Samantha Brown Learns to Ride a Bull in Dallas

I didn’t sleep well the night before I was to ride a bull.

I envisioned a 1.5 ton beast bucking little ol’ me off its back like it was nothing. Thankfully, this ride was a little more peaceful than my nightmare. These cowboys started me out on the rodeo equivalent of a green circle– that’s to say, the most relaxed bull on the market. I felt like I was touring Dallas on the bovine of SUVs. The only problem? This one was essentially a self-driving vehicle. Thank goodness everything stayed under control.

Check out the video to see how the whole thing went down. And if riding the real thing seems too scary, ride a mechanical one at Gilley’s!
