Bull Riding Near the Mouse

PBR Anaheim InvitationalThe PBR bucks their way into Anaheim this weekend for three days of bull riding at the Honda Center. 45 riders will compete for over $125,000 in prize money distributed in a number of mano-a-toro showdowns.

A new feature for this year's three-day competitions, the PBR has added a "draft" on Saturdays where riders get to select their bulls based on how they performed the previous night. The event is free and open to the public, allowing you to talk with your favorite riders. Ask them if Reindeer Dippin makes them soil their chaps ... or ridicule somebody for picking an easy bull.

OK, it's actually a really bad idea to pick a fight with a professional bull rider (don't do it!) ... but you get the idea. They've probably got some cool stories (or wounds) to share. The draft goes down at the ESPN Zone in Downtown Disney at 11:00am on Saturday.

For tickets to the actual competition, go to the PBR's website. If you can't make it past the Orange Curtain, they'll be broadcasting locally on KNBC at 1:30pm on Saturday.

You've got to love any event that provides employment for those old-school monster truck commercial announcers.
