Bull riding fans can expect to witness the ultimate test of skill, bravery and athleticism as the cowboys battle some of the toughest bulls in the sport.
This year’s event will be a three-part affair, with the first stage taking place at Cowtown Coliseum in Fort Worth, Texas, from May 8-11. Here, 45 elite riders will compete in a series of qualifying rounds, aiming to secure their spot in the final championship round. Contestants will face off against a roster of fierce bulls in a race to earn points, with the top 15 from the Unleash The Beast standings and the top 5 riders from the Fort Worth event advancing to the grand finale.
The Ride for Redemption round, also held at the Cowtown Coliseum May 14-15, adds an extra layer of drama and excitement to the competition. Twenty-five contestants who have not already qualified, along with 15 invited riders, will face off in two additional rounds for a chance to make the big show.
