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.

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.

The jeans are actually designed for the lifestyle. I'm a big Wrangler fan, and they're the market leader, followed by Cinch. They're "Cowboy Cut", meaning boot cut at the bottom, and they sit comfortably while riding. The original 13MWZ style jean is also a little more resilient in rough situations. The Belt loops are larger to accomodate the wider leather belt to wear a trophy buckle, the pockets are designed to hold your valuables and not bash you while you ride... And if a guy were to get on a bull wearing designer jeans... the beating he's about to take from the bull pales in comparison to the ribbing he'll get from the riders.

Attend a weekend clinic, get on some steers and go from there.

Currently there isn't any drug testing, as it takes a lot to ride bulls... stamina, focus, balance, reaction time... and there really isn't a performance enhancing drug that would help an aspect without hindering another.
Bull Riders often ride through the pain; we aren't paid performance fees, and only make money when we win or place. So, it's a balance of grit and determination, mental and physical toughness to continue riding when your body is telling you otherwise.

"Those few seconds" ... It varies by rider and changes the more you do it. I used to completely blackout for the first 2, though I would be in position and conscious, I would not remember coming out of the chute. The rest of the ride it just felt strong, like "snap-snap" as the bull kicked... And when he spun, just a dizzy feeling.
But as I began to get on more, it became similar to riding a horse, except stronger and faster... And I began to really start to feel the bulls move and fade underneath me.
Then and now, it's still a rush.
Lots of girls bull ride in the lower levels and as you're 12, you have a good opportunity to ride steers and junior bulls first to get used to it.

That's where the bull has less power against the rider and where the rider's centre of gravity meets the central point of all the bull's moves. Too far back, and the bull's kick will have amplified force...

You're going the right direction. The best thing to do would be to get/make a drop barrel and ride it as much as you can!
