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.
Anyone can get into the sport... just invest in some equipment and take a weekend clinic. Having people in your family in the sport may be a slight advantage, but the rodeo family is very welcoming and soon you will have lots of people to help you out.... Cowboy Comaraderie.
Depends on the level... there's high school and junior levels... and bulls picked (usually) accordingly.
We like to see 12 years old for Steers and 14 for junior bulls... and 15 for beginner bulls... but it depends on experience.
A lot of them!
you're best to just attend an event or after-party and strike up a conversation, or start the conversation on Twitter or something. There's somebody for everybody in Life, and the search is just part of the journey.
Aquiring sponsors is a difficult process regardless of where you are riding; but once you're in the top-35 and on TV, it becomes slightly easier, considering you will be a little more well known and sponsors have access to tv and media exposure. A few in the top cusp also have agents to manage their sponsorships, which helps.
But it's still a grind.
