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.
Fundamentally, the rider is staring between the bull's shoulders, right in front of his hand, "The Spot". When the bull goes in that direction, you kinda follow those front shoulders. But it's quite difficult as they can change direction in the air, or belly roll, etc., and that's only a guide, haha. A big part of it is just matching the bull's moves a split second at a time. Resetting your feet, position, and staying in the middle. You can never guess or anticipate where or what they're going to do. They can feel that weakness and take advantage of it in a heartbeat.

I would say yes, just like NASCAR.

The best way is to create a sponsorship package that gives something to the sponsors, not just "exposure" or "branding". Stuff like tickets to events, meet and greet at sponsors, and such. Going after sponsors is a tough game, you're competing against little league baseball teams and the olympics... you need to stand out and be original. Think Activation.
Best way to get out there? Big events, big results... and social media.

Yes, as long as the rodeo doesn't have qualifying requirements. Most don't.
Try and get some good direction on where to start competing in terms of quality stock, good calibre, with good bullfighters, etc.
Also try and find someplace with a practice pen nearby, etc.

The next level of bull riding is... Bull riding. With genetics being so calculated and raising of bucking stock so refined, today's bucking bull has more power and athleticism than ever before... They're only going to get ranker.
In the "old days" yaks were used instead of bulls at some events. But every new bull born is the "next level"

In this day and age, the size of the rodeo doesn't always equate to the calibre of the bulls.
You're going to try and find "open rodeos" as a good starting ground, which are hard to find. Buck-out bull ridings are good as well. Really, unless you know someone in your area, the only way to do so is to start googling...
