Langham, SK: They kicked the tires and lit the fires tonight in Langham, SK for the Transall Second Annual Curtis Leschyshyn Invitational PBR.
Fans were treated to Moto-Cross and bull riding just south of Langham as the 2013 3D Bull Riding Tour continued today. This event marks the second year former NHL defenseman and Stanley Cup winner, Leschyshyn, hosted a PBR event.
The long round had ten qualified rides, led by Zane Lambert who continued a strong 2013 with an 84.5 on Smoke Ring.
Josh Birks followed with an 84 on Abu.
Max Fortmuller made a good ride but got his spur hung in the flank on his way off Pank’s a Clown.
A couple of Saskatchewan riders took advantage of home field and covered the long round including Tanner Byrne, Justin Lloyd and Aaron Roy.
Roy however, declined an 83 early in the short round and bucked off of his re-ride. Justin Lloyd was stymied by a gate foul while under Wonder Boy, costing him a second ride.
Prince Albert’s Tanner Byrne was the only qualified ride in the short go with an 87 on Trendon for a total of 170.5 on the night and $3,400 to his earnings. He voiced his appreciation for the fan support of the sport here in Saskatchewan, Curtis’s event and recalled having had success on Trendon before.
