Bull Riders in Times Square

Friday, 15 October 2010 | by Pat's Picks

I arrived at the Nasdaq Marketsite in Times Square today to do my usual Friday business report for BNN, and there was a bull riding arena filling an entire block along Broadway. The Professional Bull Riders tour came to New York for an event that will be telecast on CBS on Sunday, October 17.

Being the veteran of the Calgary Stampede that I am, I’ve seen this before. But it’s a pretty amazing view from the windows at the Nasdaq.

The PBR gathered its 10 top riders for the Times Square event: Silvano Alves, Shane Proctor, Travis Briscoe, McKennon Wimberly, Robson Palermo, Mike Lee, Ryan McConnel, Valdiron de Oliveira, J.B. Mauney and top-ranked Austin Meier.
