A remarkable sport that ages through generations, experiences, and unbridled passion is Professional Bull Riding (PBR). It is famous for its exhilarating battle between man and beast for eight seconds. The focus shifts to an unexpected combination as the arena erupts with excitement and the dust settles: an experienced two-time world champion and an 18-year-old rookie whose rise through the PBR ranks has been nothing short of spectacular.

Stepping into his bull rider father’s shoes, the newbie crossed paths with the legend which gave fans a peek into their wordy exchange. Take note, as the association highlights the shared limelight by the duo.

Crimber’s initial intense ride began in the 24-event Sprint to the First World Championship at AT&T Stadium. Despite being a rookie, he’s already made an impression on people by performing above his years and experience level. John is the keeper of a family legacy, and his victory in the PBR Canada Cup Series cemented his place as a major player on the global scene. All the while rooting for the newbie, the veteran Leme is no shy of a dirt appearance this coming season.
