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.
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.

I do, but as I travel a lot, it sometimes takes a day or two for me to reply.

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...

School of hard knocks...
but we definitely recommend a weekend rodeo clinic or school as a starter... and repeat.
Share Answer: 
School Bus Driver
If your bus is in an accident that was ruled your fault, would you lose your job?
Private Detective
Have you ever turned down a job because you thought it was too dangerous?
CPR Trainer
Why does the 'official' CPR method change from time to time?
I think two-handed riding is ridiculous, especially if you want to continue with the sport. Why start and learn all over again? And it's like two-arm curling a steers head into your helmut mask... but to each their own.
My sponsorship advice is to create a package (1,2,3-4 pages long) that talks about who you are, where you're going, what you can do for the sponsor and how they're helping you (what the fees go to). Be sure to offer lots of things for the sponsors... names on shirts, vests, helmets, autograph cards, etc. And then play the numbers game... keep calling and giving it to people until you get what you need. 50 may say no before 1 says yes.
Good luck x 2!

Sounds like you're set! As I've said earlier in my answers, I would recommend attending a rodeo clinic/school to get introduced to the sport. Good luck!

I spend around $10,000-$15,000 on fuel, flights and hotel. You always share when you can... a dollar saved is a dollar earned... and travelling partners make the Sport.
