Local favorite comes away with Xtreme Bulls win
[Jan. 31, 2010] RAPID CITY, S.D. --- Talk about an underdog. Clay Hindman wasn’t even supposed to compete at the Xtreme Bulls event in Rapid City, held in conjunction with the Black Hills Stock Show Rodeo.

He was admittedly “way down” on the list of qualifiers, but it so happened that the PRCA called him this week to see if he wanted to fill in for someone. So the South Dakota bull rider pinned his back number on with pro bull riding stars such as Steve Woolsey, Kanin Asay and Bobby Welsh – and
promptly took their money. By Julie Mankin, for the Black Hills Stock Show

Hindman’s first-round win thrills homestate crowd
[Jan. 30, 2010] RAPID CITY, S.D. --- The PRCA Seminole Hard Rock Xtreme Bulls Tour, presented by B&W Trailer Hitches, hit the ground running in Rapid City on Friday night, returning to the Black Hills Stock Show for the fourth straight year.

In a star-studded field of the world’s best bull riders, which included 2007 PRCA world champion Wesley Silcox, defending Rapid City Xtreme Bulls champ Bobby Welsh and nine other recent Wrangler NFR bull riders, Belvidere’s Clay Hindman couldn’t have planned his draw any better. Hindman had quietly been making a name for himself in late 2009, scoring 89 points last fall and hitting 90 at a rodeo in Elk City on Buetler & Son’s famed bull Tokyo Drift.
