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.
Best way is to find a weekend clinic, attend and start. Search by your state or province, there's bound to be one on the outskirts, or within a fair distance.

The best way is to build a drop barrel. There's a YouTube video how to, and there's a pic here: https://www.leffewbullridingworld.com/store/product/drop-barrel
the alternative would be the traditional 4 poles suspending one barrel "bucking barrel", but drop barrel is the way to go.

As long as you're fit, then you should be alright! Most PBR guys are out in their early 30's, but that's the rankest level of the Sport. But there's senior pro rodeo, and a number of guys are in their late 50's, early 60's, and there's even a guy in Australia in his late 70's!

Muscle and reaction time are key... you're a little taller than the average Bull Rider, but your weight is in the right range of those experiencing considerable success.
Find a school/weekend clinic, hop on and see if it's for you!
Bulls don't discriminate. They don't care if you're tall or short, skinny or fat, or if you are wearing a World Championship Buckle... they're still going to try and end your career or at least your championship dreams every chance they can get.

Perfect is based on performance, it is a requirement to ride for 8-seconds from the time the bull's shoulder leaves the chute or front feet hit the ground outside of the chute, depending on the rulebook, to 8-seconds. The rider may not may contact with their freehand with themselves or the bull, and at 8-seconds their hand must remain in the rope without their feet hitting the ground. The perfection is based on the scoring system. Half of the score is attributed to the bull's performance: how high they kick, how hard they spin, drop to the buck, power on the rider's arm, moves like belly-rolls (twisting in the air), direction changes; ultimately the overall degree of difficulty to the ride. The other half is based on the rider's performance: how controlled their body position is, how well they position their feet, reaction to the moves of the bulls, positioning and re-positioning of their feet; ultimately the overall style of the ride. A perfect score is 100. There is only one perfect score on record in Professional Rodeo or Bull Riding.

Farmers use them for leading and handling livestock. Bucking Bulls don't have them for their safety and cowboy's safety. Bucking Bulls are kept with other Bucking Bulls, as opposed to a breeding bull which will be mostly separate from others at a farm. Also, Bucking Bulls are handled by using panel-control systems, shuffling them pen-to-pen, as they are bred to be aggressive, and are aggressive in nature. Even if a Bucking Bull were to have a ring, they wouldn't let you lead them with it... they are not handled in that fashion. A bull with a nose ring is "old school" in our Industry. They used to back in the day because bulls were raised for breeding, and then if there were one that was unruly, it eventually would be tried out for rodeo. So, early in it's bull life, it would have a leading ring put in it's nose. Now, a Bucking Bull is born into the skill set, tested to see natural abilities at a young age, and naturally won't you lead them...
