"The Ride" is an eight-part docuseries that dives into the guts of PBR TEAM SERIES of the Professional Bull Riders league. It doesn’t just show you the shiny bits—the cheers, the scores, the bulls bucking around like drunk poets in a bar fight. This one digs deeper. You get the sweat, the fear, the moments in between where these guys patch themselves up and get ready to ride again.

It’s not about the glory, it’s about the grind, the bones snapping. This isn’t some overproduced highlight reel; it's life on the edge of disaster, where the bulls are bigger, the stakes are higher, and these riders? They’re just trying to stay in one piece long enough to make it to the next damn day. These cowboys, they aren’t out there for fame, they’re out there to wrestle with 2,000-pound monsters and see if their bones don’t snap in half.

You get a guy like Chase Outlaw — that’s his real name, and his injury list reads like a death sentence. Yet, he's still out there getting tossed around like a ragdoll, because there’s no way he’s walking away. Or Ezekiel Mitchell, one of the few Black riders, fighting bulls and stereotypes in a sport where you either hang on or get eaten alive.

It’s ugly. It’s brutal. And they love it. No divas, just a bunch of guys who know pain is the price for being alive. Hell, even their wives are in the stands, flinching every time they get launched into the dirt. But that’s the thing—this isn’t about glory, it’s about doing the thing nobody else will.

"The Ride" captures all that grit, all that madness. These guys aren’t polished athletes; they’re just regular dudes with a death wish and a deep respect for each other. And somehow, despite the insanity, they remain the most humble, grounded souls you’ve ever seen.

Watch it on Amazon Prime Video if you want to feel alive—or at least like you still have all your bones intact.
