At the age of 18, John Crimber surpassed every lofty expectation set for him during his rookie year in the PBR and the World Finals was no different.
After starting 0-for-2, he won Rounds 3 and 4 of Elimination Round of the World Finals to maintain his No. 2 ranking and close the gap between himself and Cassio Dias.
“It was little rough in the beginning, but I just kept my head down and was like ‘you know what, I know what I’m capable of,’ so just went out the next round and forgot about all of the buckoffs and turn it around,” Crimber said. “In the beginning, it was a little nerve racking.”
Not only did Crimber have a more relaxed approach in Rounds 3 and 4, he also got a boost from Colorado defensive back Travis Hunter, the cover athlete of EA Sports College Football 25.
Now it’s onto AT&T Stadium, where the World Champion will be determined on May 18 and 19, for Crimber.
“I’ve been having fun this week, went to the sale barn Monday, yesterday I actually got on some practice bulls to get my body moving a little bit,” he said. “We’re going to support some buddies (at the Redemption Round) and watch a little bull riding, that’s what I like doing.”
