Something new at the Cinco de Mayo festival, a mechanical bull. The price was five dollars a ride (still in my pocket, thank you) and no one but the young man in the last picture made it more than a couple of seconds. He hung on for 9 or 10, breaking the day's record.
Are these things anywhere other than the US? Probably some in Canada and Mexico. They look dangerous but the riders take their chances. The people I watched ride it were young and presumably sober. These machines sometimes turn up in bars, too, where the danger to your spinal cord (and reputation) is greater. Check your insurance.

les joies du rodeo, sans les dangers ;)) ca semble amusant
One day, when there's no one around, I'd like to try one of these. Maybe.... Did you?
At least they had that inflatable area to fall into!
Like Sharon said, no real injury scare here. You should have gone for a ride Bob!
Fun shots Bob!
They'd probably have them out west here in Canada. I've never seen one myself.
Love that top shot!!!
