BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KGET) -- It's called the most dangerous eight seconds in sports, and it's definitely not for the faint of heart. The "Professional Bull Riders - Velocity Tour" kicked off at the Mechanics Bank Arena on Jan. 18 in front of a packed crowd.

"We like the sport. This is very exciting," said Melanie Swaim. "We've been coming since as long as I can remember." Some call it the toughest sport on dirt, but most fans call it something else. "I think it's semi crazy," said Lance Swaim. "I think they have a lot of fun, maybe doing it because it's like a roller coaster ride. You go on one and you always want that next rush." Every rider risks their life to be the best, including Aaron Williams, a professional bull rider from Pismo Beach. Williams started his rodeo days when he was in diapers. "I couldn't see myself doing anything else for a living," said Williams. "I started on sheep, mutton busting and been going ever since." Mutton busting is an event where children ride sheep instead of bulls. It all started at a family outing when Williams was three years old.

Twenty-five years later, the Pismo Beach cowboy went from mutton busting to professional bull riding. "This is a great event," said Williams. "It's a great crowd, and it's good to be in front of a home state crowd because there ain't no party like a West Coast party."
