👉 Bucking in the context of Jaripeo

The word Jaripeo (Spanish: [xaɾiˈpeo] ) refers to a form of rodeo, particularly bull riding practiced in some Latin American countries.

In Mexico, mainly in the country's central and southern regions, jaripeo refers to the bull-riding events where bucking bulls are attempted to be ridden until they tire and stop bucking or until they buck off their riders. American-style bull riding, where riders attempt to stay mounted on bucking bulls for only eight seconds before dismounting is also practiced in Mexico. However, it is more common in the country's northern regions.

Bucking in the context of Bull riding

Bull riding is a rodeo sport that involves a rider getting on a bucking bull and attempting to stay mounted while the animal tries to buck off the rider.

American bull riding has been called "the most dangerous eight seconds in sports." To receive a score, the rider must stay on top of the bull for eight seconds with the use of one hand gripped on a bull rope tied behind the bull's forelegs. Touching the bull or themselves with the free hand, or failing to reach the eight-second mark, results in a no-score ride. Depending on the bull riding organization and the contest, up to four judges might judge the rider and four judge the bull on their performance. For most organizations, a perfect score is 100 points. In general, most professional riders score in the neighborhood of the mid-70s to the high 80s.
