episode description

Bull riding is one of the fastest growing, and most dangerous, sports in the world. In this investigation, Mariana van Zeller dives deep into the cowboy culture of bull riding. We travel from the youth events of West Texas, to the cattle ranches of British Columbia, and finally on to New York City and Las Vegas, for the biggest events on the professional tour. Along the way we'll meet JB Mauney, a two-time world champion, Evan, an eight-year-old rider hoping to one day turn pro, and Ty Pozzobon, the Canadian superstar who lost his life after a series of concussions. What drives these cowboys to risk their lives by getting on the back of a 2,000-pound animal and are the people in charge doing enough to protect these young riders?
