Anyone who doubts that some seconds last a lot longer than others should try riding a bull at the Tuff Hedeman Bull Riding Tour in El Paso. As in all great rodeo classics, the rider has to hang on with just one hand as the bull bucks and kicks. Some 25 contestants tried their luck and skill Saturday night in El Paso: the challenge was to ride a bull for at least eight seconds without getting thrown and without touching it with their free hand. The Tuff Hedeman Bull Riding Tour is named after a four time world bull riding champion, who today is retired. Published in Daily Times, February 19th 2019.
