why do you want to stay up on you're bullriding rope

Asked by Chase Webb almost 13 years ago

That's where the bull has less power against the rider and where the rider's centre of gravity meets the central point of all the bull's moves. Too far back, and the bull's kick will have amplified force...

Is starting with small rodeos a good way to start in the sport after the school? If so how do you find these small rodeos?

Asked by Ryan over 12 years ago

In this day and age, the size of the rodeo doesn't always equate to the calibre of the bulls.

You're going to try and find "open rodeos" as a good starting ground, which are hard to find. Buck-out bull ridings are good as well. Really, unless you know someone in your area, the only way to do so is to start googling...

are chaps really needed for the comfort or even the safety of the rider ? or are they just to enhance the cowboy's looking ?

Asked by bullrider53 almost 13 years ago

They offer a little protection, but their purpose is to accentuate the visibility of the cowboy's spurring and feet movements.

if the bull doesn't get riden then how much money does the owner get paid?

Asked by kyle almost 13 years ago

Predominantly, Bull Contractors are simply paid by the gate. They want to raise the best buckers, because the better they do, the more events they get invited to, and then get 3-4 times as much if they are selected for the Finals. As Bull Riders either do the selection or influence the selection, every "out" is a scouting day. Sometimes there will be bonuses, but those are special events or opportunities.
