Male, 23
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.
This would be hard to track. In today's age, there are many that are retiring on the top, as they've seen guys ride beyond their limits, and it's just a slippery slope.
There are about 2-3 that retire a year from the upper ranks of the PBR.
Off the top of my head... Adriano Moraes, Justin McBride, Ross Coleman in the past 4, while Brennan Clark and Luke Snyder are saying this next season will be their last. These guys have all hit the million-dollar mark in earnings and can kind of "afford" to retire. Many guys will just finish their years out in the lower ranks riding at the odd event, etc.
And there are lots of those that are injured out and with family on the way, etc., hang up their chaps. Rare at the PBR level... but everyone has a limit... even superman.
Thank you Mark for your great questions. I can only answer so far, but I would recommend you contact the PBR Media Relations Department and the Justin Sports Medicine Team for more detailed information if necessary.

I'm trying to make my way to TV. Right now you'd have to swing by the North-East at an event.

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!

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"....

Your life isn't something you should skimp out on. In the US recommend US Rodeo Supply and in Canada Bramers Rodeo and Western Supply.
They're pricey as they're designed specifically for bull Riding.
Your alternative would be to buy used on eBay or classifieds or word of mouth.
Every event you miss or day of work you miss because you're injured is going to cost money... Prollyore than you'd save on equipment.

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.

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.
