Last week, the 2024 PBR Championship Saturday opened with a riveting performance by the once-in-a-generation bull riding talent John Crimber. Ending the day on a victorious note the teen bull rider claimed the top spot on the event leaderboard at the U.S. Border Patrol PBR Jacksonville.

The flawless 3-for-3 gave a run for money to the veterans in the dirt ground, as if his father, Paulo Crimber, freshly lent him down the strategy ahead of the match. After taking the early lead in the Beast event to remain off the battlefield, Crimber shared some helpful behind-the-scenes training techniques in a recent interview.

While the Unleash The Beast events are underway, John Crimber spoke candidly about his practice routine in an episode of According To Flint, posted on YouTube and hosted by the charming Flint Rasmussen. Flint asked, “how often a guy that’s on you’re on the elite tour of the PBR you’re getting on great Bulls every week how often do you get on practice bow.” 

Crimber replied, “I get on practice bows every week at least one time a week….usually on Wednesdays because you know we get home Sunday or Monday.” With an incredible 87-point ride on Flatliner, Crimber tied for the Round 1 victory early in the Unleash The Beast competition.
