Sundell wins first world title at 33

Wade Sundell qualified for the saddle bronc riding for the Wrangler Finals every year between 2007 and 2015.

He didn’t make the Finals again until 2018. And this year wasn’t easy, as the 33-year-old’s house burned down over the summer.

But Sundell won $177,327 at the Finals to propel him to his first gold buckle with $280,636.

“Words can’t explain it, it’s amazing,” he said. “I’ve been trying to do it since the first time here, but I’m glad it came and hope there’s more to come.”

Sundell focused on getting back to Las Vegas. He accomplished that, getting in with the eighth-most money won among saddle bronc riders. He trailed regular-season leader Jacobs Crawley by $64,792.

But Sundell chipped away at the leaders. He just kept riding. He placed in the first three rounds, won Round 5, placed in Round 6, split the win in Round 7 and placed in the last two rounds.

He claims he did nothing different from what he’s always done.

“Just go day by day and do what you’ve been doing your whole life – keep your chin down and have fun riding bucking horses.”

Sundell already has plans for all the money he won.

“Life will do that to you,” he said about his housefire. “But keep your chin up – there’s no sense in being a Sally. … (I will) rebuild the house.”

As for his immediate plans.

“Go home and relax,” he said.

Why do you need an antiquated hat to ride an animal in a competition?

 

Or wear one while cheering the dumb shit on?

 

Bunch of fucking retards.

I think 95% of the competitors are Jesus freaks. Great Christians like you know who. I'd bet not a Jew in the crowd or the industry. But plenty of Jesus freaks and great Christians?

 

Just an assumption and observation. I could be wrong. Fishhead can you confirm if my assumption is accurate?

Assumption confirmed

 

 

(I didn't do a complete check of the 100+ entrants in this years FINALS, three years ago only one was from east of the Mississippi River, Florida.)
