Each year one of the largest events in the Midwest is the American Royal. On October 20th and 21st the main event was a PBR Enterprise Tour event. This event was full of Rodeo Attitude Members. Not only riders but bulls. We were proud to announce our newest member, Tough Company Rodeo Bulls had two of their bulls competing all the way from Towner, Colorado, Riders that competed included 2004 PRCA World Champion Bull Rider, Dustin Elliott, along with Missouri's own Willy Ropp. Willy who made several appearance on the BFTS tour is back riding strong after an injury earlier this year. We had asked Willy to take a close look at Tough Company Rodeo Bulls Big Sexy and report back to us on the ride. Well, Willy took a close look. Almost too close. Willy drew Big Sexy and ended his ride by going over the top of the bull almost "kissing" the bull. We all shared a laugh when I told him I wanted a close up look but not quite that close! Willy was impressed with the bull, Willy will be competing in the ABBI Classic in Las Vegas October 30 and 31st. Once again we asked him to give us an opinion on a bull of one of our members, Vortex, owned by member Bryan Smith. You guessed it. Just got the draw and Willy will give us another close up look at the bull-he drew him!
Reults from the PBR section of the American Royal are:
1st Rob Bell 87
2nd Rufon Wright 86
3rd Matt Werries 79
