PBR New Stories

Five minutes with... Kody Lostroh
[Mar. 20, 2008] He was the 2005 PBR Rookie of the Year, and he had an outstanding effort in both the 2006 and 2007 PBR Built Ford Tough World Finals. This year, however, 22-year-old Kody Lostroh is determined to ride as well over the course of an entire season as he has amidst the glitz and glamour of Las Vegas.

The Magic Show
[Mar. 19, 2008] Don't let the name fool you. There's no hocus pocus involved when it comes to White Magic. He's as real as they come. Just ask 20 of the last cowboys who have attempted to ride him.

Dynamic Duo

[Mar. 14, 2008] The Professional Bull Riders invade the Pacific Northwest this weekend with a pair of events on the 34-city Built Ford Tough Series Tour.

[Mar. 10, 2008] There's nobody riding on the Professional Bull Riders' premier tour hotter than Brazilian Guilherme Marchi.

Chicken on a Chain is a powerhouse
[Mar. 5, 2008] At close to 1,900 pounds, it would be an understatement to call him big. But it would be wrong to think that Chicken on a Chain isn’t fast. The 2007 PBR World Champion Bull is a throwback to the old style of bucking bull, when they were brawny, muscular animals with big horns and equal measures of speed and power.

Local cowboy returns as bull-riding ironman
[Mar. 5, 2008] Although he is not from the dusty plains of Texas, Luke Snyder is still very much a cowboy. The Raymore native is part of the Pro Bull Riders tour that comes to the Sprint Center Saturday and Sunday.

Rodeo event won’t be back to Reno
[Mar. 5, 2008] Reno’s long involvement with the Professional Bull Riders is coming to an end. The city has been a stop on the PBR’s elite Built Ford Tough Series tour since 1995, but the tour won't be coming back this year or the foreseeable future, said Randy Bernard, the PBR's chief operating officer.

Brendon Clark takes life 8 seconds at a time
[Mar. 1, 2008] Brendon Clark first got onto a calf when he was 6 years old, and in 21 years as a bull rider, there is one thing that has become clear to the 5-foot 8, 155-pound Australian.

BRETT HOFFMAN: Williams in right place at right time
[Feb. 26, 2008] Clayton Williams is a 22-year-old bull rider who has earned $740,000 by winning just two bull riding shows.

Unbelievable!

Rodeo cowboys just don’t earn that kind of money. That’s the kind of money pro athletes rake in for driving a race car 500 miles, sinking a putt or hitting a baseball.

Can Briscoe hold the lead?
[Feb. 21, 2008] Travis Briscoe had about the best start to a season any rider could ask for.
