Before the premiere, tune in for a special episode of Cowboys of Thunder live from Cowboy Channel Studios in Fort Worth. Coaches Ross Coleman and Luke Snyder talk about the first PBR Teams series with several of the riders from the team and discuss the upcoming season.
It's a new era. PBR Team Series is here and the Thunder is coming. Johnny Morris, with the help of Randy Bernard and legendary bull-riders, Luke Snyder and Ross Coleman are on the clock and won't stop until a superstar squad is assembled.
The Thunder has arrived. A world-class ride awaits. Johnny Morris has one piece of advice, "sleep when you're dead." No better home than right here. These are the times of their lives.
The inaugural season kicks off at the world's largest and most iconic outdoor rodeo and western celebration. It's the 126th Frontier Days from Cheyenne, Wyoming, dating back to 1897. Up first, a chance to make history in the place where it all started, at the "Granddaddy of 'em All."
Week 1 is in the books, and the boys are riding high. "When you consider yourself a professional athlete, you got to adapt like a professional athlete." Outlaw Days are here. What's in-store? A walk-off win and redemption while learning at every turn. Kansas City has it all.
Next up, it's the third stop of the inaugural Team Series, and there's no better place to be than shredding the waves and shredding the rides in Anaheim. Always bringing the heat, jacked up and fired up, the boys are primed to bring home the top spot.
The Thunder rolls into Nashville with a view from the top. One step closer, their eyes remain on the ultimate prize making every moment worth it. Memories made inside the arena and out, journey home with the Thunder's #1. A quarter of the way through the season, the boys make a pit stop to a special spot.
At the halfway point in the season, weathering the storm is taking its toll. (Philippians 4:13) - I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Where there's a will, there's a way. Believe that. Leaning on leadership in times of turmoil, the Thunder can turn to the 'Real Deal' to make it through.
Ready to Ride, Ready to Roll, days gone by it's the time of their life. Cowboy Days full speed ahead. Geared up, always learning. Attitude and effort, that's all there is to it. The Petri Perspective: Be a cowboy with a bulletproof mindset. Dream big or buck off. The work will pay off.
Bulls, Buck-offs, and Gators, oh my... it's stop number seven in OKC, and sooner or later, the toughest sport on dirt takes its toll with the Thunder forced to weather a storm of injuries. A wounded roster, yet never a broken team spirit. Counting on newcomers to step up in the clutch, Cowboy Up for one bumpy ride and scaly excursion. It's All 'Er Nuthin Time.
Rolling into Thunder Ridge, 'One Big Cedar Family' is back together again. Celebrating 50 years of Bass Pro, it's a homecoming like no other. One heck of a playing stage... the grand opening of NATURE'S ARENA. Come one, Come all. Hoop-Dee-Doo, Home Field of Dreams. "If you build it, they will come." The Walt Disney of the Outdoors with a scene from a storybook. See it for yourself.
"It's not the hat, the boots, or the buckle, it's the way you carry yourself, the way you take on every challenge that comes at you. No matter how the weather is, no matter the circumstance, as long as you have that grit and attitude, you're gonna make something of yourself." The trials and tribulations, mental pains inside the chutes and out, we have to rely on something stronger than ourselves. A look at life on the road, re-energizing rides, Primo's Rodeo Rig, and the historic Fort Worth Stockyards, things get spicy down the stretch.
On the road to Vegas, it's the final stop before all is said and done. The stakes couldn't be higher, and it's anybody's game as the regular season comes to an end. Moving and shaking it's time to get baking. Victory is sweet, and they can taste it. Thunder grooves and yoga moves, ice baths, and Donut's wrath. Let your riding do the talking, it's a language they all know. Slide Ride 'n React / Up, Down, Round Town / Root-A-Toot-Toot-Open the Chute / Hoop-Dee-Doo. Let the cream of the crop rise to the top. Just one event remains, time to stake their claim.
After six months, ten states, and 11 events, it all comes down to this. Thunder Road, sit tight, take hold. Don't stop. Buckle Up. We've only just begun. It's anyone's game, and an improbable run is made. Feeling good, feeling froggy, ready to jump to the top. Riding for their lives with fire in their eyes, it can all be over in the blink of an eye. First-class hands, world-class rides, time to put it all on the line. Win, lose or draw, be a Cowboy with a Show Me State of Mind.
In the Season 2 premiere, Ross and Luke are back to business. Making the grade doing their trade. Drafting up a new plan of attack, time for Team Thunder to run it back. Six months have passed. It's time again at last. A new class of cowboys ready to show their worth in the toughest sport on dirt.
First time on the water, first time on the green, first time in the USA, Big Cedar is the place to be. When you're outside, it's hard not to have a good time. Gear up. It's like Christmas in June. This time of year, the steaks are high. Before the season arrives, Team Thunder sure knows how to cook up a good time.
As the season approaches, communication is key. How much Portuguese does one man need? Putting in work at the Coleman Casa, Team Thunder is a tour de force that's charging. Don't matter if it's the practice pen, Nothin' But Try Ranch, or Cheyenne. This crew is made of Steele from beginning to end. Frontier Days are here. Daddy, give 'em strength.
After a weekend of rank rides, the boys are buckled up, and ready to turn their luck. Put in the work. Keep acting the part. Get one percent better every day. In 100 days, you're 100% better off. If we're only as good as our company, it's gonna be a good ride. Second stop of the season, time to kick it up a notch.
Close calls and house calls, another rank weekend in store. Team Thunder, young and full of fire. If life's a wave, enjoy the ride. Sink or swim, no matter what, making memories that last forever. Head to the crib with Cool Hand Luke before the cowboys venture west. This is the life they lead. In Anaheim, there's no ride quite like this.
When in last, the number one sin is worry, but don't worry about a thing. Win, lose, or draw every family needs a rock. The boys can turn to Mother Thunder anytime at any stop. If things get lost in translation, Ross knows how to move the team in the right direction. Stampede Days are here, and Team Thunder is rolling out.
Make mistakes, go make some steaks. Marcelo's in the middle with a lot on his plate. Communication is key as Team Thunder try to navigate their way out of the flames. Forbidden ranch romance, a visit from Wolfman, this is the life they love, and we gon talk about Bruno.
It's stop number six as the brotherhood strives to breed confidence amongst the group. Join Luke and Ross as they talk to Stock Contractor of the Year, Blake Sharp. Waking up with Kadeorade, welcome back Primo and JLC. It's a homecoming before the home event as a new face joins the team. Past the halfway point in the season and headed in the right direction. What do the Ozarks have in store? The countdown to Thunder Days is on.
Family, friends, and fans, it's a hometown vibe. There can be unrest in paradise when the party is Primo. Defend the castle, give 'em a show. Engaged in the majesty of the sights to behold. Big Cedar adventure, it's a weekend to remember. A family affair with good news to bear. Let the good times roll...Thunder Days are here.
Win, Lose or Draw, be a Cowboy. That's what's important in life. Show up early. Pay attention. Work hard. Carry yourself with respect. Ride and provide for your family. Leave it all out there. Lay it all on the line. Learn together. Grow together. Work for one another. With God on your team, what more could you need? It's a good day to have a great day. Get it on your mind. That's what it takes.
Lights, Camera, Action. Show Me State of Mind. How can you have a winning mentality when you can't get a ride? There's an elephant in a room full of bull riders. Things to workout when building strength of character. Best figure out before we run out of time. Where there's a will, there's a bull. We ain't got no quit. Cowboy Try. Keep the Faith.
It's the last stop before the final round. In the penultimate chapter, the team sounds off with motivation abound. We before me, every which way. If you make your sport bigger than life, you're going down the wrong direction. When you try to do right, it's paramount to see the light. We're not born by chance, we're born with a purpose. The ThunderKade is on a mission.
In a season that was anything but a fairy tale, there can be a storybook ending still. You reap what you sow. Off to Vegas, we go. Welcome to The Greatest Arena on Earth. Let's get ready to rumble.
