British Guy Reacts to The Best Bull Rider of All Time: J.B. Mauney

[@jason686361able]

JB he's not for championships he's to be remembered for slaying the rankest bulls

[@mildbill2806]

A mighty big Howdy from Texas. Many thanks for your reaction. This is the best way to educate folks around the world about this sport.

[@TheBeesleys99]

Appreciate the interaction mate! Really enjoyed it and will deffo check out more!

​@@TheBeesleys99 you can pronounce it as money

[@nelskristensen5437]

Usually I don’t like reaction videos but this one is really good I like how someone that is from a whole continent that has almost no interest in rodeos, you actually tell us about it and actually understand it which I love

[@TheBeesleys99]

Always open to new sports and try to always be logical in my videos. Appreciate you enjoying it mate and I will deffo check more out!

[@Dragon-Believer]

@@TheBeesleys99 Being lighter is an advantage. You are basically getting thrown around so you're fighting your own body weight. It's about strength to weight ratio and balance. Like he said.

[@RyneMurray23]

JB is an absolute legend. He's at the end of his career, but for a long time he beat the hell out of his body riding the craziest bulls. Riding them better than anyone else ever could.

[@justinholloway1005]

The best bull riders for me is Lane Frost, Ty Murry, Tuff hedimen.

[@braydenskidgel8365]

Then jb but yea lane wAs one of the best

[@anthonypettipas6885]

I'd put Justin McBride in there as well.

[@chademorgan2123]

Jose victor leme Jess Lockwood

[@williamedwards9286]

Tuff. 16 seconds for Lane. Incredible!

[@GLJ94]

Wade Leslie on Wolfman is the only know 100 point ride so i say he is the best, that said Lane Ty and Tuff were my heroes as a kid

[@Kaya084]

I was in the stands the night he rode bushwhacker. It was amazing.

[@pitgroove.37_66]

I want to give you a warm howdy and welcome to the sport of bull riding. I always love seeing people from outside the rodeo community pique their interest in this kind of activity. By the way, his last name is pronounced "moo-nee"

[@chrismorin1318]

The sport of bullriding is ever changing. It's hard to compare the old school to the new. Back in the day everything was rough from the stock to the cowboys. Then you've got the era that JB came in, some added safety features and the start of good breeding and health of the bulls. Today's bullriders have the elite training and medical staff, but the bull power is bred into them with bloodlines to make them the best as well as their feeding, exercise, and medical care. There are still good bulls that come by it naturally, same with the cowboys. But it's becoming a hybridized sport. I'll always love watching it though!

[@garrettwilliams5340]

Hey thank you SO MUCH for acknowledging cowboys of America

[@tee1up785]

Ol JB! Super puncher! 🤜🐮! Great reaction video.

[@cheryla7480]

The opening scenes are from The Calgary Stampede, in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. It’s one of the biggest rodeos in the world.

[@dukeshults9712]

Practice doesn't make perfect..it makes permanent!!!

[@kodyyoung5409]

You should check out some of the best bulls in the PBR they are incredible and are just as famous if not more than the actual riders

[@Cody2nd]

They defiantly make a lot more money that’s for sure haha

[@bajajoes1]

J.B., YOUR DAUGHTER IS FORTUNATE TO HAVE A FATHER LIKE YOU. U R A GOOD MAN.

[@deanfirnatine7814]

Just an FYI the people that criticize roping cattle have no idea why we do it, most of the time it is to doctor the cattle, give them their shots or tend to an injury hopefully before it gets infected, cattle raised on an open 5000 acres ranch just do not come up to you like a dog and let you tend to them. I think there will be more non cowboys in the sport but I think cowboys will always dominate it because few others understand what it takes or just how brutal it is, few non cowboys will be able to take it, I have also seen non cowboys take up the sport and the next thing you know they are buying a ranch and diving in head first into the business.

[@deemariedubois4916]

JB was my favorite. Amazing cowboy.

[@Welchoutdoors88]

Don't forget about lil Chris shivers that boy could ride

[@chadking2346]

please keep doing reaction videos like this loved it

[@gregmyers6818]

Keep seeing comments talking bout "yeah he's good but Lane Frost is the best ever" or Ty Murray, or Tuff Hedeman, and don't get me wrong those dudes are all in the discussion but I feel like the people that are saying this just know they've heard those names and don't really know much else about it. To say that Mauney isn't in the argument as one of the best to ever do it is just ridiculous, he's a f'n stud and the fact that he has been doing it at the level he's at for as long as he has just speaks to how good he really is.

[@angelamiller6275]

And, he stands on that ball in COWBOY BOOTS!!

[@markm.769]

I liked Lane Frost, the only person to ever ride the legendary bull Red Rock and did it 4 out 7 times.

[@willrobinson4976]

Enjoyed the video, nice.

[@TheBeesleys99]

Appreciate it mate!

[@patrickg.1170]

Football, Basketball, Baseball, NASCAR, etc. JB is my favorite athlete hands down. Followed his entire career.

[@sodalines]

that first bull he road on in the video, was an un ridable bull. nobody could ride him. he jb did it without a helmet. I like him becuase he is 100% cowboy in and out of the rodeo arena.

[@elanolliff8855]

You should check.out the National Finals Rodeo. It's a full Rodeo so it has all 7 events (Bareback Riding, Steer Wrestling, Team Roping, Saddle Bronc Riding, Tie Down Roping, Barrel Racing, and Bull Riding). It's part of the PRCA (Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association) and is regarded as the super bowl of Rodeo.

[@treysims708]

Got to meet him and watch him ride back in August 2023, he’s a down to earth guy. That night on his second ride he broke his leg. The bull crushed his leg in the chute. Now he’s retired after a neck injury. Definitely gonna miss him riding. He’s in the books as a legend and legends never die.

[@efjefe]

Where i live our community has a baseball and football field next to a rodeo ring. Super fun tim. I love rodeos

[@demongamer3688]

I used to do bull riding done it most my life but I got scared of the bulls and I went to steer wrestling and I don't regret it I fell in love with steer wrestling

[@BobbyTunes88]

While I am from Texas....my passion was car racing, and there are many similar attitudes to be drawn between the 2 sports. Both of them take an ABSOLUTE focus, and a measure of fearlessness, and some luck, and as they say "you cant count on luck....but luck counts! Im now 74 years old and can barely walk because of my activities, and the ONLY thing I can say that makes bullriding "safer"....is that Ive never seen a bull catch on fire!!!!!!

[@wesscox8374]

His last name is pronounced (Moon-ey)

[@lowes891646]

Yup.

[@eltorro1990]

You don't know what it's like only being 30 years old and just having that one jar in the pantry that just isn't getting opened.

[@Bearfacts01]

Bull riding is a life style of freedom! Freedom to know you made it on your own!

[@valhopeless856]

They do a thing called mutton bustin where they put little kids on sheep. Definitely worth a watch.

[@sephuris5555]

Mr. JB Mauney was my all time favorite rider when I was a kid

[@deannacauley166]

6:10 what a great video you got JB Mooney and Jesse Byrne Jesse Byrne is one of the best bullfighters in the world

[@Bearfacts01]

JB is a legend and Irish! Most of the cowboys are of Scot-Irish descent and the others are from South America.

[@RitaBowen1]

My son was a bull rider he was pretty good at it scared the s**t out of me, but he loved it. JB is a North Carolina boy. Homegrown and biscuit feed

[@donaldendean4188]

You got to check out a bull named Bodacious he was a mean bull .

[@jimjackson5544]

A lot of the Pro Bull Riders got their start way back when they were between 6 and 8 years old with what is called "Mutton Busting: where they lay on the back of a Sheep and hold onto it's fur and then the adults let it go and the clock starts and they try to hold on as long as they can. The slowly move up to Saddle Bronc Ridding, then in Hight School, into Bull Ridding. (A lot of the High Schools in the South and Western States have Rodeo Teams.)

[@StacyBaldwin-qv5cj]

You should do a video on theost feared bull in PBR, Bodacious. Out of 135 people who tried to ride him, 127 got bucked off. When a lot of people heard they drew him they just said nope. When that bull stomps you, it aint no accident, he ment to do it.

[@dreamweaver1603]

This would be a better Olympic event than some others I could name.

[@Casey28027]

He’s from my neck of the woods in Charlotte, NC.

[@grouchyoldpatriot]

I have been following rodeo and bull riding ever since I saw Freckles Brown ride in 1973. I even competed in high school in bare back bronc riding, and team roping. I admit, J.B. is a good bull rider. A real good bull rider. That being said, he isn't half the bull rider Lane Frost was.

[@frame3139]

You’re nuts, to say JB isn’t half the rider Frost was only shows your lack of objectivity

[@grouchyoldpatriot]

There's more to being a great bull rider (Hell, a great cowboy) than the quality of rough stock you swing your leg across or toss a rope at. Lane graduated from Atoka H.S in '83. I graduated in '82. I knew him and Cody......hell, I even 2-stepped a few songs with Kelly at street dances. We rodeo'd before flak jackets, helmets, face masks, and wrist braces. (Not saying they wouldnt have been a good idea). It was just a different time and different breed of cowboy back then. It was more about the people and the sport, than the glitz and glamorous. If you enjoy PBR, good for you. As for me, I'll take a good old fashioned county fair rodeo any day. Maybe I'm a biased old boomer......but I stand by my assertion.

[@riverrat2350]

[@samanthamyers4267]

I would say he's the best currently, but my pick would be Ty Murray or Justin McBride for best ever.

[@Berserker-lw6kd]

JB was the last real cowboy in bull riding, he picked the rankest nastiest bulls every time

I don't know if you have reacted to the bull Bodacious. We knew the people who breed Bo and sold him for rodeo. That is what they did bred bulls for rodeo. JB is totally right that no one controls the bulls they ride them and hopefully respect them. Love you and your girl. Hope your married life is long and overall happy. We've been married almost 50 yrs and everyday isn't a picnic but just like bull riding if all depends on how much you work at it and how bad you want it

Another great video man, in fact in a way it motivated me to keep trying and training hard. Definitely check out Lane Frost, he's my inspiration for riding and a very important figure in rodeo. Unfortunately he passed away young but be left a big mark for those who love the sport like myself. Jose Vitor Leme is also great if you want to see some awesome rides. Here's a link of one of the best videos I can find about Lane. kzbin.info/www/bejne/m5_NkGOPg814kLs

@@gregmyers6818 Lane Frost was the best. J.B. Is the current best

[@gregmyers6818]

@@metalxhorror i don't mean any disrespect to Lane, he was my idol as a young'un. I got family that rodeod with him a time or two, my mom knew him on a friendly level, but the caliber of bulls is different now. At his time, he was a stud, no question. I just think JB coulda covered every bull Lane ever got on and not had much trouble, I don't think Lane could have done the same with the bulls JB has been on. Lane was iconic, he was the kinda cowboy, bullrider and star that the rodeo world needed to bring it to the masses. He was an immensely talented bull rider. I just don't think he was on the same level as JB. If im being completely honest with myself, I think Tuff was a better bull rider than Lane, tho you'll never hear Tuff say that, hell most people wouldn't say it. But that's just my opinion. I've been wrong plenty of times about plenty of things, but that's just my feelings on the matter
