Bodacious: Master of Disaster

The Baddest Bull to Ever Buck


Current research is informed by 200+ hours of exclusive, firsthand interviews with the legends who shaped the sport, including:

  • Sammy Andrews: Owner of Bodacious and ProRodeo Hall of Fame Stock Contractor.

  • Tuff Hedeman: 4x World Champion and the man whose face Bodacious famously broke.

  • Cody Custer: 1992 World Champion and PBR Co-Founder.

  • Jim Sharp: "The Razor," the first man to ride all 10 bulls at the NFR.

  • Clint Branger: PBR Co-Founder and one of only a few to ride Bodacious to the buzzer (and he did it twice!),

and others whose lives and legacies helped define modern bull riding.

A multi-year research project slated for late 2026 which is the definitive biography of the 1,900-pound athlete that redefined the limits of fear and physics in the 1990s.
