Bum Deal
by splinter on 10/30/25Rating: 1 out of 5We have been going for years. The last few years the price has doubled. If you grade the riders quality on 1st, 2nd or 3rd string, the majority of the riders that come to Grand rapids MI are the 5th string at best. That's not a problem if you aren't charging like the riders are the 1st and 2nd string riders...but they are not. If you actually sent at least a 50-50 of quality versus 5th string majority, maybe it would be worth the over inflated cost for seats. You would also get more people to come out instead of crowds dwindling. One year it was bulls just laying down when the gate was opened for the ride to begin majority of just beginner riders that are scared to death to be even on a bull. I know you could care less but giving an entertaining quality show is everything in entertainment. You know the old saying, you get what you pay for. In this case not so much. Just a shame.
