Kaiden “K-Loud” Loud has been making noise in bull riding since his teenage years. A Kaufman, Texas, native, Loud dominated the high school ranks. His early success carried seamlessly into the professional ranks when, at just 18, he captured the 2023 Tuff Hedeman Bull Riding title in New Mexico. His breakout performance drew the attention of the Nashville Stampede, who selected him in the second round of the 2023 PBR Teams Draft. Loud made an immediate impact for the team, delivering his first 90-point ride on Boomerang during the Stampede’s home event in Nashville.

In 2024, Loud broke through individually, qualifying for his first PBR World Finals and finishing No. 6 in the world standings. Riding less than an hour from home, he went 3-for-4 to win the Eliminations stage in Fort Worth, highlighted by a career-best 91.75-point ride on Doze You Down, before finishing fourth in the Championship round at AT&T Stadium. That same season, the Stampede finished No. 7 in the league standings.

During the 2025 PBR Teams season, Loud battled through an ankle injury that landed him on the injured reserve far longer than he would have liked. Now healthy and hungry to return to form, he’s determined to pick up right where he left off.

Off the dirt, Loud stays close with his best friend John Crimber, often traveling and training alongside him. When he’s not chasing eight seconds, he’s grabbing Whataburger or a good Mexican meal, listening to Lil Baby, or joking about his longtime celebrity crush, Megan Fox. At just 20 years old, K-Loud has already proven he can handle high-pressure moments and big-time bulls—and when he’s not in the arena, you can usually find him shooting hoops on the Crimber barn basketball court, still smiling like the kid he is at heart.
