Male, 23
I live my life 8-seconds at a time as an adrenaline junkie that goes event to event, matching up against some of the rankest bulls in the world in an 8-second battle for supremacy.
no, it's not weird. I ride left as well. We're of the minority, but we still rawk them.

If you can dream it, you can achieve it.
Share Answer: 
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.

Do most meteorologists believe global warming exists?
Auto Mechanic
If I know nothing about cars, how can I tell if a mechanic is ripping me off?
You could try to find some riders close to you and travel with them to an event or two. You could borrow equipment and try to ride a mount-out or exhibition, but I'd recommend finding a school somewhere and travelling to it. There's no better way to learn, in my opinion.

Sounds like you're set! As I've said earlier in my answers, I would recommend attending a rodeo clinic/school to get introduced to the sport. Good luck!

Every day I'm hustlin'...
If you approach an "open" or amateur-level contractor, you could get a job setting up or tearing down, opening gates, etc. which would help you with travelling. Then you will also get the opportunity to mount out a few or exhibition, and some guys will also pay your fees at events too. When I was starting, I was on crew for a couple of years. I'd set-up, tear down, enter the first day and exhibition the second whenever I could. Usually I was able to make it home with a couple of dollars left over after a weekend of work and fun... and sometimes I would have a bunch more money on my return ;)
