Jerome Davis Explains Why Bodacious Was So Dangerous

Jerome Davis and Tiffany Davis look back on the legendary bucking bull Bodacious, one of the most famous and dangerous bulls in rodeo history. From Tuff Hedeman’s brutal wreck at the PBR World Finals to Scott Breding trying to ride Bodacious with one of the first protective masks Jerome had ever seen, this story shows just how different bull riding was before helmets and protective vests became common. Jerome also reflects on getting on Bodacious four times, the way the bull learned to hit riders in the face, and why that era of professional bull riding was so dangerous. Along the way, Jerome and Tiffany talk about the old NFR draw at the Gold Coast, Tuff’s promise to his son, and how bull riding safety changed after riders faced bulls like Bodacious.
