Eli Vastbinder Looks Back At Winning PBR Rookie Of The Year & The Track He Is On For 2022

Eli Vastbinder was the 2021 PBR Rookie of the Year and says that was an achievement that that you get one shot to try to win and thought at 30 years old that this title was no longer in the cards.

“I just showed up and rode bulls, took the task at hand and was trying to be the best bull rider I could be”, Eli say about his mindset regarding his place in last year’s Rookie Standings.

Eli has great friendships with the current and upcoming riders in the PBR and he continues to enjoy the sport. We are excited to see him in Fort Worth for the World Finals to end out the season.
