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

[@anthonypettipas6885]

I'd put Justin McBride in there as well.

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.

[@patrickg.1170]

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

[@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"

[@bajajoes1]

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

[@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.

[@markm.769]

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

[@deemariedubois4916]

JB was my favorite. Amazing cowboy.

[@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.

[@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!!!!!!

[@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.

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

[@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.

Neither of those two are better than Mauney.

[@metalxhorror]

@@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

[@mikerobertson4041]

I see these comments about Lane Frost being the best ever. He was very good, but far from being the best. His greatest claim to fame was being killed in the arena, by a bull. No disrespect, but there are many who are better than Frost.

[@chrisfeltner]

6 mill in ask how much his er bills are

[@jimmygeorgejr8843]

Can ride????

[@Raven5150]

That announcer is full of it that bull don't care if the rider lives or dies, I dare anyone on this planet to just go in a field with a bull in it, the definition of domesticated is an animal that meats the means of a human, bulls are domesticated but there is a huge difference between domesticated and tame, there are actually 2 ropes around the bull one to hold the rider on and the other makes the bull buck and do what ever it can to get that rider off him, current laws make that back rope slightly better than it used to but back in the day that rope was tied around the bulls nuts! If you are a half ton or bigger beast with a ful grown man on your back and a rope around your nuts the bull don't care if the rider is ok his mind is more on his nuts than the rag doll trying to get a fancy belt buckle

[@LouisTabor]

I think he was killed by a bull

[@johngammon7891]

Go ask 100 old timers who the best riders are, when you ask people that ride with him their going to say him. Wonder how many of these guys were riding when Bodiacious(sp) was active, oh that's right he was retired so he wouldn't kill someone, back before the face masks & bullet proof vests...

[@Raven5150]

Bull ridding is like figure skating you get a score based on what 3 judges think you did for 8 seconds, and you don't pick the bull the bull is picked at random some times the bull just don't care and when they open the shoot it just stands there, hate to ruin the illusion of what a cow boy is, it ain't those close and a hat that serves no purpose, in history to be called a cowboy it was almost like being called the N word it was a job title not a life style and society did not treat cowboys well at all, tv and movie westerns made up the entire cowboy imime for the last 70 years, pre civil war you never wanted to be a cowboy, I know your british dude but this video is a 100% scripted lie, I never heard of this guy but if he ever rode bodacious he dis something but only 2 men ever rode him and he was from the 80s and 90s

[@vancebear5842]

[@TheBeesleys99]

I listen to learn and also give my opinion mate. Yes I may be wrong. Or I may be wafflin but that's what I do. Apologies if you dont like it but that's what I do.

[@devonmccloud528]

Crazy thing is that turns out hes not the best in the world. For years now there's been talk at all the rodeos around the country about a guy in Southern Kentucky that is supposed to be unbelievable on a bull. Hes a farmer and has no interest in riding bulls in rodeos or compete against others. He does it for fun only. That to me sounds like a very humble guy. Goes to show you CAN NOT call a person the best in the world because its not a true statement. The only way to call a person the best in the world is by lining up every person in the world and then having a contest. Theres ALWAYS somebody better out there. As good as the Kentucky guys is im sure there somebody better then him. This kid just isn't him. Haha. I would LOVE to see this Kentucky guy in action. Even better id love to see him go up against this kid who thinks he's the best bull rider and then watch him get humbled or knocked down a few levels. Haha. I dont see that happening though cause hes has no interest in doing it for a contest so to speak.

[@duckmyass]

Hardly the best bull rider. You can't really consider any of the current bull riders the best as they are all wearing protective vests, face masks, and everything else to protect themselves. The best riders are long since dead or retired and were back in the times of riding without the protective gear.

[@mattt0528]

Really? J.B. Is good, but Lane Frost and Tuff Hedeman were the greatest of all time. if Lane had not died so young, no one would even be close to him!

[@Cody2nd]

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

[@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!

[@livingandriding]

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

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.

[@t.c.white-tiger7134]

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

[@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.
