In Episode 20 of the Black Knuckle Ranch Podcast, we sit down with professional bull rider Guthrie Long to talk about what it actually takes to chase a career in bull riding—when you don't have the backing, the gear, or the easy road.

From sleeping at gas pumps waiting for a check to clear… to winning big on empty pockets… this one's packed with grit, humor, and hard-earned perspective.

• Driving across the country broke—and winning anyway
• The reality of chasing PBR vs PRCA opportunities
• Getting knocked out, broken bones, and still coming back
• Why staying healthy matters more than riding one more bull
• The difference between "holding on" and actually riding
• Inside the chute: why it's the most dangerous place to be
• Winning $12K with almost nothing in your pocket
• Sleeping at a gas pump waiting for money to hit your account
• Getting dragged, knocked out, and still arguing you made the ride 😂
• Missing out on thousands because nobody hit the challenge button
• Why bull riding is a dance, not just hanging on
• Riding with your feet vs relying on the rope
• How mindset, preparation, and experience separate riders
• Why the best riders don't panic—they react
• Competing with worn-out gear and no support
• Working a job and chasing bull riding at the same time
• The difference between top-tier pros and everyone else
• Why most people never make it
