Lane Strikes Again for Win in Bangor

By: Easton Colvin

BANGOR, Maine – As the dust settled inside Cross Insurance Center, the first fan-attended event at the venue since the COVID-19 pandemic began came to a close with PBR’s (Professional Bull Riders) Michael Lane (Tazwell, Virginia) standing victorious.

After going 0-for-2 on Friday and Saturday to start the four-round event, Lane put together a perfect championship Sunday to secure his second Pendleton Whisky Velocity Tour of the season.

Drawing Makavelli (Generations Pro Rodeo, Inc.) in Round 3 on Sunday afternoon, Lane made the 8-second whistle on the way to an 83.5-point score, cracking him into the Top 5 going into the championship round.

Tasked with the ever-challenging Pneu-Dart’s Coal Miner (Mike Miller Bucking Bulls) in the championship round, Lane made every second count on the way to an 89.5-point ride.

Lane’s victory came with 39 world points and a $7,668.38 check.

Round 2 winner Dalton Krantz (Somers, Iowa) finished the event in second place. Riding Crossfire Cowboy (Big Rafter Rodeo, LLC) for 84 points in Round 3, Krantz was the leader heading into the championship round.

But Cutthroat (Cornwell Bucking Bulls) proved too much for the Iowa cowboy on the final out of the weekend, dispatching him in 4.06 seconds.

Krantz earned 31 world points and a check for $6,134.70.

Grayson Cole (New Ringgold, Pennsylvania) had a perfect 2-for-2 performance on Sunday as well, putting him in third place for the event.

Bo Jangles (J Bar W) was his mount in Round 3, and the duo danced to an 81.5-point score. Sugar Boom Boom (Cornwell Bucking Bulls) was Cole’s opponent in the championship round, where he made the 8 for 87 points and second in the round.

Cole picked up 15 world points on the weekend and earned $3,764.48.

North Carolinian Seth White (Statesville, North Carolina) place fourth in the event. After a 72-point trip on Friday night aboard Mad Muley (Lucas Manning bucking Bulls), White added an 83.5-point ride in Round 3 on Yetti (J Bar W) to wrap up fourth place.

White added 12 world points to his 2021 total and took home $3,206.78.

2019 PBR World Finalist Dylan Smith (Ararat, Virginia) rounded out the Top 5 thanks to his 85.5-point taming of Slammer (Cornwell Bucking Bulls) in Round 3 on Sunday. However, he was unable to convert in Rounds 1 and 2.

Smith continues his hot summer run, adding 11 more world points to his 2021 total.

The 2021 PWVT schedule continues next weekend in Memphis, Tennessee as the toughest athletes on Earth will head to FedExForum on July 31.
