-

 JB Mauney, one of the most legendary bull riders in history, emphasizes the importance of mastering chute procedure as a foundation for successful bull riding. He teaches that the chute is where preparation meets execution, and a rider's focus must be unwavering. Mauney advises riders to check their gear meticulously, ensuring their rope is securely fastened and their grip is firm but flexible. He highlights the importance of positioning, instructing riders to sit squarely on the bull, keeping their legs tight against its sides while maintaining balance. Timing is crucial, and Mauney stresses waiting for the bull to settle before nodding for the gate to open. His approach underlines the need for calmness, precision, and mental readiness, as the moments in the chute set the tone for the entire ride. By mastering these fundamentals, riders can enhance their control and confidence as they face the challenges of the arena.



The Basics of Chute Procedure: Detailed Points

1. Securing the Bull Rope

  • Ensure the bull rope is properly positioned across the bull’s back, just behind the shoulders.
  • Tighten the rope securely, but not so tight that it causes discomfort to the bull or slips during the ride.
  • Double-check the grip by pulling the rope to test its hold.

2. Rider Positioning

  • Sit squarely on the bull with your hips aligned to its back.
  • Keep your legs tight against the bull’s sides for stability and control.
  • Position your dominant hand (the riding hand) firmly on the bull rope, while the free hand remains high and ready for balance.
  • Lean slightly forward to maintain a low center of gravity and prepare for the bull's forward thrust.

3. Posture and Balance

  • Maintain an upright posture with a strong core to absorb the bull’s movements.
  • Keep your shoulders relaxed and avoid leaning too far back or forward.
  • Use your free hand to counterbalance the bull’s bucking and spinning.

4. Waiting for the Bull to Settle

  • Patience is key—wait until the bull is calm and standing still before nodding for the gate to open.
  • Rushing can lead to a poor start or unexpected movements from the bull.

5. Mental Preparation

  • Stay focused and calm while in the chute.
  • Control your breathing to reduce tension and improve concentration.
  • Visualize the ride ahead, imagining your movements in sync with the bull.

6. Communicating with the Chute Crew

  • Clearly signal to the chute crew when you are ready to ride.
  • Ensure the crew is aware of any adjustments needed to the rope or bull's position.
  • Confirm that the gate will open smoothly and safely.

7. Safety Considerations

  • Double-check your gear and surroundings before signaling readiness.
  • Be aware of the bull’s behavior in the chute to avoid unexpected kicks or movements.
  • Always prioritize safety, ensuring you and the chute crew are in sync before the ride begins.

By mastering these steps, riders create a strong foundation for a successful and safe bull ride
