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.

Do bull riders get a by week?

Asked by MaryJ about 12 years ago

In regular rodeo and bull riding, no. Bull Riders pay to compete, and if they don't place high enough to earn winnings, they are sent home empty handed. That's why Bull Riders are seen riding through the pain often. In the PBR BFTS Series, there are injury exemptions. Basically the field of riders is set after the World Finals, they ride for a number of events, and the bottom few are removed and replaced with those from the Touring Pro Division "The Cut". Depending on rankings, titles, and opportunities; riders are awarded an exemption from being cut, and their place is held until they're healthy, or run out of exemptions. They may take a week off, but that may play into a gamble of either their position at the bottom, or a position at the top.

Asked by darren swishe almost 12 years ago

That's a good age to start!

is it weird that i hold my bull rope with my left hand? because all of the high school riders hold it with their right hand.

Asked by brett over 11 years ago

no, it's not weird.  I ride left as well.  We're of the minority, but we still rawk them.

I'm thinking about calling in for my first bull riding when you call in what do they ask you and when do you pay the entry fee on the phone or when you get to the rodeo

Asked by Tim over 11 years ago

It really depends on the sanctioning. Most times you need to pay at the event at the lower levels, and you usually need a member to enter you, unless you're a local. All of the entry info should be with the event info (#, etc.)

good luck!

Boots, jeans, hat... and you can usually borrow/buy a rope, vest, spurs at your first clinic.

I want to be were your at I don't have a lot of money but I got stuff to pay for want can I do there nothing around here to really help me no bull riding school just rodeos

Asked by Dakota GeIman almost 12 years ago

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 ;)

im 18 about to turn 19, i always wanted to bull ride buti have no schoolsa round my area to allow me to learn what do i do?

Asked by Ghost almost 12 years ago

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.
