Top NFR Moments: Tuff Hedeman’s Tenth Round Tribute to Best Friend Lane Frost

Here’s a look back at one of the most touching NFR moments of all — narrated by the late actor Luke Perry (who played Lane Frost in the hit movie 8 Seconds.)

Following the legendary bull rider’s death at the Cheyenne Frontier Days Rodeo in 1989, his best friend Tuf Hedeman honored Lane in the tenth and final round.

While attempting to win his second world champion gold buckle, Tuf rode 8 seconds for himself, and then another 10 for Lane.
