Epic bull riding has been a common theme throughout the 2024 Unleash the Beast season. At this very moment, the PBR faithful have flocked to Salt Lake City, Utah, to see the spectacle at the Delta Center. The audience enjoyed many rides and buck-offs during Round 1 of the PBR event. Nevertheless, with all the excitement, the astonishing 8-second buzzer beater by 20-year-old Koltin Hevalow stood out.

Even though the rodeo arena had world champion riders, the young cowboy stole the show. Because of his evident skill, Hevalow’s ride went viral on PBR’s official social media!

PBR arena cheering loud

It is rare to see a beginner riding like a pro on stage; usually, the world champions steal the spotlight. Many riders competed in the first of the three rounds of the PBR UTB event. Alan de Souza, Jose Vitor Leme, Brady Fielder, Koltin Hevalow, and Boudreaux Campbell were members of Section 5 of the event. Koltin Hevalow, nevertheless, managed to get a stint out of the bucking bull. Before removing the metal chutes, the cowboy in the PBR Instagram post was sitting atop the bull.

The bull began bucking the young cowboy after the metal chutes were off. Considering Taz’s 67% buck-off rate, nobody anticipated Hevalow to ride the bull so swiftly. The 20-year-old cowboy persisted on the bull for what seemed like an eternity. Hevalow dominated Taz in style, and the spectators watched as the cowboy was thrown off the bull at the 8-second mark, as he knew he had achieved good points in Round 1 of the PBR event. Thanks to this 85.50-point performance, the cowboy is now in the event’s top five.

Awaiting more action ahead
