HUNTSVILLE, AL (WAFF) -

Saturday night, 35 of the World's best bull riders saddled up to compete against the fiercest bucking bulls from around the World at the Von Braun Center.

Each competitor had to stay on the bucking bull for at least eight seconds. The bull-riding tour will make 29 stops in 23 states this year.

One rider said it can get a little tough to stay on for just that little time.

"It's man against beast really. You got 150 pound guys competing against 2,000 pound animals just trying to stay on their backs for eight seconds. It's pretty tough when you got the best bulls in the world it and it's pretty tough," said Billy Robinson, a professional bull rider.

The organization began in 1992.
