The trick is to not get impaled just dodge it best way you can and then get points from judges. Bull walks away, hopefully the recortador does too.

Really beautiful!

Not like the disgusting bullfighting where the bull has very little chance of surviving 😠

Thanks for sharing.

Athens provide these bull-leapers as tribute to the EU for bailing out Greece.

Bull leaping goes way back, at least as far as Minoan Crete.

That fresco pretty much spells it out. I bet bull leaping is older than that too. We should find a shorter name for it, like Bleaping🙂

The Minoans got it from someone else in Middle East.
They also used a now extinct monster bull.

Also ... is it really Theseus's ship?

Absolutely. And if the bleaper does a back flip or a summersault coming off the bull, it should be called blooping.

Naw, would be for when you fall off and flip off the bull as he's rounding on you to infiltrate his horn into your thorax.
