Letter from the Editor
I know you’ve heard this before but one of the greatest things about rodeo and bull riding is the people you meet along the way. It really is one big family and a pretty darn good one at that. When I was in high school, my girlfriend who is now my lovely wife, claims that all of our dates were spent going to rodeos. I can’t really disagree with her on that the point but, from my perspective, I didn’t think there was anything wrong with that! There were some rodeos with a new twist back then that we loved to go no matter where they were being held. That was my introduction to Bad Company Rodeo. I loved the rock and roll, the upbeat tempo of the production, and just the fun atmosphere. I can remember Smurf Horton riding a bull while drinking a beer, riding a bull while facing backwards with his legs wrapped
around the horns, and so much more. We had a chance to catch up with Mack Altizer, the man behind Bad Company Rodeo, recently after his induction into The Bull Riding Hall of Fame. We hope you enjoy getting to learn more about this trailblazer who definitely had an impact on the sport of rodeo. I also want to encourage you to check out this month’s Western Wanderings where Kelly Robbins has written a great poem to commemorate the historical ride of Jose Vitor Leme and Woopaa for 97.75 points in Tulsa, Oklahoma. We hope you enjoy this issue of Humps N Horns! Until next time, Terry

Talking “Bull” with Brayden
Hi my name is Brayden Hollywood Brown and I’m a miniature bull rider. Today I’m going to be talking to you about the new highest score in PBR history. So let’s get into it.
since Bushwacker bucked off Ben Jones back in 2013. I am still watching the ride and it’s so good that it blows my mind and I get chills everytime.
When I first looked at the draw it looked pretty solid. I liked the bulls more than the riders in most of the matchups as you would expect in a 15/15 Bucking Battle. Then whenever I got down to the bottom of the draw sheet I saw a matchup that I knew all the rider had to do was ride his bull. It was a matchup made in heaven. Jose Vitor Leme had drawn the world number one bull, Woopaa, for the third time in his career.
Thanks for reading. To find out more about me all of my social medias are Brayden Hollywood Brown. Thank you, Brayden Hollywood Brown
I don’t think that anyone out there would disagree with me, all Jose had to do was ride and he would win the 15/15. Now, I have to admit, after Jose bucked off in round number one he kind of scared me a little but, you have to remember Leme had been on this bull twice already both times for big points. The odds were clearly in his favor. The Bucking Battle went as I thought it would, there were a lot of buckoffs. There were only two qualified rides. The first was the world number three, Cooper Davis, who was 90.75 points on Born To Sin. The other was, none other than the current world number one, Jose Vitor Leme. I knew Jose was going to be the round winner if he rode. Cooper Davis’s 90.75 points was a high score but there was a lot of talent in this matchup between Jose on Woopaa. When the gate opened Jose was sitting amazing with his toes turned out and Woopaa was kicking up over his head with a wicked belly roll. Everything about the ride was perfect. How could it not be big points? The judges agreed, they had just witnessed the new best ride in PBR history. I’m not sure words can do justice in describing this 97.75 point bull ride. This was by far Jose and Woopaa’s best day by a mile, a 48 point bull score and a 49.75 point rider score. Leme’s rider score was a quarter point off of perfection and Woopaa’s 48 point bull score is the highest bull score

You Are Worthy Sometimes the impact of someone’s life on the world is not fully realized or appreciated until they’re gone. Since my son Aaron left the world in 2011, I’ve been able to recognize some of the impact his life had on people because he simply knew his worth and walked in it with ease. You may not know what kind of impact your life has on the world but let me assure you that you’re very very important to those around you. Aaron was unique in who he was but not unique to humanity. We all have virtues that will impact other people’s lives for The Father’s kingdom. Because of the Father’s love for humanity and His value for each of us, we have been given the gift of being allowed to take part in His Kingdom. We are often told that we aren’t worthy of His Love or His Kingdom. It’s a lie and if we don’t really understand the depth of His Love we will just accept
that we aren’t worthy without thinking twice about it. I say we are worthy of His Love, but it’s all because His character is to have relationship with each of us. You are worthy and don’t let anyone tell you that you aren’t, just remember that it’s all on Him as to why you are worthy and not on you at all. He would not have gone to the extreme of sending His Son (JESUS) into the world to prove His desire for us to be included in His Kingdom if He didn’t think we were worthy. Relax in His Grace, be confident in His heart toward you, Rest in His Peace and Love!!!!! Jesus Loves You, Cody Custer

Outside the Arena with...
Kody Lostroh By Georgia Akers My column is called “Outside the Arena”. I try to concentrate on persons who are not riders but are involved in the sport. But I also want to recognize those riders who still give to the sport and check in on what they are doing. One of these is Kody Lostroh, one of our PBR World Champions (2009). His determination is to be admired and his commitment to the sport continues with his volunteering to raise funds through the Western Sports Foundation as well as being part of the team that puts on seminars for riders. They listen to him and respect him because he has been where they are. He has retired and moved on but continues to be an asset supporting the sport. He is Co-Chair on the Athlete Advisory Committee of the Western Sports Foundation and is also a Board member of the Western Sports Foundation and has taken a very active role. We are fortunate to have riders such as Kody giving back to the sport. He is one of the really good men. Tell us about yourself. I grew up in Longmont, CO as a typical young boy. I was always exploring and going on adventures anywhere I could find them. Somehow when I was 7 (1992), I got a VHS tape of Cheyenne Frontier Days from the year that Lane Frost was killed. The bull riding fascinated me and I would watch that tape over and over
every day. Finally, my mom asked if I wanted to ride a steer at our county fair. I had no idea what I was doing but I was hooked after that first ride! My dad and mom and relatives took turns taking me to different rodeos after that until I was old enough to go with friends or drive myself. That love of the sport never faded and I was very fortunate and blessed to be able to chase my dreams from then on. Fast forward to 2006 and I married my high school sweetheart, Candace here in Colorado. We have been together since we were 16 and got to celebrate 15 years of marriage this year. We met at youth rodeos. Candace continued to compete in barrel racing throughout our early marriage until the birth of our second child. We have two beautiful daughters named Sheridan and Odessa ages 9 and 7. They keep us on our toes with all the things they enjoy doing. Both do Brazilian Jujitsu which they love and both also compete in youth rodeo which they love just as much. Our family currently lives on a ranch in Ault, CO that we started building in 2012. The building never ends but it has come to be a home and ranch that we are grateful to live on. From riding horses to bucking bulls to hunting and everything in between, there is never a shortage of things to do or get done. It truly is what I always dreamed of putting together some day. You began riding bulls as a very young age. What made you select bull riding as opposed to other western sports? When I was young, I tried a few sports but was always drawn to the one-on-one type of competitions. Once

is what makes him my favorite. He was named by Julio Moreno and Cindy Rosser’s son, Mikel Moreno. Mikel was a great young kid who unfortunately left this world way too early but I had gotten to know him and was inspired by his toughness and grit. Troubadour was by all accounts his bull and that bull helped me to accomplish a dream of winning a world title. So, in a way, Mikel helped me too. That puts his bull at the top of my favorite list. While on the circuit you had some pretty serious injuries and some health issues but you came back. What drew you back into the game? Serious injuries come with the sport if a guy is going to play the game for any length of time. I cannot complain about getting hurt any more than the next guy, but unfortunately injuries kind of derailed my plans towards the end of my career. Then a totally non-sport related issue arose from a tumor in my neck that kept me fighting just to lead a normal life again for a few years. But the thing that always drew me back to the game is that same love of the challenge and excitement that comes with it. It is one of the hardest things to consistently do at a high level. A competitor always wants to push the limits to improve and succeed. I guess I I got on my first steer, I was just in love with the challenge and am not sure we ever grow out of that! excitement. The other western sports events just did not give me What was your first reaction to winning the World Championship the same level of adrenaline as riding bulls did. in 2009? What was it like to be on the circuit with the PBR? Honestly, my first reaction to winning the world championship Riding in the PBR was a childhood dream come true. I would was confusion. I had gotten so focused on riding each bull all watch it on tv for years so to be able to compete was somewhat year and all during the finals, that when it was finally over, I still surreal for a while. It truly is where the toughest competition and felt like I had to ride more bulls. I would never let myself think the biggest payouts were. And traveling around the country with any further ahead than the one bull I was getting on at that time. I my best friends while we did what we loved to do is an absolute did this all year, so it took a minute to get out of that zone and tell dream job. Don’t get me wrong, there is still ups and downs and myself okay this is for real and it is over. But after that there was challenges along the way, but getting to live that life of freedom and fun is something that you do not realize how special and short that part of a career is until it is over. Who were your closest friends? My best friend who I rode with and traveled with since we were 14 is Josh Koschel. He was a bull riding son of a gun and went to the PBR finals and NFR several times. But there were lots of guys we traveled with as well that became close lifelong friends such as Dustin Elliott, Dusty La Beth, Corey Navarre, Jordan Hupp, Cord McCoy, Wiley Peterson and Chad Denton. One other really close friend that I saw every weekend, even though he wasn’t a competitor, was Todd Pierce. He was the pastor of Riding High Ministries that came to nearly all events to support riders and fans spiritually. Todd is just like one of the guys and we all had a lot of good times. Favorite bulls? That is a tough question. I have had a lot over the years but my top favorite would probably be Troubadour. We had a lot of success together in the arena but the sentimental part of that relationship

so much media and interviews and stuff going on that it did not really sink in until the next day that I had accomplished a goal that every bull rider dreams of. Thankful is the best word to describe it. Thankful that God gave me the opportunity and ability to do what I loved to do. What made you decide to retire in 2018? The decision to retire was a tough one. The health problem with the tumor totally turned my life upside down starting in the spring of 2015. When I finally felt like I could ride again in 2018, I was tearing up my body on almost every bull I got on. The last bull I got on before deciding to retire was the deal breaker. He was just a good bull and I was riding him perfect. The bicep on my riding arm tore off the bone during the ride. That obviously led to yet another surgery on that arm which at that point had been operated on multiple times and did not have the same range of motion that it should. I decided if my body would not hold up anymore, then I was not going to keep entering. You retired but you didn’t. Are you still riding bulls? How have you stayed involved in the sport? I am most definitely still retired but I did recently start getting on a few bulls again. I just felt like getting on one and it has turned into getting on a few more. It has been lots of fun and to be honest I have been somewhat surprised at how my riding arm has felt. It actually feels better now than it did for years at the end of my career. As far as staying involved in the sport, I raise competition bulls so I am always around different events. The Western Sports Foundation is another thing that keeps me connected to not only bull riding but rodeo as well. WSF helps western sports athletes not only when they are injured but in tons of other aspects of life and competition and I really think it is extremely beneficial to all rodeo athletes. What do you like to do to relax? Relaxing to me is probably a bit different than most people. I love to hunt and if I am not doing something with bulls then most likely I will be hunting. It is not about killing at all but it is about being out in the wild country that God created and challenging myself in that environment. It feels like home there. Is it physically relaxing? No. But mentally, that is where I go to relax. What other activities are you involved in? Other activities are obviously whatever my kids happen to be into
at the time. But besides raising bulls I also guide hunters in the winter and do some metal fabrication work during the summer. Helping other bull riders has started to become a more common activity as well whether it is teaching a school, helping with various events or simply just having guys over to train not only physically but talk about other secrets to success mentally. I understand you are raising bucking bulls. What bloodlines have you used for your herd? Why? My bucking bull breeding program started in 2006 and has slowly grown into something that has been doing pretty well. I have used bloodlines from most other successful breeders to get my program to where it is. Dillion and HD Page, Don Kish, Alex Naccarrato, and the old Plummer genetics. But the backbone of my herd is a cow named Party Girl who I am very fortunate to have won. Her dam was MS0 who Monty Samford owned and that cow was an amazing producer. If Monty had not have done what he did with MS0, I may not ever have gotten Party Girl. I think Monty had as big of influence on my breeding program as anyone. If a young person approached you about being a bull rider, what advice would you give them? When young people ask for advice about riding bulls, there are just a few things I think they need to carve in stone, and here they are: 1. There are no shortcuts and no substitute for hard work. If you work hard, you can be as good as you want to be. Talent only gets you so far. Hard work gets you all the way. 2. It is a simple sport so do not over complicate it. The fundamentals will ride any bull. Typically, the guy with the most solid foundation of fundamentals is the guy that wins the most. So, practice until those fundamentals are engrained in your mind and body that they become part of who you are. 3. The only two things you can control are your attitude and your effort. Anything other than those two things are out of your control so do not spend time stressing about it.

way. Remember who has called you and lean into His voice with every step. Allow friends to encourage and support you, but leave your life’s plan up to God.

When God Calls 23 they simply kept hearing: “He who formerly persecuted us now preaches the faith he once tried to destroy.” 24 And they glorified God because of me. Galatians 1:23-24 HCSB
I decided to take the Enneagram test a few years ago. The results were not shocking to me; I am a peacemaker. When a new decision or opportunity arises, I have a deep-seated instinct to share it with everyone that I know, and then try to somehow take everyone’s advice so that they are happy with my decision. I allow the words of people to either validate my decision or to make me feel like I’ve totally blown it. This can get really tricky when God is clearly calling me to something. I find boosts of energy to obey but can quickly deflate under the opinions of others. The biggest problem, however, is not my confusion, but in whom I am trusting, either myself or God. I am desperate to represent myself in the best light with the best plan that everyone will approve. God does not get the glory because, at times, I don’t bring Him into it. It didn’t take long reading Galatians for me to feel the weight of Paul’s choice to follow God. Paul was sent by God, not man. What matters most is the One who calls you, not who approves of your calling. Paul knew God sent him. Paul consulted God first, not man. Right after his life changing encounter with God, Paul spent time isolated, allowing God to shape his mission. How often do we isolate ourselves from others in the moment in order to hear what God wants? When we are in the decision-making process, we tend to be more vulnerable to being swayed from side to side. Remember, the advice of our friends and family may be helpful, but when God speaks we know we receive truth to fulfill His plans and purposes. Because Paul knew that God sent him and then chose to allow God to influence and mold the mission, others could see God in and through Paul. Imagine if Paul had been on the road to Damascus, met God, then went straight to his buddies and asked them what they thought he should do. How often do we do this? If God has called you, get in His presence and beg Him to lead the

JESSE PETRI LOOKS TO PBR ROOKIE TITLE AND BEYOND By Barbara Pinnella
Photos by Andy Watson / BullStock Media
Jesse Petri is making himself known in the PBR on the UTB tour. This personable 23-year-old has had a successful season thus far. As of this writing, he is sitting third in the Rookie of the Year title race and 18th in the World Standings. His bull riding began at a rodeo Bible camp when he was nine years old. He had always been around horses, but rode calves at the camp, and loved it from the first time he got on. “I’m originally from Florida,” he said. “I moved to Texas because I got a bull riding rodeo scholarship to a college there. I went for a year, but then stopped; I got so busy going to rodeos. I went to a lot of PRCA rodeos for a couple of years, and when I made my decision to go to the PBR I was seasoned, I guess you could say. I wasn’t just a high school kid going straight into the PBR.”
Jesse does not mean it is not possible for the younger kids to come right along. He acknowledged that two-time World Champion Jess Lockwood did just that. But he feels that a lot of others turn 18 and get their PBR card, only to get slammed over and over. That can be more than discouraging. Getting seasoned in some rodeos and getting in some short rounds and winning a check can certainly help before coming to what Jesse says is the ‘big stage.’ “The year before last I went to quite a few Velocity events and did pretty well. I think I stayed on at least one bull at every Velocity I went to. This year I made up my mind that I wanted to get on the UTB tour, so I went to Velocity events and got on tour pretty quickly. There is no looking back now.” Jesse feels that the atmosphere is the main difference between the PRCA and the PBR tours. “For the rodeos, you can kind of go wherever you want to. If you don’t want to go to a rodeo you can turn out of it. With the PBR, if you are on the UTB tour, you are entered to go to all of them unless you are hurt. They make it enjoyable for everybody, and that includes the crowd. “Sometimes at a rodeo it can get quite drawn out and people might get bored with it. But in the PBR, everybody can get into it, and it’s just a great atmosphere.” As you might be able to tell from his comments, Jesse is dedicated and focused on the PBR right now. While a lot of his friends do both the PRCA and PBR, he has his eyes set on one thing, particularly with the money that is available to win at the PBR events. He feels that he might as well just concentrate on that. Sometimes, though, the schedule of those UTB events can be a bit tough. “I like being home. My wife and I just bought a house in Dublin, Texas, so we are trying to get all set up over there. But it’s fun, because there are quite a lot of people that I know from the PBR

over there. J.B. isn’t too far from there, and Dalton Kasel and Colten Fritzlan. They all live right around that area, so it will be cool to get to hang out with them.” On the road, Jesse’s traveling partner is Chase Dougherty. They get along well, and he’s actually a rodeo guy also. Chase does currently go to some rodeos as well as PBR, but they are both looking at that Rookie of the Year title. Right now, Chase is in the lead with Jesse in third, but the numbers are close.
“This is definitely a juicy set of guys this year for that Rookie title. Sometimes it is a little easier, with some guys off tour, but this year there are some players in that Rookie race that can really ride, so it will be good watching.” Jesse already is looking into the future. He has his own custom saddle company, J. Petri Saddlery. “I sell really nice saddles to people that ride horses every single day, or rope, or rodeo, or just trail ride. I sell saddles to everyone

who rides a horse. They are custom made to whatever the client wants. That business is something that I want to definitely grow whenever I get settled down.
A custom saddle by J. Petri Saddlery
“It has already taken off from when I started it,” Jesse continued. “There are a lot of people who are really liking the saddles that are calling me and messaging me about them. I’m trying to pace it to where I don’t have to be a complete businessman 24-7, and I can still focus on my bull riding. It might get to where I end up hiring somebody while I am still riding bulls. And when I am done riding bulls, I’m gonna be ranching and riding some colts. My wife runs barrels, so we will both be involved in all that. We would eventually like to open a bigger saddle shop in Texas.” On their property that they just purchased in Dublin, they have a nice arena and barn and a lot of stalls. So it is already set up for horses. Jesse might also buy some roping steers and they will probably rope a bit during the week, and Jesse likes to keep a colt or two around to ride. That also helps keep him tuned up for bull riding. He has not escaped injuries in his career of choice; not many do. He has had three elbow surgeries, knee surgery, and suffered a lacerated liver. He also broke a rib. Some of these injuries have probably prevented him from making the NFR, but he continues to have a great attitude. “I believe that if you think about the right things while you are hurt, you will come back stronger. It is definitely a head game. But right now, I feel really good. My body feels healthy, and I feel
strong, mentally and physically.” Jesse wanted to remind others who have the dream of becoming a bull rider to follow that dream. “I always watched bull riding when I was a kid and you never really think that you can be there. But I know that any young bull rider that has the try and wants to, can do it.”

MACK ALTIZER In rodeo, as in most sports, champions earn awards. Most champions greatly impact their sport, because they work very hard to be better, and this brings growth and makes the sport better. The impact of this is that as the sport grows, revenue grows, the fan base grows, sponsorships increase, and more money is offered to the contestants. That is flat out a win-win situation for rodeo. The more money offered to contestants draws the bigger name contestants, which draws more fans to the events, which draws more sponsors, which results in more money for the contestants. And on it goes! Mack Altizer’s Bad Company Rodeo has impacted the growth of rodeo and bull riding for several decades. He has earned quite a few awards. He was the PRCA Stock Contractor of the Year in 1998. He was the Women’s Professional Rodeo Association Stock Contractor of the Year in 1994 and 2000, and the Professional Women’s Rodeo Association Stock Contractor of the Year in 1999. He is a member of the Texas Cowboy Hall of Fame.
excitement and change that revolutionized and revitalized the sport. In May of this year, Mack and his Bad Company Rodeo were inducted into The Bull Riding Hall of Fame in Fort Worth. “That was a good deal,” Mack said. “It was shocking really. It was unexpected, and it was never something I set out to do. But so many changes in bull riding developed off of what we did!” Mack grew up with a rope in his hand. He is the son of the late Jim Bob Altizer, a Hall of Fame match roper considered by many to be one of the greatest of all time. Mack competed in the American Junior Rodeo Association and the National Intercollegiate Rodeo Association. His senior year of high school, he won the National High School Calf Roping championship in Sulphur Springs, Louisiana.
Mack received the Jim Shoulders Lifetime Achievement Award at the 2019 PBR Heroes and Legends Celebration in Las Vegas at the PBR Finals. Mack has always had a love for excitement and change. His innovative ideas brought highenergy rock and roll, and new-fangled marketing strategies to bull riding and rodeo. This brought

giving us input. Chuck Lambert, Chuck Kenny, and Roach Hedeman helped out too.” “Dave Jennings took all our photos,” Mack added. “Boyd Polhamus was our announcer for many years. Benje Bendele worked our sound board. We were the first to have more than two bull fighters in the arena. World Champion Bullfighter Mike ‘SMURF’ Horton was with us for many years. Harry Vold helped us produce some of our college rodeos early on. I got some of his older horses. Everything just always kind of fell into place. The whole deal was a wild west story!” “We started buying practice stock and going to the sale barns to check out all the bulls,” Mack revealed. “We bought all the good-looking bulls we could get our hands on. At one point we had a group of NFR type bucking bulls that we called the Dirty Dozen. Bull riders had a chance to win first place on any one of these bulls. This really helped draw the more experienced bull riders to our events.”
Mack admits that money was the motivation to start Bad Company Rodeo back in 1981. As a rodeo competitor, Mack soon realized that he was spending a lot more money than he was taking in. He knew that the only way to keep on rodeoing was to get more money coming in to rodeo.
Then Mack decided to breathe some new life into his productions. “We started naming all our bulls after rock and roll songs. Songs like Wild Thing, Superstition, Wooly Booley, Crocodile Rock, and Bad to the Bone. When that bull was in the chute waiting for the cowboy to climb aboard, we would play the song that was the name of that bull over the loudspeakers! The fans loved it, and it brought a new level
Mack rodeoed with a rowdy bunch of cowboys. They liked fun and excitement and rock and roll music. “My favorite group at that time was Bad Company. So I named the company Bad Company Rodeo. I had a whole group of guys that helped me start out. Casey Duggan (Now Director of Rodeo Operations and Administration at the WCRA, the World Champions Rodeo Alliance) came to my home in Del Rio to help put stuff together. Cody Lambert was instrumental in L to R- Chuck Kinney, Smurf Horton, Roach Hedeman, Tony Johnson.

of excitement and entertainment to the sport. It really motivated the fans and gave them more of a concert experience.” “This was also a new way to market our events,” Mack disclosed. “The music was a key because the bulls were named after the songs, and the fans stood and danced and clapped while the bull riders were getting set to ride. This not only drew more fans, but it drew some bigger-name bull riders like Jim Sharp, Cody Lambert, and Tuff Hedeman, and that drew new sponsors. We wanted to get the rock and rollers interested in the rodeo, not just the country music loving folks. At first, many folks said we were the guys that were too loud. But it really caught on fast. Our fan base grew, and we were able to offer more money as we watched the changes we were making impact the sport.” “At first, a lot of producers tried to copy us,” Mack said. “But they didn’t have the quality caliber of bulls and did not really succeed. We learned as we went. Most everything we did caught on, and it really seemed to improve the rodeo and bull riding experience for everyone involved. As we were successful, folks started copying us. The PBR really helped the whole deal too. They upgraded the bull herds, the personnel, the bull fighters, the prize money and the judging. RFD-TV has been instrumental in helping the sport to grow, too.” Bad Company Rodeo has a short video tribute on their Facebook that was taken at the 2019 Jim Shoulders Lifetime Achievement Awards program. Nine-time World Champion Cowboy and CBS Commentator Ty Murray said, “The production all the way around in both rodeo and the PBR is way better now because of the foundation that Mack Altizer was innovative enough to lay for it.”
Rodeo, said: “Mack Altizer changed the rodeo world forever with his vision of putting on the rodeo that we wanted to see. He modernized the sport with attention to production and music, as well as having superior stock for all events (not just rough stock). Contestants could win on anything they drew and the crowd was treated to a rodeo like they had never seen before. It was absolutely the best time in the world, and I was proud to be a part of it!”
In that same video tribute, Cody Lambert, the PBR Livestock Director, offered, “The rodeos that he put on were better because they were Bad Company Rodeos. It didn’t matter which event you were in, you had a competitive opportunity. He’d get the best stock, he’d get the best cowboys, and then they had a successful rodeo. He made sure they always had more money next year.” Dave Jennings, long-time photographer for Bad Company Humps-Horns.com · 21 · September 2021

Western Wanderings pbr history is made The Tulsa crowd was pumped and ready To sit back and enjoy the show The 15/15 Bucking Battle was on The riders and bulls set to go
As Leme climbed on that number one bull The crowd wildly cheered his name But no one was ready for what came next As they battled their way to fame
Tulsa’s atmosphere was charged and electric With top bulls bucking here this night Flint Rasmussen finished one of his jokes And it was time to begin the fight!
The boys ‘hind the chute could hardly speak As these warriors continued the fight And when the eight-second buzzer had blown They knew history was rewritten that night
Jesse Petri climbed on McCoy’s Ridin’ Solo But he wasn’t up to the test Then one by one the bulls took them down Silvano, JR, Teel and the rest
When the dust and the froth had all settled And the four judges totaled the score The crowd in the stands went crazy wild Cause the old record stood no more
Then Coop Davis straddled Born to Sin His talent just can’t be denied He hung on strong and lasted him out And had a 90.75-point ride
Jose’s 97.75 points a new record The PBR’s highest marked ride ever scored And Woopaa’s 48 was a huge score as well Fans can’t ask for anything more!
Coop might have gone away with the win But here history left nothing to chance Numbers one Jose Vitor and Woopaa Had not yet begun their dance By Kelly B. Robbins
