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.
Between the rolls of fat right in front of your rope. As the bull bucks, his skin goes taught and you continually reposition your feet.
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 ;)
as long as it's a real rope... you should be fine. you don't need to break the bank until you know what works for you... type of handle, tail, etc.
Cowboy Cut. Never walk around with your jeans not tucked in (when not riding).

Do the kids treat you with the same amount of respect as other authority figures at school?

If your special keyboard lets you type 200+ words per minute, why doesn't everyone use them?

How much protection do those bomb disposal suits really provide?
Find a school or clinic in your area, that would be the best place to start.
You're really going to want to get some rides under your belt if you're looking for sponsors; unless it's from family and friends. You'll want to put logos on your shirt and vest, etc. Make sure you work in the price of doing that into it.
If you're athletic, then you should be ok! You have to have good balance and reaction time, plus strength helps.
My best recommendation is to take a weekend clinic and see if it's for you.
I'm trying to make my way to TV. Right now you'd have to swing by the North-East at an event.
