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.
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.

I would probably guess calves about 400 pounds, or steers about 500 pounds to start off.

A beginner goes to a weekend school or clinic. As you start to ride more, you try to find a practice pen where you can get on a few.
Riding horses helps.
And in the gym, balance exercises help, as does overall weight and aerobic exercise.

A car accident. A lot of times it's instant impact, a fraction of a second of confusion, and immediate pain, with additional panic as you assess whether or not you're going to make it to the fence or be a victim of more. Adrenaline only prolongs the confusion stage...

Is there THAT much difference in quality between the fish served at mid-range vs high-end places?
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.

Hope it went well! I switched my email and forgot to reply to this; I did see it back in August and was thinking of you!
Yes, nerves play a part, but you have to harness that and turn it into focus. You have to want to do it and want to win. When you get nervous, just remind yourself that this is what you want to do, and think of the times you looked forward to it in anticipation. Fear is only a state of mind and pain is only fear leaving the body. Ride rank.

My pleasure, I love to talk about our Sport.
Most Bull riding vests weigh approximately 2-4 pounds.
