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.
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!!!!!!
Depends on the area, level, size of event, etc. Some events will pay like $250 to win while others pay $20,000 ...
In 2011, starting at semi-pro, the top earner made $26,000
At the second from top-level: the top earner earned $238,000
At the premiere level: the Professional Bull Riders (PBR), the top annual earnings in 2011 was over $460,000...and then the top-earner gets a $1,000,000 bonus (1.4 million total).
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.
Most of the higher tier or larger Associations and Organizations have a Group Health Coverage policy when you become a member.
My pleasure, I love to talk about our Sport.
Most Bull riding vests weigh approximately 2-4 pounds.

when a bull kicks his hind end one way and his front are center or the opposite (body twist)
Heck no. Respect is earned. There are dudes from the South who can't hack it. There are dudes from the North that rock it. Where you call home doesn't make who you are... the Bull doesn't care... put the Empire State on the Map!
Dominance plays a small part, but balance and "comfort" holds all the cards. I ride left and write write, and I am in the minority, but that's what I like. I think of it as when you lift weights, you lift with both equally, they should be just as strong, and I'm handy with my right (free-arm), so, that's what works for me.
But your centre of balance has nothing to do with your writing arm... and that plays a pivotal roll. You can always try both on some practice bulls or on a drop barrel, etc. and see if it makes any difference.
