JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Professional Bull Riders (PBR) will return to VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena on Friday for its third year in a row.
PBR promises to bring two “adrenaline-charged” nights as the world’s top bull riders will go head-to-head against the “toughest animal athletes on the planet,” in a series of battles.
News4JAX went to the VyStar arena on Friday morning ahead of PBR’s first show.
Wyatt Rogers, a bull rider from Oklahoma, said he grew up going to rodeos with his family and fell in love with bullriding from a very young age.
“This is absolutely the dream. Ever since I was a little kid, kids were 4 or 5 years old saying they wanted to grow up and be a police officer, a firefighter. Mine was always a professional bull rider,” Rogers said.
