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.
Deep question.
I would say as soon as you nod for one, you're a bull rider.
But until you make a whistle, I would just say, "I ride bulls"....

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.

Your life isn't something you should skimp out on. In the US recommend US Rodeo Supply and in Canada Bramers Rodeo and Western Supply.
They're pricey as they're designed specifically for bull Riding.
Your alternative would be to buy used on eBay or classifieds or word of mouth.
Every event you miss or day of work you miss because you're injured is going to cost money... Prollyore than you'd save on equipment.

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.

Do you catch less marijuana at the border now that it's being decriminalized in some States?
This would be hard to track. In today's age, there are many that are retiring on the top, as they've seen guys ride beyond their limits, and it's just a slippery slope.
There are about 2-3 that retire a year from the upper ranks of the PBR.
Off the top of my head... Adriano Moraes, Justin McBride, Ross Coleman in the past 4, while Brennan Clark and Luke Snyder are saying this next season will be their last. These guys have all hit the million-dollar mark in earnings and can kind of "afford" to retire. Many guys will just finish their years out in the lower ranks riding at the odd event, etc.
And there are lots of those that are injured out and with family on the way, etc., hang up their chaps. Rare at the PBR level... but everyone has a limit... even superman.
Thank you Mark for your great questions. I can only answer so far, but I would recommend you contact the PBR Media Relations Department and the Justin Sports Medicine Team for more detailed information if necessary.

For sure there was... and there were guys in their 50's.
There are even Bull Riders in the 70's still riding in the Senior Pro Rodeo Association, and one guy in Australia who rides with the best of them.
As long as you're in decent enough shape and your body can take the rigours of the sport, you're game.
Share Answer: 
They all start around $200-$250. Just like a vest, I wouldn't suggest skimping out on tuition.
What state/province are you in, maybe I can point you to something in the right direction?
You could also try googling local schools/clinics or host associations in your area for more information.
