Bull riders have an inherent predisposition characteristics that make them different from the rest.

He replied, “That’s why I always say you play the game… you take the pain… If I could get up and walk, I was getting on ? whether something was broke or not. I wanted to prove to myself that it didn’t matter how beat up or crippled I was, I could still ride ’em. I could put it out of my mind for 8 seconds and still do it.”

This was in regard to the competition which was held on 6th September. J.B. Mauney rode a bull even though his foot was already broken but he still rode.
