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.
Best way is to find a weekend clinic, attend and start. Search by your state or province, there's bound to be one on the outskirts, or within a fair distance.

The best way is to build a drop barrel. There's a YouTube video how to, and there's a pic here: https://www.leffewbullridingworld.com/store/product/drop-barrel
the alternative would be the traditional 4 poles suspending one barrel "bucking barrel", but drop barrel is the way to go.

As long as you're fit, then you should be alright! Most PBR guys are out in their early 30's, but that's the rankest level of the Sport. But there's senior pro rodeo, and a number of guys are in their late 50's, early 60's, and there's even a guy in Australia in his late 70's!

Muscle and reaction time are key... you're a little taller than the average Bull Rider, but your weight is in the right range of those experiencing considerable success.
Find a school/weekend clinic, hop on and see if it's for you!
Bulls don't discriminate. They don't care if you're tall or short, skinny or fat, or if you are wearing a World Championship Buckle... they're still going to try and end your career or at least your championship dreams every chance they can get.

As long as you're in shape, you should be alright. There've been some tall riders... Terry Don West (5' 9"), Tuff Hedemen (5' 11")... But they're few and far between as it's about the centre of gravity...
But as Sankey says, "Opinions vary but the reality is that champions come in all heights. Besides, you can’t change your height so learn to ride with the techniques and skills that allow you to maximize the things you can do well and to stay away from the things that are your weakness."

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!
