PBR 20/20: McBride sets $200,000 record

Few rides have been as dramatic in PBR history as the one Justin McBride made for $200,000 in Columbus, Ohio. Moments after the eventual two-time World Champion made the whistle for 93 points on Scene of the Crash in 2007, play-by-play broadcaster Craig Hummer said it had already been "a season of firsts and a season of milestones" for McBride as his best friends Ross Coleman and J.W. Hart, who customarily pulled his rope, were the first to greet him in the arena as confetti was strewn from above. McBride, who had already won a record eight Built Ford Tough Series events despite injuring his left shoulder at an event in Chihuahua, Mexico, capped off what many argue is the greatest regular season in the PBR's 20-year history with his ride on the Alpha Trade National Champion bounty bull. PBR fans will have an opportunity to watch the 2007 event from Columbus Wednesday night on RFD-TV with the continuation of the new series "PBR 20/20" at 8 p.m. ET...more
