Let's Tip Our Hats To The 2018 Pro Rodeo Hall Of Fame Inductees

The Pro Rodeo Hall Of Fame has announced their roster of 2018 inductees. This year, the honor was awarded to five contestants along with the contract personnel, stock contractor, livestock, committee, notable, and Ken Stemler Pioneer awards.

Team ropers Speed Williams and Rich Skelton were inducted for their efforts in the team roping game. The pair dominated together, winning every world title in their event from 1997 to 2004. 

Both continue to compete in the event with talent that has stood the test of time. We caught up with Skelton back at the CINCH Chute Out in Las Vegas to see how he was passing that talent on to the next generation. 

All In The Family: Rich & Rainey Skelton
