It’s absolute mayhem. It’s amateur matador madness. It’s a rag-dolling like you’ve never seen. It’s BUBBLE BULL SOCCER. This raging rodeo game is exactly what it sounds like. Soccer, but you’re the ball, and a 2,200-pound horned beast is the star striker.


Human ingenuity has blessed us with the protective PVC to create giant inflatable bubbles, and somewhere along the way, somebody figured out these things were bull-proof. So how does it work, exactly?




Step 1: Get in the giant inflatable bubble.


Step 2: Release the Bull.


It’s that simple.


Based on the various clips of the extreme sport, it appears there are different iterations of bubble bull soccer depending on where it’s played. It seems some events might involve a team-based ball-kicking objective for the humans, too, but with all the chaos ensuing, it’s hard to focus on anything but the rampaging bull flinging your friends 15 feet in the air. At other venues things are a bit more clear-cut – just run at the bull and get sent flying. Either way, it looks like outrageous fun. I can’t imagine the bulls don’t enjoy letting off some steam, too.


Beware, though. It doesn’t always end well for everybody…




To all you bull ball-busting bubble ballers out there: stay stupid, and ball til the day you’re mauled. We salute you.
