John Crimber Talks PBR World Championship, Florida Freedom & Buying 100 Cattle

At just 20 years old, John Crimber is a PBR World Champion and he's nowhere close to finished. The bull riding phenom joins the Like A Farmer Podcast to take us inside his incredible journey from getting on his first bull at just six years old to reaching the top of professional bull riding and capturing the 2026 PBR World Championship. John relives the dramatic World Finals where he entered the final weekend after bucking off four straight bulls, bounced back with two massive rides, and how he learned he'd become World Champion. He also reveals what a 20-year-old cowboy does after earning a $1 million World Championship bonus.

John talks about growing up in a bull riding family, the impact his dad has had as both a father and coach, joining the PBR immediately after turning 18, and why becoming World Champion hasn't made him satisfied. He wants MORE, including chasing multiple world titles and attempting to become the first rider to capture the PBR and PRCA World Championships in the same year. From million-dollar buckles to buying cattle, John Crimber is helping lead the next generation of professional bull riding and the World Champion is just getting started.
