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.
As long as you try it at a weekend school or clinic, you should be fine. I wouldn't recommend entering until you try it, that way you shouldn't be getting on something that will be trying to kill you the 1st time.

Most guys just keep entering jackpots, bull ridings and rodeos to keep with it. If you're lucky you can get to a contractor's place and ride a few of his newer stuff or bulls that need a couple more rides on them... Another thing to do is hit a few more schools. The best way to practice is to buy a "drop barrel"; a simulated bucking bull device, and get on it every day to stay fluid. It really depends on your location for the availability of a bull riding practice pen.

There aren't many similarities, other than the rocking and spin... The real deal has much more force and speed.
The biggest difference is that they are usually made of plastic and operators don't let you wear boots...And Boots (spurs) are a major tool that we use to stay on. Plus the bull rope really helps as well.
Nothing beats the real deaL!

The best thing to do is to go to a rodeo school or clinic. They usually are 2 days long, and they give you the opportunity to learn the ground work, chute preparation and get on some easy stock to get into the swing of things.
Google "Rodeo School" and your State or Province to find the closest to you... it's a weekend you'll never forget!
