Fried Twinkies, Buckle Bunnies, & Bull Riders
Fried Twinkies, Buckle Bunnies, & Bull Riders: A Year Inside the Professional Bull Riders Tour | Josh Peter
1 post | 1 read | 1 to read
In Fried Twinkies, Buckle Bunnies, & Bull Riders, award-winning sports journalist Josh Peter takes readers along on the Professional Bull Riders tour to witness the death-defying confrontation between man and beast that has made bull riding the fastest growing sport in the world. Success in this sport is measured in seconds-staying on a bull for 8 seconds without getting tossed is likely to secure the rider a big score. Josh Peter captures the high drama of the sport and introduces readers to a culture that's rife with colorful characters: courageous riders, scouts, breeders, love-struck groupies, and a few of those very angry bulls.

I found this engaging even if it didn‘t live up to its title. The focus was almost solely on the competition in the 2004 season and some of the behind the scenes happenings in the PBR. That was enough for me especially with the theme being a wily old veteran vs a pack of upstarts. The book didn‘t delve much into the subculture around the sport in terms of quirky fans, groupies, or questionable food. Respect to the riders who are tough as hell!

TheAromaofBooks When we were kids, my grandparents had cable & we used to watch rodeo competitions when we were there on Sunday afternoons. We got way into the different horses and bulls 😂 3y
JoeMo That sounds awesome…I think that was the one bit of the country western culture my grandfather wasn‘t into. We would sit around watching the Grand Ole Opry and shows like Hee Haw all day!!😂 3y
