made that dream become a reality.
He became a world champion.
He understands the opportunity that's been afforded to him.
And he has that smile on his face for the love of the game.
Guys, even with all the pain.
Yeah, really cool to see and always fun to watch.
Jamison seems a tad settled, but will it last?
Great work by the U.S.
Border Patrol bullfighters, and I tell you what, I mean,
when we all watch one of the sport's toughest
barely be able to crawl away on the dirt.
That's one of those pictures worth a thousand words.
Sports medicine out there now, but cord.
Let's take another look at this.
And for a guy that's already beat up, this becomes very problematic.
Yeah, I seen Jamison rare up there a couple.
And we knew when his feet went back and his hand was still tied to him.
Oh, that's a big contact right there.
I think the time he hit him in the head there, I shook him up for sure.
And then hit him one more time on the way out.
So this crowd doing their best to show
their appreciation to one of the sport's greatest.
Diaz, if we can get any update on his condition before we go off air,
we absolutely will pass that along.
But this has become a very common sight, hasn't it?
Since that win in twenty twenty four.
Look at the list of guys he's bucked off.
Whoa, he's rare.
Did I mention back to ages?
Rewrite opportunity, but just good to see
Fatosa is unscathed.
Let's take another look at power stroke popping off.
Oh, I joke sometimes about your beef being rare.
That's about as rare as you get there.
All the way it gets the back of the shoe.
Oh, power stroke. I tell you what. Oh.
It's going to be, by the way, the rewrite bull lights out.
That is the money bull of the sport at the moment.
John Krimper tried
to slather some icing on the cake instead.
He got run over
in probably one of the biggest ways we've seen in his young career.
Yeah, that was a big one.
Dirty South didn't know this game was over.
It's all extra credit because when he got down underneath him,
Dirty South said, Hey, this game is not over.
Rolled him up a couple of times.
Krimper already dealing with that pelvis injury,
and then he has to deal with this reality.
The bullfighters doing the best they could.
But as you said, Cord, Dirty South, don't give a darn.
Florida may have gotten the win,
but at what price their superstar John Krimper
got roughed up at the end as it's Austin Richardson's ride
to start the game that gets them the win.
It's now under 10.
No turning back.
He had his back to nerve damage,
and then the bull did some damage
as he continues to run around out on the dirt.
That buck off at five point six means this game is over
before Florida's last two guys get on their bulls.
Yeah, there's damage was right there in that one direction.
Back the other way.
Calls the buck off.
Oh, he had three different choices right there,
but no damage like the blue.
Scary moment for Marco,
as only at the very end was he aware that that bull
had him in his sights.
Krimper asked if he's good,
but how could anybody be good after taking a shot like that?
Hung a spur
and then got hammered.
Yeah, you're right, Greg.
You can hear it in your voice.
It's the most dangerous part of bull riding.
He got up underneath him there.
Thankfully, crazy party pretty much just straddling right there
because if either of those back feet would have made contact,
something is going to break.
We all witness the spur getting caught.
Let's listen.
And then he's just folded up
and the contact causes the crunch.
You'll get checked out by sports medicine
and fans of our sport that have watched long enough.
No, Boudreaux has taken a lot of hits in his career,
but that was a scary one right there.
Wicked solo with some wicked
scary moves. Castro seems OK
as all three bullfighters keep solo spinning.
Well, Cord, he's one of your bulls.
I know I like the forty four point one five.
I hate to rattle the guy's cage there when you own the bull.
He come to buck and you can hear from up here how hard his head is.
Oh, he was right in the middle there when when he got bucked off
wicked solo. He was saying, hey, this is this is my guy.
He wouldn't even let the the bullfighters in his 10 foot area.
I feel like he did more than rattle his cage.
I feel like he crunched his cage.
There was some movement going on.
I'm going with that.
Look at Ator.
They have to get that bull clear and now they'll get sports medicine
out there is mystified,
stupefied Fajita.
Scary, mystified, definitely
smoking, changing speeds, hitting with that left horn.
Hey, let me let me tell you that the US Border Patrol, these bullfighters
stepped out there and they kept his attention.
I mean, it seemed like they bought him.
And it seemed like a half a minute to step up, to move out of the way
because he was right in front of the out gate where the bull had to go.
Such great work by our camera team.
We saw that horn to chin shot.
That is a powerful uppercut.
And on a Saturday night, Friday
night, fever has no problem
giving carriage the sweats.
That was a scary landing.
Yeah. Hello, Friday night fever right there.
Forty five point three.
Look at the pounce got coming.
He just get warmed up around left there as a bunker there.
Best bull score we have seen so far this evening.
Goodness. Another rider tossed
and Joker reminds the stampede,
the top team in the league, that sometimes this sport
is not a laughing matter.
Joker, he seemed black out of there.
It was just every jump within just a couple of inches
of the shoot and threw him right back into it as well.
Watch that. That steel does not give
made full contact over there.
Nashville leaves Austin
with one win and two losses.
That is what it looks like.
And eventually we'll probably find out what it hears like.
But he just got popped.
I can feel this all the way up here.
You can see this bull put just a little bit of power.
And when he got him to the end of his arm.
Oh, there's no forgiveness.
It's hard to write that in a stat.
Oh, it hurts.
Yeah, you can't underline the words
buck off enough to make anybody know what that feels like.
Be careful. Watch out for the right hook, because here it comes.
Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
We talked about that.
There you go. That is gone.
That is not the way you want to make your season debut.
Good to see Callum pop up.
There was nothing smooth about smooth whiskey on that one.
That was a scary situation.
You know, just a little slip, bucked him off.
But, you know, something hung just enough to pull him back up underneath that bull.
Oh, that's it. That's a dangerous spot.
Watch this.
Oh, I'm going to fold him upside down.
Callum looks to be OK.
In bull riding terms, yes.
Yeah, looks to be OK after getting wrecked out by a 800 pound animal.
That's what's called a clarification by you.
Thank you.
Was a great example of how in this sport
it takes two to tango.
A tour went right at Ransom,
but Ransom wins this duel.
Oh, and guys, that's when a tour wanted to.
The team was going back and forth.
We put a tour Casio on him.
Casio being banged up.
They went a tour and he told me I'd be getting on all the eliminators.
This is a bucker. I cannot wait.
Unfortunately, it goes Ransom's way today.
But what a dance it was.
I'm sure he would love to have me back again.
And that's that's two of them battling out right there.
Forty five point five.
That's a bull score right there is high enough to put in that race already.
But we've had a whole new bull race starting already.
And that's Ransom's first out since he won the title.
He's just been out with the ladies making the next generation of Ransom baby.
So picked up right where he left off.
That's the kind of reporting we love.
Yeah. From Kate Harrison right there.
Ransom will be ready for his next out.
And here's Gus hopes to leave his mark aboard Cherry Shot.
There's a kid that grew up in Rockhampton, Queensland,
Australia, going to a lot of the same bull riding.
Whoa, Matt, look like he popped the clutch down there.
Well, here's the good news, guys.
We talked so much about how tough Troy Dunn was, Brendan Clark
and all the Australians that have followed.
Guess what we just learned about young Jacob Carriage?
Same thing. My goodness.
Yeah, you were down there up close and personal.
Let's look at it again on video.
Well, you always talk about the intimidation factors
of these big stout bulls and horns and muscles.
But how about intimidation with this right here?
Court, I got a question, though. I got to step in here.
The guy on the back of the bucket shoots.
Isn't he supposed to hang on to the bull rider to keep that from happening?
Oh, I had to give the change help there.
No, it's your day.
Dan, the man came through for Nashville,
but then paid a price as short fire
obviously wasn't too pleased to be ridden.
Yeah, we always talk about the bucket bulls.
They never hear the whistle and stop to play.
It's not that kind of sport right here.
Hey, lots of contact leaving there.
Maybe even a reason to get a rerun to let him stop.
He finishes what he came for today.
Oh, yeah, there's one more kick.
Yeah. Eighty eight and three quarters.
The point total.
But there's the aftermath.
Silvano Alves, their assistant coach,
holding on to him with Gus, his buddy.
Those two are helping them stay upright.
Coach, you love the ride, but perhaps even more shocked by after.
What's the emotion right now?
Well, you know, just want to see how he's doing.
It was a fantastic ride like that bull loves going to the right.
That's a really great bull.
Typically to the right.
Change it up today. Back to the left.
I'm really proud of the way Daniel reacted to that.
And then, yeah, we're just seeing how he is now
because that was a wild deal at the end.
Here we go with Kansas City.
Eric Domingo, and he's down at five.
He starts his team's career aboard Double Tough.
And it looked just that.
Double tough. I can't just watch it.
His elbow right there.
It was kind of a wild out there leaving.
You know, the bull almost jumped back up underneath him right out of there.
Oh, that right horn.
That's what got it wasn't the power.
That was the it was that hard right horn is what hit him.
Wow. Hopefully he'll be OK to go if his team needs him tomorrow.
Vindicated must ride situation for the freedom or this game is over.
There was contact.
Paulo just said, is that a rewrite?
Remember, one in Cranmer to want to rewrite.
And by the way, they don't have a challenge.
So Paulo Cranmer is trying to beg at this point.
But guess what?
That's going to stay a zero, and that means this game is over.
That have been a good time to have a challenge.
Back to that strategy.
And as a coach, when do you use your challenge this time?
It comes back to bite coach Cranmer.
He can't challenge the decision.
It stays a buck off.
Nashville has gotten the win and they still have two riders to go.
Caleb Lewis.
That's it. This game's over.
They needed a ride right there.
And Austin with an early season
message to the defending champions.
He gets a rematch aboard Cupcake from Friday night.
And guys, this is who he said he would have handpicked to have again.
He told me, I just wanted to hear that whistle so bad.
I've just been hanging on instead of riding time to just go have fun.
Still not the play guide.
But this team is going to give him a very long leash.
He just needs to stay patient.
Forty four point six for Cupcake.
Hey, he was breaking the heat right there.
And if you haven't seen one that fast in a while, it is coming at you fast.
As Kate just mentioned, play just once
to make it to eight so badly after that six month plus layoff.
Complements of Dan the man.
I think Butterbean might have stepped on him a little bit there at the end.
Hey, a good ride for Daniel.
This just as far as just tracking him around.
Not many big moves, no mistakes and getting the score on the board right there.
And like you say, changing the leaderboard.
Eighty seven point six.
Gordon, let's look at the end.
You said you thought you saw something.
Oh, yeah. Right.
It's going to be sore tomorrow.
Yeah, so sports medicine has been busy early on this evening.
We're only in game number two.
Do it, dinner. Chest out, chest out.
Contact just under three.
We all saw it. A lot of people heard it as well.
Dinner moves to Owen two on the weekend.
Well, we all seen it.
A lot of them heard it, but dinner, he felt it.
The dawn definitely brought the heat right there.
Oh, watch this.
He got to get him a big contact.
Oh, ring your bell there.
Do you think the Rattlers helmets are the coolest?
Yeah, they're they're pretty shiny.
You know, like he struck, struck gold there in Texas.
Teodoro can't taste eight.
And unfortunately for him, it looks like he's feeling worse for wear.
Tough landing.
Yeah. Red reservation to continue to move around there
just I don't know that he got the exact shot that he wanted to leave in there.
But as you can tell, he was strung out from the word go and fight his way.
Yeah. Look right where he lands.
Cord, that's where he's grabbing is that lower back kind of that left hip.
Sportsman, obviously down on the arena floor trying to help him up.
This crowd, as he gets up, showing their appreciation.
And we took another look at that landing very hard.
Every guy that we've spoken to right for this weekend has mentioned
how hard the dirt feels.
Now on the clock, it needs to die.
I got 20 seconds.
You better stop answering yes or no questions to people behind the shoes
because they're going to think, you know, just open up.
Go. It took six seconds, but finally, Little Rip
able to tear through Zam Polo this game over.
Austin wins it.
Yeah, he can feel that's a good goal to have on your set right there.
I mean, it's one of those deals.
It's nothing against the matchup.
We just got to kick him in the rear there with his inside foot.
Oh, it's supposed to work.
Whoever's coaching looks as though we're going to stay
on the New York side and Marco Rizzo
off at six point four.
Quickly, the safety.
But this crowd thought he was on his way to something special.
Yeah, from the view we were at after that first quarter,
like, you know, he's got a spot and he continues to get over there every job.
I don't know if his hand rolled out a little bit.
What happened there at the end was a dangerous step at the end to.
That's a bull that had been ridden 75 percent of the time he left the shoes.
But again, every ounce, a chance for these bulls to shine,
just like the riders.
Oh, and he did get clipped at the end.
That gives Texas an opportunity
nasty move from Cupcake,
as he becomes more than a mouthful for Castro.
You hear Lowe's Joe Esper, right?
Because they don't have a challenge left.
I'm so glad you mentioned that.
Did you hear Cody, Cody politicking?
I don't have a challenge.
Yeah. Yeah, you got to do it yourself.
Oh, I mean, what do you think?
He would have got a rewrite.
But I'm like, when you've already used the challenge,
that would have been a good opportunity.
But watching it again in slo-mo, it would have been a great shot.
44.05 for Cupcake, and he brings it again.
New York continuing to be blanked in this game,
and this is a chance for Carolina.
Feel the magic turned into feel the pain and disappointment.
Buck off at four.
Hey, how about that?
That last jump, I can feel the hit.
He hit his helmet there with his horn.
It felt like a baseball bat hitting him with that.
Oh, he made some real contact there at the end.
Ouch. Very scary
and very serious moment while we were away.
Rogerio Vinancio, one of the stars of the Nashville Stampede,
took a huge hit.
From Jeffrey D., and then seemed to get stomped
once he was on the dirt.
Sports medicine
is out there.
The U.S. Border Patrol bullfighters all did a great job
of getting the bull off the dirt so that
everybody can come out and assess the situation.
And as you can hear from this Moody Center crowd,
they are showing their appreciation and respect for the toughness
that it takes to be a bull rider.
Let's take another look.
And this gets ugly quick.
Oh, that's the most dangerous thing, the big contact right there.
Came back later and stepped on his leg, but it was.
Oh, this explains how dangerous bull riding is right there.
And as we always endeavor to do, we'll give you any updates
on his condition that become available.
Twenty seven year old diamond bag.
Come on. Oh, oh.
And it took a shot.
It's all fun and games.
So it takes you out of your shafts and lose your britches.
Now watch this replay right here, this bull kicks him.
And right there in the in the vest,
that hawk got the shaft, that's what stripped him down.
Parting it down at the parting gift.
He can keep the gifts.
Keep the gifts aside.
Get it right and get out of there.
He finds himself on the clock as well.
That is a hard way to get introduced to the pros,
but smack you doesn't take it easy on anybody.
When you talk about coach Rhodes and one of the things
that he is constantly mentioned about this young 18 year old is
he is still very much learning how to become a professional,
be around this sport as a professional.
Well, he's seen both ends of the spectrum this weekend
from the highest of highs to what we just watched,
kind of the lowest of lows.
Matt Buckoff is going to present Nashville with another chance.
