how long do women have to stay on bulls if they wanna bull ride

Asked by Tylerdude about 12 years ago

8-seconds. Bulls don't discriminate! 

are chaps really needed for the comfort or even the safety of the rider ? or are they just to enhance the cowboy's looking ?

Asked by bullrider53 over 12 years ago

They offer a little protection, but their purpose is to accentuate the visibility of the cowboy's spurring and feet movements.

why do you want to stay up on you're bullriding rope

Asked by Chase Webb over 12 years ago

That's where the bull has less power against the rider and where the rider's centre of gravity meets the central point of all the bull's moves. Too far back, and the bull's kick will have amplified force... 

Do bull riders get a by week?

Asked by MaryJ over 12 years ago

In regular rodeo and bull riding, no. Bull Riders pay to compete, and if they don't place high enough to earn winnings, they are sent home empty handed. That's why Bull Riders are seen riding through the pain often. In the PBR BFTS Series, there are injury exemptions. Basically the field of riders is set after the World Finals, they ride for a number of events, and the bottom few are removed and replaced with those from the Touring Pro Division "The Cut". Depending on rankings, titles, and opportunities; riders are awarded an exemption from being cut, and their place is held until they're healthy, or run out of exemptions. They may take a week off, but that may play into a gamble of either their position at the bottom, or a position at the top.
