| An intimate look at a fascinating subculture, its
star personalities, and the death-defying
confrontation between man and beast that has made
bull riding the fastest growing sport in the world.
Just as spectators flock to a NASCAR race because
of its inherent danger, bull riding possesses a
blood-and-guts excitement that sells tickets. In
Fried Twinkies, Buckle Bunnies, and Bull Riders,
award-winning sports journalist Josh Peter takes
readers along on the 2004 Professional Bull Riders
(PBR) tour to witness the sport’s exploding
popularity--and discover why athletes in spurs,
cowboy hats, and colorful chaps are hooking millions
of fans across the country.
The 2004 season begins like all PBR seasons, with
800 cowboys competing for a chance to be in the top
45 who ride in 29 major events during the season,
with the best of the best taking home a $1 million
bonus. Success is measured in seconds--managing to
stay on a bull for 8 seconds without getting tossed
is likely to secure a rider a big score. Most riders
fail. Many get seriously injured; some die. Josh
Peter captures the high drama of the sport and
introduces readers to a culture that’s rife with
colorful characters: the courageous riders chasing
their dreams, the scouts, breeders, love-struck
groupies, and a few of those very angry bulls. |
