The Art of Mechanical Bull Riding

Everything is opposite when riding a mechanical bull. Besides needing thighs of steel and arms of rubber, you're supposed to only hold on with one hand...the one hand you're not really dominant in. You're also supposed to squeeze your thighs against the side of the bull when it's trying to spin and throw you across the room. Also, if it dips down, you have to sit up, if it pulls back, you have to lean forward.

I now have bruises all along my thighs, thanks to learning how to ride a mechanical bull.
