Kody Lostroh would never vacation in Las Vegas. And he wouldn’t be here now if it weren’t for the Professional Bull Riders World Finals and paychecks with several zeros.
Six of the top 10 competitors in the Professional Bull Riders would like to forget the opening weekend of the World Finals.
Growing up in a remote village in Brazil in the middle of the Amazon rain forest, Robson Palermo taught himself how to ride bulls by watching videotapes of fellow countryman and three-time Professional Bull Riders world champion Adriano Moraes. … Palermo successfully rode seven of his eight bulls in last year’s World Finals in Las Vegas en route to the title, and he scored 92.25 points Sunday on Black Pearl to win the third round of this year’s Finals at the Thomas & Mack Center.
Before Saturday, only one rider had ever stayed on board Bones, the 2008 PBR World Champion bull, for eight seconds.
Just making it to the PBR World Finals on Friday was a major accomplishment for bull rider Ryan McConnel, who was involved in a life-threatening car accident Tuesday.
Kody Lostroh could win his first Professional Bull Riders championship in the next 10 days and collect $1 million.

First things first. The cell phone voice mail. It is one of those standard messages by a woman who sounds like a librarian reciting rules about talking in your quiet voice. I was expecting some background tunes of “Abilene.” Maybe some “Happy Trails.”
Five years ago, Stran Smith wasn’t too worried about calf roping. He was more concerned about simply staying alive.
World champion rodeo athletes aren’t given bonus checks for winning their prestigious titles.
If Randon Adams wasn’t a team roper, he might be able to make a living handling dynamite, nitroglycerine or a surgeon’s scalpel.
Rookie Tuf Cooper, 18, won Friday’s calf roping go-round with a time of 6.7 seconds, the quickest of the National Finals Rodeo.
