Bull Riding Legend John Crimber Takes a Backseat to Celebrate Father?s Legacy

The bull riding world has seen a lot of riders come and go. Very few are able to create a legacy, and one of them is John Crimber?s father. He was an exceptional bull rider, making it to the PBR world finals 10 times. While Paulo Crimber has retired, his son John Crimber is just starting out. Unsurprisingly, Crimber has been making several heads turn his way.

John Crimber is an 18-year-old bull-riding prodigy, determined to uphold his father’s legacy and carve out his own. He has been impressive in his short career as of now. After dominant performances at his Unleash The Beast debut a few days ago, the rookie has now paid tribute to his father in the latest Instagram story.

Rookie pays tribute to legendary bull-riding father

Owing to his father’s bull-riding legacy, Crimber recently paid tribute to his father in his latest Instagram story after another stellar performance in an impressive UTB debut. Expressing his love and gratitude towards his father, Crimber shared a reel of him on his Instagram story. The reel has a typical tribute background music, and his father, Paulo, can be seen flaunting his bull riding and dancing skills in front of a huge crowd.

Paulo surely has been John’s mentor over the years, both in life as well as in rodeo. While his father has carved a legacy for himself, he has done his part to ensure Crimber can carry on that legacy. After a stellar high school career, Crimber is surely headed toward replicating the same, as he highly impressed the rodeo enthusiasts in his PBR Unleash The Beast event.

John Crimber’s impressive UTB debut

John made his PBR debut in August at the PBR Challenger Series. Although he was placed third, he impressed everyone with his performance. Later in October, the 18-year-old finally got his hand at a top-flight victory in the Canada Cup Series with a 91.5 score. Unfortunately, he couldn’t make it to the National Finals. He, however, did salvage that with a stellar performance at the Unleash The Beast event.
