A good Bull Rider
To be a good bull rider, does a guy need to be born with the ability or can he be taught bull riding even if he does not have the natural ability?
Have you known of a great bull rider that started from an environment and life style completely alien from the western and cowboy life and just decided that one day “I am going to be a bull rider” and became one?

Yes! Sean Willingham.
Bobby DelVecchio from the Bronx became a great bull rider. He was inducted into the Ring of Honor 2 yrs ago.
I am fifteen and I atend Winona High School I go to Cross Brand Cowboy Church. I am currently in 4 States High School Rodeo,and Region 4 High School Rodeo. I have been riding bulls for a year now and I want to make this my career as well as attend SFA to learn more about stock contracting.I have attended Lyle Sankey’s rodeo. I need and want to grow in my riding and would like a few pointers if possible.I don’t know what made me decide to do this but I have had it in my heart since I was 5 yrs old. I like to work with kids and like to tell them about T.A.G.(talking about God).
Commenting usually isnt my thing, but ive spent an hour on the site, so thanks for the info
Greetings from Tim.
From meeting and seeing the bull riders from North Carolina, they did not grow up in the environment and raised to be a “cowboy”. I do not believe that it is necessary to be a “cowboy” to be a bull rider. JB Mauney and Brian Canter are great bull riders and Adriano worked on a farm and drove a tractor but all of these guys had great natural ability and a love of the sport that has made them great in what they do and did.
So, the answer to the question is, no you do not have to be raised in a certain way or be as they say a “cowboy”. You do have to have a natural ability and a passion to be the best you can be and all of these guys have proven the point. Of course Adriano was a three time World Champion but these other bull riders are still very young and have the passion.
This is certainly my initial stop by and I really like what I’m seeing. Your weblog is so much fun to look over, quite compelling as well as informative. I’ll undoubtedly recommend it to my friends. Nevertheless, I did have some problem with the commenting. It kept giving me an problem whenever I clicked on publish comment. I hope, that can be fixed. Many thanks
