NFR’s Most Memorable Moments - Tuff Hedeman Rides for Lane Frost

Tuff Hedeman rode at 12 NFRs and won three Gold Buckles in his career. None were more memorable than his final ride in 1989.

Tuff fought through a difficult season that year and sealed the deal by riding his Round 10 bull for eight seconds and then eight more for his late friend Lane Frost.
