Running With The Bulls Made Even More Dangerous

Lasso one and get towed on a skateboard. UPDATE: Roller blades.

Might be considered not nice to the bulls, but maybe the fact that the "Skating with the bulls" guy is probably gonna get the worst of it might mitigate the finger wagging a bit.

I know bullfighting is cruel if you hurt them, but those running bulls look like they're having fun so I'll put this on the "Eh, maybe" column. If the bulls like it I'm down with it.

       Got my bun [+].   

       Replace lasso with bungee cord and the bull can play paddleball.

       Hey, if I were a bull I'd be all about it. I mean, how fun would it be to drag a guy on a bungee cord and slam him into every lamppost, street light and stop sign on the street? (If you're a bull I mean)

       I see a trendy Olympic event of exciting social media challenges here. Successful participants will spend a day sitting in ice water while consuming Tide Pods, Benadryl, salt, Everclear and those little white desiccant packets that say Do Not Eat. By evening anyone still around can choose either the lasso or the bungee cord (but not both) for a ten mile joyride through Downtown.

       Swingsets must be involved somehow.

       Real men chain themselves to two bulls and race each other like pod racers.

       Ya know, at first this was kind of a joke, but I'd absolutely want to watch that. Now the argument against this would be "It's an incredibly bad idea and really dangerous." The counter argument might be "You mean like letting a bunch of pissed off bulls run wild in the streets of Spain and crowds of people running around those streets at the same time?"

       Why must we travel to Spain? Couldn't we instigate this in LA?
whatrock, Jan 13 2026
  

       I'd be down. Literally, I'd drive down.

       "Now THAT'S pod racing !"

       If you're on a skateboard attached by a rope, isn't the pointy dangerous part of the bull facing and moving in the opposite direction? Normally, falling while running is bad because the bulls will trample/skewer you. In this scenario, you fall off, and the danger moves away?
bs0u0155, Jan 15 2026
  

       Theoretically you take that into consideration and when the bull runs at you, you jump to the side matador style and get behind ht. That's why whatrock's bungie cord would be a must because without that elasticity the bull just moves his head he pulls the rope out of your hands.   

       But would it still be incredibly dangerous? Ohhh yea.   

       UPDATE: Gotta be roller blades, no way you could do that maneuvering while keeping with a skateboard.
