Bucking wild time at bull ride
OVER 1,000 people turned out to Simmo’s Arena in Biboohra on Saturday night for the Biboohra Bull Ride, raising money for the Indie Rose Foundation.
Nearly $10,000 in prize money was dished out to riders over the bullride as they competed in front of the 1,000 strong crowd.
Only three bull riders managed to hold on during the open bull ride and secure podium positions with Jake Bowen coming out on top with 81 points.
He was closely followed by Luke Smith on 78 points and tailed by Braydon Wellby on 67 points.
A Biboohra Bullride Association spokesperson said the crowd was incredibly well behaved and dialled into the event.
“Out of 50 riders 30 of them were juniors which is always a good sign,” she said.
“We were extremely pleased with how the bull ride turned out, everyone was well behaved and the overall turnout was good.
“It was a really settled crowd which was unusual for us but it was a good family orientated environment.”
