In 1992, twenty bull riders founded The Professional Bull Riders (PBR).
Since that date, the PBR has grown rapidly and has been declared "the fastest growing sport in America" (PBR.com). Every year, the PBR hosts hundreds of events around the world. At each high-energy event, the best cowboys in the world ride bucking bulls in front of cheering crowds. If you've never been to a PBR event, you need to put it on your bucket list.
Since 2011, the Big Sky PBR has been a staple event in Big Sky, Montana. After many exciting years, Big Sky is considered to be one of the best bull riding venues on the entire PBR tour! ExploreBigSky.com, writes that it is the "top-paying touring pro bull riding stop with prize and sponsorship money totaling nearly $80,000 for the 40 cowboys who competed."
According to BigSkyPBR.com, as of 2016, the Big Sky PBR is a 4-time PBR Event Of The Year. In 2017, The Big Sky PBR was nominated as a finalist for the 2017 Montana Tourism Event Of The Year! As you can see, this family-friendly event should NOT be missed.
