Tips for Taming the Mechanical Bull A lot of first-timers have come in and tried to tame the bull. Many, to no avail. Time and time again, we’ve watched patrons confidently brace the bronco only to be bucked off within seconds, redfaced and out of breath. Here are some tips to avoid that from happening to you: Tip #1: Wear something comfortable Experts will tell you that when riding a mechanical bull, wearing something flexible will keep you on for longer. They’re right, by the way. But in our experience, removing jewellery and excess layers, and wearing tightly-secured shoes may or may not be the difference between a 4-second ride and a 30-second ride. Have a go and find out. Tip #2: Assume the right position ‘How?’ you ask. It’s simple: Mount the beast, placing one hand securely on the grip while using your free hand to aid in balance. It’s a common misconception that riders must clutch the bull as tightly as they can to stay on for longer. While it’s best to keep your legs firm against the bull’s side, clutching too tightly can hinder your mobility. The trick is finding the sweet spot. Good luck! Tip #3: Don’t fight the bull! Try not to look at the bull as an opponent. The beast is your partner, your steed. Once the bull starts, allow your body to flow in rhythm with its movements. Relax your joints and go with the flow.
