Bull riding is the most dangerous event for the rodeo contestants, and because of its excitement, it is a favourite event for the spectators. The bulls weigh a minimum of 1200 pounds. Contestants know these unpredictable animals may decide to approach looking for their rider, after the dismount. With erratic bucking, violent twists and leaps, these bulls challenge the toughest of competitor to stay on for six-seconds. The bull's loose skin makes staying aboard difficult. A leather-gloved hand hanging on to the heavy rope that encircles the bull is the rider's only way to maintain position. As in all the rugged stock riding events, Men and Women both operate only 1 hand. Touching the equipment, the bull, or themselves with the free hand, or using the free hand to hang on (double-grab), results in a disqualification. Points available are the identical for all rough stock riding events. Two judges each score 0 to 25 points for the animal's power and bucking pattern, and 1 to 25 points for the rider's form, control, and spurring action. The maximum score is 100 points
