Once again the Extreme Bullriding Tour presented by RodeoAttitude.com will kick off its new season at the Lancaster Event Center in Lincoln, Nebraska. The bull riding will begin at 7:30 PM on Friday, January 2nd for two nights of top notched family entertainment! Last year’s Lancaster Event Center Saddle Series Champion and the last event at Lancaster’s champion, Skeeter Kingsolver, has already confirmed he will be competing (all appearances are based on no injuries prior to event). Skeeter is no stranger to the winner’s circle acquiring many titles in his short career. Skeeter is currently competing on the Professional Bull Riders (PBR) tours and on track to qualify for their prestigious Built Ford Tough Series, often referred to as the Cup Series, which is televised weekly. Skeeter has added his name to a long list of riders who have used the Extreme Bullriding Tour as a stepping stone to the Professional Bull Riders and the Professional Rodeo Cowboy Association. Many of these men enjoy competing at this level of competition to improve their skills on the top quality bulls of Double S Bull Company.
Skeeter’s traveling partner, Dusty LaBeth who was the reserve champion at the last event at the Lancaster Event Center will also be back to defend his title. Dusty is a three-time qualifier for the biggest event in bull riding – the annual PBR World Finals in Las Vegas. These are just two of the top bull riders from the Midwest that will be on hand to entertain the fans any of which might someday follow in Oregon native and now hailing from Nebraska and former Extreme Tour Champion, Dustin Elliott’s footsteps to a PRCA world championship and now a regular on the PBR Built Ford Tough Series!
Nicknamed “The Attack Pack”, the bulls of the Double S Bull Company, owned by Shad and Vicki Smith, Sidney, Iowa, have earned their owners numerous awards including 9 times Stock Contractor of the Year for the Bullriders of America. Don’t tell the bulls their not the stars of the show. 07 Blue Duck is a former Bull of the Year and 328 Sea Bass is the reigning Bull of the Year for the BOA and Mood Swing is a former Bull of Year for the PRCA Prairie Circuit. With all their awards and trips to various finals plus the pampering they get the bulls have their own opinion as to who the stars are! There is no doubt when the gate opens they know what to do and they do it in high kicking style.
The Lancaster Event Center’s June Extreme Bullriding was voted by the Bullriders Of America as the New Event of the Year and the Indoor Event of the Year for 2008 and the folks at the center are ready to show the fans why they won the award.
