Tanner James and Wyatt Cox had recently participated in the team roping event at the Livingston Roundup Rodeo. The rodeo took place between July 2 and 4, during which time they managed to exhibit great skills. They secured $3,238 each by scoring 4.3 points against the top competition in the event. This competition fueled them to do better and increase their total earnings beyond the $300,000 mark. James and Cox exceeded all expectations at the Heber City rodeo, impressing both the audience and their fellow competitors.

In the video clip shared on Twitter, the duo could be seen chasing after a young bull on horseback. Tanner James wasted no time and threw the lasso around the bull’s neck. The announcer in the background was ecstatic at the wonderful aim and shouted, “A royal grande California” at the top of his lungs. The two cowboys worked with hidden signals to coordinate their movements and successfully brought the bull under control. The Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association also celebrated the performance on their Twitter account, stating, “It was poetry in motion for Tanner James & Wyatt Cox in Heber City, winning with a 4.9-second run”. The announcer at the rodeo also declared that James and Cox have been enjoying great success since last year.
