The Professional Bull Riders (PBR) will surprise for three nights of dirt-flying, heart-pounding, bull-stomping action featuring the PBR’s finest athletes going head-to-head 8 seconds at a time. This event will take place Feb. 6-8 at Honda Center, Anaheim over 750 tons of dirt — 1.5 million pounds — will be needed to produce the nearly 8-inch base on the arena floor required for the three-day event. Some of “The Dirt Guys” will head this show but Professional Bull Riders Reese Cates and Robson Palermo talked to GalaTView exclusively to explain the ins and outs of the toughest sport on dirt.
