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.
Every day I'm hustlin'...
If you approach an "open" or amateur-level contractor, you could get a job setting up or tearing down, opening gates, etc. which would help you with travelling. Then you will also get the opportunity to mount out a few or exhibition, and some guys will also pay your fees at events too. When I was starting, I was on crew for a couple of years. I'd set-up, tear down, enter the first day and exhibition the second whenever I could. Usually I was able to make it home with a couple of dollars left over after a weekend of work and fun... and sometimes I would have a bunch more money on my return ;)

If you're athletic, then you should be ok! You have to have good balance and reaction time, plus strength helps.
My best recommendation is to take a weekend clinic and see if it's for you.

Between the rolls of fat right in front of your rope. As the bull bucks, his skin goes taught and you continually reposition your feet.

Why are so many developers such bad communicators?
Find a school or clinic in your area, that would be the best place to start.
You're really going to want to get some rides under your belt if you're looking for sponsors; unless it's from family and friends. You'll want to put logos on your shirt and vest, etc. Make sure you work in the price of doing that into it.

This is a tough question. Bucking bulls are mostly cross-bred... Brahma for the humps, horns and height, and other breeds for stockiness and athleticism.
Stocker bulls may be fatter, but there won't be a stronger, athletic bull on the planet.
Share Answer: 
There are very few women that attempt Bull Riding at the higher levels. It really is a rough sport and you take a beating. Upper body strength is key as well.
There was a girl in 2011 that tried to make it up through the ranks of the PBR, and it didn't really work out for her.
As romantic as the sport is with the whole Man vs. Beast thing, it really takes a special breed of contender to withstand the toll and struggle that goes with it.
