Stats and Highlights from the 2026 Crossfire Bullriding Season
Now that the season has come to a close, it's time to look back at the numbers and highlights from the year across all nine Crossfire Bullriding events in 2026.
Highest Scored Ride of the Season
Brodi Beasley on MBB Sock Monkey - 90.5 points
On August 14 in Grunthal, MB, during the Championship Round at Hanover Ag's Bull Riders Canada Invitational, Brodi Beasley rode MBB Sock Monkey. The bull scored 45 while Brodi scored a season high of 45.5 to reach a total of 90.5 points. It's not only the highest of any Crossfire event, but it remained the highest score of the entire 2026 BRC regular season!
Most Successful Rides at an Event
Hanover Ag's BRC Invitational Day 1 - 16 total rides
Day 1 of Hanover Ag’s Bull Riders Canada Invitational counted the most successful rides in a single performance this season at 16 rides on 36 outs, a 44% ride percentage. In Round One alone, half of the 18 riders were able to cover, giving a 50% success rate, the best opening round in 2026.
Event with the Toughest Bulls
North Norfolk Bull Bash - 7 successful rides
Just like last year, the bulls came to win in MacGregor, MB. With just a 23% success rate over 30 outs, the bulls showed their talent. Jace Beierbach would go on to win the event with just a single ride of the night, his 84.5 on MBB Los Endos in the Long Round. With only one successful ride in the Championship Round, MacGregor continues to be an arena for riders to test their grit.
Top Rookie Performance
Brodi Beasley - Patricia, AB
In the 2026 season, one rookie dominated the standings. Just counting Crossfire events, Brodi had 11 successful rides on 13 outs, an incredible 85% ride rate! With an average ride score of 84.27, he was riding to win. He was the champion at two Crossfire events this season: Hanover Ag's BRC Invitational (335 on four) and The 807 Bulls and Barrels (340 on four). Brodi also finished the BRC regular season in first place with 17,465 points and over $80,000.
Top Bull of the Season
MBB Sock Monkey - two-time Bull of the Event
From Midnight Bucking Bulls, 910 Sock Monkey put up an amazing performance throughout the season. He was the highest marked bull at every Crossfire event he bucked at, with an average bull score of 44.83, the best of any bull with 3 or more outs. Though he was strong, he wasn't an impossible bull to ride as the two highest Crossfire scores of the season both came on him. He was also awarded the Bull of the Event at two events this year: Richer Rodeo Bullnanza and day 2 of Hanover Ag's BRC Invitational.
Top Overall Rider Performance
Kaden Piper - Stoughton, SK
Our pick for the top overall performance for a rider goes to Kaden Piper. Kaden is a staple at Crossfire Bullriding events, not only attending all of Crossfire's BRC events but also covering a bull at least once at each. Looking at Crossfire events, he had 14 rides on 19 outs, the most of any rider. He also posted an impressive 74% ride rate, averaging a ride score of 82.57, and a top season score of 88.5 on MBB Sock Monkey in Richer, MB. He won two event titles: Midale Bull Bash and Waskada Bulls on the Border. Kaden ended the BRC regular season in second place with 10,305 points and over $42,000, and attended 47 events, the most of any rider in the BRC.
It's great to look back at the highlights that make each season so exciting. We can't wait to kick it all off again in 2027, we'll see you then!
