Neil Holmes Might Be The Last Black Bull Rider In The South (Documentary)
July 13, 2018
In case you didn’t know, roughly a fourth of the cowboys of old were Black. Today though, the world of professional bull riding, a sport rooted in ranching culture, is predominantly White. And when Neil Holmes leaves… even more so.
On this episode of ‘MINORITY REPORTS,’ VICE sent Lee Adams to Texas to meet Neil Holmes and Ezekiel Mitchell—two Black bull riders at different points in their careers—to find out what it’s like as a person of color trying to make it in the predominantly White world of professional bull riding. Holmes—an accomplished pro on the eve of his retirement—explains how he got into bull riding and talks about leaving the sport as the only Black pro ranked in the top 100 bull riders. Desperately trying to fill Holmes’s shoes is Mitchell, who’s struggled with the funds to travel, and has experienced racism in the sport first-hand.

Chad Ochocinco’s Big Wide Eyed Bull Ride In Atlanta (Video)
May 16, 2011
I have to give him props for even trying to do this…..forget trying to stay on for 8 seconds. Having the heart to even get on that powerful 1,500 pound beast shows you have to have some ‘Walnuts’ to do it. I’d bet almost anything Marvin Lewis & the Cincinnati Bengals will trade Chad Ochocinco to another team at this point. Yeeeeee Haaaaaaaaa!
