How to ride a mechanical bull
How I did it: i worked at a fair and the guy across the way let me ride hundreds of times over a two week period. he taught me technique and style...since then i have ridden countless bars and fairs...
Lessons & tips: your strong hand goes under the rope, palm up. get as far foreward as you can on the bull. my crotch actually its touching my hold hand. your free hand is in the air to allow for balance. squeeze your thighs tightly around the bull, and try to let your upper body be loose. nod to the operator and hold on tight. when the bull head goes down, throw your upper body back. when the bulls head goes up, throw your upper body weight foreward.when you get the hang of that, you can do the same thing with your feet, but in the oppisite direction.try to picture your ass nailed to the bull..a drink or two will help you stay upper body loose...a hat makes the outfit fun, plus it helps some people to hold the hat in their free hand
