Fun Facts about R.C.: When R.C. won the National Intercollegiate Rodeo Association bareback riding title in 2009, there were a lot of high hopes for his career. That was his first full year of competition in the PRCA and the talented cowboy was also riding bulls. The very next year he had serious injuries from a bull riding incident. Then in 2011 was in a car accident that left him in a wheelchair while he recovered from injuries to his leg. Then in 2012, his mom, Wendy Skiver, was diagnosed with cancer. It took him four years, but he got to ride in the famed yellow bucking chutes in December of 2016 with his Mom cheering from the stands. Now she is his angel. He qualified again in 2017, then had a four-year break recovering from multiple shoulder surgeries. R.C. was born in Red Bluff, California, moved to Oregon and then back to California. He makes his home near Hat Creek with his wife Bliss and their son Wynn. His favorite rodeo is California Rodeo Salinas and he got to mark that off of his bucket list in 2022. When he’s not competing in the arena, he stays busy being a ranch cowboy.
