“Don’t Get Paid Enough”: Bull Riding Enthusiasts Rally to Support Athletes Amidst Debate on Sport’s Risk

The bull riding world may serve thrill at its maximum capacity, but the acts of heroism in the events always stand out. After the PBR Camping World Team Series concluded, it was time for Unleash the Beast to make its move. The series had already kicked off in November, which will extend over 23 events, where some instances in the game will go beyond competition.

In partnership with US Border Patrol, PBR had hosted the latest event of UTB. Bull riding is one such contest in which the spectators feel the most adrenaline rush. When the riders try to tame the bulls, they’re at the utmost risk to lose it. In the same vein, when João Ricardo Vieira almost washed his hands of his life, a legend jumped to the rescue.

Rodeo Beau Schueth’s heroic moves

According to PBR’s official Instagram handle, the organization celebrated a legendary bullfighter Beau Schueth. They posted a video with the caption, “Beau Schueth executes a superhero move to rescue João Ricardo Vieira!” The video paired with the caption was proof that rodeo is a game where the athlete’s safety is disregarded. 

João Ricardo Vieira, the Brazilian bull rider, tried to stay mounted on the bucking bull, waiting to be bucked off. Little did he know that the animal would throw him in a way that would risk his life. As he fell, the 39-year-old quickly grabbed the fence, but the bull was ready to attack him with its horns. Right at that moment, Beau Schueth took the blows out of altruism. 

Indeed, the video made headlines and gained traction among worldwide bull riding fans. So, the enthusiasts hopped in to shower compliments and bravery notes to the iconic save.
