Ryan Dirteater is a 12-time PBR World Finals qualifier that retired 14 months ago and now he is the Global Cup Coach of Team USA Wolves.
The PBR Global Cup makes bull riding a team sport and the teams are by nation. There are five bull riders on every team and the talent on each team is top notch.
Dirteater’s team, Team USA Wolves, is made up completely of Native American bull riders. Stetson Lawrence and Keyshawn Whitehorse are on the roster, but Dirteater was waiting to fill the last hole until after the Sacramento Unleash the Beast that took place over this past weekend.
“The Global Cup is a huge event to win and I want to be ready. I want my guys to be ready too, I know they will, they work hard, they’re dedicated to the sport and great athletes,” Dirteater said.
There is prize money, trophies and bragging rights to be won come March 5.
