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.
Most bull's start at the age of 3, and often will continue past 10 years of age. Once Bull's are retired, they are welcomed into the breeding program and many live out their lives on their ranches.

"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.

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.

Can hotels see what I look at when connected to their in-room wifi?
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.
Share Answer: 
depends on the event. PBR/PRCA are a few days in advance, while amateur rodeos are usually about 3 hours before the performance.
Share Answer: 
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.
