FORT WORTH, Texas (February 25, 2019) – Returning to the site where it all began, the pioneer of the sport of bull riding, Tuff Hedeman announced today that tickets are on sale for his annual Fort Worth Tuff Hedeman Bull Riding Challenge presented by Rock and Roll Denim. The four-time World Champion and Pro Rodeo Hall of Famer is preparing to celebrate twenty-seven years of the first stand-alone bull riding he produced for the first time in 1993 in Fort Worth’s Cowtown Coliseum.
This classic bull riding competition is widely acknowledged as one of the corner stones for “bull riding only” events in the United States. The bull riding leader has been producing bull riding events that have been thrilling audiences with his two hour adrenaline rush entertainment style punctuated with the two things he knows fans want to see great rides and high scores.
Hedeman’s signature “invitation only” three round sudden death tournament style event highlights a roster of World Champions and National Finals Rodeo contenders (NFR) where the cowboy athletes battle for the lion’s share of $30,000 in prize money. The format appeals to new spectators and established fans alike because riders can challenge as many as three bulls in one performance.
“I look forward every year to crowning a champion in Cowtown, it is a special place for me where the sport and bull riding athletes, now known worldwide by millions, got its start and we look forward every year to providing the Fort Worth and surrounding communities with a top rated bull riding competition and great family fun entertainment,” said Hedeman.
Competing on the on the same dirt floor in the same arena where Hedeman produced his first event, he will once again pack the house and entertain bull riding fans and newcomers in town who are looking forward to experiencing a traditional western entertainment event featuring the industry’s elite riders against world class bucking bulls.
3-Time NFR qualifier and THBRT Bossier Champion Roscoe Jarboe finished second in El Paso andwill be invited to compete in Fort Worth at the South Point Tuff Hedeman Bull Riding Challenge presented by Rock&Roll Denim.
Hedeman’s annual event includes a stick bull riding for kids 6 and under, an intermission steer riding for up and coming bull riders representing the sport’s future athletes.
