MANHATTAN — Ride 'em, cowboy!
Professional bull riders held onto their hats Friday night at the Garden during the first day of the Professional Bull Riders' annual Madison Square Garden Invitational.
The competition — advertised on the association's site as "three snot-spewing, bone-crushing, adrenaline-soaked performances" — hosts the world's top 40 bull riders and runs through the weekend, culminating in a final showdown event Sunday.
Tonight's event kicks off at 8 p.m., and Sunday's begins at 1 p.m. Tickets start at $15 and can be purchased online.
