Demo made points toward his PRCA world standings after a fierce ride against the bull Honey Badger, scoring 82.5 points. Other riders who competed included Kyle Eaton, Toby Hale, T.J.

Denton plans to organize the next Sutter Buttes Showdown in Yuba City in May, aiming for smooth events with no lulls and perfect timing.
