"To be a bullrider you have to have that eye of the tiger. You got to have that desire in your heart." Ezekiel Mitchell learned how to ride bulls from YouTube videos at the age of 16 and he was good — so good that he went pro to support his family. Then Hurricane Harvey hit, and his mom’s home was decimated. Now he’s climbing his way back to the top of this vicious sport, with the help of serial entrepreneur Max Maxwell and is on his way to becoming the first black bull rider to win a world title in 39 years.
