If you want to attract the opposite sex at the party, you should know a little skills on how to ride a mechanical bull first to avoid embarrassing yourself! If this is your first time to ride an inflatable rodeo bull, you may to know the bull can do only three things: buck, spin and change direction. All you need to do is keep yourself stay on the bull as long as you can. Here are some useful ways for you to have fun with a mechanical bull.

1. Mount the mechanical bull

You can see the bottom floor of the mechanical bull is a large inflatable mattress, so you don't need to be afraid of falling off. Sit on the bull, and then wrap one of your hands around the rope or bar. Use your dominant to ensure you have a good grip, sometimes you can wear a glove. Hold your free hand up in the air for balance in an "L" shape. You may want to hold a cowboy hat in your free hand and wave it around, not only looks cool, but also can really help you stay on the bull.

2. Get into position

The control is not only on the one hand you're holding on with, you should slide your bottom forward until your forearm is resting in the crook between your hip and your thigh. Squeeze the bull with your legs as tight as you can to minimize movement. Dig your heels into the side of the bull, as if you had stirrups, with your toes pointed outward, like you were turning out in ballet. This will allow you to use your hamstrings and gluteus maximus to hold on to the mechanical bull rather than just the inside of your thighs. Keep in mind that do not pigeon toe your feet into the bull because your roes do not have any strength.

And then keep your upper body loose and relaxed, if you keep it stiff, the mechanical bull operator can easily swing you off the bull. The key is always keep your upper body straight up and down, imagine a vertical line moving up from the floor through the bull, your hand and your nose.

3. See-saw with the bull

When the mechanical bull goes up and down, you should shift your weight to keep balance. For example, if the bull goes up with head up and rear down, lean your upper body forward but shift your weight in your pelvic area down, if the bull goes down with head down and rear up, lean back and shift your pelvic area up just a bit. Repeat this back and forth motion as the bull speeds up. Remember that maintain a straight up-and-down posture and a firm grip with your lower body. If you sit rigidly, you'll be thrown off very quick and basically you will either fall off to the side or go over the front. It is almost impossible to fall off the back end of a mechanical bull.

4. Rotate with the bull

In addition to go up and down, sometimes the mechanical bull will also go left, right and circles. You need to try to lean in the opposite way when the mechanical bull spins in circles. Find the center-line of the bull's spine and keep your body centered to the inside of the bull's spin. Riding a mechanical bull is just oppositions, if you can deal with the bucks and spins and changes of direction, you can master the mechanical bull!

5. Stay on the bull as long as you can

The operator is going to make the bull go wild to swing you off. If you are a woman, you might have an easier time staying on the bull, not because you are more skillful, it's just to extend the show because many men enjoy watching a woman ride the bull so the operator might go a little easier on you. Riding a mechanical bull for 8 to 10 seconds will look good for any men and women, you can use your free hand to communicate to the operator if you can't go no more before you are thrown off.
