¶ PNW Bull Riding
Robert , how are you man ?
Man , I'm good . Nick , how are you doing ?
I'm doing all right . I'm doing all right . I'm happy you're here , man . You're the man behind PNW Bull Riding .
Okay , yeah , well , I appreciate the opportunity to be in here .
So I'm going to enjoy this conversation .
This is my first podcast , so I've listened to a lot of your episodes , so I'm excited .
Yeah Well , thank you . Thank you for being a listener and thank you for the support . Now , since you are PNW Bull Riding right , Number one episode you've enjoyed so far .
I really liked your when you had Tanner on . Yeah the stash man , that's the stash . So we got . We got well , he's got that , so I got a stash too . I'm trying to trying to be like Tanner here with my stash . I liked his podcast Tanner . I haven't met him , just interaction through social media . But good kids got a bright future in Bull Riding .
I appreciate the shout out he gave me . So yeah , I really enjoyed your talking with Tanner .
Yeah , man , these kids , these kids , especially the these young Pacific Northwest kids , man , they got a great head on their shoulders , man , they're taking care of their parents . Drive them to them from .
You know the ones that can't drive , you know I think Lane's finally driving and whatnot , but they're just great kids all around , kids that you know will go up to anybody and say hello . There are some that don't , but I haven't met one yet .
But you know , nick , they're , they come from good roots . Yes , they're humble right and it seems like a lot of your men , women , boys , girls that are involved in rodeo are just down the earth , people willing to give their shirt off , their back to you , help you anytime , walk him into their home .
You know , and I haven't met many that weren't that way in that industry . They're just good people . I think it's just a good foundation of where they come from .
Yeah , values , yeah , okay , yeah , yeah . So Tanner man , that's Stash man . When you see him , hopefully you see him soon , man , I don't want him to get a full , fixed mustache . I'm 41 years old , right , and I can't grow anything . But Tanner man , you can just see . It's a little little mustache of question . You know kind of it is .
Like I said , I'm jealous . I start my November and September because it takes me about three months to actually get some some what I call a caterpillar , up on the upper lip there there you go .
So , yeah , there you go . So so you understand , you understand , I do PNW bull riding . I mean you do bull riding . You highlight bull fighting , bucking bulls , rodeo , cowboy lifestyle .
That's correct .
Mostly bull riding . That is correct . You have a huge following , and it's not just Pacific Northwest following . You got people from Southeast . You got the Southeast boys looking at you . You got Northeast . You have Texas , Oklahoma , Midwest . I mean you got the whole shebang right , Did you ? I do ? Did you expect to be that big ?
I did not . No , I was as quick as it's been and I guess when I started this back in what have been 2019 , it's kind of a funny story . Obviously , what I do for my day job me and my buddy ran a training company for a while and we would we would post things and we would get like four , five , six likes on Instagram .
And , being being somebody that rode bulls when I was younger and just being a fan of the sport , now my co-worker is like , hey , why don't you start an Instagram on bull riding and just post some things ? I was like , okay , and so he kind of worked me through how to set it all up and I think it was like March of 2019 .
I can't recall I posted a picture of me riding and it got like 1300 likes and I was like , wow , okay , interesting , and so I posted something else .
It got more likes and then I started posting just like reposting PBR rides , deanna Barbosa , jv Mooney , some of those guys , and really a Barbosa fan , and just kind of reworked it and I was like you know , I'm going to try to tailor this to Pacific Northwest guys and it just it took off , I'd say , from 2019 to 2020 .
So within a year I went from one to like 20,000 followers Like it . Just it blew up . And then , obviously , we had what happened in the world there for a couple of years and it kind of slowed down a little bit and it's starting to pick back up , and we did . I've done giveaways .
I've been fortunate enough to be able to sponsor some guys over the last I guess what four or five years pay for some of their entry fees and been able to be one of the many sponsors for some rodeos here in the Pacific Northwest through some merch sales that I had going on .
It's been fun , something that every day I'm learning something different about it and if it wasn't , honestly , if it wasn't for , you know , the athletes sending me videos , this Instagram page would be nothing . It's them that keeps this going and that's what I'm thankful for .
So what you said ? You and your friend came up with the idea . Right , yeah , what ? What started it all , though ? What was the plan behind it ? I mean the thought , because not a lot of people say , hey , I'm going to put bulls or people riding bulls on the internet .
You know everything's at the , you know fingertips these days , but it's normally the bull riders or the bull fires . You know the performance athletes . You know putting it on either TikTok , instagram , you know whatever social media .
They enjoy .
But here you are . You're doing that , but what ? What started it ? What was the idea ? I mean , not a lot of people do what you do and are successful .
It was a , honestly , it was a spur of the moment thing . Just like I said , I've sit at work one day and and watching bull riding on the computer probably shouldn't have been , but I was like , hey , man , I should start it . You know , I started I should start a bull riding Instagram . He's like , yeah , that'd be cool .
And I'm like , well , I don't know what I would do , I can just post old pictures of myself . And and that's literally how it started , there was no game plan behind it . And those first couple posts , like I said , just just took off . And then I kind of sat down and I was like , how can I make this valuable for everybody ?
And when people started sending me their videos , I was like , okay , I have an opportunity here to cause . I got such a following so quick an opportunity to post some of these guys rides and try to promote them .
And you know my outlook is , hey , maybe I post a guy's ride and somebody sees this video and it's like , hey , you know , we want to offer that guy a sponsorship based off a video I posted of somebody .
And that's kind of where it's leading to now is how can I repost these videos of bull riders , bull fighters , anything Western culture for these individuals and help try to promote them and make them successful .
And , like I said , the Instagram is only as successful as the videos that get sent to me , and I'm appreciative of everybody that sends me their videos and if I can help them in any way , I will . So that's kind of where we're out and kind of how it started . It was just a spreatic , spontaneous thing and it went completely left field .
I wasn't even expecting that .
Okay , why PNW bull riding ? Because I've noticed some Southeastern boys , some of my guys , that I put on the podcast . Shout you guys out , shout you out as well . So why PNW bull riding ?
So the original thought was you know PNW Breivier for Pacific Northwest , and it was , hey , let's promote the bull riders here in the bull fighters , obviously here in Washington , oregon , idaho , maybe parts of Montana , because a lot of people don't know we have rodeo in this state , let alone bull riding .
And I walk into a store and people are like we have bull riding here , we have bull riders in Washington and Oregon , and I'm like , yeah , we've had a lot of bull riders come out . We got world champions that have come out of not only Washington and Oregon and all Rustock events , all rodeo events that you put it at that .
Yeah , you know , like I like Shane Proctor , I mean he's a PRCA world champion bull rider and so it was kind of like how can I promote local guys in the beginning and kind of get the word out there and get a fan base , more of a fan base , for you know obviously Western Washington and Washington in general , cause in Western Washington , where I'm located ,
it's nobody knows rodeo . You wear a cowboy hat and everybody comes up and asks you where you're from . So but that's kind of how it started and then everybody just started sending me their videos . I've never rebranded , I guess PNW bull riding . I've left it as it is and it's kind of like hey , I'll promote anybody that wants to send a video .
I have no problem doing that and that's part of growing , I guess , is I got a branch out and that's where we're at . I don't think I will rebrand . It'll continue to stay Pacific Northwest bull riding and I'll keep promoting those local guys . But anybody that wants to send videos or needs help , I'm more than willing to help them out .
How many people submit videos to you Like what's a weekly submission ?
I'd say probably two , two , two a week . Yeah , I go , if we go , average it's .
I've had it up to what's that ? You find them yourself , though .
I will . I'll find videos on there and repost guys that don't send things . Sometimes I'll message them and ask , hey , are you cool with me reposting your video ? And a lot of them are like , yeah , I would love that .
A lot of them don't know that they could send their videos to me to repost and I'm like , yeah , you can send whatever you want , I'll repost it . Whether it's a 90 point ride or you got bucked off into the stands , I mean I'll post it , I have no problem .
So it's just getting the word out there that , hey , send me your videos , I have no problem reposting things for you guys .
And your number one goal is just sharing rides , highlighting bull riders , right .
Yeah , that's the goal , yeah , and if one of them can get sponsorships out of it , I mean that's a success to me , right , watching somebody else shine . That's like I said . That's what makes this page successful is those individuals .
So that's pretty cool man I like that . That's why I'm glad you're on man I appreciate being here , man , because you know I'm the same way . I'm promoting these kids . You know , the Pacific Northwest crew , I mean pretty much , is getting bigger and bigger every day and it's tough to handle .
But it's awesome because all these boys and girls , they're hungry , they're ready and , man , they are showing it and I just hope one day these kids , you know , girls and boys can just take and dethrone the people that have been on top forever . And you know , politics aside , I just wish those politics could just go away .
Yeah , people can just go back to what it was before .
Yeah , I get where you're going , man , I feel it , I feel you
¶ Highlighting Talented Bull Riders and Bullfighters
.
Yeah , yeah , highlighting , though I've noticed you highlight three people riders in particular . Yep , I'm pretty sure you know who I'm going to talk about . You got Lane . Hey , that boy's bad , that boy's bad , he climbing Falls Boy . I had him on people know .
So I can say climbing Falls Boy and you know he's a tall kid , tall linky kid , but man , the way he rides rides like nobody that I've seen .
Oh , he takes spinners for steak dinners every weekend . That kid yeah .
Yes , Kai Boethem , I've tried to get him on and he's just a little hesitant . But you know , teach their own . Yeah , I think this one's not from Pacific Northwest and AJ right .
Yep AJ yeah .
CowboyAJ underscore 44 . He's from Texas .
Correct .
And what about him ? What intrigues you of this kid right here , AJ ?
And AJ started sending me videos and way back and that kid can just ride , he gets on , he bears down , he grits and he just he's not a very big dude and he gets it done . You know a lot of respect for him . You know I'd like to meet AJ one day in person and be able to watch him ride live .
But yeah , humble kid , you know from my interaction through social media with him but I just like the way that kid rides . He's just sticky and he's rode some rank bulls If you get on some of those videos some buckers down there in Texas . So , yeah , how old is he ? I don't know how old AJ is .
I believe he just graduated high school , so I think he's 18 , just turned 18 . So he's got a bright future . That kid's got a bright future .
Besides those three , outside of those three , who's another kid or rider that you got your eye on ? Man ?
Oh man , there's so many . There's a kid out of over here on the West side . He's been sending me some videos . I believe his name's Riker . I've reposted some of his stuff . Another guy he can ride . You had another guy down in Oregon , I believe his name was Wyatt . He got injured here a while back .
Davis , white Davis , I've had him on , yeah , and I haven't seen much of his videos lately . I think he finally just got back on not too long ago . I think he posted something Wyatt used to send me stuff . I like Wyatt , that's another guy . That's just gritty to come back from an injury like that and being a young dude to get back on .
I mean that's some toughness .
After something that bad too he got hurt pretty bad .
He did , and a lot of guys walk away after an injury like that and he got back on again .
He wanted to go back on the next day .
I like to put more videos on Wyatt . That kid can ride too . And then you got . I can never remember his name , but he'll send me videos . He's a bullfighter . He's down in Oregon . He's been on your cast . Roy Roy , yes , roy Jackson , roy Jackson , he's a good guy . I like Roy . He sends me some stuff .
He's another one and I wish more bullfighters would send me things To me . Man , bullfighters are . They're like your fire department and law enforcement department . They're the first responders , right when you get in a bad situation . Those guys are laying their life down for you .
I'm some heroes man , as I call them .
They are man and nothing but respect for those guys that put on the cleats and do that .
That's a whole different world and I wish , I wish I'd had more guys send me videos , because I really liked to highlight them too , because they're a huge part of rodeo , they're a huge part of bull riding , but yeah , Okay , I'll get the word out and hopefully it helps man .
But definitely yeah definitely If you want a guy who takes horns for a living . You got to talk to my boy that does the in the dirt Trevor Wells man . Trevor Wells , he's a good old Southern boy from Doluth . You can barely hear it . I mean , it's so thick , doluth , alabama , you know . Okay , all right , he's well known down there .
The more I talk to you know the kids over there he's set . Yeah , he's set . So Trevor Wells man .
Trevor Wells . I'm going to write that name down .
He loves them horns man . He loves a good hookin man . As he says , it's crazy , I don't know how he does it , but he gets pots . He doesn't have some teeth up in front , you know .
Yeah .
Okay , yeah , he gets potted . Sometimes I'm like God , all right , this is your job , all right , man . So region , region Now I don't know how many episodes you've listened to , but there's a region of what people eat sandwich-wise . My stable question is how do you build a peanut butter jelly sandwich ?
But the more I get involved with the bull riders , I've noticed they don't eat PBJ sandwiches , they eat cheese sandwiches and it's not grilled cheese , it's just a block of cheese and some bread right . And I've pretty much got it down to the Midwest , from pretty much Texas on . Up north , right , just straight up north , they love cheese sandwiches .
Everybody else loves a PBJ . So got to ask you I know where you live , you said it , I didn't what do you prefer ?
You know I love me a good PBJ . But you throw me down some wonder bread and a big old chunk of Tillamuck cheese on there and I'll get down on that all day that's actually a staple of mine and grapefruit juice . So those are my two staples .
Do you dip it or are you just drinking it ? No , I just wash it down with grapefruit juice . Now , is it a Colby Jack or a Sharp ?
cheddar Depends , right . Sometimes I like Swiss cheese . It depends on my mood , what kind of mood I'm in , what the weather's like . If it's , you know , 80 over here for our five days out of the year , I'm going to put Swiss on that . If it's raining on me , we're putting Colby Jack .
So yep All right , I'm just going to ask you , because you know you're P&W what is it about the cheese sandwich ? Just cheese and bread sandwich . What is it about that ?
I don't know . I think because it's quick , it's easy , it's cheap , you can make a bunch of them , throw them in a bag and it's going to sustain you for as long as you need to go .
OK , all right , I'll take your word for it .
I mean we got Tillamuck organ , I mean one of the . We got Dairy Gold here , so I mean cheese is kind of a staple here . I mean I think we're going to have to put up a fight with Wisconsin here , oh yeah , so Well , a most underrated dairy farm here is Walla Walla Dairy .
So yeah . Yeah , they got the best cheese curds in my opinion , and I've said that on air plenty of time . So if you ever come down here in these parts Walla , walla cheese curds beat Tillamuck by far .
I'm going to have to check it out then .
No , yeah Now , since we're just doing questions now .
¶ Promoting Rodeo and Discussing Favorite Riders
Favorite writer now .
We talk in professional like PBR . Take me anybody , just writer , I think one of my favorite writers still is Dina Barbosa . I just , I like Dina . I think he's underrated . I think that guy's , if he stays healthy , he's going to be a world champion . He's just biding his time . Dina can ride the guy's sticky .
I mean , you watch that guy and it's like when are you going to break out ? Your time's coming , when you're going to break out ? And yeah , he's one of my favorites .
I've reposted quite a few of his videos and he always likes them , which is it's kind of cool when you see a guy at the PBR like one of your videos , a video you repost of him , and it's like , okay , cool . And but yeah , I think he's probably one of the most underrated guys right now .
Yeah , when I I was shocked when Cody Custer started following me . I was like are you kidding me ? I was like the man himself yes , World champ , right there , Right , Exactly . So I was like what I must be doing something , right , yeah ? And then we understand you know you're , you know you're a fan , and then you end up being a fan boy .
Yeah , you go from writing to becoming a fan than a fan boy . It's the evolution , yup .
All time bull rider .
All time bull rider . Oh man , justin McBride . Yeah , I can't say much , but Justin McBride , I used to . I guess he was kind of one of my idols when I was starting my bull riding career and just watching him , and he used to have the Masio Camo bull riding vest and that dude would grid it out . I remember when he won his world title .
He's hanging off the side of the bull , he's underneath the bull . He just needed the eight seconds and it was like man , that guy's determined . And yeah , justin McBride , he's a good ambassador for the sport too .
So Un-sung hero bullfighter .
Oh man .
Now or back in the day .
Man Un-sung . Oh , that's a good one , because there's so many bullfighters . Man , I really liked Rob's Mets I think . Yeah , he's looking about man .
Rob is Rob old school , but Jesse Burns Okay , no somebody else said something about Schmets and I was like okay .
Yeah , I think Rob , I think you know if you like Rob , I think he goes out there and says he's like broke every bone in his body doing it Like . But unsung hero , jesse Burns , like I think he's another one of those bullfighters , just underrated , just sacrifices . That guy's determined . You haven't seen , I haven't seen much of him .
It seems like the PBR is kind of phasing some of those guys out from the big tour or some of the younger guys are coming in now . But I really liked watching , watching Jesse fight bulls .
So Ryder , you have to follow or check in on from time to time , man .
I think that'd be JV Mooney . Honestly , I know that's kind of cliche to say right , but , like you , look at what JV's accomplished and you know , two time PBR World Champion and now he's he's getting older .
He made the national finals here what about two years ago , I think it was and he's , you know , he's pursuing , I think , a PRCA world title and it's like okay , I got to . And JV seems like he's always hurt , like he just he had a broken leg . I heard he's in Idaho .
And it's okay In Kittlewick just recently , man yeah .
And so I got to check in and see how JV's doing , because he's always hurt but he's getting on and he he's just a cowboy Right Like . Jv is a cowboy through and through . He's not just a bull rider . And so you know , I'm always checking in on him . And then , and then Shane Procker , because he's local .
I always like to see what Shane's doing , you know and and see . You know he he's . He's another guy always checking on See if he's posted anything . Get on see where he's at in the standings . He's got to make the finals again . He's just another guy I like to watch .
So , and Shane Shane , you know I've never met him , but he does a lot for the bull riding community . He always puts on , it seems , a school or a couple of schools every year to to give back to the up and coming guys , which I really like to see .
I like to see those , those world champions , those professionals putting on schools and sharing their knowledge with the next generation that's coming up .
So yeah , speaking of youth , what thoughts of youth in the sport , man , male and female ? Just what's your thoughts , man ?
I think it's great . I don't . I don't think rodeo is as big as it can be . Yet Um and again that's one part of my page is trying to get out and promote it and it's it's . It's a sport that we could be as big as baseball , football , right . I just don't think there's a lot of knowledge of it .
People don't realize that , especially here in in Washington Oregon . How big rodeo is Um and just being able to promote it and and get more rodeos , sanctioned rodeos , um have more practice pins that open up and providing more opportunities . We got baseball fields on every corner . It seems like um a basketball court at every park .
Can we have some more arenas put up and start introducing you know some of these , these kids , to rodeo ? For sure ? I think so and I think they would take off . They would like it . There's just not the opportunity out there yet for them .
You and the guy just recently , cash Kobe , told me that you guys feel it can . It's , it's small , it's not big , but you two are the only ones , out of everyone that I've I've interviewed , saying that it could be bigger , it could be bigger . I'm like man , it is big , it is big . How big do you guys want it , but I understand where you're coming from .
It could be big . So look like the PBR is on nationalized television , right ? Like you talked to any reasonable person . They know what the PBR is . And then obviously , the PRCA national finals rodeo . But if you had a six , seven , eight year old that's living in a city , they would .
His parents wouldn't have no idea where to start to get him involved in rodeo , or youth rodeo at that . And if the opportunity was out there and we can grow the sport and provide those opportunities for those kids , I think we would see , obviously , the sport grow .
Bull riding , from what 94 when the PBR started , to what it is now , is one of the fastest growing organizations and professional sports . Let's translate that back to now , youth rodeo , and let's grow that and start expanding and providing opportunities for those kids that wanna compete . That see it , it was like me in eight seconds . I watched eight seconds .
I was I don't remember how old I was . I think it came out in 94 and I told my parents , hey , I wanna try bull riding . And they had nowhere to go . They , okay , and it wasn't till I was probably 14 that they finally found a place . And they just happened .
They were driving around and happened to see a sign that said bull riding and stopped in , but it was four or five years later . But if we had that opportunity to start having arenas around and promoting the sport , we could grow it and I think we would see a large flux of kids that wanna try it cause it's fun .
Who doesn't wanna hold onto a sheep or strap their hand into a you know , into a bowl , or get on the back of a bucking horse or the best time your life , honestly so ?
Favorite venue to attend .
Favorite venue to attend that would probably be . It's a local rodeo here called the Timber Bowl and it's up in Darrington , just a little hole in the town , lager Town , that they put on a rodeo . I believe it's the pro-west that comes there and it's just a good time you can bring the family right . They got big field kids run around .
Yeah , it's , you wanna make memories to come to the Timber Bowl rodeo so ?
yep , next event you'll attend that you have plans to attend .
Yeah , the next event is gonna be the Cowboy Cross , which is in Ellensburg , I believe , september 30th . I'm helping , I'm one of the sponsors for the rodeo . It's a split bull riding and motor cross event and so , barring anything happens with my work schedule , I plan on attending that one .
Okay , September 30th .
Yep September 30th .
Okay , what's it named again ?
It's Cowboy Cross , the bull riding motor cross event .
Okay , gotta check that out . All right , I'll be on the lookout . Future of your page , man .
The future of my page . I wanna keep growing it and just kinda see where it goes . It's fluid , it really is , it's fluid .
And if I could get the opportunity cause I just opened up selling merch again merchandise To be able to the first time I did it all those profits went to sponsoring guys and if I could have the opportunity to start sponsoring more guys , sponsoring more rodeos , obviously that would be awesome .
And then , honestly , one day I'd like to have get an arena built over here and open up a practice pin , and that's kind of the 10 year goal I guess you would say Five to 10 year goal and start promoting it and bringing in that next generation .
And then , with that , bringing in schools , bringing in some of these guys are world champions or pros and letting them now share their knowledge and to give back to the sport that gave them so much . So those are the kind of the goals with the page right now . You know , and and I know , if I just keep working , it's all come to come to the fruitation .
It's just it just takes time and putting everything , the puzzle together , as I call it .
so Future of PNW bull riding man .
The future PNW bull riding .
Yeah , just the name . I mean Pretty much . You're gonna take it with you .
It's , I think it's . Yeah , I don't think I'm gonna rebrand it , I think it's gonna be PNW bull riding . Mm-hmm , that's the roots , that's my roots and I'm gonna keep it where it is . And you know , I know down south you got the lazy HK that always runs like a winner series . Yeah , who knows , maybe we'll have a North series and it'll be PNW bull riding .
And you know , we got HK down south and PNW up up north and we can have a little little team series or whatever , like the PB hards got going on now we could battle back and forth .
So that'll be awesome . That's cool . Yeah okay , bucket list personal on your bucket list .
Mail , it's number one on your bucket list the number one on my bucket list and Everybody says I'm crazy because I want to do this . But yeah , I like to start investing in bucking balls . I really would and and become a stock contractor . I think that would be , that would be fun . I know it's hard work but you know I'm only gonna have that .
You know that , that , that J O B for so long and then I'm gonna have to . You know , figure out what I'm gonna do and I figure , hey , you know what an opportunity Come a stock contractor and and that just leads into all the other goals I have Down down the line . So that's number one on my bucket list .
I'm looking into it and you know , branching out and researching and Messaging people that that are strong contract like , how do you start ? What's all involved in this ? So hopefully that that will come to fruitation one day .
Well , man , you told me what your plans were five to ten years from now . Man , I got no other questions , you answered them already . I , man , I appreciate what you do . I really do .
I appreciate you putting these kids on blasts and sharing their stuff and just making it known to the world that you know , people do pay attention to these kids , especially these kids that come from what ? What people say podunk towns . You know I don't like that word , but you know what I mean .
It's just these kids , they , they , they work their rears off to get where they're at and you Know , here they are writing Rank rides and everything else just to get right , and you're putting them on the map , you're helping them put them on the map , and I Appreciate what you do . I really do , and I'm pretty sure you know people say the same thing to me .
They do , they do . But , man , what you do for the community is huge , and so I just want you to know I appreciate you , I see you , other people see you and appreciate you . So when you said yeah , you'll be on , I couldn't believe you'd be on . So thank you , robert , for oh , thank you .

I Never expected this in a lifetime that a couple years on road , to be on a podcast talking about an Instagram bull riding page . It's truly blessed , truly Blessed opportunity and I thank you for that . And again , it's not all .
It wouldn't all be possible without all those athletes , individuals like yourself spreading , spreading the word about Rodeo , the Western culture , and letting people know that it's alive and it's thriving .
