Las Vegas: It’s man versus beast at April 19 bull-riding championships
It will be man versus beast when many of the nation’s best bull riders gather in Las Vegas on April 19.
Starting at 8 p.m. that day, 24 cowboys will compete for $30,000 in prize money during the Tuff Hedeman Shootout (named for four-time world champion Tuff Hedeman) at Las Vegas’ South Point Arena.
During three rounds of competition, riders will try to stay atop angry bulls for eight seconds. Prize money will also be awarded to the owners of the bulls most capable of quickly tossing their riders to the ground.
Participants will be hoping to advance to the Championship Bull Riding World Finals scheduled for July 21 in Cheyenne, Wyo.
Although most seats are already sold, $60 tickets are still available.
