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.
Deep question.
I would say as soon as you nod for one, you're a bull rider.
But until you make a whistle, I would just say, "I ride bulls"....
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.
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.
School of hard knocks...
but we definitely recommend a weekend rodeo clinic or school as a starter... and repeat.

What are the physical traits that make for the "ideal swimmer's body"?
If it's your passion, she should recognize that and let you do that.
If she doesn't support you, then it's perhaps not a solid relationship. A person should never stand in the way of someone else's dreams.
You could always do a trade... you ride bulls, she can do another hobby.
But be careful, you should really find out what her issue is with it first... and address it.
This is a tough question. Bucking bulls are mostly cross-bred... Brahma for the humps, horns and height, and other breeds for stockiness and athleticism.
Stocker bulls may be fatter, but there won't be a stronger, athletic bull on the planet.
I spend around $10,000-$15,000 on fuel, flights and hotel. You always share when you can... a dollar saved is a dollar earned... and travelling partners make the Sport.
