Perfect Jordan Hansen Wins Cup Series Event in Medicine Hat, Alberta, to Crack Top 10 in the Heated Battle for the 2023 PBR Canada Championship

 

On the bubble of qualifying for the National Finals, Jake Gardner and Cody Fraser tie for second to gain crucial ground in the standings

At the penultimate PBR (Professional Bull Riders) Canada Cup Series, presented by Wrangler, event of the season in Medicine Hat, Alberta, Jordan Hansen (Amisk, Alberta) went a perfect 2-for-2 to win the PBR Medicine Hat Classic, presented by Art’s Excavating, and crack the Top 10 in the heated national championship race.

Hansen got off to a hot start, tying for the Round 1 win when he covered Irish Rebel (Wilson Rodeo) for 84 points.

With an early pick in the championship round bull draft, Hansen elected to go head-to-head with Bull of the Year contender Langham Kid (Two Bit Bucking Bulls). A decision which proved dividends, Hansen remained in perfect time with the powerful animal athlete, matching him jump-for-jump en route to the whistle.

Marked an event-best 89.5 points, the 8-second effort cemented the tour stop win for Hansen.

The golden finish garnered Hansen a much needed 129 national points in the race to be crowned the 2023 PBR Canada Champion and earn the accompanying $100,000 bonus.

While he began the event ranked No. 13, the Albertan catapulted six positions climbing to No. 7 in Canada. He is now within 236 points of No. 1 Dakota Buttar (Eatonia, Saskatchewan).

Atop the standings, the Top 5 went unchanged. While No. 1 Buttar and No. 3 Nick Tetz (Calgary, Alberta) did not compete due to injury, No. 2 Cody Coverchuk (Meadow Lake, Saskatchewan), No. 4 Coy Robbins (Camrose, Alberta) and No. 5 Aaron Roy (Yellow Grass, Saskatchewan) were all shutout, failing to log a score and earn national points.

Returning to the top of the event leaderboard, Jake Gardner (Fort St. John, British Columbia) and Cody Fraser (Wilmington, South Australia, Australia) tied for second.

For Gardner, after tying for the Round 1 win via an 84-point ride aboard Whiskey Moon (Skori Bucking Bulls), he punctuated his outing inside Co-op Place with an 84.5-point ride atop Cadillac (X6 Ranch Bucking Cattle/Legend Rodeo Stock).

The perfect performance netted Garnder a much-needed 80 national points. On the bubble of qualifying for the 2023 PBR Canada National Finals in Edmonton, Alberta, Nov. 17-18 prior to the event, Garnder’s silver showing firmly positioned him inside the nation’s Top 17. Ranked No. 17 prior to the PBR Medicine Hat Classic, presented by Art’s Excavating, Gardner climbed to No. 14.

Surging Aussie Fraser also went 2-for-2 in Medicine Hat to collect 77 national points. He first rode Blurred Lines (X6 Ranch Bucking Cattle/Legend Rodeo Stock) for 80 points in Round 1, and then went on to deliver the second-best score of the event when he topped The Remedy (X6 Ranch Bucking Cattle/B2 Braithwaite Ranches) for 88.5 points in the championship round.

Fraser, who began the event outside of the Top 17 ranked No. 20, rose four spots to No. 16 in the national standings.

Fourth was Conner Halverson (Gordon, Nebraska).

After bucking off Pot Licker (X6 Ranch Bucking Cattle/S&E Bucking Bulls) in 5.03 seconds in Round 1, Halverson rebounded in resilient form in the championship round, topping Son Of A Sinner (Eno Bucking Bulls/Gaume Farms) for 85.5 points.

Collecting 38 national points, Halverson rose from No. 26 to No. 21 in the standings as he attempts to qualify for his first PBR Canada National Finals.

Rounding out the Top 5 in fifth was Jake Dunham (Tucson, Arizona).

Dunham’s 84-point ride atop Scootin Hell (Midnight Bucking Bulls) in Round 1 earned him 28 national points.

In the bull pen, Langham Kid was unrivaled, crowned the YETI “Built for the Wild” Bull of the Event. The powerful animal athlete posted a tour-stop best 44-point score in the championship round during his trip with Hansen.

The 2023 PBR Canada Sup Series, presented by Wrangler, will next travel to Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, and SaskTel Centre for the PBR Saskatoon Classic, presented by Redhead Equipment and Case IH. Marking the final Cup Series event of the regular season, competition will begin on Saturday, October 28 at 7:00 p.m. and Sunday, October 29 at 2:00 p.m. MT.

Getting Ready For Medicine Hat Moto Sports Triple Crown Arenacross

For the First time in Triple Crown Series History, Arenacross racing is coming to Medicine Hat, Alberta October 21 at Co-op Place.

The best riders in the nation will battle down to the wire for the Triple Crown Championship, in the tight confines of the Co-op Place. Can't wait for this event. It will be one to check off our bucket list! 

Bar banging, high flying action that we can't wait to see...and am sure we will need to bring the ear plugs LOL

And Now We Have Two!

And now we have two! 

So we had started renovating the rv we had showed you all last time....and realized it was just too small for us so we decided to hault the renovations and look for another bigger one. We found another at a nice price that was decent for us..but still stuck with number 1. The first one was a 24 foot and the new one is 28.

Despite the sweet deal we got with the first one, we still needed to put $6,000 into it to get it to something decent and reliable. End of season now though and we are still trying to sell.  We have added a bit onto the selling price for the 2 months of labor Gerry did on it..but no luck yet. Planning a trip out of town in a couple of days though with the second one. It didn't need as much work done to it.. and some things are cosmetic and can wait. We're planning a trip into the USA for some shopping..( Walmart USA LOL) but also see the exchange rate is $1.35 for us so don't think it will be too far into the USA with those rates. It's been almost a year since we were there last, when we went as far as Kentucky and changed our minds- didn't stay the winter- and came home. 

Our daughter is also back staying with us now again. Moved from back home. She has a room in the basement but unfortunately the spiders also like to live there so we are doing our best to keep them away! And it's colder there.. but its not a dungeon lol.  Has a separate bath, living area and fireplace .

A few more days and it's our daughter's 1st wedding anniversary, and next month is the new baby boy!

Gerry and I also have health tests to do next month, the bull riding event, motocross event, and a show or two.

Weather has been staying relatively nice...but some leaves are turning yellow in the park..but not too bad. We're still having days where it's really still nice in the afternoon to still wear shorts even.

PBR Canada’s Elite Cup Series Bucks Back to Medicine Hat, Alberta, for Third Time in History Oct. 14

Super excited to hear that for the third time in history, PBR (Professional Bull Riders) Canada’s elite Cup Series, presented by Wrangler, will be coming to Medicine Hat, Alberta, returning to Co-op Place on October 14 with the PBR Medicine Hat Classic!

Last year we attended our first ever bull riding event and loved it! 

For one night only, fans will witness exhilarating 8-second rides and wrecks throughout the action-packed event as the PBR’s courageous bull-riding athletes face off against their 1,800-pound opponents bred to buck.

The Medicine Hat event will mark the eighth event of the 10-event 2023 season for the PBR Canada Cup Series, presented by Wrangler. Prior to travelling to the Alberta city, the Cup Series will visit seven towns across the provinces of Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, Ontario, and Saskatchewan.

Last season in Grande Prairie, Brock Radford (De Winton, Alberta) went a perfect 2-for-2 to win the PBR Medicine Hat Classic, and surge to No. 3 in the heated battle to be crowned the 2022 PBR Canada Champion.

Radford got off to an electric start in Round 1, delivering the fourth-best score when he conquered Devils Dues (X6 Ranch Bucking Cattle/Legend Rodeo Stock) for 84.5 points.

In the championship round, Radford earned his second score when he remained in perfect time with Look At This Dude (Two Bit Bucking Bulls), reaching the requisite 8 for 85 points to clinch the victory.

The golden finish garnered Radford a crucial 65 national points. He surged from No. 7 to No. 3 in the nation, climbing within a mere 40 points of the top spot.

Nick Tetz (Calgary, Alberta) parlayed his own 2-for-2 effort inside Co-op Place into a runner-up finish, overtaking Logan Biever (Claresholm, Alberta) for the No. 1 rank in the Canadian standings.

The 2018 PBR Canada Rookie of the Year first put points on the board in Round 1 when he covered Super Fly (Eno Bucking Bulls) for 82.5 points.

In the championship round, Tetz covered Bustin Rhymes (X6 Ranch Bucking Cattle/Legend Rodeo Stock) for 86.5 points to win the round and capture the podium finish.

The silver showing garnered Tetz a much-needed 57 national points. After traveling to Medicine Hat No. 2 in Canada, 54.5 points behind the top-ranked rider, Tetz surged to the No. 1 position in the nation.

The event in Medicine Hat contributed to one of the most intense national title races in the Canada’s history. Following a riveting regular season, nine riders traveled to the 2022 PBR Canada National Finals in contention to win the honor and accompanying $50,000 bonus.

Mounting a come-from-behind surge, Tetz emerged the 2022 PBR Canada Champion, surpassing regular-season No. 1 Dakota Buttar (Kindersley, Saskatchewan) and holding off a hard-charging Radford  in the final outs of the season.

When the season ended, Tetz finished 26.5 points ahead of runner-up Radford.

Thus far in 2023, Tetz is on pace to make history as the first rider to win the PBR Canada Championship in consecutive seasons. Courtesy of an event win at the second tour stop of the season in Lethbridge, Alberta, Tetz is No. 2 in Canada, 8 points behind the top position.

Jared Parsonage (Maple Creek, Saskatchewan) currently holds the No. 1 rank in the nation, a position largely earned via his Cup Series event win in Red Deer, Alberta, and a second-place result at the latest tour stop in Lethbridge.

The bull riding action for PBR Canada Cup Series’ Medicine Hat Classic, begins at 7:00 p.m. MDT on Saturday, October 14.

Tickets for the event can be purchased at the Co-op Place Box Office, and online at Tixx.ca.
