They just showed day 1 on Esquire Network. Showing the other days shortly.

Jesus why do people do this ?

They just showed a guy laid out on his back not moving with a pool of blood coming out the back of his head. Guy is probably dead.

I was about to do it.

Like i had plane tickets, hotel set up, whole 9 yards.

I found out a week later i was about to be a dad. I immediately canceled trip.

Looking back, i might have chickened out anyway

Grab a horn step into his shoulder and screw him into the ground.

I always thought it would be pretty cool to say that I had done it...but it is some pretty damn dangerous shite...not sure I would ever take that risk...

I ran it last year. Having to worry about getting trampled is worse than the actual bulls

Edit: by the thousands of other people running

My brother-in law's good friend did it recently. He said it was unreal and glad he went but he would never do it again. Oh and he said it's mostly uphill ??

Our group made it through with no casualties but they were tougher this year from the little I remember. Red eye won again.

Yeah one time was good for me. Had a guy in our group run multiple days. Dude's crazy. Don't really remember it being that uphill. Maybe I was just too worried about getting a horn up the arse to notice

It's one of those things people do just so they can say they did it. No one truly thinks running with Bulls is fun. I was in Barcelona years ago during it and I chose to sit on the beach rather than make the train ride over there.

Just something to cross off my list, the chances of dieing are really small

And if I do there's plenty of life insurance

I did it several years ago. Its comparable to sky diving, just something to experience "the rush". One thing I learned is 90% of people that run with the bulls never see a bull.

C'mon, admit now that it's pretty funny when some guy gets gored in the crotch. That's always a hoot.

Ok someone clarify is this about the real deal 'el encierro' de la fiesta de San Fermin, in Pamplona, Spain. Or is this about that sad excuse they have with a bunch of roller-derby, pushing people over?

The former I have done, and it is definitely, world-class bucket list status. If you make in into the stadium after, the release in succession around ten bulls, each one bigger and more pissed of than its predecessor. This is actually the most dangerous part, though its not formally part of the 'run'. The object is to touch the bull without it turning around and goring you; word of warning, don't try to be a rodeo cowboy, because the locals love to wait for those guys to get speared by the bull and then join in jumping the guy as he's on the ground, crazy shite...
