Are bull's horns cut for safety because of and directly after Lane Frost's fatal ride? Takin' Care of Business' horns appear to be quite a bit larger in a video on you tube. Also, are helmets & vests a personal investment due to Bodacious? THANKS!

Asked by wondering about 12 years ago

Tipping horns pre-dates that fateful day, it is predominantly due to the territorial nature of bulls, and being hauled together, they would hurt each other if they had pointy tips.  Also, the tipping of horns is for the protection of riders and crew, and again, prior to that day.  Size of horns is irrelevant, it is the tip that is important, it must be larger than a silver dollar.
Helmets and vests were on the scene before Bodacious, though helmets became more popular after Tuff Hedemen's wreck and his adoption of the face mask.

Now, vests are mandatory (late 90's) and helmets are optional, though recommended.

I do, but as I travel a lot, it sometimes takes a day or two for me to reply. 

How do you talk girlfriend into lettin you bull ride my girlfriend knows I love it but she says I can't or she will dump me how do I convince her otherwise

Asked by Lee Moore over 11 years ago

If it's your passion, she should recognize that and let you do that.  

If she doesn't support you, then it's perhaps not a solid relationship.  A person should never stand in the way of someone else's dreams.

You could always do a trade... you ride bulls, she can do another hobby.

But be careful, you should really find out what her issue is with it first... and address it.

Asked by Dakota GeIman over 12 years ago

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 ;)

Asked by kris over 12 years ago

Sounds like you're set!  As I've said earlier in my answers, I would recommend attending a rodeo clinic/school to get introduced to the sport. Good luck!

what do i hook the spurs into?

Asked by bullrider98 over 12 years ago

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.

What would you say about a new, high school bull rider using a cheaper, economy rope? Or do you think I should invest in an expensive custom rope?

Asked by Simon K almost 12 years ago

as long as it's a real rope... you should be fine.  you don't need to break the bank until you know what works for you... type of handle, tail, etc.
