It's likely because they are easier to train for bucking than other breeds are. Brahman cattle tend to be considerably smarter than European cattle, and thus getting them to "get it" in the rodeo circuit will take less time than it would for a Charolais or Angus bull to be able to buck.

It's also probably because they look meaner than the other breeds do, and tend to have a more interesting variation in colour patterns which make them really easy to recognize from the stands and from a bull rider's point of view.

Can a jersey cow can handle a brahman bull mounting her?

This would depend upon the relative size of the Jersey and the Brahman in question. Jersey cows are among the smaller breeds of cattle, and Brahman bulls tend to be among the larger breeds of cattle. It may be a better idea to collect the Brahman bull and artificially inseminate the Jersey cow if you really want this cross to happen. To add to what was mentioned above in the first sentence, a Jersey cow may be able to handle a Brahman bull if the bull was a yearling, not a fully mature 2200+ lb bull. To compare, Jersey bulls mature at around 1600 to 1800 lbs, considerably smaller than the average mature weight of a Brahmer. Thus, as mentioned above, if you want a Jersey-Brahman cross bad enough, it's possibly best to AI the Jersey cow with Brahman semen. Note, though, the bull from where the semen was collected better have high calving ease/low birth weight EPDs (Expected Progeny Differences) so that the Jersey will not have a difficult birth (dystocia) if she might if you paid little attention to such numbers.
