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.

What is the style of chaps called that reach all the way around your thigh? That is the style I wanted when I ordered my last pair and when I told the company my thigh measurment they still didn't reach all the way around my thigh.

Asked by blake over 12 years ago

It's a batwing rodeo chap. It should go most of the way and cinch up with the strap. I'd have to see it...

I'm thinking about calling in for my first bull riding when you call in what do they ask you and when do you pay the entry fee on the phone or when you get to the rodeo

Asked by Tim over 12 years ago

It really depends on the sanctioning. Most times you need to pay at the event at the lower levels, and you usually need a member to enter you, unless you're a local. All of the entry info should be with the event info (#, etc.)

good luck!

if the bull doesn't get riden then how much money does the owner get paid?

Asked by kyle almost 13 years ago

Predominantly, Bull Contractors are simply paid by the gate. They want to raise the best buckers, because the better they do, the more events they get invited to, and then get 3-4 times as much if they are selected for the Finals. As Bull Riders either do the selection or influence the selection, every "out" is a scouting day. Sometimes there will be bonuses, but those are special events or opportunities.

What is everything u need to start riding bulls and how much does it all cost

Asked by john over 11 years ago

Boots, jeans, hat... and you can usually borrow/buy a rope, vest, spurs at your first clinic.  

Clinics range from $250 - $750 or more.

is it weird that i hold my bull rope with my left hand? because all of the high school riders hold it with their right hand.

Asked by brett over 12 years ago

no, it's not weird.  I ride left as well.  We're of the minority, but we still rawk them.

Okay so I am a girl, and Its my dream to be a professional bull rider. Do you think that's out of the question for me?

Asked by Miranda over 12 years ago

If you can dream it, you can achieve it.

im 18 about to turn 19, i always wanted to bull ride buti have no schoolsa round my area to allow me to learn what do i do?

Asked by Ghost over 12 years ago

You could try to find some riders close to you and travel with them to an event or two.  You could borrow equipment and try to ride a mount-out or exhibition, but I'd recommend finding a school somewhere and travelling to it.  There's no better way to learn, in my opinion.
