Join Dylan Winter on his quest across American and Canada to discover why perfectly ordinary young men hunker down on the back of a bull and try to stay there for eight seconds – the longest eight seconds in their lives.

On the way you’ll experience almost every element of the rodeo way of life. It starts young, with thrill-seeking infants in the ‘pee-wee goat tying’ events and very juvenile ‘mutton-busters’. Then there’s superb riding by young women in the pole-bending and barrel-racing competitions. Trials for real cowboys include team sorting, penning and loading as well as a lot of throwing and tying. The Big Man event – steer wrestling – isn’t for the faint-hearted. Bare-back riding, saddle riding and the most dangerous sport in the world – bull riding – provide thrilling finales. Dylan’s interviews with riders, breeders and rodeo families get to the source of the bull-rider’s motivation – it’s in the blood.
