Bull Riding's back at the Eriksdale Rec Centre this weekend, as the 24th edition of the Boneyard General Repair Boyz and Bullz makes its return on Saturday.
It's going to be a highly competitive event as it's Bull Riders Canada's last stop of the regular season, and first place is still up for grabs. Event Producer Ben Kinkead says they're expecting some really exciting action.
"We've got the top two bull riders in the national standing in a back-and-forth battle for the season leader, or number one position. We've also got the rookie of the year race that's being highly contested by two or three up-and-coming bull riders. As well, the bubble bull riders who are working to get into the top 20 for the Sylvan Lake Alberta Finals which are in mid-November."
This year's event might look a bit different than the past, as Kinkead says they have a new layout at the rink.
"We've actually got a new layout planned for the event, within the ice surface of the arena, allowing us some new features and additions. One of those is gonna be the first time for the Party in the Dirt following the bull riding."
Tickets get you into the bull riding and the Party in the Dirt. They're $30 dollars for adults, $20 for ages 13 - 17, $10 for ages 6 - 12, and Free for kids five and under. If you can't make it as there is a pay-per-view live stream of the event on CommStream. Event details, including the link to purchase the live stream, can be found here.
