PBR New Stories

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. 18, 2008] To be the best, you have to compete with the best. That was the mindset with both Guilherme Marchi and stock contractor Chad Berger this past weekend at the Portland Invitational.

Rules of engagement
[Mar. 14, 2008] Sometimes you can perfect yourself right out of being perfect. Just ask Chad Denton. That's apparently what happened two weeks ago in Baltimore, when Denton was disqualified in Round 1 for taking excessive time in the bucking chute.

[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.

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

Meet me in St. Louis
[Feb. 20, 2008] Personally and professionally, Matt Bohon is the most comfortable when he's at home in Missouri.

The 24-year-old bull rider is no doubt feeling a little more relaxed about this weekend's Built Ford Tough Series event in St. Louis. After all, last year, he was the only cowboy to cover all four of his bulls in winning the Enterprise Rent-A-Car Classic.

What makes a bull rider?
[Feb. 14, 2008] Some kids play video games. Others read books or play sports or watch TV. Justin McBride rode animals. Didn't matter what it was either. Family dog. Shetland pony. Little calves. Dwarf bulls...Years later, the only thing that's changed is the size of the animal.
