“The Ride” on Amazon Prime Adds Unimaginable Depth to the Sport of Professional Bull Riding
April 14, 2025 – Amazon Prime Video’s docuseries “The Ride” is redefining the way viewers see professional bull riding, pulling back the curtain on one of the most grueling and misunderstood sports in the world.
With raw emotion, jaw-dropping action, and behind-the-scenes access to PBR (Professional Bull Riders) stars, The Ride doesn’t just tell a story — it immerses fans into the heart-pounding chaos of eight seconds on top of 2,000 pounds of fury. From devastating injuries to emotional breakthroughs, the series captures the highs and lows of athletes whose livelihood hinges on courage, grit, and a deep bond with danger.
Critics and fans alike are calling the show “a must-watch,” praising its ability to showcase the human side of a sport often seen only for its spectacle. The show not only documents bull riding — it elevates it, exposing the sacrifices, mental battles, and sheer toughness required to live life eight seconds at a time.
For many, The Ride has made the unimaginable struggles of the profession feel real, relatable, and incredibly raw. In doing so, it’s drawing a new wave of respect — and a wider audience — to the dirt-covered world of PBR.
As one viewer put it: “You don’t just watch The Ride. You feel it.”
Whether you’re a long-time rodeo fan or a newcomer to the sport, this series is a reminder that behind every ride is a story — and The Ride tells them like never before.
