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.
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.
They all start around $200-$250. Just like a vest, I wouldn't suggest skimping out on tuition.
What state/province are you in, maybe I can point you to something in the right direction?
You could also try googling local schools/clinics or host associations in your area for more information.
I would probably guess calves about 400 pounds, or steers about 500 pounds to start off.
My pleasure, I love to talk about our Sport.
Most Bull riding vests weigh approximately 2-4 pounds.

Does it bother you when people use the R-word?
It would help, but it isn't necessary. Balance and reaction is key.
Most of the higher tier or larger Associations and Organizations have a Group Health Coverage policy when you become a member.
The best thing to do is find some riders in your area and try to travel together. Traveling expenses are high right now, and these guys will know a lot of the bulls, and the events to enter.
Sponsors are tough. The best thing to do is to design a package that has value or return on investment, with quantifiable numbers, and get it into 100 business' hands... And see how many you get. Think beyond the standard patch... Think appearances, commercials, VIP passes...
and thank you for your service!!!!!!
