WHAT IS XTREME BULLS?

The PRCA Xtreme Bulls Tour showcases the PRCA’s top bull riders and some of the rankest bulls the world has to offer. Xtreme Bulls competitors include the top bull riders from the PRCA | RAM World Standings as well as contestants who advance through Xtreme Bulls qualifying events. In most Xtreme Bulls events, every contestant competes in the first round, with the top performers advancing to the final round. The winner of the two-head average after the final

round earns the title for that tour stop. Money won on the PRCA Xtreme Bulls Tour counts toward the PRCA | RAM World Standings for bull riding, which determine the qualifiers for the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo but does not count toward the all-around standings. 2022 SEASON HIGHLIGHTS • Stetson Wright won his first Xtreme Bulls Tour title in his decorated career, finishing the season with $73,945. • Wright stacked up wins and broke records it seems like nearly every week and a two day stop at the Pendleton Whisky Xtreme Bulls Finale in September proved to be no different. • The five-time PRCA World Championship showed off his pedigree by winning not only the Finale championship, but the year-end PRCA Xtreme Bulls Tour title as well. He finished the four rounds of competition with 257 points on three head, making him the only cowboy to ride three bulls at the event. • The Milford, Utah, cowboy, earned an event best $20,648 for his performance. That number proved to be enough to move him into the top spot in the PRCA Xtreme Bulls Tour Standings at the conclusion of the event, edging out fellow NFR qualifier Josh Frost by $10,636. He secured the title in the third round with an 86-point ride on Muddy Creek Pro Rodeo’s Spyglass. Xtreme Bulls Finale, Pendleton, Ore., Sept. 12-13 First round: 1.
