Meet Your Austin Gamblers: Champions Born in Texas
Austin’s first and only professional bull riding team, and one of the now ten teams in the PBR Camping World Team Series, the Austin Gamblers. The two-time regular season champions include the world’s best bull riders, coached by PBR legend, co-founder, and world champion Michael Gaffney. Assistant Coach Adriano Moraes made history as the very first PBR World Champion and a three-time world champion. Leading the team is Captain Jose Vitor Leme, fresh off securing his third individual PBR World Championship, an achievement that places him in an elite group with Moraes and Silvano Alves. Leme, a two-time league MVP, is joined by a formidable cast of fellow PBR superstars: Dalton Kasel, Kaique Pacheco, and Sage Kimzey.
