About Me

Hello everyone! My name is Tony Mendes. I am a professional bull rider competing in the PBR.

Everyone calls me the “Wild Man” because of the energy I display inside and out of the arena. It's common to find me dancing around the arena and cheering on my fellow bull riders.
I LOVE THIS SPORT!!!
I started riding at age 3 on top of a sheep. My dad and grandfather rode bulls, and my older brother Scott rode too. I guess I just wanted to be like them.
Over the years I progressed from sheep to calves and then to steers before climbing on my first bull at age 14.My role model was my dad because he's honest and hard-working. But I always have looked up to Lane Frost. I met him at the Finals in 1985, and I showed him a buckle I had won! One thing I remember about Lane is how nice he was to me.I qualified for my first PBR World Finals in 1999. There I recorded a 93.5 score atop the 1,900-pound Clayton's Pet of Salt River Rodeo Company during that competition.
That ride still stands out as the most memorable of my PBR career to date!
