Have you ever seen bull riding? I don’t mean a mechanical bull at your favorite watering hole. I’m talking about eight seconds of furious action between the best humans and bulls that the Professional Bull Riders organization has to offer. If you haven’t had a chance to see it live, PBR’s premiere tour is in town this weekend and you can see it for as little as $10.
The Built Ford Tough Series is a group of 28 events held across the country and features the top bull riders of the season. On Saturday and Sunday the series comes to the St. Pete Times Forum, 401 Channelside Drive, for two days of competition. After the riders take the eight-second challenge on Saturday, the judges will determine the top 10 performers who will saddle up again that night. After another full round Sunday featuring all riders, the top cumulative scorers will compete in a final showdown to decide the event’s winner. If you’ve seen it on television (and millions do every year) then you know that the results can be exciting, unpredictable and even dangerous.
Each stop in the series, which reaches 23 states, is important to the riders, who are gunning for a spot in the finals held in Las Vegas later this year. You can catch the action live this weekend, and you don’t have to break your piggybank to see the bulls. Tickets go for as little as $10 each, with higher-priced packages available as well.
The Built Ford Tough Series is an evening event on Saturday (7:50 p.m. start) and a day event on Sunday (1:00 p.m. start). For more information, visit www.pbrnow.com.
