The Extreme Bullriding Tour stop in Atlantic, Iowa, has a reputation - a very good reputation.  With a capacity of close to 5000 the stands are traditionally full so it was no wonder that at 4:30 PM, three hours before the event started, there were already 200 people in the stands.  By starting time it was hard to find even a place to stand!  The bullriders of the National Federation of Professional Bullriders (NFPB) and the Bullriders of America (BOA), the two sanctioning bodies of the event, felt the electricity in the crowd and gave them their best.  Even the bulls seemed to understand it was "show time" and put forth that extra effort to give the riders an extra challenge.  In the end two men Josh Ehlers and Travis Van Larr tied for first with 87 points and checks for $927.16.  

At each event a bull is selected as the Bull of the Event.  50 Smart Mouth earned this honor when he made fast work of putting his rider on the arena floor.  The bulls of the Double S Bull Company "Attack Pack" owned by Shad and Vicki Smith of Sidney, Iowa, continue to do their best to convince their audiences that they are the real "stars" of the show.

One of the much anticipated portions of each year's events is the "Wild Cow Ride" and fans were not disappointed with this year's version.  With local talent showing off their skills the fans cheered and applauded their efforts.

Two other highlights of the night were the Junior Bullriding won by John Young and the Midwest Bullfighting competition won by Cory Griebel.

Earlier in the day Extreme Bullriding Tour marketing director, Jennifer McDonald, was injured in a car accident and the entire Extreme Team wishes her a speedy recovery.  Jennifer is also the mother of Extreme Princess, Abby McDonald, who also missed this event because of her mother's accident.  Abby normally does a 50/50 drawing for the benefit of the Susan G. Komen Foundation.  In her absence the drawing was conducted by Miss NFPB 2009, Rachel Burton, and Miss Extreme Bullriding, Anna Hillsback, in honor of Abby and her commitment to this cause.

The combination of announcer, Chris Pyle and funnyman Allan Dessel was once again an explosive combination that mixed with great bullriding had filled the night with explosive excitement and entertainment that will last in fans memories for a long time.
