took a trial clinic this weekend and loved it!!!!! the guy who runs the school does a 3 phase training program then takes you out to competitions when he thinks you're ready. i think i'm gonna go for it!!!!!

just gotta find some second hard gear to get me started, buying all new gear is over $1500 :eek::eek:

There is a local (redneck) Bar that has a mechanical bull once a month. I usually attend a hand full of times a year and its alot of fun but harder then it looks:rolleyes::) does that count??:D

I'm pretty sure I still have my stuff laying around. Haven't ridden since 2007. (Got deployed, then married!) I have my old vest, some chaps, rope, spurs and maybe some resin for your glove. You're on your own for a set of bells and a glove though. Let me know if you're interested. I have pictures too.

I dabble with team roping a little bit, at the end of a practice night when we are good and drunk we grab the calves as they come out of the shoot by hand jump on and hang on for dear life! Not like riding a bull but they go really fast in a straight line...LOL, gotta have fun some how right?

You should try breaking a new bull before he gets put on the circuit. The last one I helped break came out of the chute, bucked maybe twice in a straight line across the pen and made it his mission in life to smash the annoying thing on his back (me) into the metal pipe fence. Little terd almost got me too, but I got off in time and on my terms. His Kung Fu was weak!:D

Yep. Sounds like a plan. I'd advise slicking down your chaps with armor all too in case you get stepped on. Might be a better idea to just not get stepped on though haha.
