Bull riding of legends

For PBR enthusiasts and those new to the sport, the arrival of the Unleash The Beast event in Johnstown signifies a triumphant return to the Keystone State.

Harris, hailing from Mullin, Texas, added an indelible chapter to PBR history as he went a perfect 3-for-3 in the Allentown Invitational, securing his third event win of the season.

Harris’s memorable ride atop Big Dan in Round 1 and his flawless cover of Preacher in Round 2 propelled him to victory. However, the crowning moment came when he faced off against Redbone in the championship round, scoring an event-high 89.75 points and stealing the show. This remarkable win saw Harris outclass two PBR World Champions, including the legendary J.B. Mauney from Statesville, North Carolina
