When does someone become a bull rider when can someone call them self a bull rider

Asked by Graham over 11 years ago

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"....

Hi i am a 16 year old from Wisconsin i am 6'3 260lbs can you tell me if that is a disadvantage? Then i have another on ive allways wanted to ride bull since i was a boy and i was wondering if you could help get me started in the right direction?

Asked by Tony Kleinschmidt about 11 years ago

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 wanting to start bullriding. I'm about to be 15 & I have no experience whatsoever, but I really do want to learn. Any suggestions on where to start? How to raise the money & get sponsors?

Asked by Allen McL over 11 years ago

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. 

What kind of schooling did you need to become a Bull Rider?

Asked by Jeff Rider almost 11 years ago

School of hard knocks... 

but we definitely recommend a weekend rodeo clinic or school as a starter... and repeat.

How do you talk girlfriend into lettin you bull ride my girlfriend knows I love it but she says I can't or she will dump me how do I convince her otherwise

Asked by Lee Moore over 10 years ago

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.

Are bull riding bulls bigger than normal bulls and if so, how much bigger are they?

Asked by Mark Herry over 11 years ago

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.

How much do you spend on gas and hotels a year? I know that you have riding partners but can you give me rough estimates with and without your partners' shares.

Asked by Tiffany J about 11 years ago

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.
