Male, 23
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.
I grew up around the sport and rode some calves when I was 10 and started riding steers in competition when I was 13.

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 was it like in the tower on 9/11?
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!

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!
Share Answer: 
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 ;)
