About CINCH World’s Toughest Rodeo
While the rides may only last eight seconds, the show includes so much more. The evening will feature three fan-favorite events: bareback riding, saddle bronc riding and bull riding – known as one of the most extreme sports. Fast-paced and thrilling, 12 contestants enter the pen competing for a chance to partake in the final winner-takes-all showdown round.
The Rodeo also includes some of the fastest cowgirls and their animal athletes in the barrel racing. Those familiar with past World Toughest Rodeo shows get excited because the world smallest cowboy is returning – Whiplash the Cowboy Monkey, and his trusty steed (aka a dog) Boogie. (Click here to watch a video of Whiplash and Boogie in action!)
Also making an appearance is the Professional Rodeo Clown of the Year, Justin Rumford. And announcing the entire show is Anthony Lucia, a past Americans Got Talent contestant for his trick roper act.
