CAN BULLS FLY?: This weekend, the PBR’s elite Unleash The Beast heads to Wichita, Kansas, for the fourth event of the 24-event 2025 individual season, marking the third time in history the premier series has traveled to Wichita and the first time since 2011 the top tour has visited the Air Capital of the World. INTRUST Bank Arena will host the PBR for two days of action on Friday, December 13, at 7:45 p.m. CT, and Saturday, December 14, at 7:45 p.m. CT.
CRIMBER CRUISES TO SECOND WIN, BOLSTERS HOLD ON NO. 1: 19-year-old John Crimber went a perfect 3-for-3, including two 90-point rides, to take home his second event buckle in just three events last weekend in St. Louis, Missouri. Bouncing back from a rare shutout in Ontario, California, the previous weekend, Crimber finished fourth in the opening round after covering Mighty Mike for 89.25 points.
Now in a groove, the 2024 PBR Teams MVP for the Florida Freedom on the separate PBR Camping World Team Series roared out of the chutes on Whiskey Trip for 91.25 points to win the round and take the lead heading into the championship round. With his pick of the pen, Crimber chose UTZ BesTex Smokestack as his final animal athlete opponent. After steadying himself, the young phenom gave the nod and stormed out of the gate, sitting tall for an incredible, round-winning, event-high, walk-off 91.5-point performance. His monstrous final ride was his third 90-point ride of the young season, the most by any rider on the elite Unleash The Beast tour, and his event win netted him 154 Unleash The Beast points. With the victory, Crimber now holds a 132-point lead over No. 2 Dalton Kasel heading into competition this weekend. Crimber takes on Sometimes I Fly, whom he rode for 87.25 points in Tucson, Arizona, last month, in Round 1 on Friday.
