The staff behind the scenes is what makes bull riding events enjoyable for spectators and easy to engage in for the riders. The crew who assist control the crowd, the hosts who hype up the event. One of the most important groups inside management is the Bull Fighters.
When riders fall off or get off their bulls, bullfighters risk their lives to protect them. Bringing the bull riders to safety is really crucial since the bulls’ extreme aggression may be fatal. One such hero is seen in action, saving people’s lives, in an Instagram video by PBR. If these bulls are so vicious, how can these guys keep them under control?

A video of Lucas rescuing a bull rider was posted to Instagram by the PBR’s official account. After struggling for a few seconds, the bull rider who fell off his mount lost his balance and went tumbling to the ground. The rider sprang to his feet and attempted to flee for the safety of the perimeter. When he left, the enraged bull pursued him with his horns down, ready to mow him down. Lucas jumped in to provide his expertise.
The veteran’s first rodeo was at the youthful age of 16 when he competed as a bullfighter. Ten years later, he joined the Brazilian PBR events after working there. Since he was a kid, he’s had a burning desire to go to the United States. He spent some time studying English before relocating to Terrell, Texas.
