In an age when corporations seem to have more and more power over our lives and yet are less and less accountable for the harm they do, tort reform has become a proverbial “hot-button” issue. One one hand, those who push for tort reform which essentially sets limits on what a court can award to a plaintiff in a civil lawsuit say that such reform will make business more competitive and lower expenses for consumers. On the other hand, consumer advocates say that limiting court awards and penalties for corporate wrongdoing absolves these companies from accountability even more at a time when big business seem to be running roughshod over society.

You have found the home of the Original Multi Ride Mechanical Bull! In 1989 after five years of operating the old style very heavy rodeo bulls we decided to develop our own mechanical rodeo bull. The brief was simple, it must be easy to transport quick to set up and most of all it should only take two people to do it. One year later the Rodeo Bull Multi Ride was born! As you browse through the web you will see several versions of our bull, all of these are imitations; we are often copied but never bettered. No other company can boast over 1700 bulls sold worldwide; the original design is 17 years old which has proven the quality and reliability many times over. Read more…
