šļø Episode 39: Lane Frost, Bull Riding Legend
š¢ Episode Summary:
This episode of This Week in The West honors bull riding legend Lane Frost on the anniversary of his tragic death in 1989. We tell the story of Frostās early life, raised in a rodeo family and already winning events as a child. With a magnetic personality and unstoppable talent, Lane quickly rose through the rodeo ranks, winning a world title in 1987 and capturing fans' hearts across the country.
A defining chapter in Laneās career came in 1988 with the Challenge of the Championsāan epic showdown between man and beast, as Lane faced the unbeatable bull, Red Rock. In seven matchups, Lane succeeded in doing what no cowboy had ever done: ride Red Rock for a full eight seconds. Their battle captivated national attention, symbolizing Laneās grit and showmanship at the height of his career.
Tragically, Laneās life was cut short at age 25 after a fatal accident at the Cheyenne Frontier Days Rodeo. Though he died young, his legacy has lived onāin safety innovations like the protective vest designed by his friend Cody Lambert, in honors like the PBR award named after him, and in the hearts of fans through the film 8 Seconds. The National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum proudly preserves Lane Frostās memory with artifacts from his remarkable life.
