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.
If you can dream it, you can achieve it.
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...
Boots, jeans, hat... and you can usually borrow/buy a rope, vest, spurs at your first clinic.
Clinics range from $250 - $750 or more.
Simple, Bull Riding is awesome.
First, Bull Riding is a part of the Rodeo Industry, and together, they are a great re-connect with our history and nostalgia of the development of our Country. As the world moves away from an agricultural-based society into an urbanized living space, events like Bull Riding allow a re-introduction to our agricultural roots, and celebrate the skills developed in our past that are still practiced today.
Bull Riding is a multi-billion dollar industry, based on the spectator tickets, sponsorship sales, television rights and advertising, equipment, training, livestock breeding and raising, transport, and more. Regardless of level, albeat a BFTS PBR in Las Vegas or an open bull riding in Podunk, USA, an event like Bull Riding generates large local economic impact from hotel rooms, travel, food, tertiary entertainment and more. In some cities, the economic impact stems into the millions from a one-weekend event.
There is much research and development that goes into the breeding of bucking bulls, and with inveatro and dna testing and analysis, scientists are learning more about the breeding of species from the results of the tried-and-tested breeding programs of bull riding livestock.
Lastly, in these times, people need to escape their lives for a few hours at a time and enjoy good core-value, family friendly entertainment for a reasonable price, and Bull Riding definitely delivers that in spades.

no, it's not weird. I ride left as well. We're of the minority, but we still rawk them.
It really depends on the sanctioning. Most times you need to pay at the event at the lower levels, and you usually need a member to enter you, unless you're a local. All of the entry info should be with the event info (#, etc.)
good luck!
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.
