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.
Price. The Pro Series ropes have a bit more work put into the making of them, and usually have more stitching, or more expensive materials in them. For example, the amateur series come with a single laced block and single stitching across the handle, while the pro series has double stitching.

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.

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!

"Those few seconds" ... It varies by rider and changes the more you do it. I used to completely blackout for the first 2, though I would be in position and conscious, I would not remember coming out of the chute. The rest of the ride it just felt strong, like "snap-snap" as the bull kicked... And when he spun, just a dizzy feeling.
But as I began to get on more, it became similar to riding a horse, except stronger and faster... And I began to really start to feel the bulls move and fade underneath me.
Then and now, it's still a rush.
Lots of girls bull ride in the lower levels and as you're 12, you have a good opportunity to ride steers and junior bulls first to get used to it.

Boots for sure are necessary... They are solid and have a heel them to fasten our spurs to. Spurs are paramount as they really are 50-75% of what we are holding on with at most times... But every time a bull moves, our spurs pop out, and we have to re-position.
Plus, walking around animals... You're going to want to wear boots ;)
