And where could I buy a bull rope?

Asked by Jrw about 13 years ago

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

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 over 13 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.

Asked by kailab over 13 years ago

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

Hi I got on my first bull this weekend most amazing thing I've ever done but after I got bucked off the guy said if I woulda known how to cover the bull when he turned I woulda rode him how to I practice and learn to cover?

Asked by Jrw about 13 years ago

Good stuff!  
It's a combination of practice, experience that will help there.  Drop barrels are good as you'll always be pushing yourself to the front, but just stick with it, the "hard part" is over!

If you have done a bull riding school, once your done could you just go strait to a rodeo and start or what? I hear of all these bull riding schools but what do you do once your done with it.

Asked by park101896 almost 13 years ago

Yes, as long as the rodeo doesn't have qualifying requirements.  Most don't.

Try and get some good direction on where to start competing in terms of quality stock, good calibre, with good bullfighters, etc.

Also try and find someplace with a practice pen nearby, etc.

I'm trying to help my nephew get sponsorship for his professional career. Do you have any tips on the best way to get sponsors? What's the best way to get his name out to the fans?

Asked by christy sanders over 12 years ago

The best way is to create a sponsorship package that gives something to the sponsors, not just "exposure" or "branding".  Stuff like tickets to events, meet and greet at sponsors, and such.  Going after sponsors is a tough game, you're competing against little league baseball teams and the olympics... you need to stand out and be original.  Think Activation.

Best way to get out there?  Big events, big results... and social media.

Thank you Mark for your great questions. I can only answer so far, but I would recommend you contact the PBR Media Relations Department and the Justin Sports Medicine Team for more detailed information if necessary.
