3D network 3net will premiere what they are calling a “sportumentary” at 9 p.m. ET (6 p.m. PT) Thursday, May 5, called “Bullproof.”
Featuring some of the world’s most extreme man-versus-beast encounters, this one-hour weekly series documents the danger and drama of a group of professional bullfighters as they risk their lives to save the cowboys of the Championship Bull Riding (CBR) circuit. “Bullproof” is produced by Wild Eyes Productions and Digital Revolution Studios. Tim Pastore will serve as Executive Producer on behalf of 3net, the joint venture 24/7 3D network from Sony, Discovery and IMAX.

The series features professional bullfighters Matt Baldwin, Cody Sosebee, Brandon Loden and Ray Clary as they embark on a new season of the CBR circuit. Each episode highlights the daily risk the riders face and the unimaginable toll their bodies take during the season. The series culminates with the tour finale, as severely injured riders attempt comebacks and the cast battles it out for the ultimate glory that comes with the title “Bullfighter of the Year.”
