It does not mean "to sit atop a bucking, spinning, hurtling, heaving beast that wants nothing more than to throw you to kingdom come." That is merely to get on the bull. To ride it you must get on and stay there-for eight seconds. Which, in layman's time, is about six seconds longer than impossible...
