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.

am 14 and want to bull ride but have never got on top of a bull so how do i start? as in schools and gear and so on.... they always have a labor day rodeo and i want to be in it but do i need a bull riding linsence or papers or something to be in it

Asked by geovanni almost 12 years ago

14 is a little young for Bull Riding, but a lot of rodeos have junior bull riding or junior steer riding which is good for you to get your start in competition.

I would recommend a Bull Riding School this spring or summer, they also usually have steers to start you off on, to get you into the sport with the proper fundamentals.

Good luck!

why aren't there as many girls as boy bull riders?

Asked by isabel almost 12 years ago

There are very few women that attempt Bull Riding at the higher levels. It really is a rough sport and you take a beating. Upper body strength is key as well.
There was a girl in 2011 that tried to make it up through the ranks of the PBR, and it didn't really work out for her.
As romantic as the sport is with the whole Man vs. Beast thing, it really takes a special breed of contender to withstand the toll and struggle that goes with it. 

So is it true that a guy started bull riding at the age of 30

Asked by javier over 11 years ago

For sure there was... and there were guys in their 50's.
There are even Bull Riders in the 70's still riding in the Senior Pro Rodeo Association, and one guy in Australia who rides with the best of them.
As long as you're in decent enough shape and your body can take the rigours of the sport, you're game.

Im 26 years old and ive always wanted to learn to ride a bull...M i to old? If not who could i contact

Thanks

Asked by joshua almost 12 years ago

You're definitely not too old.  The best thing to do is to find a Rodeo School or Clinic in your area, try googling "Rodeo Clinic" or "Rodeo School" with your State or Province.  Clinics are the best way to get started by learning all of the intricacies and easing your way into the sport.

what are the best jeans to wear to tuck in your boots

Asked by Bull rider5 about 11 years ago

Cowboy Cut.  Never walk around with your jeans not tucked in (when not riding).

What would you say about a new, high school bull rider using a cheaper, economy rope? Or do you think I should invest in an expensive custom rope?

Asked by Simon K about 11 years ago

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.
