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.
Muscle and reaction time are key... you're a little taller than the average Bull Rider, but your weight is in the right range of those experiencing considerable success.
Find a school/weekend clinic, hop on and see if it's for you!
Bulls don't discriminate. They don't care if you're tall or short, skinny or fat, or if you are wearing a World Championship Buckle... they're still going to try and end your career or at least your championship dreams every chance they can get.

The best thing to do is to go to a rodeo school or clinic. They usually are 2 days long, and they give you the opportunity to learn the ground work, chute preparation and get on some easy stock to get into the swing of things.
Google "Rodeo School" and your State or Province to find the closest to you... it's a weekend you'll never forget!

Yes, loose! The rowel isn't "locked", it's to be "loosely locked", and should be able to rock back and forth about a 1/4 turn.

Price. The Pro Series ropes have a bit more work put into the making of them, and usually have more stitching, or more expensive materials in them. For example, the amateur series come with a single laced block and single stitching across the handle, while the pro series has double stitching.

Farmers use them for leading and handling livestock. Bucking Bulls don't have them for their safety and cowboy's safety. Bucking Bulls are kept with other Bucking Bulls, as opposed to a breeding bull which will be mostly separate from others at a farm. Also, Bucking Bulls are handled by using panel-control systems, shuffling them pen-to-pen, as they are bred to be aggressive, and are aggressive in nature. Even if a Bucking Bull were to have a ring, they wouldn't let you lead them with it... they are not handled in that fashion. A bull with a nose ring is "old school" in our Industry. They used to back in the day because bulls were raised for breeding, and then if there were one that was unruly, it eventually would be tried out for rodeo. So, early in it's bull life, it would have a leading ring put in it's nose. Now, a Bucking Bull is born into the skill set, tested to see natural abilities at a young age, and naturally won't you lead them...

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.
