Ten rounds, 120 competitors, ten million dollars, countless memorable moments. 

In celebration of Trevor Brazile’s 25th world title win – captured last weekend at the National Steer Roping Finals in Mulvane, Kansas – we’re taking a walk down memory lane to relive all 25 of his world titles along his 20-plus-year career in the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA).

It's that moment when you realize all of the preparation, all of the hours spent in the practice pen, all of the miles, the money, the time away from home, and the sacrifice you've made, was worth it. For nine professional rodeo competitors trying to make a living on the rodeo trail last year, that moment is when they were announced as the 2019 World Champions.

We compiled some of the best stock contractors from the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo, the Canadian Finals Rodeo, and the PBR World Finals for you to vote on, and you told us who brings your favorite broncs and bulls to town!

To be honest, we had a lot of trouble narrowing this list down. In the past year, we’ve had the privilege of telling the stories of some truly amazing rodeo athletes from all over North America.

We had the opportunity to watch some very special moments in the arena this year and – luckily – hear what those amazing athletes thought about those moments outside of the arena. Some of them made us laugh, some made us cry, but all of these moments left a lasting impression on us.

If there was one common theme among the roughstock contestants at the NFR this year, it was that the stock in 2018 was just plain RANK. Even what was supposed to be the hopper pen was a “souped-up” version that hardly made for a day off for the contestants in Las Vegas. 

Want to watch the 2018 Wrangler National Finals Rodeo at warp speed? Check out the winning rides and runs from all 10 rounds at the Thomas and Mack Center in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Here's to the memories.

Grit, determination, and a lucky charm for good measure. Barrel racer Taci Bettis had a tough start to her NFR week, but she's turning it around night-by-night in Las Vegas.
