The Greeley Stampede 100 Day 1 race of the PRCA Rodeo kicked off at 7pm on Thursday with the action-packed, adrenaline-packed Xtreme Bulls event at the Stampede Arena.

The Xtreme Bulls Tour features the best bull riders from across the country and around the world from the PRCA World Ranking, as well as riders progressing through the Xtreme Bulls qualification events.

All contestants compete in the first round, with the top scorers moving to the final round. The winner of the finals gets the title of Greeley Tourist Station. Riders can also earn points for qualifying for the Wrangler National Rodeo Finals in Las Vegas.

As in years past, Beutler and Sons Rodeo presented a lineup of bulls for this event.

A bull named Exit Ramp was named second best PRCA rider Josh Frost, 27. Frost is the second cousin of famous bull rider Lynne Frost who was killed in a tragic accident in 1989 at Cheyenne Frontier Days. Frost tried to hold out, but Exit Ramp pushed the rider into the air as he completed a 360 before landing on the ground.

Holden Moss of Ringgold, Georgia, was disqualified when his free hand touched his bull, and Wiggins’ Elijah Mora rider took a hoof in the head. Maura walked out of the arena with the help of two doctors, but the cowboy denied receiving any further medical treatment.

Munsell came out of the fight limping a bit but stayed on the field. Greeley’s Ryder Rich also hit a few flicks throughout the night, but the youngster didn’t suffer any serious injuries.
