PORTLAND, Ore. – When the PBR (Professional Bull Riders) Pendleton Whisky Velocity Tour (PWVT) returns to Moda Center on January 6, 2024, Oregon fans will once again get to experience the intensity of the world’s best bull riders and the sport’s most talented animal athletes at the PBR: Portland Classic.
Event goers in Portland will be on the edge of their seats as riders vie for crucial world points in the race to be crowned the 2024 PBR PWVT Champion at the end of the season. This all started with 20 cowboys breaking away from the traditional rodeo with the dream that bull riding could be a standalone sport. Today, PBR is seen in 130 counties and territories around the world, and the 2024 season will mark the 31st anniversary of that dream’s reality.
In 2023, when the PWVT last visited Portland, an electric crowd was in the house on Saturday night to watch Connor Halverson (Gordon, Nebraska) secure the fourth PWVT event win of his career. Halverson was one of only three athletes to successfully go 2-for-2 in Oregon last year as the talented bovines showcased their high-flying athleticism.
On Saturday, Jan. 6, riders from around the world will attempt the win in hopes of climbing the world standings. In Round 1 at Moda Center, 40 riders will be paired with one bull each. Following the opening round, the Top 10 will then advance to the Championship Round where they will attempt one final bull, all in an effort to be crowned the event champion.
