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.
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!
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!
Thank could probably be arranged. Save a horse...
The next level of bull riding is... Bull riding. With genetics being so calculated and raising of bucking stock so refined, today's bucking bull has more power and athleticism than ever before... They're only going to get ranker.
In the "old days" yaks were used instead of bulls at some events. But every new bull born is the "next level"

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!
I would say yes, just like NASCAR.
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.
