Jacek Frost entered the Pendleton Round-Up sitting outside of the Top 15 in the World but one 86.5-point ride and one 87.5-point later, he is now your No. 10 ranked bareback rider in the World.
“I saw Keenan [Hayes] get on it, I think last year, ’24, at Fort Worth. It was right around to the right, kind of same thing and it was really good,” Frost says about his Short Go matchup, Side Show and Macza Pro Rodeo.
Frost has been just shy of a National Finals Rodeo qualification the last two seasons but this win put the Thomas and Mack directly in sight for the three-year PRCA veteran.
“It’s really not a mindset change. You’ve just got to keep on riding and keep on trying to keep your hand shut, and ride everyone the same. I’m blessed I finally drew some good one,s and everything is rolling right now,” he said.
Frost is riding the winning momentum from Puyallup and Pendleton as he heads into the final two weeks of the season with a huge chance for his first career NFR.
