So is it true that a guy started bull riding at the age of 30

Asked by javier almost 13 years ago

For sure there was... and there were guys in their 50's.
There are even Bull Riders in the 70's still riding in the Senior Pro Rodeo Association, and one guy in Australia who rides with the best of them.
As long as you're in decent enough shape and your body can take the rigours of the sport, you're game.

am 14 and want to bull ride but have never got on top of a bull so how do i start? as in schools and gear and so on.... they always have a labor day rodeo and i want to be in it but do i need a bull riding linsence or papers or something to be in it

Asked by geovanni about 13 years ago

14 is a little young for Bull Riding, but a lot of rodeos have junior bull riding or junior steer riding which is good for you to get your start in competition.

I would recommend a Bull Riding School this spring or summer, they also usually have steers to start you off on, to get you into the sport with the proper fundamentals.

Good luck!

my name is joseph moser im currently in afghanistan, was just looking for some tips for the riding season this year, i been riding for round 6 years now still learning new stuff everyday, also wondering the best way to get sponsors...

Asked by american soldier about 13 years ago

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!!!!!!

i am wanting to ride bulls next summer but dont know what schools to go to do you know any that are cheap but good?

Asked by Colton Robinson almost 13 years ago

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.

If i have a 10 year old son how big a bull would he be riding?

Asked by Jack almost 13 years ago

I would probably guess calves about 400 pounds, or steers about 500 pounds to start off.

About how much does the protective vest weigh? Thanks for answering questions here. I'm a fiction writer, and your answers help me keep it real.

Asked by Mary Mc about 13 years ago

My pleasure, I love to talk about our Sport.

Most Bull riding vests weigh approximately 2-4 pounds.
