Bull riding is a dangerous sport and Billy Bob’s requires competitors to be pro or semi-pro athletes with a valid membership from a recognized Bull Riders sanctioning organization such as your state rodeo association, PBR, or PRCA. Bulls generally weigh 1,800-2,000 pounds compared to the weight of most bull riders at 150 pounds. You can’t just have a few beers and ride a bull or dare your buddy to ride at Billy Bob’s!

You must have a valid membership from a recognized Bull Riders sanctioning organization such as your state rodeo association, PBR, or PRCA to participate in the bull riding competition at Billy Bob’s on Friday/Saturday nights.  Advance entries should be made by emailing doublerrodeo@yahoo.com.
