John Crimber has been very earnestly climbing the bull riding ladder to the pinnacle ever since his debut. Mid-August, as soon as he turned 18, Crimber made his PBR and PBR Challenger Series debut at the event in Goliad, Texas; placing a well-intended third. After a week, the youngster started his winning streak to earn not just 9 of the 14 Challenger Series wins but also to be called ?That?s the greatest 18-year-old bull rider on the planet Earth right now.”
Interestingly, this rising ‘Teenage Phenomenon’ holds an association with the sport dating years before his debut. Paulo Crimber, the Brazilian bull-riding veteran, has held a long presence in the industry. However, with his retirement from performances, the rider left behind the passion instilled in the rising star for the industry; marking an ultimate father-son duo.
