I was in Las Vegas during the National Finals Rodeo a few years ago and Bodacious was literally the talk of the town!

Don't know how if or when anybody completed a ride but a few years ago the $100 nightly prize money for staying on was over $30000.

Bodacious died of a cholic a couple of years ago, but he was absolutely the toughest bull to come along in 30 years.

He had a high kick, then, in the jump, he would sling his head back. He broke three jaws, and almost rearranged Tuff Hedeman's face when he slammed him at the National Finals in 1997. Sammy Andrews, his owner, retired him two days later, afraid that he might actually kill somebody.
