PBR: Professional Bull Riders on Tour
For a rodeo rider, trying to master a feisty horse is tough enough, a task not to be taken lightly, but bearing down on a big bull increases the scariness quotient considerably. That's one of the things that makes watching a pro bull rider so compelling — it's thrilling and frightening in equal measure as you marvel at the riders' skills while praying that they make it out unscathed.
These days, when it comes to bull riding, it's all about PBR: Professional Bull Riders. The organization started back in 1992 as a grassroots effort spearheaded by a handful of riders with a vision for what the sport could offer to fans. PBR grew by leaps and bounds over the decades, and by the 2010s they were sponsoring three major tours every year, adding up to hundreds of events with millions of dollars in prizes being awarded annually.
Needless to say, attending a PBR event means watching the best bull riders in the business strutting their stuff. Over the years, champs like J.B. Mauney, Kody Lostroh, Justin McBride, Adriano Moraes, Chris Shivers, and Tuff Hedeman have all distinguished themselves as decorated heroes of the PBR, giving all the rest a high standard to which they could aspire. And each of their tours offer fans the opportunity to catch some bull riding history in the making, be it the Unleash the Beast Series that ends with the PBR World Finals in Las Vegas, The Velocity Tour that showcases the rising stars of the PBR, or the Touring Pro Division split into Western, Central, and Eastern regions.
Whichever PBR competition you end up catching, there's one common thread. You're guaranteed to see some world-class athletes reaching deep inside themselves to tap into the best of their talents and give rodeo lovers an unforgettable experience.
Event was awesome. Seats were great. Staff was polite and helpful. Food is mediocre. Only one exit/entrance to the parking area so be patient and enjoy the wait when the shows over. Go there every year for this event and enjoy the opportunity to enjoy the city as well.
I haven't been to a bull ride since I was a child. About 40 years ago. I was super excited when I saw you were coming. I was so excited I even purchased my western attire. Everyone did a fantastic job and I hope you will return again.
First time at a PBR event... kids absolutely loved it. Family friendly and fun for all!
Omg! First time for my grand-daughter and myself and we LOVED it! AWESOME!
It was my first live bull riding event. I brought my daughter, granddaughter, and great granddaughter. We all enjoyed the evening.
I absolutely loved it!!!! I grew up watching it on tv and seeing them in person. It was also my sons first time ever going and he absolutely enjoyes himself.
Took my 7 year old and we had the best time! Definitely loud, so if bringing kids, also bring noise cancelling headphones
Sound was way too loud, could cause hearing loss. Not safe, mask rules NOT enforced.
Me and my family had a great time. Always love going to watch the PBR.
It was my first time on a PBR it was fun and amazing i’m glad i was able to see it, all the cowboys were amazing, hope to see it again
Great experience and entertaining energy. Definitely will attend again
In the beginning to kick it off, the other events had more bells and whistles - lighting up the PBR initials, sparklers, men rappelling from the ceiling! This opener was just flat and boring. The main “Clown” guy was difficult to hear. He wears a mic and he is there to entertain the crowd but he barely spoke and just relied on giving away stuff to the audience. He was also very un-entertaining. Of course the cowboys and the bulls were the stars and I’m continually impressed with their investment. Overall, I will definitely attend again (and drag my friends) but this was not entertaining outside of the cowboys.
This was a great event. I loved the Commitators for this event. I can't wait for the next one. Great crowd interaction. The only downfall was, people didn't have on their mask. Other than that 10+😀
We were unable to attend due to the covid epidemic.
It was a great night and wonderful to see the PBR in Kennewick! I hope they come back every year!
Show was great! Will def go again! Not too many cowboys stayed on for 8 seconds but it was still a great show!!
Parking was great. We entered the venue without a long wait and the check-in went smoothly. Found our seats quickly and had a wonderful time with friends and family. The entertainment was great in between breaks as well.
It was very exciting and entertaining. Every rider and bull was a new moment. Every time its something different will not get bored of it.
I'm not a cowboy, but was still a lot of fun. Some pretty crazy dudes out there riding those bulls. And a very well orchestrated production.
It was a good experience. Exciting when riders would qualify.
