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 think one day we'll see a Female World Champ... there are some girls riding tougher dudes... just need more!

The best thing to do is to go to a rodeo school or clinic. They usually are 2 days long, and they give you the opportunity to learn the ground work, chute preparation and get on some easy stock to get into the swing of things.
Google "Rodeo School" and your State or Province to find the closest to you... it's a weekend you'll never forget!

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.
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.

What was the most gruesome trauma you witnessed while on the job?
They offer a little protection, but their purpose is to accentuate the visibility of the cowboy's spurring and feet movements.

Fundamentally, the rider is staring between the bull's shoulders, right in front of his hand, "The Spot". When the bull goes in that direction, you kinda follow those front shoulders. But it's quite difficult as they can change direction in the air, or belly roll, etc., and that's only a guide, haha. A big part of it is just matching the bull's moves a split second at a time. Resetting your feet, position, and staying in the middle. You can never guess or anticipate where or what they're going to do. They can feel that weakness and take advantage of it in a heartbeat.

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.
