BULL RIDING VIDEO: Currently Viewing Kasey Hayes

Raised in the plains of western Kansas, Kasey Hayes topped his first steer at the age of 9. My dad used to ride bulls but he didnt pressure me to start riding really young. So, when I was 9, I told him I wanted to try it, and he helped me learn the basics. With the guidance of his father, Hayes progressed to junior bulls and then big bulls. He won the bull riding title in the Kansas High School Rodeo Association his senior year after finishing as reserve champion the two years prior. The most serious injury of his career came at the age of 12 at an open bull riding in Kingman, Kansas. The bull jerked me down and we hit head to head. I got a concussion and it fractured my skull. The injury only put me out for two weeks but I had to ride with a face mask, and Ive been wearing it ever since. One of a few PBR bull riders to win the first Built Ford Tough Series event he attended, Hayes took Tulsa by storm in July of 2006. I went in to Tulsa thinking it was just another bull riding. I just drew the right bulls and took it one ride at a time. The strategy paid off as the Kansas cowboy won the the third round on Page & Teagues Wild One with a 90-point ride, and earned more than 000 for the event championship.
