Bull Jumping

August 25th, 2008 by Larry D. Burton

I found this video on MySpace a while ago and wanted to share it.
Guy Jumps Over a Bull

Physical skill and the gravitas to put it to use. While its stupid behavior I still sit in awe looking at it.

    Wow. Stupid, yes, but awesome to see. I had no idea that bull-leaping existed outside of archaeological finds in Crete and elsewhere, dating from circa 1400 B.C. (or B.C.E). Murals were found in the excavated ruins of the palace of Knossos, where King Midas ruled, and where the mythical Minotaur lived in a labyrinth. The murals show young men somersaulting over bulls much as the young men do in the video.

    Even forty years ago, no way I would do that. Makes a great video, though.
