There are no timeouts. No towels to throw in. There is only one man, one bull, and 8 desperate seconds. More than 23 years ago, 20 men invested $1,000 each to get it started. This is pain… and fear… and blood… and courage… and glory. THIS IS THE PBR. In just two decades, we have witnessed the dream of 20 bull riders grow into a global phenomenon that has seen more than $150 million in prize money awarded. The PBR turns 23 in 2016, and will award more than $10 million in prize money, including a $1 million bonus to the PBR World Champion, the season’s best bull rider. 20 FOUNDING MEMBERS OF THE PROFESSIONAL BULL RIDERS David Bailey Jr. Clint Branger Mark Cain Adam Carrillo Gilbert Carrillo Cody Custer Jerome Davis Bobby Delvecchio Mike Erikson David Fournier Michael Gaffney Tuff Hedeman Cody Lambert Scott Mendes Daryl Mills Ty Murray Ted Nuce Aaron Semas Jim Sharp Brent Thurman 2016 PBR Media Guide | 3 THE PBR THE PBR STORY H eadquartered in Pueblo, Colo., the Professional Bull Riders was created in 1992 by a group of 20 visionary bull riders who broke away from the traditional rodeo scene. The group was seeking mainstream attention for the sport of professional bull riding, the most popular sport at a rodeo. “We wanted to create a better product for the fans, so that when they tuned in they were seeing the best of the best every time,” said PBR co-founder and nine-time World Champion Ty Murray. “Expectations have been exceeded immensely and the fact that this sport continues to grow is a gratifying notion, one that supports all the hard work and dedication of every member of the PBR.” The founders believed that bull riding deserved to be in the limelight and that it could succeed as a standalone sport. Each rider invested a hardearned $1,000, some borrowing from family and friends, to start the PBR. “This is the only sport in the world that I can take ANYONE to see, whether they know anything about it or not, and I guarantee you that they won’t be able to take their eyes off of it,” says Murray. In 2007, Spire Capital Partners finalized a deal with the PBR Board of Directors to acquire the interests of many of the retired founding riders and invest in the growth of the organization. Those first 20 bull riders had turned their $1,000 into millions. In May 2015, the PBR was acquired completely by WME|IMG, the global leader in sports, entertainment, media and fashion. More than 600 bull riders from the United States, Australia, Brazil, Canada, and Mexico hold PBR memberships. They 4 | 2016 PBR Media Guide compete in more than 300 bull riding events each year on either the nationallytelevised Built Ford Tough Series, the BlueDEF Tour, or the Touring Pro Division, the developmental tour of the PBR. There are also tours in Australia, Brazil, Canada and Mexico. The ultimate goal is to qualify for the Built Ford Tough World Finals in Las Vegas, the richest bull riding event on the planet, with the winner receiving the World Championship buckle and a $1 million bonus. The 20 original founders took a serious gamble when they pooled their limited resources to fund the grassroots operation, but the risk has certainly paid off. Investors like Spire Capital Partners and WME|IMG, and partnerships with Ford, Wrangler, Jack Daniel’s, Dickies®, and the city of Las Vegas have helped the PBR annually award more than $10 million. The success of the PBR has made it one of the most prolific sports on television. The elite Built Ford Tough Series is televised every week on CBS, CBS Sports Network and networks around the world, and PBR broadcasts reach more than half a billion households in 40 nations and territories. The combination of raw sport and quality entertainment has propelled live attendance growth as well. Annual attendance of more than 3 million fans each season, compared to 310,000 in 1995, indicates that the PBR is making an indelible impression. The PBR has rapidly transformed one of the fastest-growing sports in America into a worldwide phenomenon. Capitalizing on the popularity of bull riding around the world, the PBR has attracted many international athletes who have traveled to the United States to compete exclusively in the PBR. THE PBR THE PBR AT A GLANCE • World’s premier bull riding organization. • Founded in 1992 by bull riders for bull riders. • America’s fastest growing sport (Forbes.com, 2013) • Features the world’s best bull riders against the fiercest bucking bulls in the business in an 8-second showdown. • More than $150 million awarded in prize money; 28 riders have earned more than $1 million. • PBR tours annually award more than $10 million in prize money. • In 2015, J.B. Mauney became the $6 million man and the richest athlete in Western sports history when he captured the 2015 PBR World Championship. His 2015 winnings of $1,540,942 brought his career earnings to $6,708,492. • In 2014 three-time PBR World Champion Silvano Alves (2014, 2012, 2011) became the richest western athlete in history when he won the 2014 PBR World Champion title and his third $1 million bonus for career earnings to date of $5.266 million. • The elite Built Ford Tough Series is televised every week on CBS, CBS Sports Network and networks around the world. • PBR broadcasts reach more than half a billion households in 40 nations and territories around the world. • Nominated for 2010 Sports League of the Year by Sports Business Journal alongside the National Football League, the National Basketball Association and Major League Baseball. • The 2013 PBR World Finals was nominated for Best Single Sport Event by the SportsTravel Awards alongside the Boston Marathon, the NBA All-Star Game, Super Bowl XLVIII and the NHL Winter Classic. • The PBR’s 2014 Monster Energy Bulls on the Beach was nominated by the SportsTravel Awards as the Best New Sports event alongside the College Football Playoff National Championship, USA Cycling Fat Bike National Championship, USA Ultimate Beach Championships and U.S. Bowling Congress mixed. • 600+ bull riders compete in PBR-sanctioned competitions in Australia, Brazil, Canada, Mexico and the United States. • The BFTS has visited 94 cities overall since it began, making the most stops in California. California has hosted 48 Built Ford Tough Series events. • PBR trucks travel an average of 32,000 miles each year/season across the country, equaling approximately 500 hours of driving (not including stops). • Bushwacker’s buckoff streak of 42 riders is the longest of any Built Ford Tough Series bull. 2016 PBR Media Guide | 5 THE PBR • In 1995, more than 310,000 fans attended PBR events across the nation. Today the PBR attracts more than 3 million live event attendees each year. • 750 tons of dirt are brought into each arena, which equals 1,500,000 pounds of dirt. • On the Built Ford Tough Series there have been more than 147,796 outs since the beginning of the PBR. • Roughly 120,000 pounds of bull are brought to each arena on a weekly basis (based on a two-day event). • The PBR conducts more than 300 bull riding events per year in which riders can compete between the elite Built Ford Tough Series, the BlueDEF Tour, the Touring Pro Division, and the PBR International circuits (PBR Australia, PBR Brazil, PBR Canada and PBR Mexico). • A bull rider must be 18 years of age to purchase a PBR membership. After he purchases the PBR membership he will receive a riding permit. This riding permit will give him the ability to enter the Touring Pro Division. Once he wins $2,500 in prize money he will be upgraded from permit status to cardholder status, however, he has to continue to win at least $2,500 each year to maintain his cardholder status. • While the arena size depends upon the size and shape of the hosting venue, a PBR arena typically averages 85 feet by 140 feet. The steel bucking chutes, panels, gates and posts that encircle the arena collectively weigh 50,000 pounds and, when assembled, equal 1,800 feet or six football fields worth of connected steel. The steel materials travel from event to event on a 53-foot long flatbed trailer pulled by a semi-truck. • Bulls begin bucking at 2-3 years of age. Though a bucking bull is often in his prime as an athlete around age five or six, many bulls buck past the age of 10. • The PBR World Champion annually is presented with the coveted PBR World Champion’s gold buckle, the ultimate symbol of achievement in bull riding. The custom-made belt buckle is valued at more than $10,000. • One of the most anticipated parts of any Built Ford Tough Series event is its opening ceremony, a multi-media production that incorporates elaborate props, stage lighting, video, music and pyrotechnics. The production typically runs 15 minutes and costs roughly $750 per minute. • Luke Snyder, the reigning Ironman of the PBR, competed in 275 consecutive events, a streak that began when he debuted on the Built Ford Tough Series in 2001 and ended in 2010 when he was not ranked high enough to qualify for the Iron Cowboy Invitational in Arlington, Texas. • Joao Ricardo Vieira earned the most money ever by a rookie in 2013 at almost $470,000 on his way to being named Rookie of the Year. 6 | 2016 PBR Media Guide THE TELEVISION PRODUCTION Professional Bull Riders Built Ford Tough Series telecasts are produced for the PBR under a multi-year agreement with David Neal Productions, a Los Angeles-based production company led by 34-time Emmy® Award winner and Peabody Award winner David Neal, who serves as executive producer.

Despite having fewer broadcasts, the PBR saw an increase of more than 20 percent in the total number of viewers in 2012 as compared to 2011. The growth was fueled by a strong commitment from CBS Sports Network, as well as an increased number of CBS broadcasts that received strong ratings.

In November 1998, the Rider Relief Fund was founded following Jerome Davis’ accident while dismounting Jerry Nelson’s bull, Knock ‘em Out John. The injury Davis sustained ended his career as a bull rider. The outpouring of care and concern from friends, fans, sponsors, participants in and around the sport of bull riding, and members of the PBR Board of Directors resulted in the establishment of the Rider Relief Fund, a non-profit, 501(c)(3), organization. Today, the Rider Relief Fund continues its mission … providing financial assistance to the human athletes injured in the sport of bull riding. The Rider Relief Fund supports athletes — bull riders and bullfighters — at all levels of competition. When one of bull riding’s best and a fan favorite was knocked from competition, the Rider Relief Fund was there and didn’t let the injury end his association with the sport he loves. Jerome and his wife Tiffany are not only top-notch stock contractors in North Carolina, they also help many young bull riders through their ranching operations and bull riding schools and events. Jerome and Tiffany continue to give back to the sport.

He does it through a combination of athletic talent and a natural flair for entertainment. Rasmussen captivates fans young and old every night with his quick wit, comical stunts and dance moves. “As a kid, I would dream about entertaining people,” says Rasmussen. “I’d take a tennis racket and turn on some music and play it like a guitar.” Rasmussen was an all-state football player and track star in high school as well as playing in the band and being a member of the choir. He was awarded his bachelor’s degree in education from Western Montana College and was a high school math and history teacher before stepping into the barrel. Before beginning his exclusive association with the PBR, Rasmussen was the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo barrel man and PRCA Rodeo Clown of the Year eight times. He was selected to work the Canadian National Finals Rodeo four times and the National Circuit Finals three times. He lives in Choteau, Mont., with his wife, Katie, and their daughters, Shelby Rae and Paige. Rasmussen finds time to regularly participate in community activities, including speaking at area schools. “Most people don’t get to do what they dreamed of doing as a child,” says Rasmussen. “I feel pretty lucky that I grew up to live my dream. This kind of work actually doesn’t feel like working at all.” 2016 PBR Media Guide | 21 THE PBR ANNOUNCERS ARENA ANNOUNCERS F ans in the arena at PBR events know that they won’t miss a minute of the action thanks to veteran announcers Brandon Bates, Clint Adkins and Matt West.

That is just another day at the office for the Dickies® Bullfighters. The Secret Service of the PBR, these men regularly place their bodies in front of heads, horns, and hooves to protect the bull riders: Shorty Gorham of Cotulla, Texas; Jesse Byrne of Okotoks, Alberta; Frank Newsom of Paoli, Okla.; and Cody Webster of Wayne, Okla. DICKIES® BULLFIGHTERS UNIFORMS The bullfighter’s uniform has changed over the years. The oversized clothing, which lent itself to the “clown” role, has evolved into a jersey and shorts. The Dickies® Bullfighters loose-fitting uniform allows maximum movement. The size and fit also serve another purpose - making the bullfighter a bigger target. As Frank Newsom says, “the bull might think he’s got you, when he’s just got your shorts.” The vest worn by bullfighters is different than the one worn by bull riders. It is worn underneath the jersey and features a hard plastic outer shell on the front and back. The vest also has breakaway construction in the event the bullfighter is hooked. Underneath the shorts the bullfighters wear a padded girdle that has both foam and plastic padding. 2016 PBR Media Guide | 23 THE PBR BULLFIGHTERS SHORTY GORHAM Shorty Gorham joined the PBR Dickies® Bullfighters in 2006, and has been voted by the riders to work the Built Ford Tough World Finals each of the last 10 years.

Gorham instructed contestants on NBC television show “America’s Toughest Jobs” in 2008. He taught 12-time Pro Bowl linebacker Junior Seau on VERSUS’ “Sports Jobs with Junior Seau” in 2009, and in 2009 and 2010 he hosted VERSUS’ “Best of the West.” His father-in-law is 2007 PBR Ring of Honor inductee Phil Lyne, who won two PRCA world all-around titles. Raised in San Juan Capistrano, Calif., Gorham lives in Cotulla, Texas, with his wife, Amanda, and their children, Tanner and London. FRANK NEWSOM Frank Newsom is in his 17th season as a member of the PBR Dickies® Bullfighters.

He instructed contestants on NBC television show “America’s Toughest Jobs” in 2008.

He will get more chances to work Built Ford Tough events as he will be the fourth bullfighter for the 2016 season. He currently lives in Wayne, Oklahoma. THE S PBR BELT BUCKLE ince Western riding sports began, the “trophy” of choice has been the belt buckle.

There is nothing ordinary about the PBR or its athletes. So, hang on tight…at least for 8 seconds! RIDE SCORE E ach ride is worth up to 100 points: 50 points for the bull and 50 points for the rider if he successfully rides the bull for 8 seconds. Four judges award up to 25 points each to the rider and the bull. All four of the judges’ scores are combined and then divided by two for the official score. Half of the 100 points possible is based on the performance of the bull and how difficult he is to ride. Judges look for bulls with speed, power, and drop in the front end; kick in the back end, direction changes and body rolls. A body roll occurs when a bull is in the air and kicks either his hind hooves or all four hooves to the side. The more of these characteristics a bull displays during a ride, the higher the degree of difficulty. Judges are allowed to award a cowboy a “re-ride” if they feel the bull did not perform at the level of other bulls in the competition and did not give the rider a fair chance to earn a high score. The other half of the 100 points is based on how adept the rider is. Judges look for constant control and good body position throughout the ride. Spurring the bull is not required, but extra style points are awarded for doing so. crosses the plane of the bucking chutes and stops when the bull rider’s hand comes out of the rope or he touches the ground. The bull rider must ride with one hand and is disqualified if he touches himself or the bull during the 8-second ride. Rides of 90 points or higher are considered outstanding. The highest score in PBR history is 96.5 points. Bubba Dunn set the record on Promise Land at Tampa, Fla., in 1999. Chris Shivers tied the mark on Jim Jam at Tampa in 2000 and on Dillinger at the PBR Built Ford Tough World Finals in 2001. The last rider to tie the record was Michael Gaffney at Nampa, Idaho, in 2004. JUDGES Each Built Ford Tough Series event has four judges who each have 50 points (25 points for the bull and 25 points for the rider) to distribute on each ride. The scores from each of the four judges are added together then divided by two to determine the rider’s total score. Judges are hired by PBR administration using strict and extensive qualifications. The rider must stay aboard the bull for 8 seconds to receive a score. The clock begins when the bull’s shoulder or hip 2016 PBR Media Guide | 27 THE PBR BULL RIDING BASICS BUILT FORD TOUGH SERIES SCORING: T he PBR Built Ford Tough World Champion is the best – the winningest - bull rider of the season and thereby accumulates the most world points during the regular season and the Built Ford Tough World Finals. Prior to 2015, the PBR points system was based on ensuring that the most consistent rider was rewarded by becoming the PBR World Champion. It has, however, always been the intent of the PBR’s founders that the bull rider who consistently wins the most is the one who should win events and ultimately the world championship. Therefore, starting with the 2015 PBR season, the sport has adopted a restructured points system. The new points system rewards bull riders who perform at the highest level of the sport both within individual events and throughout the season on all of the PBR’s tours – Built Ford Tough Series, 15/15 Bucking Battles, BlueDEF Tour, Touring Pro Division and international tours in Australia, Brazil, Canada and Mexico. While the ride scores will determine placement in each round of an event and in the event aggregate, to determine both event and world standings, they will no longer be included in the PBR world standings points totals. The points system prior to 2015 is below.

BUILT FORD TOUGH WORLD FINALS SCORING T he PBR World Finals points system was modified in 2004 to ensure that the PBR World Champion was not determined prior to the World Finals. It gave virtually all of the riders in the Top 10 at least a mathematical chance of becoming the PBR World Champion. A new points system has been instituted in 2015 which not only makes the race for the world title very competitive; it also places the emphasis on the most important achievement in sports – winning.

Headgear - Cowboy Hat or Helmet Wearing a cowboy hat is primarily traditional, however helmets with protective facemasks are being worn by more and more bull riders. Helmets shield the head from threatening blows. Facemasks protect both the face and jaw. Some riders feel that the helmet and facemask restrict their vision. Others think the added weight upsets their balance and timing. Those that wear them are grateful for the added protection they provide. Often riders will wear a helmet or facemask after a serious head, face or jaw injury. Choosing a hat or helmet used to be a matter of preference. However, beginning with the 2013 season, any contestant born on or after October 15, 1994 is required to wear a protective helmet deemed by the contestant, in the contestant’s professional opinion as a professional bull rider, to be suitable and appropriate for use in the sport of professional bull riding. It must be worn at all times while in the bucking chutes and /or while present in the immediate competition area (e.g. on the dirt) of any PBR sanctioned event. The contestant shall be prohibited from competing in any PBR sanctioned event without wearing such helmet. 2. Protective Vest Every bull rider must wear the protective vest which has dramatically reduced the number of internal injuries. Developed by PBR Livestock Director and co-founder Cody Lambert, the vest absorbs shock and dissipates blows while protecting the torso from direct contact with the bull’s hooves and horns. 3. Glove A bull rider wears a glove on his riding hand. The leather glove, which protects both the hand and fingers, is secured around the wrist with tape to keep it from being torn from the rider’s hand by the tremendous force of the bull. 4. Rosin Each bull rider carries a container of rosin, a sticky substance that provides a little extra grip. Every rider has his own preference and recipe for rosin, typically adding saddle soap or Neutrogena soap. 5. Chaps (pronounced shaps) Each pair of chaps is custom-made. They reflect a rider’s personality while also displaying sponsor logos. Chaps can also provide some protection, particularly in the chute. 6. Bull Rope Braided from nylon or grass, the bull rope is placed around the bull’s chest behind his front legs. The flat rope has a handle braided into it, constructed partially of leather, which is the bull rider’s only anchor for the duration of his ride. The rider runs the rope through his fingers and grips it to keep it tight around the bull. There are two varieties of bull ropes, American and Brazilian. The Brazilian version is slightly stiffer and is pulled from the opposite side, meaning a rider using his right hand would have his rope pulled from the left side. The same rider using an American rope would have it pulled from the right side. Bull ropes typically last one season, 30 | 2016 PBR Media Guide THE PBR BULL RIDING BASICS 1 2 3 5 6 8 7 4 2016 PBR Media Guide | 31 THE PBR BULL RIDING BASICS although some riders do replace them on a more frequent basis. At the bottom of the rope hangs a metal bell designed to give the rope some weight so that it will fall off the bull as soon as the rider is bucked off or dismounts the animal. The bell has smooth, round edges and does not harm the bull in any way. 7. Boots Bull riders wear boots that have a special ridge on the heel which helps their spurs stay in place. Some riders wear a traditional pull-on boot while others prefer a lace-up boot. Some of the riders who wear pull-on boots will tie them on to prevent them from being pulled off during the ride. 8. Spurs Spurs help the cowboy stay in position on a bull. The rowels are dull so they don’t injure or cut the skin of the bull. The spurring action displays the level of complete control the cowboy possesses during the ride. ADDITIONAL EQUIPMENT: Protective Cup While hard to believe, bull riders do not wear protective cups. Riders typically wear tight spandex girdles or bicycle shorts. Mouthpiece Bull riders wear a protective mouthpiece to help reduce the risk of damage to their teeth, resulting from the jarring action of the bull bucking and from impact with the bull or the ground. 32 | 2016 PBR Media Guide THE PBR BULL RIDING BASICS 2016 PBR Media Guide | 33 THE PBR GLOSSARY American Bucking Bull, Incorporated (ABBI) Due to the popularity of the sport of professional bull riding and the celebrity of the bucking bulls themselves, the PBR developed the official bucking bred cattle registry, American Bucking Bull, Inc. ABBI offers valuable incentives to breeders and preserves the lineage of the top PBR bulls. Announcer The announcer explains the action and provides statistics on bulls, riders and stock contractors to fans attending a live event. The current PBR Built Ford Tough Series announcers are Brandon Bates and Clint Adkins. Arena The arena is the area where the bull riding takes place. The size depends on the venue, but the average size for a Built Ford Tough Series event is 85 feet by 140 feet. The bucking chutes, panels, gates and posts that comprise the arena weigh approximately 50,000 pounds and are equal in length to six football fields (1,800 feet). The materials are transported from event to event. Arena Director The arena director is responsible for maintaining the flow of the event by balancing the production and competition, and, during televised events, the commercial breaks. The current arena director is Jerome Robinson. Average The “average” or “aggregate” represents the total ride score of the bull riders at an event. “Winning the average” means the bull rider finished the event with the highest total ride score. 34 | 2016 PBR Media Guide Away from His Hand A term used by bull riders to describe the situation when a bull spins in the opposite direction of their riding hand. For example, a right-handed bull rider on a bull that spins to the left is riding a bull “away from his hand.” Back Pens Located behind the arena bucking chutes, this maze of steel panels serves as the holding area for bulls before and after competition. Bell See bull rope. Belt Buckle See gold buckle. BlueDEF Tour The expansion tour of the PBR featuring the newest stars of the PBR competing alongside the stars of the Built Ford Tough Series for PBR World Standing Points. The BlueDEF Tour feeds the Built Ford Tough Series with new talent – the winner of each BlueDEF Tour event gets the opportunity to compete at a Built Ford Tough Series event to earn the points necessary to remain on the elite tour. Bodacious One of the most famous bulls in history, the 1,900-pound Charbray gained notoriety for injuring some of the PBR’s most talented riders, including 1995 PBR World Champion Tuff Hedeman in the final round of the 1995 PBR World Finals. Several jumps into the ride, Hedeman suffered multiple fractures after his face collided with the back of Bodacious’ head. Owned by Texas stock contractor Sammy Adams, Bodacious was retired THE from competition in December 1995 and died of natural causes in 2000 at the age of 12. Breeding Programs For years, finding a good bucking bull was a frustrating matter of chance for stock contractors, since a bull will only buck if he has the innate desire and natural instinct to do so. The introduction of breeding programs has proven that genetics are the main factor in determining a bull’s desire and ability to buck, and science has made the business of owning bucking bulls one of patience and money as opposed to luck. Buck Off If a rider is thrown from the bull before the required 8 seconds, he has bucked off and does not earn a score. If used as a noun or adjective it is “buckoff,” e.g., “This rider has had nine buckoffs in a row,” versus “This bull will buck off 90 percent of his riders.” Bucking Chute See chute Built Ford Tough Series The major-league tour of the Professional Bull Riders, featuring the Top 35 bull riders based on PBR World Standings Points. For the first five events of 2016, the men competing will be the Top 35 men who qualified for the 2015 PBR World Finals. After the fifth event, the Top 35 men in the PBR World Standings will compete weekly. Built Ford Tough Championship Round The 15 riders with the highest cumulative scores following the first two rounds of a two-day event or the first three rounds of a three-day event at each Built Ford Tough Series event PBR GLOSSARY will advance to the Built Ford Tough Championship Round where they will face the event’s most difficult bulls as determined by the PBR livestock director. Built Ford Tough World Finals Event Champion The bull rider who has earned the most PBR World Standings Points at the Built Ford Tough World Finals will be declared the PBR Built Ford Tough World Finals Event Champion. Bull Bulls that compete in the PBR come in a variety of shapes, sizes and colors. Each has a distinct personality and traits that make him unique. Bucking bulls are in their athletic prime around 5 or 6 years old; however, many buck past the age of 10. When retired from competition, most bulls are used as sires in breeding programs. Bull Rope Wrapped around the chest of the bull, directly behind the animal’s front legs, the bull rope is what the bull rider grips during the ride. The rope is never tied and is only kept in place by the rider’s closed hand. Each rope has a metal bell to provide weight and allow the rope to slide from the bull as soon as the rider releases his hand, either by design while dismounting or when bucked off. Bushwacker The three-time PBR World Champion bull (2014, 2013, 2011) who holds the record for longest buck off streak in PBR history at 42 buckoffs. In 2013 J.B. Mauney successfully rode him in Tulsa Oklahoma, during his ninth attempt for 95.25 points. It was the first time Bushwacker had been ridden in four years. Bushwacker retired in 2014 after 2016 PBR Media Guide | 35 THE PBR GLOSSARY the 2014 PBR World Finals. As only the second bull ever to win the title of PBR World Champion three times, Bushwacker is considered the greatest bull in PBR history. Change Directions harm’s way. Dink Sometimes a rider leaves the chute on a bull that neither bucks nor spins. This is a bad bull, called a “dink”. This is defined as when the bull moves in a different direction, either forward or backward or side to side. Occasionally, an announcer will say a bull has “changed directions” when he changes the direction in which he is spinning. Dillinger Chute The bull ride is complete either when the bull rider has met the 8-second requirement or when he is bucked off. Bull riders who are still in control when the 8-second buzzer sounds must dismount, getting off the bull as safely as possible. A bull rider typically uses his free hand to release his riding hand, and then flings himself off as the bull is kicking, using the momentum of the kick to propel his body away from the bull. If possible, the rider will wait until the bull is moving or spinning away from his riding hand at which point he will dismount in the direction of his riding hand. Each bull ride originates from a gated steel box called a chute. The bull rider and the bull remain in their designated chute until the arena is clear and the rider has strapped his hand into his bull rope. When the rider is ready he nods his head, signaling the gate man to open the chute gate, releasing the bull and allowing the ride to begin. Chute Boss The chute boss works closely with the arena director, helping with the flow of the event by making sure the riders are prompt in their set up and don’t spend too much time in the chute prior to riding. Cover If a rider covers his bull it means that he has successfully stayed aboard for 8 seconds and earned a score. Dickies® Bullfighters The Dickies® Bullfighters distract the bull away from a rider who has been bucked off or who has dismounted following an 8-second ride. The Dickies® Bullfighters allow the rider to get back onto his feet and out of 36 | 2016 PBR Media Guide One of the most recognizable bulls, this black, white-faced bull owned by Herrington Cattle Co. became the first two-time PBR World Champion Bull, earning the honor in 2000 and 2001. Dismount Disqualified Bull riders will be disqualified, and will not receive a score, if they touch the bull or themselves with a free hand or arm during the ride, or if the riding hand comes free from the bull rope before satisfying the 8-second requirement. Doctor Release In order to withdraw from a PBR event due to injury without any penalty, a rider must submit written proof from a physician stating that his injury prohibits him from competing. Once THE a rider submits a doctor release, he is ineligible to compete in any PBR competition for 10 days. Down in the Well The situation where a bull is spinning in one direction and the force pulls the rider down the side of the bull and into the motion’s vortex. This dangerous scenario often results in a bull rider getting hung up on the bull. PBR GLOSSARY Enter Bull riders must contact the PBR and officially enter an event before they are allowed to compete. Entertainer The PBR has implemented a draft system at Built Ford Tough Series events whereby the riders choose the bull that they will ride during the Built Ford Tough Championship Round as opposed to the selection being determined by a random draw. The order of the draft is determined by the event standings, with the leader selecting first, and the choices proceeding through the 15th ranked rider. The entertainer, formerly referred to as the barrel man, entertains the crowd using comical dialogue and dances, when bulls are being loaded and during television commercial breaks and intermissions. In years past, the barrel man was an active protection bullfighter who specialized in using a barrel placed in the arena to protect himself and downed riders unable to reach the safety of the fence. Over time, barrel men assumed most of the comical duties of what were then called “rodeo clowns.” Today, the entertainer’s duties are exclusively performance related, though the barrel itself is still used for safety purposes. Flint Rasmussen is the PBR’s current Entertainer. Draw Fades Draft The list of bull riders and the bulls with which they are randomly paired is called the draw. The draw for Built Ford Tough Series events is typically created by computer on Wednesday prior to an event. If a bull rider says he has a good draw, it means he is happy with the bull that has been selected for him to ride. 8 Seconds Eight seconds is the amount of time a bull rider must stay aboard his bull to receive a score. “8 Seconds” is also a movie about World Champion bull rider Lane Frost, who was fatally injured at the 1989 Cheyenne Frontier Days in Wyoming. Additionally, 8 Seconds is the official souvenir program sold at Built Ford Tough Series events. If a bull fades it means that it moves backwards while simultaneously spinning or bucking, often in more than one direction. Flank Man The person who fits the flank strap onto the bull, and, if necessary, tightens it as the bull exits the chute. Bulls respond in different ways to flank straps, so the flank man must know the bull’s tendencies to ensure he does not have the strap too tight or too loose. The flank man is often the stock contractor who owns the bull or someone who works for the contractor. 2016 PBR Media Guide | 37 THE PBR GLOSSARY Flank Strap A cloth strap, often lined with sheep’s wool, wrapped around the flank of a bull, similar to a person’s belt. Its purpose is to enhance the bull’s natural bucking motion, encouraging the animal to extend his hind legs while trying to get the rider onto the ground. The flank strap is never placed around the bull’s genitals. There are never sharp or foreign objects placed between the strap and the animal. If the flank strap is pulled too tight it restricts the bull’s motion. The flank strap is designed for quick release and is removed immediately after the bull exits the arena. Foul If something happens during the ride that gives the bull an unfair advantage over the bull rider, it is considered a foul and the rider is given the option of another ride. Examples of fouls include the bull making contact with the bucking chute at the beginning of the ride, or if the flank strap falls off before the ride has been completed. Free Hand The hand that is not used to grip the bull rope, it must stay in the air throughout the ride. If the free hand makes contact with the bull or with the bull rider before 8 seconds elapse, the rider will be disqualified and will not receive a score. Freight Trained If, after the rider has dismounted or is bucked off, a bull decides to run over the rider, the bullfighter or the entertainer, the victim has been “freight trained”. Gate Man Positioned in front of the chute from 38 | 2016 PBR Media Guide which the ride is about to begin, the gate man begins the ride by pulling a rope tied to the chute gate which opens the gate on the bull rider’s cue. The gate man is responsible for quickly opening the gate as wide as possible while getting out of the way as the bull and bull rider exit the chute. Glove Bull riders wear a thick, soft leather glove designed to protect them from rope burns while letting them grip their bull rope. Gold Buckle The PBR World Champion is presented with a custom-made gold buckle which is the ultimate symbol of achievement and valued at more than $10,000. Glen Keeley Award Presented to the Canadian bull rider who earns the most money during the season, the award is presented in memory of Glen Keeley, a Canadian bull rider who was fatally injured on March 24, 2000, during a PBR event in Albuquerque, N.M. Head Hunter A bull that is constantly looking for a two-legged target to hit is called a “head hunter”. Honest Bucker While it is unusual, a bull that bucks the same way every time out of the chute is known as an “honest bucker”. Hook, hooked, hooking This occurs when a bull strikes a bull rider or a bullfighter with his horns. Hung Up If a rider is unable to free his hand from his bull rope when dismounting, he is hung up, and often requires the THE assistance of bullfighters to release him. Proper usage is to refer to a rider being “hung up on” a bull, though bull riders will sometimes use the term “hung up to” a bull. Into His Hand The scenario where a bull spins in the same direction of the rider’s riding hand. For example, if a right-handed rider is on a bull that spins to the right then he is riding a bull “into his hand.” Judges The score for each bull rider is determined by a group of judges, who are hired by the PBR administration using strict and extensive qualifications. Each Built Ford Tough Series event has four judges, who each have 50 points (25 points for the bull and 25 points for the rider) to distribute on each ride. The scores from each of the four judges are added together then divided by two to determine the rider’s total score. Kissing the Bull A bucking bull is very dangerous, and when the back of the bull’s head meets the face of the rider, the rider has “kissed the bull”. Lane Frost/Brent Thurman Award This award is presented to the bull rider with the highest-scored ride at the Built Ford Tough World Finals. The award is named in memory of Lane Frost, who was fatally injured at the 1989 Cheyenne Frontier Days in Wyoming, and Brent Thurman, who suffered fatal injuries at the 1994 National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas. Left-Hand Delivery When the chute gate opens to the bull and bull rider’s left. PBR GLOSSARY Little Yellow Jacket The first three-time World Champion Bull, Little Yellow Jacket won the award in 2002, 2003 and 2004 before retiring in 2005. He made history in 2003 at the World Arena in Colorado Springs when he bucked off Chris Shivers in less than two seconds, preventing the two-time PBR World Champion from collecting a $1 million bonus presented by Ford Trucks while earning his owners $50,000. The famous bull was 15 years old when he passed away in 2011. Livestock Director Responsible for determining the bulls used at each event, this individual works with stock contractors nationwide to ensure that the highestcaliber bucking bulls are used in PBR competition.

The PBR World Champion Bull/ Mikel Moreno Award winner is the finalist who accumulates the highest total bull score during the PBR World Finals. The award is named in memory of stock contractor and PBR pickup man Julio Moreno’s son, Mikel Moreno, who passed away from leukemia in 2006. PBR World Standings The overall season ranking is determined by PBR World Standings Points. Each rider begins the season with zero points. Points are accumulated beginning with the first event of the season, including BlueDEF Tour, Touring Pro Division and international events, continuing through the Built Ford Tough World Finals. 40 | 2016 PBR Media Guide PBR World Standings Points PBR World Standings Points are awarded as a result of placement in rounds (BFTS events only) and in the event average, and can be earned at all PBR events: Built Ford Tough Series, BlueDEF Tour, Touring Pro Division and International, as well as minor special events. PBR.com The official website of the Professional Bull Riders is updated daily and includes press releases, feature stories, schedules, statistics, standings, video and more. It also allows visitors to search for specific bull riders and bulls. Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA) The Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA) is the sanctioning body for rodeo events throughout the United States. Though a handful of PBR bull riders also hold memberships in PRCA, the PBR is not affiliated with the PRCA or its sanctioned events. Qualified Ride If a rider reaches 8 seconds without being disqualified, he has completed a qualified ride and therefore earns a score. Rank If a bull is difficult to ride, he is called rank. Re-ride A judge may give a rider a re-ride if he feels that the bull did not perform at a level comparable to the other bulls in the competition and therefore did not give the bull rider a fair chance to earn a high score. Potential re-ride bulls are selected prior to the event. THE Riding High Ministries A traveling ministry for Christian bull riders whose involvement in competition prevents them from attending worship services in their hometown. Riding High Ministries organizes church services for bull riders during most Built Ford Tough Series events. Open to all riders, staff and the public, the services are usually conducted at the host venue on the second morning of BFTS events. Rider Relief Fund Established in 1999, the Rider Relief Fund provides financial aid to bull riders who are unable to compete due to injury. Resistol pledged more than $1 million to create the non-profit fund that provides assistance to professional, college and high school bull riders and bullfighters who are injured during competition. In addition to personal contributions and corporate sponsorships, funds are generated through annual fund raisers including various events, sport tournaments, live and silent auctions and a celebrity poker tournament at the PBR Built Ford Tough World Finals. Regular Season The Built Ford Tough Series regular season begins in January and concludes in November. The season usually opens in New York at the world famous Madison Square Garden.

Right-Hand Delivery When the chute gate opens to the bull and bull rider’s right. PBR GLOSSARY Rookie of the Year The Rookie of the Year award is presented to the bull rider who earns the most World Standings Points during his first PBR season. In 2013 the determining factor changed from the most money earned to the most points earned. Slap If a rider makes contact with the bull with his free hand during a ride it is called a slap and he is disqualified and does not receive a score. Spinner If a bull’s bucking pattern includes him spinning in a tight circle throughout the ride, he is referred to as a spinner. Spurs Bull riders’ spurs must have dull, looselylocked rowels – the wheel-like part that comes in contact with the animal. Spurs, which help a rider maintain his balance by providing extra grip with his feet, do not cut or scratch a bull, whose hide is seven times thicker than human skin. Stock Contractor The people who own and lease bulls are called stock contractors. Built Ford Tough Series events feature 80-90 bulls. Depending on the location and duration of the event, the bulls will be provided by 10 or more stock contractors. Stock Contractor of the Year Determined in a vote of the Top 35 bull riders in the world, the Stock Contractor of the Year is the individual who consistently supplies the highestquality bucking bulls at PBR events. 2016 PBR Media Guide | 41 THE PBR GLOSSARY Sucks Back Union Bull Turn Back Vest A bull that bucks in one direction then instantly switches to the opposite direction is known to “suck back”. If a bull heads one way and then makes a sharp move in the opposite direction, it is called a turn back. Turn Out If a bull rider enters a competition and elects not to compete for reasons other than injury, then he has turned out, often forfeiting his entry fee. Built Ford Tough Series riders who turn out of competition are subject to strict fines to ensure that the world’s best riders compete at every Built Ford Tough Series event. 42 | 2016 PBR Media Guide If a bull bucks for only 8 seconds and then quits at the whistle, he becomes known as a “union bull”. Developed by PBR founder and Ring of Honor inductee Cody Lambert, the protective vest must be worn by every PBR rider. Designed to prevent injury, it helps disperse pressure and protects bones and internal organs which are otherwise vulnerable. Wreck When a rider is bucked off, then subsequently horned and/or stomped by the bull, he has been involved in a “wreck”.

He started getting on bulls at a ranch where he used to work. Fast forward to 2013. The 25-year-old Brazilian made his debut on the Built Ford Tough Series that year and has remained on the tour ever since. Eduardo mentions he looks up to two-time PBR World Champion Justin McBride for his riding style and believes Justin had perfect form while riding. However, Eduardo also admires three-time PBR World Champion Silvano Alves and two-time PBR World Champion J.B. Mauney. When he is in the United States, Eduardo says he goes to the gym and enjoys roping to stay in shape, and while he is in Brazil he goes to church and ropes. While he travels to every event with Alves and 2012 PBR Rookie of the Year Emilio Resende, Eduardo spends his down time calling his daughters and talking to them on the phone. He also spends most of his time before events reading the bible. He says his family – his wife and two daughters – supports him a lot and never lets him lose hope or stop working for what he wants. They have always helped him since the beginning. His worst injury took place when a bull head-butted him and broke his nose and chin. While injuries are inevitable, Eduardo also reflected on the best part of his bull riding career, which is now – being able to cover difficult bulls that no one believed he could handle and proving to himself and everyone else that he is able to earn round wins and even Built Ford Tough Series event wins. Career Highlights •2015, won the Thackerville, Oklahoma Built Ford Tough Series event. •2015, won the first PBR 15/15 Bucking Battle of the season with a 90-point effort on KISS Animalize (Jeff Robinson Bucking Bulls) in New York City. 88 | 2016 PBR Media Guide #11 EDUARDO APARECIDO [Ah-pair-a-see-doe] •2014, won the first event of his Built Ford Tough Series career in Boise, Idaho. •2014, posted a career-high 93.25 points on Roy (Julio Moreno Bucking Bulls) during the championship round of the PBR World Finals. •2014, competed with a bruised left elbow and shoulder (riding arm) for most of the first half of the season. •2013, was runner-up to PBR’s Rookie of the Year Joao Ricardo Vieira, finishing seventh overall in the world.

Despite his grandfather and uncle being bull riders, he began his career as a bronc rider and then moved to bulls. He credits learning about bull riding from Fabricio Alves. Robson cites his initial meeting with Alves at a local bull riding as his inspiration. He had no money to pay for a hotel so he slept outside the arena, he woke up the next morning and saw that another rider had camped next to him and when they began to talk, Robson realized it was his idol, Alves. The two became friends and Alves invited him to stay with his family and train. He says his proudest moment in bull riding actually came this season when he qualified for the BFTS in Seattle. 2016 PBR Media Guide | 89 Career Highlights • 2015, second rider on the BFTS to earn a qualified ride on Lane’s Magic Train (Jared Allen’s Pro Bull Team) for 87.5 points in Tulsa, Oklahoma. 90 | 2016 PBR Media Guide #22 ROBSON ARAGAO • @robson_spider Season Events Finish Outs Rides Ride % +45 Ride % Career Earnings Points Wins Top 5 Finishes Top 10 Finishes 90 Point Rides 2015 20 22 53 14 26.42 1.49 $82,595 1,205 0 3 4 0 2014 0 0 0 0 0.00 0.00 $19,973 929.62 0 0 0 0 2013 0 0 0 0.00 0.00 0.00 $5,029 598.12 0 0 0 0 2012 0 0 0 0.00 0.00 0.00 $7,702 396.43 0 0 0 0 2011 2 0 5 0.00 0.00 0.00 $19,373 0 0 0 0 0 2010 20 55 47 7 14.89 0.00 $40,996 762.75 0 0 0 0 2009 4 0 0 0.00 0.00 0.00 $23,049 0 0 0 0 1 2008 0 0 0 0.00 0.00 0.00 $17,590 0 0 0 0 0 2007 0 0 0 0.00 0.00 0.00 $1,593 0 0 0 0 2 2006 0 0 0 0.00 0.00 0.00 $770 0 0 0 0 0 Totals 46 105 21 20.00 0 3 4 3 $218,670 #23 RUBENS BARBOSA • @rubensbarbosa23 World Finals qualifications: 2 Hometown: Uberlandia, Brazil Residence: Uberlandia, Brazil Height: 5-6” Weight: 145 Born: 10/23/83 Riding Hand: Right BFTS Season: 4th Career Earnings: $394,351 High-Marked Ride: 92.50 points on Priceless during Round 5 of the World Finals on Oct. 30, 2011 Personal 2016 PBR Media Guide | 91 Growing up on a ranch led Rubens to train on calves, but once he went to the city and saw a rodeo, he began getting on bulls. He does a lot of ranch work to this day, working with cattle, horseback riding, while also hunting and fishing when he’s not competing at events. Before a bull riding event, Rubens prepares by going to the gym, running, strength training and doing a lot of stretching. He mentally prepares by reading his bible and with prayers. His family – his wife Daniela and their daughter Yasmin – also provide a lot of support which helps him mentally. The 32-year-old recalls his worst injury happening back in 2012 when he suffered from pelvic distention and had to move back to Brazil to recover. He then tried to ride again but ended up dislocating his shoulder which he had surgery on and four months after that attempted to ride once more. One month later he broke his leg in seven places, leading to another surgery and eight more months of recovery. Rubens travels to most events with Joao Ricardo Vieira, Valdiron de Oliveira, Fabiano Vieira and Kaique Pacheco, and you can find him hanging out with Valdiron and Kaique at events. He mentions that Valdiron, Kaique, Fabiano, Joao, Guilherme Marchi and Robson Palermo are all people he looks up to because they have always treated him the same way inside and outside of the PBR. Career Highlights •2015, picked up the first BFTS victory of his career with a win in Colorado Springs, Colorado. •2012, won the Touring Pro Division event at Pala, California. •2011, won Round 5 of the PBR World Finals with a career-best 92.5 points on Priceless (D&H Cattle 92 | 2016 PBR Media Guide #23 RUBENS BARBOSA • @rubensbarbosa23 Co./L&E Bulls). •2011, came from $35,000 behind to overtake Elton Cide to win Rookie of the Year, after finishing fourth and winning $117,500 at Built Ford Tough World Finals.

Luis says that growing up on a farm in Brazil and watching his cousins win a lot of money riding bulls, him being a bull rider was bound to happen. He began riding steers at 12 years old and gradually made his way to mastering bulls. While he learned from his cousins, Luis also admired Adriano Moraes and Robson Palermo for their style of riding. Prior to each competition, the current Texas resident likes to ride horses and workout to prepare, but he also makes sure to pray before leaving home, as well as praying before the event itself. He also does some extensive stretching right before getting on each bull. Luis says his best moment in bull riding was being able to compete at the 2014 PBR World Finals, which he did as an alternate. His worst moment came about when he broke his leg in 2011; he had to have four different surgeries to correct it and could not ride for the entire year. Career Highlights •2015, won the Portland, Oregon, BlueDEF Tour event and TPD events in Santa Barbara, California and San Antonio, Texas. •2014, appeared at four Built Ford Tough Series events, including Colorado Springs, Colorado; Last Cowboy Standing in Las Vegas; Springfield, Missouri; and as an alternate for the World Finals. •2014, earned an alternate spot to the Colorado Springs, Colorado, BFTS event after splitting the win at the Cleburne, Texas, Touring Pro Division event. •2014, also won the Sydney, Montana, and Gonzales, Texas, TPD events. 94 | 2016 PBR Media Guide #41 LUIS BLANCO • @luispbrblanco • @luisblancopbr Season Events Finish Outs Rides Ride % +45 Ride % Career Earnings Points Wins Top 5 Finishes Top 10 Finishes 90 Point Rides 2015 11 41 23 5 21.74 3.79 $54,493 485 0 0 0 0 2014 4 40 9 1 11.11 0.00 $48,110 2,326.06 0 0 0 0 2013 0 0 0 0 0.00 0.00 $14,578 663.00 0 0 0 0 2012 0 0 0 0 0.00 0.00 $2,582 142.00 0 0 0 0 2011 0 0 0 0 0.00 0.00 $1,519 0 0 0 0 0 2010 2 3 0 0 0.00 0.00 $22,294 0 0 0 0 0 Totals 17 32 6 18.75 0 0 0 0 $143,576 #28 BONNER BOLTON • @BonnerBlue • @bonner_blue World Finals qualifications: 1 Hometown: Odessa, Texas Residence: Grapevine, Texas Height: 5-11 Weight: 175 Born: 6/1/87 BFTS Season: 4th Riding Hand: Right Career Earnings: $196,628 High-Marked Ride: 90.50 points on Walk Off during Round 2 on the World Finals on Oct. 22, 2015 Personal 2016 PBR Media Guide | 95 Bonner’s father rode bulls for 20 years so he credits him with teaching him how to ride. He started riding steers when he was 10 years old and worked his way through junior bulls, etc. Bonner adds that Dustin Elliott, Matt Austin and Brian Richardson each played a key role in his early career, helping him get started. He also looks up to three-time PBR World Champion Adriano Moraes, 1997 PBR World Champion Michael Gaffney and nine-time World Champion PBR co-founder Ty Murray. Bonner’s worst injury took place at an event in 2008 when he tore his bicep, causing him to be out of competition for almost a year. He says that making the PBR World Finals in 2015 after coming off of a serious injury – he had broken his collar bone in four places earlier in the season and while covering three of the bulls he faced while winning a round was really cool. Everything from learning how to handle back-to-back Built Ford Tough Series events, what goes into preparing for the toughest bulls in the world and learning all about the PBR as a rider really resonated with him after this past season as a rookie. When he’s not riding bulls, Bonner likes to play guitar, participate in outdoor sports and meet up with his buddy UFC lightweight competitor Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone, whenever their schedules permit it. Career Highlights •2015, posted the first 90-point ride of his Built Ford Tough Series career with 90.5 points on Walk Off (Jeff Robinson Bucking Bulls) during Round 2 of the PBR World Finals. •2015, missed six weeks of competition because of a right clavicle fracture sustained in Round 1 in Biloxi, Mississippi, when he was pulled down onto the bull’s head as he was being bucked off. 96 | 2016 PBR Media Guide #28 BONNER BOLTON • @BonnerBlue • @bonner_blue •2015, won the Bakersfield, California, and Yakima, Washington, BlueDEF Tour events.

The brother of current PBR bullfighter Jesse and son of former bullfighter, Ryan, Tanner grew up around the sport and quickly took to it himself. His family members may have chosen bullfighting, but Tanner knew that regardless of his tall stature, bull riding was his calling. He rode his first steer at the age of seven in running shoes at a Little Britches Rodeo and traveled with his entire family to approximately 40 rodeos each summer to compete. After that, he and his two older brothers, Jesse and Bo, competed in the Little Britches Finals each year and then competed in high school rodeos and amateur events before pursuing the PBR. Growing up, Tanner didn’t limit himself to just bull riding; he played baseball, hockey and lacrosse, as well. While he excelled in each sport and had the potential to become a stand-out player in any of them, he chose bull riding. He and his wife, Megan, are expecting a child February 2016. Career Highlights •2015, notched career highs in Top 5 finishes (5) and Top 10 finishes (9). •2014, joined the BFTS in March in Phoenix, Arizona, where he went 3-for-3 on his bulls and placed second overall. •2014, tied for second place in Tacoma, Washington, to secure his spot on the BFTS where he remained for the rest of the season. •2014, missed three events at the beginning of the second half of the season after aggravating a right wrist sprain he sustained in Canada over the summer break. 98 | 2016 PBR Media Guide #8 TANNER BYRNE • @TannerByrne • @TannerByrne •2014, returned to action in Laughlin, Nevada, after a wrist injury sidelined him for three events, where he notched his third second place finish for the year, covering all three of his bulls at the event. •2012, made his Built Ford Tough Series debut in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

These days, he trains three times a week with Michael Jones to prepare for each competition, but he also preps himself mentally by praying, as he is very religious. Alex says he looks up to three-time World Champion Silvano Alves because he is a very good guy who is humble and always tries to help the new guys that are coming around the Built Ford Tough Series. His best moment in bull riding was the first year he was able to ride in the U.S., but he also really enjoyed competing on the second day of Iron Cowboy last year when he covered both of his bulls, because he felt that he had the ability to ride amongst the top guys in the PBR. He recalls one of his worst injuries happening when he punctured his lungs and broke several ribs, leaving him spitting up blood, but Alex also notes that this past season at the PBR World Finals he broke several vertebrae that could have left him paralyzed. He wears “JESUS” on his helmet, which he said a lot of people tell him that it’s nice that he wears His name where everyone can see it. Alex explained he doesn’t wear it because it’s nice, he wears it because he has faith in Him. 100 | 2016 PBR Media Guide #34 ALEXANDRE CARDOZO Season Events Finish Outs Rides Ride % +45 Ride % Career Earnings Points Wins Top 5 Finishes Top 10 Finishes 90 Point Rides 2015 17 34 37 4 10.81 3.36 $61,680 719.16 0 1 3 0 2014 0 0 0 0 0.00 0.00 $10,301 739.25 0 0 0 0 2013 0 0 0 0 0.00 0.00 $6,892 302.62 0 0 0 0 Totals 17 37 4 10.81 0 1 3 0 $78,873 #17 REESE CATES • @ReeseCates • @reesecates World Finals Qualifications: 4 Residence: El Dorado, Ark.

Reese grew up and rodeod with Chase Outlaw. The two are still the best of friends and now compete in the PBR together. During his first couple years on the BFTS, Reese attended and graduated from Panola College in Carthage, Texas with an Agriculture Business Degree. After suffering multiple debilitating injuries during the 2013 season (three crushed ribs, a collapsed lung, a dislocated shoulder with torn ligaments), Reese says he learned so much about medical procedures he thinks he might have liked being a doctor if he weren’t riding bulls. When he is touring, there is one thing he always has to have with him…his Tempur-pedic travel pillow. “I like my sleep”, jokes Reese, who says he could easily snooze for 10 hours if given the opportunity. After appearing on The Rachael Ray Show a few years ago (he tested a portable washer/dryer for the show), Reese admits he is now a fan and also regularly watches Dr. Phil. When he’s in top form, Reese sometimes hangs out and trains with Chad Mendes and Urijah Faber (top UFC fighters who are also PBR fans), and says that Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) workouts help keep him in shape for bull riding. In his down time, Reese likes hunting with Chase and San Diego Padres pitcher Andrew Cashner, fishing, and spending time at home with family in Arkansas.

When he was 11 years old, his sister started dating bull rider Clayton Foltyn, and being around Clayton sparked his interest in bull riding. Cooper started riding junior bulls and progressed from there. Nowadays, if he’s ever in a slump, Clayton is the guy that he generally turns to for advice and to discuss problems. Cooper also looked up to Terry Don West and Jim Sharp early in his career and says he thinks his riding style is pretty similar to theirs. This Texas native hit a rough patch during the 2015 season and after some advice from PBR co-founder and Livestock Director Cody Lambert, dropped 25 pounds during the second half of the season, finishing in the Top 10 in each of the last five events of the season and winning the PBR World Finals event title, only the fourth rookie to accomplish such a feat. 2014 Highlights •2015, won the PBR Built Ford Tough World Finals event title to become only the fourth rookie in PBR history to do so. 2016 PBR Media Guide | 105 •2015, won the Denver, Colorado, Touring Pro Division event. •2014, picked up the win at the Fredericksburg, Texas, TPD.

Sometimes his dad would ride bulls as well at the family ranch for fun, showing Valdiron it was a way to have fun instead of seeing it as just a profession. Doing pilates and yoga, riding horses and roping are all things that help Valdiron prepare for events. He also adds that sometimes he will get on practice bulls if he thinks he needs to. Unnoticeable to anyone else, Valdiron also carries a picture of Nossa Sehora Aparecida in his hat. He says his favorite moment in bull riding is when he qualifies for the championship round and right before getting on he gets an adrenaline rush. Of course, it’s also a great feeling getting a 90-plus point ride on a difficult bull. Married to his wife Andrea for 14 years, they have a son, Paulo, and a daughter, Camilla.

He fashioned his style after his father, whom he watched ride while growing up, and credits three-time World Champion Adriano Moraes for helping with his adjustment to the BFTS. After tearing his ACL in April 2013, Ryan missed 4-½ months of the season and said he really had to step up his game to qualify for the World Finals, but he did so by riding Rock & Roll in Grand Rapids for 90.25 in the championship round to place fourth in the event. On the day of a ride, Ryan typically does yoga in the morning and would be a happy cowboy if he could fuel up pre-ride with a commodity grilled cheese sandwich on rye bread. Ryan owns (and sometimes lives in) an indoor arena in Tahlequah, Okla., which hosts a variety of events including team roping and bull riding. And before bed at night, this cowboy likes to welcome sweet dreams by having a tall glass of milk.

His father, Mike, was a bull rider as well and someone Douglas really looks up to, along with 1995 PBR World Champion Tuff Hedeman and two-time PBR World Champion Justin McBride. Due to unforeseen circumstances, his professional career was postponed when he broke his pelvis one month before his 18th birthday. He received the National Intercollegiate Rodeo Association title, advanced to College National Finals in 2007 and was also named the 2008 PRCA Rookie of the Year and an NFR qualifier. When the Texas native isn’t bull riding, he works on his ranch, likes to hang out at the lake, catch up with friends and makes sure his body is ‘ride ready’ by working out at least an hour each day. Douglas also cleared some time in his busy schedule to appear in the Hardee’s Texas Toast commercial in 2013, devouring their breakfast sandwich throughout the commercial spot. Career Highlights •2014, spent the year competing with a left hand (riding hand) sprain, on which he had surgery during the summer break, then re-injured in Biloxi, Mississippi. •2012, underwent hip surgery in May which caused him to miss the final three events before the summer break and the first two events after the break. •2012, won PBR 15/15 Bucking Battle in Indianapolis with 90.75 points on Bad Blake (Wolf Creek Cattle Company). •2012, tied for second at PBR Canada National Finals. #35 DOUGLAS DUNCAN • @DouglasDuncan87 • @rdwd87 Season Events Finish Outs Rides Ride % +45 Ride % Career Earnings Points Wins Top 5 Finishes Top 10 Finishes 90 Point Rides 2015 24 35 67 17 25.37 0.00 $45,650 641.25 0 1 5 0 2014 26 32 63 17 26.98 0.00 $53,954 3,217.87 0 4 5 0 2013 27 19 79 23 29.11 0.00 $98,730 5,224.18 0 2 9 0 2012 22 23 62 18 29.03 0.00 $90,689 3,731.25 0 2 7 2 2011 29 16 88 28 31.82 0.00 $145,494 5,461.25 0 4 8 3 2010 12 43 34 8 23.53 0.00 $176,291 1190.50 0 1 2 1 2009 1 66 3 1 33.33 0.00 $16,162 248.50 0 0 1 0 2008 0 0 0 0 0.00 0.00 $8,423 0.00 0 0 0 0 2007 0 0 0 0 0.00 0.00 $3,557 0.00 0 0 0 0 2005 0 0 0 0 0.00 0.00 $1,638 0.00 0 0 0 0 Totals 141 396 112 28.28 0 14 37 6 $640,586 2016 PBR Media Guide | 113 114 | 2016 PBR Media Guide #51 MARCO EGUCHI [Eh-goo-chee] World Finals Qualifications: 4 Hometown: Poá, Brazil Residence: Poá, Brazil Height: 5-7Weight: 132 Born: 5/22/89 Riding Hand: Right BFTS Season: 6th Career Earnings: $670,080 High-Marked Ride: 92.50 points on Rango in Albuquerque, New Mexico, on March 23, 2014 Personal Marco says his best moments in bull riding happen every time he rides a bull for 8 seconds, because that is his goal and that is why he rides. He notes that his favorite ride was in Oklahoma City when he rode Rango and won the 15/15 Bucking Battle. Starting to ride and train in arenas close to home is where it all began for this Brazilian rider, and soon after that he started to compete in small rodeos in Brazil. He says his worst injury overall was when he fractured his face in two places. Once it healed, however, Marco was back to riding bulls as soon as possible. During the week, he goes to the gym almost every day and prepares himself for the competition that weekend. When it’s time to relax though, Marco enjoys having fun visiting his family in Sao Paulo as well as going fishing with friends. He says he admires his mother because of how hardworking she is.

Starting on sheep at four years old and working his way up through calves and junior bulls, Gage says nowadays he does most of his training for events on a drop barrel. To prepare for competition he does a lot of leg stretches, but likes to take his mind off of everything by hunting and fishing in between events. His best moments in bull riding were finishing second at the 2014 Iron Cowboy event where he knocked three PBR World Champions out of the competition, as well as winning the 2014 BFTS Tulsa event – his first on tour. You can find Gage traveling with Michael Lane to events, who lives just 20 minutes away from him in North Carolina. He credits his dad for always pushing him to get on practice bulls and do the best that he can, but notes that he has always looked up to two-time PBR World Champion Chris Shivers because, “he could make an 86-point bull ride look like an 88-point – he could get the most out of any bull he faced – which made me want to be just like him.” Career Highlights •2015, won the inaugural BlueDEF Finals while earning a single-event career-high $84,000. •2015, took home BlueDEF wins in Omaha, Nebraska and Hampton, Virginia. •2015, collected PBR Touring Pro Division wins in Thief River Falls, Minnesota, and Estes Park, Colorado. •2014, runner-up to 2014 Rookie of the Year J.W.

Tyler adds that he honestly doesn’t remember a time when he didn’t want to ride bulls. It helps that at a young age he knew what winning felt like, picking up the Little Britches World Title as a kid. Growing up, he looked up to Justin McBride professionally, but ultimately looks up to his father overall. To prepare for events, the Arkansas native likes to stay positive and get on practice bulls during the week if he feels that he needs to. In 2005, the 24-year-old said he had the right side of his face crushed and broke his jaw after being stepped on by a bull, but that clearly didn’t stop him from riding. Tyler recalls his best moment in bull riding was winning the Springdale, Arkansas, Touring Pro Division event, because he was able to do so in front of a home state crowd. When he isn’t going head-to-head with 2,000-pound bulls, Tyler likes to hunt and fish as well as spend time with his family, including his wife Lindsey and daughter Ava. Career Highlights •2015, won the BlueDEF Reno, Nevada, event as well as the Ft. Smith, Arkansas, TPD event. •2014, earned an alternate spot to his first Built Ford Tough Series event (Billings, Montana) by winning the Mobile, Alabama, Touring Pro Division event. #42 TYLER HARR • @tyler_harr • @tylerharr90 Season Events Finish Outs Rides Ride % +45 Ride % Career Earnings Points Wins Top 5 Finishes Top 10 Finishes 90 Point Rides 2015 17 42 41 11 26.83 3.73 $51,068 477.5 0 0 0 1 2014 5 42 12 1 8.33 0.00 $55,062 2,192.68 0 0 0 0 2013 0 0 0 0 0.00 0.00 $9,259 579.12 0 0 0 0 2010 0 0 0 0 0.00 0.00 $154 0 0 0 0 0 2009 0 0 0 0 0.00 0.00 $1,886 0 0 0 0 0 2008 0 0 0 0 0.00 0.00 $1,517 0 0 0 0 0 Totals 22 53 12 22.64 0 0 1 0 $118,946 2016 PBR Media Guide | 119 120 | 2016 PBR Media Guide #7 J.W.

Every man in his family was a bull rider, so it was expected that he would be one as well. J.W. says that talking to his father and Don Gay has helped him a lot throughout his career. One of his fondest memories while competing was riding Werewolf in 2006 for 96 points while in Reno. He also added he’s been on Firebird four times and has not scored less than 94 points three of those times. Winning the National Finals Rodeo is one of the top things he looks to as well. He says his worst injury came in 2008 when he had the left side of his face shattered and had screws and pins inserted into it. Outside of bull riding, J.W. tends to his cattle, which he mentions takes up a lot of time, and enjoys being with his wife Jackie and their two children, Aubrey and Dylan.

And also probably any bull he doesn’t collide with (Kasey wears a face mask when riding after a head-to-head collision at age 12 left him with a fractured skull). One of his preferred things to do after an event is just to hang with pal J.B. Mauney and order a pizza. Kasey not only owns a gas/oil measurement company and a health/fitness business, he’s also in the process of buying as many apartments as he can so someday he can just enjoy doing nothing and live off his investments with his wife Leah and son Kash. He also adds he would probably spend some of that free time golfing. In fact, Kasey says if he weren’t a bull rider he’d want to be a professional golfer as, “it pays better and is a heck of a lot easier on the body.” Kasey isn’t afraid of a little spice in his life, since he says that Mexican food–specifically cow tongue tacos –is one of his favorite things. Career Highlights •2015, picked up a win at the Guymon, Oklahoma, TPD event. •2014, one of two bull riders to cover Shepherd Hills Tested (Luthy/Duckwall/D&H Cattle/Powder River) on the Built Ford Tough Series, earning 91.50 points on him while in Colorado Springs, Colorado. •2014, rode Mississippi Hippy (K-C Bucking Bulls/Sparklin Acres/Blythe Cattle) for 88.50 points, to become the second rider in BFTS history to last 8 seconds atop this bull. •2014, missed four weeks of competition after lacerating his chin and fracturing his jaw when he collided with the bull’s head during his Round 1 ride in Thackerville, Oklahoma…rejoined the tour in #29 KASEY HAYES Biloxi, Mississippi •2014, notched Touring Pro Division wins in Enid, Oklahoma; Bismarck, North Dakota; Cedar Park, Texas; and Carson, California. •2013, made his first appearance on the Built Ford Tough Series mid-March when he earned the first alternate spot in Albuquerque, New Mexico, for winning the Touring Pro Division Poplar Bluff, Missouri, event. •2013, competed again on the BFTS in Boise, Idaho, from his TPD win in Ft.

Neil does admit, though, that he didn’t start taking it seriously until 2008 when he was in college. After he realized he could support his four children doing it, it became his passion, his hobby and his job. He credits Craig Jackson with helping him along the way as someone he looked up to that lived near him and still gives him a hand today. He recalls his worst injury took place in 2010 when he was knocked out but still remained hung up on the bull. He ended up being drug around, stepped on and having his pelvis broken. Despite doctor’s orders, this cowboy was competing after only six weeks. Neil’s proudest moment in the PBR took place at his first Built Ford Tough Series event in Laughlin, Nevada. Not only was it his first time on the BFTS, he was also able to cover one of the bulls he faced. Neil plans to use 2015 as motivation for upcoming seasons – he believes he has paid his dues and now deserves to be competing on the BFTS each year.

He likes to know exactly what his bull looks like and get a sense of how he might buck before the show starts. Then he’ll likely eat a Kind protein bar and spend some time praying before his turn in the chutes. Riding since he was 8 years old, Jordan says he started because his brother was riding steers and he wanted to be just like him. Now to remain competitive as a professional bull rider, Jordan regularly does yoga, sprints, pushups, pull-ups and plays lots of video games. The last part may not be part of his training regimen, but he and wife Philicia (Harve Stewart’s sister) apparently have quite the electronic rivalry going. Call of Duty, Mario Kart and Diablo 3 are current favorites.

An Aussie cowboy, his bull riding began on a dare at age 12 when a neighborhood youth who competed in rodeos said he didn’t think Ben could do it. Ben is now competing on the premier bull riding circuit in the world – the PBR – and the youth is no longer riding. Ben says his key to success is his pre-competition routine - stay happy and sometimes carbo-load the night before with pasta. He and wife Christy – who frequently travels with him – were married following the Last Cowboy Standing in Las Vegas in April 2011. Ben says he can’t think of another career he’d rather have than bull rider, but he’s just started raising a few calves and bulls. He imagines he’ll probably do that when he retires. He currently lives in Dallas where one of his favorite foods, Vegemite, is very hard to find. As such, his “mum” sends him care packages from Australia. 2016 PBR Media Guide | 129 Career Highlights • 2015, won the Ty Murray Invitational in Albuquerque, New Mexico, going 3-for-4 on the weekend, including a 90.25-point ride on Beaver Creek Beau (Chad Berger/Clay Struve/Jonathan Fine). • 2011, won the PBR Australia National Finals in Sydney for second consecutive year. • 2010, won his first BFTS event in Nashville, Tenn., going 3-for-3 including 90.25 points on Buffalo Hump (Jeff Robinson Bucking Bulls) in the Built Ford Tough Championship Round. • 2010, won PBR Australia National Finals. • 1998, qualified for PBR World Finals as rookie. 130 | 2016 PBR Media Guide #21 BEN JONES • @BenJones_PBR Season Events Finish Outs Rides Ride % +45 Ride % Career Earnings Points Wins Top 5 Finishes Top 10 Finishes 2015 24 21 62 21 33.87 0.00 $135,078 1,445 1 2 6 1 2014 11 41 23 5 21.74 0.00 $56,311 2,262.08 0 0 1 0 2013 25 29 66 19 28.79 0.00 $70,115 3,989.00 0 2 6 1 2012 19 18 58 26 44.83 0.00 $115,844 4,840.75 0 5 7 0 2011 28 14 71 29 40.85 0.00 $133,735 5,671.75 0 5 7 2 2010 29 18 81 30 37.04 0.00 $122,409 5,242 1 4 9 3 90 Point Rides 2009 10 47 28 6 21.43 0.00 $57,146 1,123.75 0 1 1 0 2008 6 66 13 4 30.77 0.00 $39,187 5,123.75 0 0 1 0 2007 0 0 0 0 0.00 0.00 $10,850 0.00 0 0 0 0 2006 0 0 0 0 0.00 0.00 $307 0.00 0 0 0 0 2005 0 0 0 0 0.00 0.00 $1,399 0.00 0 0 0 0 1998 3 48 7 2 28.57 0.00 $18,504 222.00 0 0 0 0 Totals 155 409 142 34.72 2 19 38 7 $760,885 #50 DEREK KOLBABA • @derek_kolbaba • @derek_kolbaba Hometown: Walla Walla, Washington Residence: Walla Walla, Washington Height: 5-9 Weight: 140 Born: 4/21/96 Riding Hand: Left BFTS Season: 1st Career Earnings: $63,094 High-Marked Ride: 85.75 points on Long Haired Outlaw during Round 3 of the World Finals on 10/23/15 Personal Derek’s dad was a professional bull rider in the 90’s so it’s as if he has always been around the sport. The Washington native started getting on sheep when he was three years old and worked his way up to bulls around 12 years old. He said his dad taught him everything he knows, but his whole family is a part of the western lifestyle and they’ve all been instrumental in getting him to where he is. He also mentions he takes different techniques or certain things from every rider he’s around, adapting his style when needed. Derek recalls his worst injuries being a broken leg when he was 16 and last year when he broke his jaw. For fun, Derek likes to snowmobile, ride horses and practice roping, when he’s not traveling to his next bull riding event. His greatest accomplishment in bull riding is having the honor of competing in the PBR World Finals in 2015, being such an awesome and great experience. He also says winning Pendleton this past season is also right up there with World Finals, as he has been attending that event for so long. Once he got the opportunity to ride there and win it – it was a huge moment for him. 2016 PBR Media Guide | 131 Career Highlights •2015, earned a spot to compete at the PBR World Finals after his Top-10 finish at the BlueDEF Tour Finals. •2015, won the Pendleton, Oregon, BlueDEF Tour event.

While his older siblings showed sheep, Michael was about four years old when he first saw that sheep were how kids got started, and mentioned that all his siblings’ prized livestock had targets on their back from then on out. Then, at eight years old, Michael won “Best Dressed Cowboy” at the Brushfork Armory Rodeo and took home a pony for his victory. Once done with high school rodeos, where he roped, steer wrestled and rode bulls, Michael made the choice to concentrate solely on bull riding. Nowadays, Michael travels with Gage Gay to events, as they live just 20 minutes from one another. He said he is friends with everyone on tour, but over the years he and Gage have become more like brothers. Michael trains a lot for events, by mountain biking, riding his drop barrel, while also doing hot yoga and cryotherapy as part of his recovery process. He looks up to two-time PBR World Champion J.B. Mauney, adding it’s because he is one of the best there’s ever been and he’s close to where he’s from, so he grew up watching him ride. Michael also credits PBR co-founder Jerome Davis to pushing him to compete in the PBR and pointed him in the right direction. Above all, the 25-year-old says his family has been a big part of his career – without them and their support, Michael says he wouldn’t be where he is today.

He’s from a family of bull riders, but the first to go pro. Stetson has been riding since he was 9 years old. He says he’s gotten really good at eating left-handed since he’s broken his right/free arm on four separate occasions. Fortunately, he rides left-handed, but one can only imagine how tough it was to cut his favorite post competition meal of a “big ole’ steak” while in a cast. Married to barrel racer Teri Kay (TK) Lawrence, Stetson says he and his wife do their best to coordinate their busy touring schedules to maximize time together. When not on the tour, Stetson enjoys golf and riding dirt bikes. He also stays bull-riding ready by spending time on his drop barrel at home and occasionally riding horses bareback. When he retires from bull riding, Stetson says he will probably try his hand at team roping and hopes to have his own ranch someplace where winters aren’t too harsh.

But instead of turning him off of bull riding, Mike realized he liked it and the rest is former world champion history. In fact, one of his most memorable rides was on Mossy Oak Mudslinger for 93.75 points when he took the world title in 2004. Including his World Championship winnings, he ranks sixth in career earnings with $3,696,542. After surviving shoulder and brain surgery, and blowing out but rehabbing both knees, Mike says he would prefer to never go under the knife again and therefore has become more committed to going to the gym to keep strong with sprints and lifting weights as his go-to workouts. When not touring with the PBR, he owns a small trucking business and enjoys spending time with his twins, daughter Loralai and son Noah, his wife, Dana, and their son Peter.

Height: 5-7 Weight: 150 Riding Hand: Right Born: 9/18/85 BFTS Season: 10th Career Earnings: $3,263,027 High-Marked Ride: 94.5 points on Troubadour in Fresno, Calif., on Jan. 17, 2009 2005 Rookie of the Year 2009 PBR World Champion Personal 2016 PBR Media Guide | 139 After repeatedly watching a video about the Cheyenne Frontier Days Rodeo when he was young and deciding that bull riding looked like “fun,” Kody’s mother signed him up to ride his first steer at the Boulder County Fair at the age of seven without any training, equipment or preparation and no one to give him pointers. Clearly he not only survived the experience, but he switched his riding hand to his right hand when he was 11 years old and thrived turning that into a Little Britches National Bull Riding title in 2003, three consecutive Colorado State High School Rodeo Association titles and a PBR World Championship title (2009). He also ranks seventh in career earnings with $3,263,027. Kody keeps himself in peak riding shape by working out with a personal trainer and doing CrossFit. And not only does he ride bucking bulls, he raises them and would love to one day see one of his bulls at the World Finals. If he weren’t a bull rider, Kody says he would enjoy being a hunting guide, and one day wouldn’t mind being a police officer after he retires. He and his wife, Candace, a barrel racer, have two daughters, Sheridan and Odessa, to whom Kody likes to sing classic lullabies, but he admits he doesn’t know any of the words so he makes them up…quite often to hilarious results.

He said they used to have a bunch of milk calves and his dad would put him on them, then he started going to junior rodeos and such when he was a little older. Although he did not compete at any high school rodeos as a teenager, he instead competed in amateur bull ridings throughout the Midwest, starting at the age of 15 – just two years after getting on his first bovine. This caused the Missouri native to develop bad habits in his early years, “leaning back and riding on the end of my arm instead of riding toward the front”, which led to some elbow issues in his right arm. Two-time PBR World Champion Chris Shivers is his role model because he was his favorite as a kid and knows that if Chris were to come out of retirement right now he would still be a Top 10 rider. Mason says his best moment in bull riding came this past season when he made his first PBR World Finals and was able to cover the first bull he faced in the event.

His favorite bull is Bushwacker, even though he was never able to make the 8-second mark atop the legendary bull, while his favorite moment in the PBR was when he won the world title in 2008.

Then, after a big win like that, J.B. heads to a steakhouse for a juicy steak which is always his post competition meal of choice. He ranks third in career 90-point rides with 65, and leads in career earnings with $6,683,283. Since switching from wearing a helmet to a hat in 2013, J.B. says he now smashes about four to five hats per season. Though he usually changes to black felt in the winter, his straw hat has been working so well for him, that he’s contemplating wearing it year round. A real rodeo cowboy who started at the age of 3, his family tried to push him in the direction of roping, but after riding his first bull at age 13 he knew he was hooked. One thing you won’t ever see J.B. doing, however, is wearing yellow or laying his hat on the bed, these are two rules he says his dad taught him to live by to avoid bad luck. 150 | 2016 PBR Media Guide #1 J.B.

Height: 5-6 Born: 6/26/92 BFTS Season: 2nd Career Earnings: $92,002 Residence: Liberty, S.C. Weight: 165 Riding Hand: Right Personal Growing up on a big farm in South Carolina, Jay says he was just kind of born into the Western lifestyle. He got on his first sheep at the age of four and won $80. As he got older, Jay would attend rodeos with his father. They knew one of the stock contractors really well so he would put a roping steer in with the bulls for Jay in the bull riding event. Once he was old enough he got his International Pro Rodeo Association card and hit the ground winning and doing well. Although his dream of competing at the most elite level of bull riding came true this past season when he made his Built Ford Tough Series debut, the 22-year-old says he still looks up to PBR bull riders Guilherme Marchi, J.B. Mauney and Robson Palermo. Guilherme because he is so tough, J.B. because of the bulls he has ridden and Robson because he likes the way he rides. He explained that bull riding is not big in his home state, so it’s tough to get on practice bulls during the week to prepare. It doesn’t make it harder, he just travels a lot further and there aren’t as many people to travel with. Jay says bull riding has been humbling for him. He has learned that the better he is living, the better he is riding, so he always tries to make sure he is living right. Career Highlights •2015, competed in the Built Ford Tough World Finals as an alternate. •2014, made his Built Ford Tough Series debut in Fresno, California, after climbing through the ranks on the Touring Pro Division. •2014, won the Louisville, Kentucky, TPD event as well as the TPD events in Ft.

Using a left-handed grip, Cody prefers bulls that spin right, but since he’s been drawing left-spinners, he’s had to adapt. Successfully choosing and conquering The Game for 90 points in the short round in Columbus, Ohio, in 2009 has been his most memorable ride thus far, since the bull came from his hometown. Sometimes after a great ride he’ll reward himself with his favorite sweet treat, dark chocolate. Cody thanks his involvement with the Riding High Ministries for a great bond with fellow riders like Mike Lee, Ben Jones, Kody Lostroh, Jordan Hupp and Nathan Schaper. When he’s not riding, he loves anything that gets him outdoors such as hunting, fishing, and riding horses, though he admits he’s “no good at golf”. Someday Cody would like to open a bull riding school where he can teach youth about bull riding and living an inspiration-filled life. In the meantime, he enjoys spending quality time with his wife, Jordan and their kids, Addie, Wyatt and Nash.

The Oklahoma native got on his first bull at the age of seven, noting that his family owned about 600 sheep - but he never really got on them as most bull riders do before actually attempting a bull. His family had a couple of mean rams however, that he loved to bullfight. In high school, Thad played football, baseball, golf, ran track and wrestled, setting a school football record of 15 interceptions in a year, including seven in one game. Traveling everywhere with fellow PBR bull rider Zane Cook, they tend to get on a lot of practice bulls during the week to prepare for events. Thad also heads to the gym to run 3-5 miles and lift weights as part of his fitness regimen. . When he’s not in the chute getting ready to nod his head, the 30-year-old likes to rope, fish, hunt, play guitar and surf. 2016 PBR Media Guide | 159 Season Events Finish Outs Rides Ride % +45 Ride % Career Earnings Points Wins Top 5 Finishes Top 10 Finishes 90 Point Rides 2015 1 46 2 0 0.00 0.00 $49,078 365.83 0 0 0 0 2014 0 0 0 0 0.00 0.00 $10,249 370.62 0 0 0 0 2013 0 0 0 0 0.00 0.00 $1,928 159.7 0 0 0 0 2012 1 81 2 1 50 0.00 $10,966 419 0 0 0 0 2011 0 0 0 0 0.00 0.00 $0.00 0 0 0 0 0 2010 0 0 0 0.00 0.00 0 $502 0 0 0 0 0 Totals 7 2 0 0.00 0 0 0 0 $72,405 160 | 2016 PBR Media Guide #30 CHASE OUTLAW • @outlawchase • @outlaw365 World Finals Qualifications: 4 Hometown: Hamburg, Ark.

Chase – whose family name “Outlaw” would seem to have predestined him to be a cowboy – was first riding calves at age 4 and bulls at 13. He remembers watching the PBR as a young kid and wanting to be a part of the tour. Now, as a PBR rider, he says his most memorable moment was in the short round at the Touring Pro Division event in Bismarck, N.D., in 2013 when he rode Prince Albert (Dakota Rodeo/Berger Struve) for 92 points to capture the top spot in the competition on the same night his friend’s father passed away. “I won that for my buddy’s dad,” he says. When not riding bulls, he likes hunting, fishing and driving his 4WD through the mud. He also stays in shape by running, which includes chasing after his 2 year old daughter Cashleigh. That being said, when he retires from the PBR he looks forward to doing nothing but sitting on his front porch and watching his cows.

Robson watched it over and over again, paying attention to every movement each bull rider would make. He would imitate it on the couch at his house and then on steers. It wasn’t until he was 15 years old that he began riding bulls, teaching himself how to ride bulls just by watching the video tape. Overall, he won his first event in Rio Branco, Acre, receiving a motorcycle as a prize, equivalent to several months of working with his dad. He finished first in 16 rodeos, was Top 5 in another 25 rodeos, won 11 motorcycles, a car, and a truck on his way to becoming the 2005 Brazilian Bull Riding Champion. After winning the Brazilian title, Robson decided to look for new challenges and moved to the U.S. in 2006. Despite the culture shock, language barrier and differences between the rodeos in Brazil and the U.S. (bulls, spurs, rules), Palermo has won 10 BFTS events and is the only rider to win the PBR Built Ford Tough World Finals event three times (2008, 2011, 2012). He ranks 10th in PBR career earnings with $2,484,665, including $1,139,591 at the Built Ford Tough World Finals. He and his wife Priscila have a daughter, Gabriela, and two sons, Mateus and Lucas.

2nd Career Earnings: $76,578 High-Marked Ride: 86.25 points on Cochise during Round 5 of the World Finals on 10/25/15 Personal Although he’s not exactly sure how he got into bull riding, Justin says his older brother rides bulls and his dad used to ride bulls when he was younger, so it’s probably something he’s grown up wanting to do. He added that he first started going to rodeos full time he was about 16 years old. A welder by trade, Justin says he also works with horses and cattle – he likes dealing with them more than people – but he doesn’t do much outside of bull riding. He travels with his brother to every event when in Australia, and travels with Lachlan Richardson and Dave Mason when he’s in the states. During an event, Justin likes to find his own space to warm up, stretch and get a little bit of peace and quiet to gather his thoughts. During the week he will prepare by doing drills on stationary barrels or get on a couple practice bulls, to help him keep that feel for riding. He looks up to Australian bull riders Troy Dunn and Brendon Clark, because they blazed the trail for a lot of Australians with what they achieved. Justin’s best moment in bull riding was being able to compete at the PBR World Finals this year with all the guys he grew up watching on TV in Australia. He said to be riding with them at the World Finals was unreal. Career Highlights •2015, qualified for his first PBR World Finals as the top-performing international invitee at the BlueDEF Finals. #38 JUSTIN PATON (pey-ton) @justinpatonPBR Season Events Finish Outs Rides Ride % +45 Ride % Career Earnings Points Wins Top 5 Finishes Top 10 Finishes 90 Point Rides 2015 11 38 12 2 16.67 3.79 $48,435 537.5 0 0 0 0 2014 0 0 0 0 0.00 0.00 $22,941 937.37 0 0 0 0 2013 0 0 0 0 0.00 0.00 $4,888 215.25 0 0 0 0 2012 0 0 0 0 0.00 0.00 $314 66.75 0 0 0 0 Totals 11 12 2 16.67 0 0 0 0 $76,578 2016 PBR Media Guide | 169 170 | 2016 PBR Media Guide #20 SHANE PROCTOR • @wa_SProctor_nc• @shaneproctor2006 World Finals Qualifications: 7 Hometown: Grand Coulee, Wash.

The winner of the Washington High School allaround title in 2003, he earned a scholarship to Northwest College in Powell, Wyoming. He says his most memorable ride happened in 2006 at the Yakima Touring Pro division when he rode Stoney – a bull that killed one of his friends – for 92 points. “It felt like I was getting back at that bull,” says Shane. He married Jessi Mauney, the older sister of two-time PBR World Champion J.B. Mauney, during the 2009 PBR World Finals. Shane has a leather shop on their property in North Carolina where he makes custom chaps and leather goods, a skill he pretty much self-taught by talking to people and reading about the subject. He admits that when he’s on a hot streak he won’t change any of his equipment, i.e. rope, gloves, boots, pants, until it ends. When not riding, he sometimes hangs out with Nascar driver Ricky Stenhouse Jr. and he stays in shape by going to the gym and doing Bikram yoga. One thing you won’t see him doing, however, is watching scary movies. He can handle a 2000 pound bull, but hates Jaws.

He has returned to competition full-time on the PBR. Aaron started his career as a left-handed bull rider, but switched to his right hand after breaking both bones in his left arm. He and his wife, Hallie, welcomed their first child in December 2013.

Not only does he ride bulls for a living, he’s an electrician, a volunteer firefighter and draws and paints in his free time. Art is a hobby he picked up from his dad and then continued in school, sometimes painting on old bleached shoulder bones of cattle. He also likes to draw western scenes. Though he usually rooms with Billy Robinson or Markus Mariluch on the road, he says he honestly loves hanging out with every one of the guys on tour. And when at home he has some good friends close to where he lives with whom he enjoys hunting. When it comes PBR competition time, Nathan says he has no superstitions, but he does try to do things the same way every time, i.e., stretches, warm-ups, preparations, etc., right up until the moment he’s back in his hotel room after the event. To stay in shape he works out three times a week doing the Insanity workouts or his own workout which he devised. He also enjoys snowboarding and spends a lot of time riding horses and doing whatever needs to be done on the ranch.

When he was about the age of five, a friend asked if he wanted to go to a mutton bustin’, and he’s been rodeoing ever since. That didn’t stop him from participating in football, basketball and track during high school, though. Brady also played baseball, starting with T-ball and continuing until his sophomore year. His father was a baseball player in the Marlins organization, so he grew up around the sport. While most riders have activities they enjoy doing outside of bull riding, Brady claims that everything he does is rodeo or bull riding oriented somehow. His favorite food is mashed potatoes and you can find him enjoying that dish while at dinner with Austin Meier and Ryan Dirteater…or a little bit of everyone on the Built Ford Tough Series. Brady’s worst injury came about in 2007 when he was just 13 years old. He broke his neck at a Jr. High School rodeo in Vienna, Mo., and was out for two and a half months. His most memorable ride was back in August of 2012 when he rode Stay Thirsty (Double Bar J Cattle Co.) for 90 points to win the Touring Pro Division Chris Shivers Invitational in Baton Rouge, La. While he doesn’t have a set pattern before riding a bull, he says he tends to “talk a lot of smack and just jump on.” Career Highlights •2014, earned the top alternate spot for the St. Louis, Missouri, event after winning the Touring Pro Division event in Toledo, Ohio…finished ninth in St. Louis to move into the Top 35 and remain on the Built Ford Tough Series. •2014, won the TPD event in Pueblo, Colorado 180 | 2016 PBR Media Guide #31 BRADY SIMS • @bs_simba • @bs_simba Season Events Finish Outs Rides Ride % +45 Ride % Career Earnings Points Wins Top 5 Finishes Top 10 Finishes 90 Point Rides 2015 27 31 73 19 26.03 0.00 $57,377 757.5 0 1 5 0 2014 20 24 58 19 32.76 0.00 $73,726 4,464.62 0 3 7 0 2013 0 0 0 0 0.00 0.00 $16,647 1.148.60 0 0 0 0 2012 1 0 2 1 50.00 0.00 $24,696 819.25 0 0 0 0 Totals 48 133 39 29.32 0 4 12 0 $172,446 #53 BRYAN TITMAN • @BryanTitman • @bryantitman Hometown: East Bernard, Texas Residence: East Bernard, Texas Height: 5’9 Weight: 130 Born: 3/29/88 Riding Hand: Right BFTS Season: 2nd Career Earnings: $44,032 High-Marked Ride: 87 points on Crazy Horse in Kansas City, Missouri on Feb. 22, 2015 Personal 2016 PBR Media Guide | 181 A man who will tell you that he loves winning, Bryan wanted to ride bulls since he was a “little fella”. Although he played both baseball and football and received a football scholarship to Texas Christian University, he quit both sports after high school because baseball didn’t bring the adrenaline rush he was looking for and he knew he wasn’t going to get any bigger in stature to play football. Bryan admits he would rather not get hit repeatedly by football players, but doesn’t mind taking the chance at getting hit by a 2,000-pound bull every once in a while. The Western sports lifestyle runs through his family his dad rode bulls, his uncle was a professional bullfighter and became a professional barrel man. As a child, Bryan would watch bull riding on TV while his little brother would get on all fours so Bryan could climb on his back and go for another 90-point ride. Outside of bull riding, Bryan loves to ride horses, relax, and help his wife with the boutique they own in Texas - it helps take his my mind off things when needed. He can be found on tour running around with Cooper Davis and Bonner Bolton, all Texas-born PBR rookies during the 2015 season. Bryan says his most memorable ride was last year during the Brent Thurman Memorial PBR Touring Pro Division event that he won, notching 87 points on a bull called Red Man. He mentions he may not have known Brent Thurman like most of the bull riders did, but he looks up to him knowing that Thurman always gave it his all and that’s the kind of bull rider Bryan is, as well.

Although his grandfather was too tall to ride, he has always been Matt’s biggest fan. When this Montana man is not busy traveling the country entering as many competitions as he can, he enjoys riding horses, hiking, feeding baby ducks at the park and doing hot yoga. His favorite sports team to watch is the Indiana Pacers. He also loves watching football and cheers on the New England Patriots because of Tom Brady. Matt’s go-to meals are sushi, spaghetti and steak, but not all together, of course. His most memorable ride was in 2013 in Grand Rapids, Michigan, on Pandemic (C’N Stars Bull Company) for 91 points during the Built Ford Tough Championship Round. During an event in Montana, Pandemic had kicked Matt in the stomach, causing him internal bruising. His 91-point ride was his way of getting back at the bull. One of his favorite events is the Built Ford Tough Series’ annual stop in Anaheim because of how close it is to Disneyland. He tries to visit the park each year when the PBR is in town. You can find the 24-year-old hanging out with Bonner Bolton, Douglas Duncan, Chase Outlaw, Sean Willingham and Gage Gay when on tour. He is also an avid fitness buff and works out with Douglas doing hot yoga whenever he can.

In order to compete, one has to be invited. Fabiano went to a rodeo one day without an invitation and stayed behind the chutes when he realized they were missing a competitor. The missing rider’s name was still on the draw, so Fabiano said he was that guy and ended up being the event champion under the other rider’s name. Although he angered the event organizer, Fabiano earned the prize money and started receiving invitations to more events because the organizer believed that Fabiano had a future in the sport. This was just the beginning of Fabiano’s professional career. In order to prepare for competitions he tries to eat well and hit the gym. In addition to riding, which is his favorite thing to do, he enjoys roping and fishing. He says his family is his life, foundation, strength and joy. His two daughters and his wife give him the strength to never give up during difficult times. Fabiano has always admired Brazilian bull rider Sydney Suzino Mary because at almost 40 years of age he’s still an excellent rider and a champion in Brazil.

He did not actually start competing on bulls as an amateur until he was 17. He adds that it all started as a joke. Joao went to college and intended on being a veterinarian, but after completing his undergraduate degree he chose to become a professional bull rider instead. Winning a national title his freshman year of college and transitioning to PBR Brazil in 2012 led him to PBR’s elite Built Ford Tough Series in 2013. In his spare time, he likes to run, swim and rollerblade, as well as spend time with his wife Rosimara Fatima Roque da Silva and their daughter Maria Clara Roque da Silva. Joao says now is the best time in his career and that his favorite ride was riding Smackdown in Albuquerque, New Mexico, last season for 92.25 points and the highmarked ride of his BFTS career.

Height: 5-4 Born: 2/24/91 BFTS Season: 2nd Residence: Talala, Okla. Weight: 135 Riding Hand: Right Career Earnings: $67,444 Personal Cody didn’t start his journey as a bull rider like most of the cowboys he’s surrounded by. This Oklahoma native would watch bull riding on TV as a kid but never thought he’d be able to do it, even though he loved it, because no one in his family had done it before. He got on his first “big bull” at the age of 14 – he and his twin brother were riding alongside guys who were in their 20’s. Cody added that they learned the downside to bull riding pretty quickly as they faced the tougher bulls at a very young age. He and his brother had no equipment in the beginning as they tried to keep their new hobby a secret from their parents by building a make-shift pen in one of their pastures that was out of site, receiving hand-me-down ropes, spurs, and using work gloves, etc., just to do what they loved most. They eventually couldn’t hide it any longer once Cody got hurt. His parents eventually agreed to let a man who worked for Cody’s dad and also rode bulls teach them how to ride properly. The now 24-year-old says his role model is, “Definitely Justin McBride, because he ain’t scared of nothing.” He also recalls his proudest moment in bull riding was winning the St. Paul, Oregon, and Pendleton, Oregon, Touring Pro Division events within two days of each other in 2013. Pendleton also included his most memorable ride, posting 91 points on Jeff Robinson’s Evel Knievel in the short-go to nail down his victory. 2016 PBR Media Guide | 191 Career Highlights •2015, won the Wichita, Kansas, BlueDEF Tour event. •2015, picked up TPD victories in both Madison, Wisconsin, and Johnson City, Tennessee. •2013, won four Touring Pro Division events; Guthrie, Okla., St. Paul, Ore., Pendleton, Ore., and Belton, Texas. •2013, earned the second alternate spot to his first Built Ford Tough Series event with the win in Belton. 192 | 2016 PBR Media Guide #51 CODY TYLER WHITE Season Events Finish Outs Rides Ride % +45 Ride % Career Earnings Points Wins Top 5 Finishes Top 10 Finishes 90 Point Rides 2015 5 51 10 0 0.00 0.00 $30,112 310 0 0 0 0 2013 1 0 2 0 0.00 0.00 $35,986 1,218.41 0 0 0 0 2012 0 0 0 0 0.00 0.00 $1,346 0 0 0 0 0 Totals 6 12 0 0.00 0 0 0 0 $67,444 #48 SEAN WILLINGHAM • @seanwillingham World Finals Qualifications: 11 Hometown: Summerville, Ga.

He was offered a rodeo scholarship to Western Texas College in Snyder, Texas, where he competed for three years before joining the PBR. While he is now considered one of the PBR’s veterans, he’s certain he has a few more years to give to the sport. When he’s not on the back of a bull he’s probably out on the water; Sean loves water sports such as wakeboarding, surfing and water skiing. He also enjoys playing an occasional round of golf with friends, like musician Colt Ford. Sean and his wife Kayla Leigh have a daughter, Lani Michael and are expecting a son, Conlee William, in February.

When it comes time to hit the chutes, hanging out with his buddies like Douglas Duncan, Chase Outlaw, Sean Willingham, and two-time World Champion J.B. Mauney, is what helps him stay relaxed. In his off time, Stormy likes hunting, fishing, and football. A former high school linebacker, if he hadn’t been a bull rider he would have liked to have been a football player.

World Finals Classic Champion – the best of the 3- and 4-year old bulls for the year. Then, Sweet Pro’s Long John (D&H Cattle Co.) won the Salem NationaLease High-Marked Bull award at the third event on the 2015 Built Ford Tough Series in Oklahoma City and continued to aggressively challenge his opponents each time he left the chutes for the rest of the year. Long John was the high-marked bull more than any other in 2015, achieving the honor at five BFTS events: Oklahoma City; Billings, Montana; Colorado Springs, Colorado; Tulsa, Oklahoma; and Thackerville, Oklahoma. He posted 10 scores of 45 points or better during his 14 outs for the season, and received the highest bull score of the entire season – 47.25 points – when he tossed Fabiano Vieira in the Built Ford Tough Championship Round of the 2015 PBR World Finals to win the 2015 World Champion Bull title. He was perfect at the event, also dumping Alexandre Cardozo in 2.72 seconds for a bull score of 45.25 points during Round 2. The PBR bull riders are polled each year before the World Finals to determine which bulls will be in contention for the title at the World Finals; Long John was the leader in the polls with 74.7 percent of the votes cast. Seven bulls were in contention for the 2015 title: Sweet Pro’s Long John, Smooth Operator, Roy, Jared Allen’s Air Time, Stone Sober, Jeremiah and Bruiser. The highest cumulative bull score after two outs at the World Finals is the winner. In 2015, it was Sweet Pro’s Long John. 2016 PBR Media Guide | 199 PBR BULLS 2015 PBR WORLD CHAMPION BULL CONTENDERS Sweet Pro’s Long John (D&H Cattle Co.), Jared Allen’s Air Time (Jared Allen’s Pro Bull Team), Smooth Operator (Dakota Rodeo-Berger/Struve), Roy (Julio Moreno Bucking Bulls), Bruiser (D&H Cattle Co.), Stone Sober (D&H Cattle Co.) and Jeremiah (Square Up-Smets/Dodson) were the top bull contenders for the 2015 PBR World Champion bull. Selected in a vote by the Top 35 bull riders in the world, each bull competed on the Built Ford Tough Series (BFTS) in 2015 and displayed what it takes to be classified a world champion. SWEET PRO’S LONG JOHN AIR TIME ROY 200 | 2016 PBR Media Guide Sweet Pro’s Long John was the high-marked bull at six events in 2015 and finished the season with an average bull score of 45.43. He made 14 outs in 2015 and has 28 for his career with an average career buckoff rate of 84 percent. J.W. Harris and J.B. Mauney each closed out the regular season with rides of 90.25 and 92.25 points respectively, on the big bull but Long John bucked off both Alexandre Cardozo and Fabiano Vieira during World Finals to win the season title. A World Champion bull contender in 2014 as well, Air Time dispatched all 10 of the riders he faced last season, including dumping both 2013 PBR World Champion J.B. Mauney and 2010 World Champion Renato Nunes, twice. He had an average bull score of 45.05 points and posted one of the highest bull scores of 2015, 47 points, at the World Finals while earning high-marked bull of the event three times in 2015. In 2015, riders were 0-for-8 against Roy, who holds a 90 percent career buckoff rate. Last season marked the second time Roy was named a top bull contender. Roy has been ridden just twice in his career, facing 17 riders total on the BFTS. He was the high-marked bull at two events in 2015, earning a career-high 46.25 points in Las Vegas during Last Cowboy Standing in May. The big white bovine is the half-brother to threetime PBR World Champion bull, Bushwacker. PBR BULLS Making 17 appearances in 2015, Smooth Operator has been ridden only once in his two-year BFTS career for a 97.22 percent buckoff rate. Guilherme Marchi, the 2008 World Champion, is the only rider to cover the spotted bovine as he notched 83.5 points on him in Billings, Montana, in 2015. Smooth Operator has a 24-1 BFTS record. SMOOTH OPERATOR In 2015 Bruiser wa the opportunity to be the first bull ever named a PBR World Champion bull as well as an ABBI Classic Champion. He had an average bull score of 45.22 points and a buckoff rate of 85.71 percent, tossing all but two of the nine riders he faced. Bruiser was the highmarked bull of the Springfield, Missouri, event with a season-high score of 46.25 points. BRUISER Stone Sober was not ridden in 2015, going 7-0 for the season. In 31 outs during his fouryear BFTS career, the bovine has been ridden just once, by Emilio Resende for 88 points in Oklahoma City in 2013. He finshed the season with a 96.83 career buckoff percentage and a 44.02 average bull score. He was named the high-marked bull twice in 2015 — in Kansas City (46.25 points) and Thackerville (45.25 points).

The PBR has set high standards for each stock contractor and their bucking bulls, who need to maintain a certain caliber to ensure that they are in top shape to perform. PBR Livestock Director Cody Lambert travels across the United States and hand picks bulls for each nationally-televised Built Ford Tough Series event, the BlueDEF Tour, and the Touring Pro Division. Each BFTS event will utilize eight to 15 contractors depending upon on the location and most importantly the quality of the stock. Each contractor supplies approximately seven to eight bulls per event. Bulls arrive at least 24 hours before the event, allowing them to become acclimated while also being given the opportunity to rest and become nourished and hydrated before the competition.

In the PBR, the bulls are treated with as much respect as, if not more than, the human athletes who ride them. The PBR’s Animal Welfare Policy exemplifies the great regard in which everyone associated with the organization holds these athletes, as well as explains the care they receive as professional athletes. WELFARE AND TREATMENT OF PBR’S ANIMAL ATHLETES POLICY: The Professional Bull Riders is fully committed to ensuring the health, safety, welfare and respect of each bovine athlete that enters a PBR arena. The care and treatment of PBR bulls is a top priority to those who govern and/or participate in PBR events. The organization operates under a no tolerance policy for any mistreatment of an animal associated with the PBR. PBR SAFETY & WELFARE MEASURES PBR has proactively initiated and implemented a number of measures designed to foster and support the welfare of our bovine athletes. • PBR redesigned the traditional rodeo bucking chute to improve rider and bull safety. Since its implementation, the design has eliminated leg injuries suffered by bulls in the bucking chutes, which is the most common form of injury. • PBR redesigned the traditional rodeo lead-up alleys and holding areas to further mitigate the risk of injuries to the bulls. • With the sport’s stock contractors, the PBR established guidelines for the transportation of bulls to and from events, including but not limited to: • Bulls ride in trailers with air-ride suspensions to reduce the risk of injury during transportation. • Bulls are hauled for no more than 10 hours at a time and given an equal amount of time to rest before resuming travel. • In each city in which an event is conducted, bulls are housed at local ranch facilities with the proper pen size and space per bull. Bulls are trucked from the local facility to the event venue and back each day. • There are approximately 60 bulls at a one-day event, 90 bulls at a two-day event and 110 bulls at a three-day event. A bull bucks only one time per day and no more than two times at a typical event. Approximately 30-40 of the bulls at a typical two-day event will buck only once. The welfare of PBR’s animal athletes is a higher priority than any other consideration when making decisions with respect to the animals’ well-being, including the financial impact of those decisions. In November 2006, the PBR held an event in Hawaii, the Hawaii All-Star. The PBR had the option to ship bulls to Hawaii via boat which would have taken seven days, but also cost considerably less than other alternatives. Instead, the PBR determined that the welfare of the animals would be compromised during such a journey, therefore it invested nearly 204 | 2016 PBR Media Guide PBR BULLS $350,000, compared to less than $100,000 if shipped by sea, to fly the necessary bulls to Hawaii for the event in special, customized containers. The value of the bulls to the stock contractors who own and breed them and to the PBR helps ensure that every effort and safeguard is in place to protect the bulls from any mistreatment or situation that would adversely affect their quality of life, ability to continue competing or their futures as breeding bulls. Many of the bulls currently bucking on PBR tours are valued at approximately six-figures; the owner of PBR’s greatest bull, Bushwacker, was offered $1 million for his threetime World Champion bull. CARE OF THE ANIMAL ATHLETES •Bulls receive about 10-15 pounds of a special blend of a high-protein grain ration per day. The blend varies depending on the bull’s needs and the stock contractor. •Bulls receive approximately 15 pounds of high-quality hay per day. •Many bulls receive a B-12 complex vitamin shot monthly as well as nutritional supplements. •Bulls receive a health inspection any time they have to cross state lines per federal, state and city regulations. •Bulls are only allowed to travel a maximum of 10 hours per day. After 10 hours, 2016 PBR Media Guide | 205 PBR BULLS the bulls are rested for 12-14 hours. •Bulls stand in 6-10 inches of sawdust shavings during transport for their comfort. •Each stock contractor has a local veterinarian on call for their bulls. •Many bulls also receive chiropractic care and acupuncture as needed to keep them in top shape and feeling great. 206 | 2016 PBR Media Guide PBR BULLS BUCKING BULLS Q&A L ike humans, PBR bucking bulls come in an array of shapes, sizes, and colors, and like humans, their own personalities and talents make them unique. The PBR has a vast number of championship-caliber bulls that compete on the PBR’s multi-tiered tour structure. The bulls receive impeccable treatment and are often considered to be a “member of the family.” Here are some frequently-asked questions about the welfare of PBR bucking bulls and the equipment used in professional bull riding. Q: Can any bull compete in a PBR event? A: Not every bull can compete in a PBR event. Saying any bull is suitable for PBR competition is like saying that any human athlete is fit enough to compete in the Olympic Games. PBR bulls are the highest-caliber bucking bulls in the business. Many are products of elite breeding programs that for years have been fine-tuning the important role that genetics play in producing a great bucking bull. A majority of PBR bulls are bred and born to compete in the PBR arena. Q: What does the average bull weigh? A: The average PBR bucking bull weighs approximately 1,600-1,700 pounds. PBR bucking bulls very rarely weigh less than 1,200 pounds but can weigh as much as 2,000-2,200 pounds. Q: What does a bull eat? A: Bulls eat high-protein feed and high-quality hay. High-protein feed helps the bulls keep their strength and endurance. High-quality hay provides nutrients that help keep a bull healthy. Q: Where do bulls live? A: The bulls live on large ranches where they get plenty of air and exercise. There are many ranches from coast-to-coast across North America. Q: What is the average PBR bull worth? A: The monetary value of a bucking bull depends greatly upon his proven performance in the arena; however, most PBR bulls are worth at least $10,000, with a few boasting values of more than $500,000. An animal, which is a proven sire of other quality bucking bulls, becomes even more valuable. A PBR bull is ranked just like the PBR bull riders. When a bull consistently receives high marks, his value increases. The higher the ranking in areas such as overall performance, buckoff percentage, and average rider score, the higher the conceivable price tag. Q: What is the lifespan of a bucking bull? A: Bucking bulls often live well into their teens, which would be considered geriatric for any bull. Though a bucking bull may often be in his prime as an athlete around age 5 or 6, many bulls buck past the age of 10. When they retire 2016 PBR Media Guide | 207 PBR BULLS from competition they’re often used as sires in bucking bull breeding programs. Q: What makes a bull buck? A: The bull’s bucking has absolutely nothing to do with irritation to the genitals. The success of bucking bull breeding programs around the world has proven that genetics are the main factor in determining a bull’s desire and ability to buck. The American Bucking Bull is now a recognized breed of cattle, thanks to the PBR and ABBI (American Bucking Bull Inc.). ABBI has over 160,000 animals with bucking bull genetics registered in its database. The bulls will kick out their hind legs at the height of their bucking action in an effort to dislodge the flank rope that encircles their body. The flank strap helps create a more uniform, less erratic bucking performance. The flank strap is positioned around the bull’s flank, in front of their hips. Care is taken to ensure that the genitals are not involved; the flank strap never comes in contact with the bull’s genitals. Q: What is a bull rope? A: The bull rope is what the bull rider holds on to throughout his ride. It is wrapped around the chest of the bull directly behind the animal’s front legs. At the bottom of the rope hangs a metal bell designed to give the rope some weight so that it will fall off the bull as soon as the rider is bucked off or dismounts the animal. The bell has smooth, round edges and does not harm the bull in any way. Q: What is the difference between a Conventional and a Brazilian bull rope? A: The most apparent difference is that the ropes are pulled from opposite sides. The Conventional rope is pulled from the riding hand side while the Brazilian rope is pulled from the free hand side. There are also subtle differences in the way the ropes are braided. With a conventional bull rope, the loop (the knotted part of the rope used for adjustment) is on the free hand side of the handle while the tail (the portion of rope that is run through the loop and back to the hand) is on the riding hand side of the handle. The Brazilian rope is braided with the loop on the riding hand side and the tail on the free hand side. The style used is the one which the rider feels gives them the best grip. Neither style harms the bull in any way. Q: Do the spurs worn by a bull rider cut or scratch a bull? A: Bull riders wear spurs that are required to have dull, loosely locked rowels (the wheel-like part of the spur that comes into contact with the animal). The spurs help a rider maintain his balance by giving him added grip with his feet. The spurs do not cut or scratch a bull’s hide, which is seven times thicker than a human’s skin. Q: How many miles do bulls travel on the PBR circuit? A: The PBR has an extensive network of stock contractors located in all parts of North America, therefore the best bulls in the country are provided for each event 208 | 2016 PBR Media Guide PBR BULLS regardless of location. The bulls arrive at the arena at least 24 hours prior to an event which helps ensure that they are acclimated, rested, well-fed and hydrated prior to competition. Q: Is there a veterinarian on site at all PBR events? A: There is always a designated veterinarian assigned to the PBR’s Built Ford Tough Series events either on site or on call. If there appears to be a sick or injured bull at an event, the veterinarian is notified immediately. Health papers are also required on all animals arriving at an event. They are inspected as they are unloaded prior to competition. PBR stock contractors treat their bulls with respect because they are a huge investment. These animals are truly gifted, so they are given the absolute best care available. BULL INJURIES: It is extremely rare that a PBR bull is injured as a result of its performance, however bulls that suffer a career-ending injury are retired to stud and live the balance of their lives as healthy, fully capable breeding bulls. While their injuries may prevent them from competing at the PBR level as a bucking athlete, they do not impede their quality of life or ability to function PBR POLICY FOR INJURED BULLS: •At Built Ford Tough Series events there is a vet on site or on call at all times during the performances. •In most cases involving bulls suffering an injury in the arena, they are able to leave on their own. •In the case of a bull not being able to leave under his own power, PBR has the ability to assist and insure a safe departure of the injured bull. •At all Built Ford Tough Series events, a sled is available upon which the bull is secured and taken from the arena, usually by a skid steer. •After an injured bull has exited the arena, he is put on a trailer and taken to the veterinarian’s office or bull housing for further evaluation. •In the case of serious injuries requiring assisted help from outside the arena, updates to the bull’s condition will be released to the public upon PBR’s approval.

(ABBI) just over a decade ago. ABBI is the largest bucking cattle registry in the world with more than 170,000 animals that are DNA verified in its organization. These animals are recognized as being part of a unique breed called American Bucking Bull and registered bulls can compete at ABBI events for prize money. As breeding bucking bulls has become more of a science, their buck-off rate against the cowboys has risen. The formation of ABBI as a separate entity has added a whole new dimension to the sport. The ABBI offers valuable incentives to bull breeders, while tracking and preserving the lineage of today’s top PBR and ABBI bulls. The ABBI sanctions and produces marquee events for bucking bull breeders, including the Classic World Finals and the Futurity World Finals, which both began in 2004. ABBI paid over $3 million to bucking bulls in 2015. Superstar animals such as three-time PBR World Champion Bull Bushwacker began their careers competing at ABBI events. The ABBI Classic World Finals features the top Classic (3- and 4-year-old) bulls competing for a grand prize of $200,000. It is held in conjunction with the PBR Built Ford Tough World Finals. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS: Q: What is an ABBI Classic event? A: An ABBI Classic event is an event which is open to ABBI registered 3- and 4-yearold bulls, typically held in conjunction with a PBR-sanctioned event. The bulls are ridden by cowboys and the bulls receive scores by a panel of ABBI judges. These scores are independent of the score the cowboy receives, with a score of 100 being perfect. Any bull score in the 90s is considered to be outstanding. Q: What is an ABBI Futurity event? A: It is an event open to ABBI registered 2-year-old bulls. Rather than a rider, each bull has a 25-pound box (dummy) on his back which is released via remote control at 4 seconds. ABBI judges award the animal a score based on his performance during the 4 seconds. Q: What is the American Heritage Futurity Event? A: The ABBI American Heritage is a Futurity event held each spring. It is a unique event in which animals are entered into the system as calves and sustaining payments are made in the years leading up to the event. The payout depends on how many animals are entered each year, but the winner typically earns around $100,000, however, it isn’t unusual for close to half a million dollars total to be paid in prize money. Q: What is Back Seat Buckers? A: Back Seat Buckers is the PBR and ABBI’s turnkey bull ownership program. Back Seat Buckers allows anyone to become a stock contractor and own a bucking bull. The bulls compete against each other for hundreds of thousands of dollars in prize 210 | 2016 PBR Media Guide PBR BULLS money. Competitions are held in conjunction with PBR Built Ford Tough Series events. The bulls in the program are housed at a special facility in Texas where they are trained and cared for by some of the best bull handlers in the business. Owners in the program have ranged from PBR fans to celebrities such as Boomer Esiason, Reggie Jackson, Wayne Gretzky, John Elway, NY Giants player Bear Pascoe, UFC star Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone and country superstar Jerrod Niemann. Q: How does the ABBI register animals? A: Breeders submit an application with information such as date of birth and potential parentage and a DNA sample (blood or tail hair). Following verification of parentage using the sample, the animal is issued a registration certificate. The registration certificate is entered into the ABBI database with the verified parentage and DNA profile. Q: What is the Classic World Finals? A: Held in conjunction with the PBR Built Ford Tough World Finals, the ABBI’s Top 3- and 4-year-old bulls, (based upon the regular season standings) compete for a grand prize of $200,000. The total payout for the World Bucking Bull Classic is more than $400,000. Q: Can females be registered with the ABBI? A: It is essential that females be registered to ensure the complete genetic record of a bucking bull is preserved. Also, many breeders believe that the dam (mother) is as important as the sire (father), if not more so, in producing a great bucking bull. Q: Who owns the ABBI? A: The PBR owns 50 percent of ABBI with the remainder owned by a group of breeders and stock contractors who purchased interest in the organization when it was created. Q: What makes an American Bucking Bull buck? A: The success of bucking bull breeding programs around the world, with managed and deliberate mating sessions, has proven that genetics are the most prevalent factor in determining a bull’s desire and ability to buck. Bucking is a natural instinct; a bull can’t be made to buck. Careful selective breeding has encouraged this natural behavior in certain genetic lines. The American Bucking Bull breed as a whole has been improved as breeders select bulls for their athleticism, bucking desire (“heart”) and confirmation. 2016 PBR Media Guide | 211 PBR BULLS WORLD BUCKING BULL CLASSIC CHAMPION The World Finals Classic Champion is the ABBI registered 3- or 4-year-old bull who wins the World Finals Classic Event. Bulls qualify for the Finals based on money accumulated during the regular season at ABBI Classic Events, which are held in conjunction with PBR events.

An open box means that the rider did not place in that particular event. Records for the 1994 & 1995 season are currently incomplete. In its attempt to provide a complete and accurate publication as possible, the PBR chose to omit the records for those two seasons. Every attempt is being taken to gather information for these two seasons and may eventually be provided in the future. 246 | 2016 PBR Media Guide T7 6 T2 3 T5 T6 9 7 8 10 9 6 9 5 10 8 1 3 6 3 4 1 10 4 T1 2 T1 9 1 T6 T7 8 4 T7 6 T1 4 9 6 5 T2 4 3 6 3 10 5 1 10 San Antonio, Texas San Jose, Calif.
