We’re baaaaack! The 2025 Unleash The Beast season is officially a go as of this past weekend in Tucson, Arizona, and if event No. 1 is any indication, we’re in for a banger of a world title race. John Crimber wasted no time staking his claim, Kaiden Loud let his riding do the talking, and more. Miss a moment of the action this weekend? Here’s what happened around the PBR.
On the Unleash The Beast…
John Crimber may have fallen just short of the 2024 PBR World Championship, but he doesn’t want the same thing to happen this year. At the PBR Tucson, Crimber went 3-for-3 to take the event win – and an early lead atop the standings.
Crimber lost out to Cassio Dias for the world title this past May. But since then, the two have struck up a solid friendship off the dirt.
The first round win of the season went to Nashville Stampede superstar Kaiden Loud, who won Round 1 thanks to the first 90-point ride of the season.
