The Wrangler National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas was a bull-riding spectacle. With adrenaline-fueled performances from the best of the beasts, this marked a significant moment for 7x PRCA World Champion Sage Kimzey as well.
Following his impressive win in round 6, where he tied with Josh Frost, and an 88 in round 8, Kimzey’s wife announced that this was “our last NFR; we’re enjoying the ride” before Kimzey would head towards the PBR. After the thrill and roller coaster bull ride this season, the largest bull riding championship is set to take centre stage.
