BISMARCK, N.D. – Two-time World Champion J.B. Mauney and his son, Jagger, have quite the naptime routine together.

It should come as no surprise that the father and son duo will pull up YouTube on Mauney’s cell phone and watch old bull riding clips of legends such as Jerome Davis, Tuff Hedeman and Cody Lambert.

Those old school cowboys have always preached about never giving up and always bringing your best to the arena when it is time to nod your head.

Jagger is still only almost 5 months old, and he has a long way to go before deciding if he will follow in his father’s footsteps and become a bull rider, but J.B. knows a few characteristics that he wants to instill in his son through the years.

“You try. You don’t quit,” Mauney said. “That is how I made my whole career. Everything I have ever done in my career was off of try and not letting go. Being a cowboy about it. As long as he goes at it like that, he go about whatever he wants in life.”

Mauney always works to instill those same traits in his daughter, Bella, and the future PBR Ring of Honor inductee loves nothing more than being able to spend time with his kids.

The 32-year-old father was happy to have his wife, Samantha, and Jagger with him this weekend in Bismarck, North Dakota, for Chad Berger’s annual Touring Pro Division event.

“It’s cool,” J.B. said. “It is a little more work, but it isn’t too bad. Not a whole lot (of dad duties). Samantha takes care of him most of the time. I am part of naptime; we watch bull riding all day. He will sit there and watch bull riding for a long time.”

Mauney was the captain of Team WSM Auctioneers, which finished in fifth place in the team-formatted event.

It wasn’t the kind of showing Mauney would have liked for the team nor himself.

The weekend ended on a sour note for Mauney as South Texas Gangster busted open his face, just to the left of his left eye, when he rocked him forward in the bucking chutes.

Mauney, who also bucked off Red Dawn in 7.19 seconds on Friday night, was unable to continue in the event because of the open wound. He eventually was able to get stitched up and expects to be OK.

Yet just as he is teaching his son about not giving up, you can expect the same from Mauney.

He may have had his head busted open, and a weekend of struggles, but he is not quitting any time soon.

He is going to keep on trying and keep on battling.

Mauney has no plans on quitting despite a multitude of injuries to his groins, knees, ankles, wrist, forearm and ribs in 2019.

The North Carolina bull rider looked down at his little boy, gave him a quick kiss on the forehead, and looked at Samantha late Saturday evening and smiled.

“Come on, let’s get out of here,” Mauney said.
