""You ease them into it. There's excitement. There's fear. There's a little dance that goes on there," says Wade Crescent, director of entertainment."
""The rope is your only hope," says West Dodge Lenz, who operates the bull in New York. "Hold it low""
""Keep your clothes on," Crescent says."
Desert 5 Spot opened in Union Market and features the city's only mechanical bull named Teddy. The bull is a deluxe model with controls that spin, buck, and move it up and down; operators ease riders into rides and limit spinning controls to 30 percent. Typical rides at the venue last 30 to 60 seconds, with a padded custom pen that feels like a bounce house for landings. Operators are safety-trained and some have ranch experience. Riders must sign a waiver and follow rules such as keeping clothes on. Cowboy hard hats and custom chaps are provided for photos.
