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.
Between the rolls of fat right in front of your rope. As the bull bucks, his skin goes taught and you continually reposition your feet.

If you're athletic, then you should be ok! You have to have good balance and reaction time, plus strength helps.
My best recommendation is to take a weekend clinic and see if it's for you.

I spend around $10,000-$15,000 on fuel, flights and hotel. You always share when you can... a dollar saved is a dollar earned... and travelling partners make the Sport.

Find a school or clinic in your area, that would be the best place to start.
You're really going to want to get some rides under your belt if you're looking for sponsors; unless it's from family and friends. You'll want to put logos on your shirt and vest, etc. Make sure you work in the price of doing that into it.

Your life isn't something you should skimp out on. In the US recommend US Rodeo Supply and in Canada Bramers Rodeo and Western Supply.
They're pricey as they're designed specifically for bull Riding.
Your alternative would be to buy used on eBay or classifieds or word of mouth.
Every event you miss or day of work you miss because you're injured is going to cost money... Prollyore than you'd save on equipment.

Deep question.
I would say as soon as you nod for one, you're a bull rider.
But until you make a whistle, I would just say, "I ride bulls"....
Share Answer: 
You're definitely not too old. The best thing to do is to find a Rodeo School or Clinic in your area, try googling "Rodeo Clinic" or "Rodeo School" with your State or Province. Clinics are the best way to get started by learning all of the intricacies and easing your way into the sport.
