first off.run ur knees up, u have to start from a base. u cant ride bulls barbie doll style. second.drive ur shoulder dont post up, post out and up u want ur belly button over ur bullrope when he rares..third if ur gunna worry about your feet turn them up, spurs arent there to right with u use your knees to your bulls and shoulders not your spurs! keep ur chest out at all times keep your shoulders square with your hips.if you get your knees up and chest out and stay square youll ride 10x better
ur gettin out over him good, but then u dont set your hips you just sit on ur ass and lean back, if u get on bulls that are flat and wont set u back to ur rope there gonna run u out the back door
took a 4 ft shaft and hammered it into the ground about 2 foot...i have a plate on the bottom mounted so it wont go any deeper...the top part has a bearing which allows it to spin
pivot point: built up the sides with some square tubing and mounted bearings on each side...then ran a shaft through and welded the long square tubing to the shaft...it is pretty much a spinning see-saw
barrel: most important part of a drop barrel is to have the barrel 6 inches away from the pivot point...according to gary leffew that is what makes the drop barrel so effective
counter balance: at the other end of the square tubing are weights...i have them on some all-threads so you can move them back and forth to balance out different riders weights...then you have a handle...it is a big workout for the operator...
all the stuff i got were scraps from junkyard and work...i had to buy the 2 small bearings - they were cheap 3/4" bearings...bout $20 for both...and i bout some square tubing
i think it would work better if you used extension springs instead of a counter weight if you are using your own
