Cowboys of Thunder

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.
