Tyler Menninga (Grave Digger) had the hot hand, with sweeps in Racing and Freestyle for the weekend. Menninga garnered the Saturday event championship, but his attempt to sweep was thwarted by Mark List (El Toro Loco) on Sunday. List thrilled the fans of the crazy bull with consistent performances capped by a Skills championship. The Saturday Skills competition title marked the first stadium win ever for ThunderROARus and the keeper of the beast, Colt Stephens.
