Bull riders are a breed of their own. In no other sport do they have to put their lives on the line and be outmatched 10 to 1 in size. The average bull rider weighs 150 lbs. while the average bull weighs 1500 to 1800 lbs. They have to pay an entry fee to compete against their best friends to win. There is no team, they have no team coach, no travel director, no manager. They have to make their own travel arrangements, their own hotel reservations, they have to pick the rodeos they want to go to and when you add it all up, the sport of Pro Rodeo makes all other sports look like games.
