Picture yourself sitting on the edge of your see waiting to see if that cowboy makes that 8-second ride.  The buzzer hits and he's got the ride, the anticipation grows as you wait to see the score. That's the anticipation of bull riding.  You cheer on those tough bull riders and hope they make it to the buzzer, and you applaud those who don't quite make it.

You gasp if the cowboy gets hung up or the bull charges the cowboy once he's off, and cheer as the bullfighters distract that ton of a beast.  Then laugh when the Rodeo Clown entertains between rides.
