 With the crew from "CSI Las Vegas" shooting an episode at today's PBR World Finals, Rocky Rider Justin McBride (Elk City, OK) returned to the scene of the crime of his 2005 PBR World Title victory aboard his "accomplice" Boyd/Floyd/Paradise Farm's Camo to capture his second PBR World Title in three years. Just as he did in 2005, McBride once again sealed the deal for his second PBR World Title in the Built Ford Tough Championship round aboard Camo. This time he covered the bull with a 92.25 -- his fourth ride of 90 or better this week. It was a week of redemption for McBride after getting bucked on all three of his rides the previous weekend. McBride ended the 2007 Built Ford Tough Series (BFTS) season as its million dollar bonus baby. He finished atop the Built Ford Tough Series Point Standings with 14,820.25 while earning $1,860,321.26 "After the first week I remembered the advice Ty Murray had given me and that was to quit trying not to lose and start riding like I want to win," said McBride. "I put those first three rides from the first week behind me and took it one go-around at a time. I felt like I could break 90 before every ride this week. I paid for my 3,200-acre ranch with my winnings tonight." McBride is scheduled to have surgery on his left shoulder in early December. He is looking at six to eight months for recovery and rehabilitation after that. The 2007 PBR Built Ford Tough World Finals, and the winner's share of $225,000, was won by Wiley Petersen (Fort Hall, ID.). Petersen collected 531.25 points besting second place Guilherme Marchi (Leme, SP, Brazil) by 6.75 points. Petersen and Marchi were the only riders to surpass 500 points for the event. "I drew great bulls and stayed on them throughout the entire event," said Petersen who covered six of the first seven bulls he attempted going into the final short-go. "It's been a tremendous week where everything seemed to go my way." Thirteen of the season's top 45 riders successfully rode the rankest bucking bulls in today's seventh round, with the top 15 moving into the eighth and final championship round. Only three riders covered their short-go attempts. |
