THE
PBR
The PBR is all about bull riding and the first step is just to stay alive.
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.

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
• 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.

THE PBR ON TELEVISION
The PBR ranks among the most prolific
sports on television.
In 2013 the PBR developed a relationship
with CBS Sports and CBS Sports Network.
In 2014 the agreement was extended,
making CBS Sports and CBS Sports
Network the primary television partners
of the PBR for several years.
CBS Sports Network and CBS began
broadcasting PBR Built Ford Tough Series
events in 2012 as part of a split package
with NBC and NBC Sports Network.
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 2015, CBS Sports Network televised
27 event dates during the regular
season, as well as all five rounds of the
Built Ford Tough World Finals, while
CBS broadcasted 14 special events/
rounds of competition.
The first of the two highest-rated events
in 2015 was a 1.6 with 1.87 HH and 2.4
8 | 2016 PBR Media Guide
plus million viewers tuning in on Oct.
4th for the event in Tucson, Arizona.
It was the most-watched PBR event on
CBS in more than four years. The second
highest-rated broadcast of the year
was the Sept 20th airing of the BFTS
from Charlotte, North Carolina, which
garnered a 1.2 rating with 1.42 HH and
1.8 plus million viewers.
In 2016 there will be more than 400
hours of coverage of the PBR’s elite Built
Ford Tough Series, including 100 hours
of live coverage on CBS Sports Network.
There will be a total of 50 events
broadcast on CBS and CBS Sports Network
with supplemental online broadcasts.
CBS Sports Network will televise 36
rounds of competition across 27 events,
while CBS will televise 14 events,
including bull riding action from the
PBR Majors at Madison Square Garden
in New York City, AT&T Stadium in
Arlington, Texas, Las Vegas Village in
Las Vegas, and Bridgestone Arena in
Nashville, Tennessee.
CBS coverage also will include the
popular PBR 15/15 Bucking Battles,
featuring the Top 15 riders in the world
competing against the Top 15 bulls.
The PBR also has 37 international
broadcast partners in 114 territories,
and is available in half a billion
households worldwide.
PURE PBR BROADCASTS
The PURE PBR broadcasts provide a new
approach to PBR coverage, including everything from candid moments between
rides to various opportunities for the
broadcasters to not only explain, but
also visually illustrate the point they’re
trying to make. PBR commentators take
viewers inside the world of the PBR,
spending one-on-one time with riders
before their rides and giving viewers a
chance to listen in on the one-of-a-kind
conversation.

THE
PBR
RIDER RELIEF FUND – WWW.RIDERRELIEF.COM
The goal is the buckle and a check, but both can vanish in less than 8 seconds.
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.
Those interested in making a tax-deductible donation to or receiving more
information about the Rider Relief Fund please contact:
Aubrey Harris, Fund Operations Manager

THE
PBR ENTERTAINER
FLINT RASMUSSEN
Funnyman & World Champion Barrel Man
As the official entertainer of the
Professional Bull Riders since 1998,
it is Flint Rasmussen’s job to keep
the crowd engaged during lulls in the
action or during commercial breaks.
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.”

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. In addition to announcing the
riders and bulls and the ride scores, the
in-arena announcers also provide interesting facts and anecdotes.
2006. His career as a bareback rider
concluded in the mid-1990s. He began
announcing events in Trinity, Texas,
and gained experience at events in
Texas, Louisiana, and Mississippi. The
accomplished bass angler and his wife,
Jodi, live near Huntsville, Texas, with
their daughters, Riley and Emily.
Bates announced his first PBR event in
2001 and his first PBR Built Ford Tough
World Finals in 2003. The native of
Zachary, La., began announcing when
he was 17 years old and has done a
great deal of radio and television work.
He is host and executive producer
of Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation’s
television show “Team Elk,” which was
formerly “The Elk Chronicles,” on the
Outdoor Channel. He lives in Edmond,
Okla., with his wife, Ashly, and their
daughter, Zeyda.
West announces BlueDEF Tour and
Touring Pro Division events across
the country and has also worked PBR
events in Australia and Canada. The
Oklahoma native has worked several

THE
PBR BULLFIGHTERS
DICKIES® BULLFIGHTERS
As if facing a rampaging 1,800-pound animal for 8 seconds isn’t daunting enough,
how about doing it for more than six hours a weekend and being responsible for
the safety of the world’s top bull riders? 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

and 2010 he hosted VERSUS’ “Best of the
West.” His father-in-law is 2007 PBR Ring

JESSE BYRNE
Jesse Byrne joined the PBR Dickies®
Bullfighters in 2008. He became the first
Canadian selected by the riders to work
the Built Ford Tough World Finals when he

to work the World Finals every year since
then. Byrne, who will turn 30 in February,
is from Prince Albert, Saskatoon, but now
lives in Okotoks, Alberta. He was selected
to work the PBR Canada Finals six years in
a row. He rode bulls in junior events, but
at the age of 16 decided that he would
prefer to be a bullfighter. His father, Ryan,
is the only Canadian bullfighter selected
to work the National Finals Rodeo, earning
the honor in 1986. His brother, Tanner,
finished the 2015 PBR season as the top
performing Canadian at No. 8.

the 2016 season. He currently lives in
Wayne, Oklahoma.

belt buckle.
It is the ultimate symbol of
achievement and is worn with pride
by those athletes talented enough to
earn it.
On the Built Ford Tough Series, buckles
are awarded to each regular-season
event winner, each PBR World Finals
round winner, the PBR World Finals
event winner and the PBR World
Champion.
The custom buckle for each Built
Ford Tough Series event is created
by Montana Silversmiths, the official
silversmiths of the PBR.
Regular-season event buckles are
valued at a minimum of $1,000, while
the buckle awarded to the PBR World
Champion is valued at more than
$10,000.
THE
PBR Cup
T
he PBR Cup is a traveling monument
to the best riders in the world.
Each year a gold buckle is added,
inscribed with the name of the new
PBR World Champion, immortalizing the
winner forever.
Crafted from silver, gold and precious
stones and perched atop a solid marble
base, the PBR Cup is valued at more
than $250,000.

THE
PBR
BULL RIDING BASICS
The PBR is thrilled to introduce you to the toughest sport on dirt –
bull riding.
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

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.

2016 PBR Media Guide | 29
PBR BULL RIDING BASICS
PROFESSIONAL BULL RIDER’S GEAR
THE
1. 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,

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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”.
T
PBR USA TOURS
he Professional Bull Riders bring the “Toughest Sport on Dirt” to major arenas
across the United States with the nationally-televised Built Ford Tough Series,
featuring the Top 35 bull riders in the world, the BlueDEF Velocity Tour, and the
Touring Pro Division, the PBR’s development tours.
Each event pits the best bull riders against the top bovine athletes in the world during
two hours of heart-pounding, bone-crushing, edge-of-your-seat excitement from the
thrills and spills, rock ‘n’ roll music and pyrotechnics of the show. It’s entertainment
and sports talent rolled into one and unrivaled by any other major-league sport.
BUILT FORD TOUGH SERIES:
The Built Ford Tough Series is the nationallytelevised, elite tour of the PBR featuring the
world’s Top 35 bull riders going head-to-head
against the fiercest bucking bulls on the planet.
In 2015 the series will make 27 stops in 18
states, opening at the Royal Farms Arena in
Baltimore, Maryland on Jan. 2-3. It will conclude
in Las Vegas with the PBR Built Ford Tough World
Finals, the richest bull riding event in the world,
awarding nearly $2.2 million in prize money, including the $1 million bonus to the
PBR World Champion, who also receives the coveted $10,000 championship belt
buckle.
During a regular-season BFTS two-day event, each of the 35 riders will ride in one
round each day - Round 1 and Round 2. Following Round 2, the riders with the 15
highest two-round total scores will advance to the Built Ford Tough Championship
Round where they will each ride one more bull. The overall event winner will be
the rider with the highest combined score from all three rounds.
For a standard three-day event, each of the 35 riders will ride in one round
each day - Round 1, Round 2 and Round 3. Following Round 3, the riders with
the 15 highest three-round total scores will advance to the Built Ford Tough
Championship Round where they will each ride one more bull. The overall event
winner will be the rider with the highest combined score from all three rounds.
PBR MAJORS
Four events on the Built Ford Tough Series are considered PBR Majors – New York
City; Arlington, Texas; Las Vegas; and Nashville, Tennessee. These events offer
unique formats, bonus bulls and increased prize money and are broadcast on CBS
Television Network. They make up the PBR Grand Slam Series.
15/15 BUCKING BATTLE
In several markets throughout the season the PBR adds a special round of
competition to the Built Ford Tough Series events called the 15/15 Bucking Battle.
This round features the Top 15 bull riders in the PBR randomly matched against
the Top 15 bulls at the event. An additional purse and one and a half times the
round points are up for grabs. Although the points do not factor into the specific
event’s overall outcome, they do count toward the PBR World Standings.

T
he PBR’s BlueDEF Tour Presented by Real Time Pain Relief (BDT) began in 2014
as the premier expansion tour for the PBR, featuring the young, emerging bull
riding talent alongside some of the superstars of the sport.
The BlueDEF Tour brings the excitement and talent of the PBR that fans have
come to expect from the leader in the sport of bull riding to cities across the U.S.
that are not currently included on the Built Ford Tough Series (BFTS) schedule.
The tour is 100% produced and operated by PBR, providing fans the highest
quality experience available. In 2016 the BDT will visit approximately 25 cities,
including the BlueDEF Tour Finals.
The BDT is the primary and most important qualifying series for bull riders to
earn valuable points needed to qualify for the BFTS and ultimately the PBR World
Finals. Additionally, every winner of a BDT regular season event will be seeded at
one BFTS event during each season, providing yet another avenue for the PBR’s top
talent to increase their position in the overall world standings.
The BlueDEF Tour Finals will be featured as the last event of the season to take
place just prior to the PBR World Finals each year. The Top 35 riders from the
BDT along with qualifying representatives from PBR’s International territories
including Australia, Brazil, Canada and Mexico will compete for the final five
positions available at the PBR World Finals making it the most important event on
the schedule outside of the PBR World Finals itself.

#11 EDUARDO APARECIDO [Ah-pair-a-see-doe]
World Finals Qualifications: 3
Hometown: Gouvelandia, GO
Residence: Decatur, Texas
Height: 5-8
Weight: 160
Born: 6/4/90
Riding Hand: Right
BFTS Season: 5th
Career Earnings: $678,006
High-Marked Ride: 93.25 points on Roy during the Championship Round of the World Finals on Oct. 26, 2014
Personal
2016 PBR Media Guide | 87
As a kid, Eduardo would watch rodeos on TV and told himself that one day he would ride bulls. 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.

Robson Aragao did not ride bulls when he was young child; Robson did not get on his first bull until he
was 20 years old. 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.

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.

2016 PBR Media Guide | 93
This superstitious bull rider says that he always tries to ride wearing red or black, and if he wears a
different color he doesn’t ride comfortably. 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.

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.

Although Tanner grew up in a community where bull riding was not common, there’s no question how he
ended up as a bull rider. 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.

With no toys to play with and his dad managing a ranch, Alex began riding bulls and horses at 8 years
old to keep him occupied while his dad went to work. 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.

2016 PBR Media Guide | 101
A third-generation bull rider (his father and grandfather both rode professionally), Reese says he was riding
horses before he could walk (his mother, aunts and grandmother were all barrel racers). 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.
Career Highlights
•2015, picked up the first BFTS victory of his career to kick off the 2015 season with a win in
Baltimore, Maryland, going 3-for-3 on the weekend.
•2015, followed his first win up with a second victory in Sacramento, California, less than a month later.

Unlike most of the other riders, Cooper didn’t grow up in a rodeo family; he only watched bull riding on TV. 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.

•2015, won the Denver, Colorado, Touring Pro Division event.

As a young boy with 11 siblings, Valdiron listened to stories of his oldest brother, Valteir, on his
experiences bull riding. 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.
Career Highlights
•2015, missed four weeks of competition due to a broken sternum when he was struck in the chest with
a horn by his Round 1 bull in Biloxi, Mississippi…he returned to the tour in Springfield, Missouri.
•2015, won the Seattle, Washington, event.
•2014, led the Anaheim, California, event from start to finish for his first win of the season.

Growing up on Indian land and nicknamed “Cherokee Kid,” Ryan began riding when he was 9 years old.
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.

Bull riding is what Douglas will tell you he has always wanted to do, his mother even became a flight
attendant early in his life because she knew it would help him with the travel aspect of the bull riding
circuit. 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.

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.

Gage was exposed to bull riding at a very early age, considering his father, uncles and cousins all rode
bulls. 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.

Personal
As the son of a bull rider, Tyler grew up on a farm and his dad eventually put him on a calf just to see
how long he could stay on. 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.

2014 Rookie of the Year
Personal
The four-time PRCA Champion turned 2014 PBR Rookie of the year was surrounded by bull riding from day
one. 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.

Personal
A former Kansas High School Rodeo Association champion and son of a bull rider, Kasey says his favorite bull to
ride is, “any bull I win on”. 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.

2016 PBR Media Guide | 125
This Ramen Noodle-loving bull rider got on his first bull at the age of 18 when he was a senior in high
school. 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.
Career Highlights
•2015, qualified for and competed in his first PBR World Finals.
•2015, won the BlueDef Tour event in Detroit, Michigan, to earn a spot in Iron Cowboy at AT&T Stadium
in Arlington, Texas.
•2015, picked up Touring Pro Division victories in San Antonio, Texas, twice, Rock Springs, Texas, and
Wharton, Texas.
•2014, following his Top 5 finish in Laughlin, Nevada, the PBR extended him a three-event exemption to

2016 PBR Media Guide | 127
Before any given PBR competition, you might find Jordan near the bullpen staring down his draw. 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. This admitted homebody also
really enjoys working on his house when not traveling and spending quality time with his daughter
Paisley Viola who was born July of 2013.

•2015, earned the Touring Pro Division win in Goliad, Texas.
•2014, won Touring Pro Division events in Denver, Colorado, and Prescott, Arizona

Personal
Ben is known for electrifying the crowd after a successful ride when he performs his signature dance
that he describes as “pure jubilation”. 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.

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.

High-Marked Ride: 88 points on Gentleman Jim during Last Cowboy Standing in Las Vegas on May 22, 2015
Personal
It was Michael’s brother-in-law who first got him interested in bull riding, being a bull rider himself.
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.
Career Highlights
•2015, received his first qualification to the PBR World Finals with his fourth-place finish on the BlueDEF Tour.
•2015, won the Rainsville, Alabama, Touring Pro Division event.
•2013, picked up the win at the Touring Pro Division event in Dothan, Alabam

Personal
This North Dakota native is also a Native American Indian of Sioux and Chippewa descent. 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.

Residence: Decatur, Texas

High-Marked Ride: 93.75 points on Mossy Oak Mudslinger at World Finals on Nov. 1, 2004
2004 PBR World Champion
2004 World Finals Event Winner
Personal
Riding every weekend by the time he was 11 years old, Mike says his dad initially tried to scare him out of bull
riding by entering him in a local steer-riding jackpot contest. 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.
Career Highlights
•2015, rode Percolator (Jeff Robinson Bucking Bulls) for 92 points to win the PBR 15/15 Bucking Battle
in Boise, Idaho.
•2015, won the Decatur, Texas, BlueDEF Tour event and the Odessa, Texas, TPD event.
•2014, won both outdoor events this year, taking Thackerville, Oklahoma, and Laughlin, Nevada, where

•2014, ranked in the Top 5 of the PBR world standings all season long until the World Finals where he
ended up seventh overall.

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.
Career Highlights
•2015, competed at the Baltimore, Maryland, BFTS event before taking the entire year off.
•2014, finished in eighth place at the World Finals, despite missing the last two rounds coping with a
left groin strain and left ankle fracture

Mason began his career as a bull rider when he was three years old on his family’s farm. 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.
Career Highlights
•2015, won the Jacksonville, Florida, BlueDEF tour event to earn an alternate spot on the BFTS.
•2015, picked up a win at the Binford, North Dakota, TPD event.
•2014, split the Cleburne, Texas, Touring Pro Division event with Luis Blanco to earn a roster spot at
the Colorado Springs, Colorado, BFTS event.

Personal
The 2008 PBR World Champion ranks fourth in career earnings with $4,855,575, and is one of four bull
riders in history to reach $4. He also ranks fourth in career 90-point rides with 51. Guilherme started
bull riding at 15 years old with the influence of his older brother Juliano, who rides bulls for PBR Brazil.
He says that he also looked up to Adriano Moraes early on in his career. Guilherme runs, rides horses and
works out as often as he can to prepare for competitions. 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. Guilherme spends his down time team roping and riding
horses with his children Manuela (11) and son Joao Gabriel (7) on their ranch in Ferris, Texas.

This Australian started riding at around eight years old. His uncles taught him how to ride and helped him work on his technique.
Dave said he looks up to two-time PBR World Champion Justin McBride and 2004 PBR World Champion Mike Lee, who is happy to be
riding alongside on tour. While he feels he has accomplished a lot since he first started riding, he also believes his proudest moment
is still yet to come. Dave notes that his most memorable ride came this year at the Livingston, Montana, Touring Pro Division event
when he scored 90 points on Flight Plan to win the entire event. When he’s not traveling with his fiancé Jesse from city to city to
compete, Dave trains horses and does ranch work, while also using a lot of his time to work out and train.

Unsurprisingly, the two-time PBR World Champion says one of his most memorable rides ever was conquering
the virtually un-ridden Bushwacker in Tulsa, Oklahoma, in August 2013 on his ninth attempt at riding the
World Champion Bull. 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.

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. Pierce, Florida, and
Goodland, Kansas.

2009 Rookie of the Year
Personal
Cody, whose father was a member of the crew who built the 60-foot tall replica of the Eiffel Tower in his hometown
of Paris, Tenn., began riding bulls when he was 14 with the help of his uncle and stepfather. 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.

Personal
Born into a bull riding family, Thad grew up hearing about his dad and watching his older brothers ride
bulls. 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.

Hometown: Hamburg, Ark.
Residence: Tilly, Ark.
Height: 5-6
Weight: 150
Born: 6/24/92

BFTS Season: 5th
Career Earnings: $545,419
High-Marked Ride: 90.75 points, twice, most recently on Crack The Whip in New York, New York, on January 18, 2015
Personal
When it comes to riding bulls, this five-time Arkansas State Champion and stepbrother to fellow bull
rider Reese Cates says his motto is just “show up and get it done!”, though there is a high probability
that he will have downed a cheeseburger first, one of his favorite pre-competition foods. 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.
Career Highlights
•2015, won the second PBR 15/15 Bucking Battle of the season with an 89.25-point ride on Crack The
Whip (J.A.R.S. Bucking Bulls/Gene Owen).
•2015, ranked 10th in the world before dislocating his right shoulder and tearing his rotator cuff during
the Kansas City, Kansas, event...took six months off to undergo surgery and heal.
•2014, covered all three of his bulls for the second win of his Built Ford Tough Series career while in

When Robson was 8 years old, his mom bought him a VCR tape from a rodeo in Brazil. 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. Robson also has a daughter, Vitória, who lives in Brazil with her mother.

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.

World Finals Qualifications: 7
Hometown: Grand Coulee, Wash.
Residence: Mooresville, N.C. Height: 5-8
Weight: 165
Born: 3/24/85
Riding Hand: Right
BFTS Season: 10th
CareeEarnings: $1,061,336
High-Marked Ride: 91.25 points, two times; last time, Bones in New York on Jan. 8, 2010
2011 Touring Pro Division Champion
Personal
Riding since he was 3 and big bulls since he was 15, Shane’s mother insisted he wear a helmet the first
time he rode and he has never competed without one. 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.
Career Highlights
•2015, led riders in bulls attempted with 88, while also making the most appearances in the Built Ford
Tough Championship Round at 16.
•2015, had career-best 12 Top 10 finishes.

Anthony Covington, whose nickname was Stoney…the bull had killed Covington in 2005, and out of respect was renamed by Corey. “There were a lot of friends
and family at the event, and when I rode that bull there was a lot of emotion, and I think it helped put closure on Stoney’s accident.”

This cowboy is a man of many talents. 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.
Career Highlights
•2015, picked up the second win of his BFTS career going 4-for-4 in Billings, Montana, only four hours away from
his hometown.
•2015, won the Williston, North Dakota, Touring Pro Division event.
•2015, ranked fourth in bulls attempted with 81.
•2014, won the Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, event for the first Built Ford Tough Series victory of his career...was

Brady is the first of his family to become a bull rider. 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

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.
A determined athlete, Bryan rehabbed a broken-hip injury that should have kept him out of competition
for two years, and had himself back in the arena within six months.
Career Highlights
•2015, earned a spot on the Built Ford Tough Series in Sacramento, California, with his win at the PBR
BlueDEF Tour event in Laredo, Texas.

Matt started riding bulls when he was 10 years old with help from his dad who rode bulls 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.
Career Highlights
•2015, posted 90.5 points on Shaft (E-J Bucking Bulls, LLC/Gene Owen) to win the last PBR 15/15 Bucking
Battle of the season in Allentown, Pennsylvania.

Fabiano began riding bulls on a farm where he worked, although it was tough for him to start competing
in Brazil professionally. 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.
Career Highlights
•2015, won the PBR 15/15 Bucking Battle in Colorado Springs, Colorado, with a 90.25-point ride on

Joao was born and raised on a farm outside of Itatinga, Sao Paulo, where his father, Joao Batista da
Silva Ambrosio, managed the land and livestock of another family. 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

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.

Sean grew up team roping and did not get on a steer until he was 15 years old. 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.

Personal
Stormy was born with riding in his blood – he grew up on a ranch and his father was a bull rider. Riding steers
at age four and big bulls by 14, this rider says a lot of daily cowboy work and riding colts keeps him in top bull
riding shape. 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. When he retires from the PBR, he plans to be a horseman
and spend most of his time with his little girl, Suede Marie, was born during the 2012 PBR World Finals.

PBR BULLS
SWEET PRO’S LONG JOHN
2015 PBR WORLD CHAMPION BULL
H
e first came to the attention of the world’s best bull riders in 2014 when
he won more than $200,000 on his way to becoming the ABBI (American
Bucking Bull, Inc.) 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.

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).

STOCK CONTRACTORS
PBR BULLS
The Professional Bull Riders uses more than 100 different stock contractors across
the United States with each contractor on average owning 20-200 bulls.
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.
STOCK CONTRACTOR OF THE YEAR
The Stock Contractor of the Year is determined by a vote of the Top 35 bull riders
in the world.

PBR BULLS
PBR ON ANIMAL WELFARE
There are two great athletes in every 8-second ride, the bull rider and THE BULL.
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.

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.

PBR BULLS
AMERICAN BUCKING BULL, INCORPORATED (ABBI)
D
ue to the explosive growth of the sport of professional bull riding and the
increasing popularity of the bucking bull athletes themselves, PBR and a group of
stock contractors formed American Bucking Bull, Inc. (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.

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

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.

PBR RECORDS & STATISTICS
PBR MILESTONES
During the last 23 years, the PBR has seen a few record-breaking performances and achieved
several notable milestones which decidedly define it as the Toughest Sport on Dirt!
J.B. Mauney became the $6 million dollar man after winning his second PBR World Championship. With the win, Mauney became the richest athlete in western sports history
with total career earnings of $6,708,492.
Silvano Alves sets consecutive rides record (2015)
One year after J.B. Mauney broke a record for consecutive rides that had stood for 16
years with 16 qualified rides, three-time PBR World Champion Silvano Alves shattered
the recored by stringing together 24 consecutive BFTS qualified rides. The streak
began in Oct., 2014 in Biloxi, Mississippi, and ended in Jan. 2015 during Round 1 of
the Oklahoma City BFTS event when Big Dip (Brewer Bucking Bulls/Shane Ludemann)
bucked him off after only 2.65 seconds.
Silvano Alves reached $4 & $5 million faster than any rider in history Silvano Alves reached $4
and $5 million after winning his third PBR World Championship in 2014, achieving
the milestone faster than any rider in history – 131 events and 54 months. Alves
also surpassed Justin McBride in career earnings and became the richest athlete in
Western sports history at that time.
Guilherme Marchi rides 500 bulls (2014)
In March at the PBR’s Bass Pro Chute Out in Phoenix, Arizona, Guilherme Marchi
successfully covered his 500th PBR bull with an 84-point effort on Pandora’s Pyxis
(Jeff Robinson Bucking Bulls). The feat took him 10 years (he debuted on the PBR
in 2004) and the tally is growing with each event. At the time of printing he sits
at 521 successful rides.
J.B. Mauney makes greatest comeback in PBR history to win his first PBR World Championship [2013]
J.B. Mauney began the second half of the 2013 Built Ford Tough Series ranked No.
10 and 3,056 points behind No. 1 Silvano Alves, who looked certain to win his third
consecutive World Championship title. Mauney then won five of the nine remaining
BFTS events in the season, winning the last three consecutively; then rode every bull
at the World Finals, winning four of the six rounds to capture the World Finals title –
his fourth consecutive win – and passed Alves to win the PBR World Championship by
977.75 points. It was the greatest comeback in PBR history.
Bushwacker breaks and sets consecutive buckoff streak [2013]
In 2013 Julio Moreno’s World Champion Bull Bushwacker broke the previous Built
Ford Tough Series buckoff streak record of 35 consecutive buckoffs (set by D&H
Cattle Company’s Silver Wings) and extended it to 42 until it was ended in Tulsa,
Okla. The streak ran from 2009 until 2013. ESPN The Magazine featured the
champion bull in its Body Issue that year as the “baddest body in sports.” It was
the first time the magazine had featured an animal in the issue.
Streak-slayer J.B. Mauney rides the “unridable” Bushwacker [2013]
In his ninth career attempt, J.B. Mauney successfully covered the “unridable” 2011
PBR World Champion Bull Bushwacker for 95.25 points at the Express Employment

bull riders riding in Round 1. Riders who reached 8 seconds advanced to the next
round. The elimination format continued until only Snyder remained. It was a payper-view event because PBR broadcast partner VERSUS was unable to air the event

$1.6 million, increasing his career earnings to more than $2.5 million.

Getting New Yorkers to stop and stare is not an easy task, but the PBR did just
that on Oct. 15, 2010, with the Top 10 bull riders in the world competing outdoors
in Times Square. Thousands lined the streets to watch the action in the arena and
on video screens around Broadway and Seventh Avenue. The “Built Ford Tough

$100 million milestone reached in Nashville [2010]
The PBR surpassed $100 million in prize money awarded in 2010 at the Jack
Daniel’s Invitational in Nashville, Tenn. Before the PBR was formed in 1992, topranked bull riders might have earned $100,000 in a season, with no rider reaching
$1 million during his entire career, including eight-time world champion Donnie

PBR RECORDS & STATISTICS
1996 REGULAR SEASON
Ties are indicated by a “T”.
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.
