MONTANASPORTS.COM: Flint Rasmussen: ‘I crave what we have in our lives’
By: Scott Breen
BILLINGS — Montana’s Flint Rasmussen said he can’t decide how excited he is about this weekend’s return of fans to the Professional Bull Riders’ arena.
“This is the longest I have not performed in the arena in 25 years,” Rasmussen lamented to MTN Sports this week.
The former Choteau school teacher has always been the show within the show since first arriving on the scene with rodeo and then exclusively with the Professional Bull Riders. Four months ago the show ground to an unsteady halt, initially without fans due to the coronavirus pandemic and then without bull riding.
“People have come to me and said, ‘Man, it’s tough on the rodeo business.’ I always call it the live event industry, which takes on pro sports, college sports, concerts, Broadway shows, any theater, rodeo … PBR. And I think we’re a little ways away from opening the doors,” Rasmussen said.
