Tackles and takedowns are about as dangerous as most sports get these days, but there’s one sport more precarious than the rest: bull riding. Often thought of as the most dangerous eight seconds in sports, bull riding requires athletes to stay mounted atop a bull as it kicks back and forth, attempting to throw the rider to the dirt. That danger is coming to the Inland Northwest for the fifth time as the PBR (Professional Bull Riders, not to be confused with Pabst Blue Ribbon) Pendleton Whisky Velocity Tour bucks its way into Spokane. Watch as some of the best bull riders in the world and emerging talent go toe-to-toe with the fiercest bovine competitors that this country has to offer. This two-day event is the last, and only, stop in the Inland Northwest until the tour ends in May, so it’s a must see for any adrenaline junkies or rodeo fans.
