OutKick gets in the cage at California’s wild Professional Bull Riding showcase
'Last Cowboy Standing' host Kate Harrison gives an inside look into the PBR series airing on Fox Nation and what viewers can expect during 'Fox & Friends Weekend.'
ANAHEIM, Calif. – Hold on with TWO hands if you ever find yourself at a Professional Bull Riding event.
The pyrotechnics, featuring up-close action with nearly 2,000-lb. bucking bulls, and the riders holding on for dear life — feverishly waiting to hit eight seconds — all make for a spectacle you should see at least once in your life.
FOX Nation streamed Friday's event in association with PBR, giving OutKick an inside look at the "Toughest Sport on Dirt."

Friday night (Sept. 6) marked Day 1 of PBR's weekend stay in California, which is a joke in itself — and was teased during the show.
Bull riding … seen as an All-American sport … visiting the coast?
C'mon now, partner.
Anaheim, Nashville, or the Bermuda Triangle — the PBR showcase is one hell of a watch.
WATCH:
Sure, there's a points system that'll take two reads on a pamphlet to fully grasp. But you'll be forgiven for forgetting those rules and just staring at the massive beasts bucking and twisting, while riders — most under six feet and less than 200 lbs. — desperately try to hang on.
The riders were fearless.
They’re the kind of men who pray before the event, necks bowed to their chest in full praise to the Lord, then charge out to conquer a bull.
PBR’s been packing arenas since ’92.
The job is "simple": ride for eight seconds. Scoring runs up to 100 points — 50 for how well the bull bucks, 50 for how well the rider handles it. And in the Team Series, those rides add up for five-man squads battling city vs. city.
That’s how you get
