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.

What is the difference between amateur series bull ropes and pro series bull ropes?

Asked by bullrider almost 12 years ago

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.

And where could I buy a bull rope?

US Rodeo Supply in the US and Bramer's Rodeo and Western Supply in Canada. Both have online stores and great email support. 

I am a 52 year old Swedish citizen grew up with horses & rode almost every day for 11 years. One thing has come to my mind & I want to ride a bull before I am too old or am I too old already?

Asked by Mats Rosenquist over 11 years ago

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.

Asked by kailab almost 12 years ago

Thank could probably be arranged. Save a horse...

hey their! im Isabel im girl and im only 12!!! I have had huge dreams of becoming a bull rider since I was a little girl! anyways I wanted to know what thos few seconds felt like. and also what are the chances of me a GIRL becoming a bull rider? thx

Asked by isabel figueroa over 11 years ago

"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. 

After you take one of those schools how do you keep riding because, I don't have any bulls myself or know anyone that does?

Asked by Scooter almost 12 years ago

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.

I asked about bull riders getting a by week. Thanx for your answer. U also said- ...the field of riders is set after the World Finals- Does the cut take place throughout the season, and allow Touring Pro Division riders to keep moving into PBR? Thnx

Asked by Mary J almost 12 years ago

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.
