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.

What kind of “primping” is required for competitions?
Perseverence is key. It is very frustrating to get into as most times there seems to be so much preparation into the ride, and after the gate opens, everything seems to be over in an instant.
In addition to mental preparation and perserverence, I'd recommend stretching as much as possible, so those first buck-offs remain fun!

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.

This season, they enacted a new system. The Top-35 after the World Finals were kept on tour for 5 events. The BFTS Standings are actually points from the BFTS, the TPD, and International Events, with points being rated differently from each event, ie. more points for winning a BFTS than a TPD, but all the points are one set of qualification standings. After the 5th event, the "cut" in essence happens the Tuesday before each BFTS Event. The top 35 in the BFTS Standings (all of PBR Event Points) are drawn for that weekend's event. It's a new system that is to allow guys to move up faster, as opposed to being on a streak in the TBD and having to wait 5 events to move up.
