GLENDALE, Arizona – Get ready to welcome the bad boys of bull riding when PBRโs Unleash The Beast Ak-Chin Invitational presented by Cooper Tires takes over the Gila River Arena on January 19 and 20.
Arizona and Navajo Nation fans are set to raise the roof for 20-year-old Cody Jesus. The young gun from Window Rock hasnโt just been dreaming of a season like 2019 has been so far – heโs been seeing it, believing in it and working relentlessly for it since he was the 14-year-old rookie slinging piรฑon nuts and collecting aluminum cans to cash in for entry fees.
With a legit shot at all the marbles, Jesus bucked off in the championship round at Madison Square Garden earlier this month. Back in his home state, look for him to come back hard. Because itโs home? No. Because itโs this talented, fiercely committed young champion in the makingโs way.
โCody Jesus is a great young man with a bright future with PBR,โ Ak-Chin Indian Community Council Member Gabe Lopez said. โHe and the rest of the Native American bull riders have instilled pride in all Native American PBR fans.โ
On the four-legged contestant side, look for more Native American champions as 8-time PBR Stock Contractor of the Year Chad Bergerโs selection of hot and juicy bucking bulls make their way out of the blizzard in Chicago to relax in Arizona for a few days before exploding under the best the PBR has to offer.
Cooper Tires is more than a time-honored, valued sponsor of the Professional Bull Riders. Their product is depended on for safely transporting the heart and pride of the PBR in all weathers. When the show must go on, count on Cooper Tires. โAfter more than a century in the tire industry, we know that tires matter and thatโs why you should count on Cooper. Safety is our top priority, and weโre committed to ensuring your peace of mind.โ – Cooper Tires
