It's Lostroh
Colorado cowboy caps banner season with first world title
LAS VEGAS Nov 08, 2009 – Nearly all season long, Kody Lostroh had his doubters, and for every question, he answered the best way he possibly could – by winning.
There are no doubters now as the 24-year-old Lostroh clinched the Professional Bull Riders World Championship on Sunday.
“It’s really a dream come true for me,” said Lostroh, of Longmont, Colo., who entered the World Finals in first place in the Built Ford Tough Series World Standings, the season-long points race tha — (More).
History maker
Mauney falls short of world title but becomes first to ride all eight Finals bulls
LAS VEGAS Nov 09, 2009 – J.B. Mauney began his illustrious career with three main goals: win the Professional Bull Riders rookie title, clinch the World Finals average championship and snare a world buckle.
It’s two down and one to go.
Mauney, who won the PBR’ s rookie title in 2006, accomplished Goal No. 2 by winning the 2009 World Finals’ coveted average title.
And the Mooresville, N.C., cowboy did it in dramatic fashion by becoming the first cowboy ever to stay on al — (More).
Better luck next year
PBR's most consistent rider ever puts a forgettable Finals behind him
LAS VEGAS Nov 09, 2009 – Last year’s World Champion didn’t exactly leave Las Vegas empty-handed.
After making the whistle for just the second time in seven rounds, Guilherme Marchi stopped a few feet short of the Hall of Champions as he exited the Thomas & Mack Center arena.
He bent down, grabbed a handful of cash and stuffed it into the right hand pocket of his protective vest.
Unfortunately, it was worthless “play money” that had fallen from the rafters abov — (More).
Uncracked Code
Still unridden, Code Blue takes World Champion Bull title
LAS VEGAS Nov 09, 2009 – Cody Nance thought he could crack Code Blue.
When it came Nance’s time to handpick the bull he would face during the Round 5 draft last weekend at the Professional Bull Riders World Finals, the PBR’s top rookie believed he had the right combination to become the first cowboy to stay on the notorious bucking bull.
“I would have won the round if I had ridden him,” said Nance, who was bucked off of Code Blue in 4.3 seconds on Friday night. “But I — (More).
A new kind of pressure
Lostroh handles winning the same as competing with quiet grace and a smile
LAS VEGAS Nov 10, 2009 – It was a chaotic scene behind the chutes, as in-arena announcer Clint Adkins announced Kody Lostroh as the 2009 World Champion.
Known for controlling his emotions, Kody Lostroh got “lost in the moment” for about five minutes.
Sure, he had won a $1 million dollars and the coveted gold buckle, but finally after 10 months of grinding it out on the Built Ford Tough Series and another 10 days in Las Vegas for the PBR World Finals, he could relax.

Chicken dancer
Jones goes 11 years between Finals
LAS VEGAS Nov 08, 2009 – Sure, five guys tied for first in Saturday’s sixth round of the World Finals. But none of them did the chicken dance.
The chart-toppers left the fowl gyrations to Ben Jones. You can’t blame the 30-year-old from Down Under. It’s been 11 years since he did his signature dance in Sin City.
After Jones’ first five rides at World Finals XVI resulted in zeroes, he just collected his bull rope and trudged back to the exit gate. On Friday, he and Hammered ( — (More).
