John Crimber is widely regarded as a generational bull riding talent whose explosive arrival on the professional scene immediately reshaped expectations for the sport’s next era. Known for his swagger and grit—famously declaring at Madison Square Garden that he woke up thinking about “bubble gum and kicking ass… and I’m all out of bubble gum”—Crimber has backed up every bold word with high‑caliber performances.
Since making his professional debut, Crimber has rapidly become one of PBR’s most dominant young stars. He finished runner‑up in the world during his rookie season on the Unleash The Beast tour before being selected No. 1 overall in the PBR Teams New Rider Draft by the Florida Freedom, coached by his father. He went on to deliver an MVP‑level campaign for the team, riding at an impressive clip and leading the league in 90‑point rides while establishing himself as one of the most reliable finishers in the sport.
Crimber also became the youngest rider in PBR history to surpass the $1 million mark in career earnings, further solidifying his place as one of the sport’s fastest‑rising stars.
Before turning pro, Crimber began riding bulls at just 5 years old and earned national recognition early by winning the Mini Bull Riders Senior Division Championship in Las Vegas. He continued his dominance in the youth ranks by securing back‑to‑back National High School Rodeo Association bull riding titles, marking the start of a career defined by talent, toughness, and a relentless drive to win.
