We sat down with bull rider Laramie Mosley.
Born in Texas, he moved to Colorado as a baby where his parents were offered a job managing a feed lot, then to Kansas, then back to Colorado. He lost his mother at the age of 14 after his parents divorced. He bounced around between 6 and 8 different schools before settling with his aunt in Sublette, Kansas.
His one constant: bull riding.
Laramie talks about overcoming hardship, learning to ride bulls, getting through his rookie year, and working toward the NFR.
After 19, he didn’t have any money or a place to live, and he says, “I had to sit down and refresh everything. I had to sit down and write my goals down, and I mean, I just went to praying, and I said, I need to know if this is it. I need to know if I am just beating myself up or if I am actually heading in the right direction.”
In 2020, he started having the best year he’s ever had. Then he popped out a shoulder. Then he did it again, and the second fall nearly killed him. Luckily, Dr. Tandy Freeman of Justin Sports Medicine was able to get him back on the mend.
