2nd Annual Twizted R Pro Rodeo: A Southern Showdown in Jasper, Alabama
The Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association proudly presents the return of professional rodeo action to Walker County
When the arena dust settles and the September sun begins to set over the Alabama hills, the 2nd Annual Twizted R Pro Rodeo will once again bring world-class rodeo competition to the heart of Jasper. Mark your calendars for September 19-20, 2025, as the Twisted R Arena transforms into a showcase of raw talent, western heritage, and edge-of-your-seat excitement that only PRCA-sanctioned rodeo can deliver.
Building a Tradition in Walker County
After a successful inaugural event, the Twizted R Pro Rodeo returns with even greater ambitions for its sophomore year. This PRCA-sanctioned event represents more than just competition—it's the continuation of a budding tradition in Jasper that celebrates the timeless spirit of the American West while bringing top-tier rodeo talent to Alabama's doorstep.
"The response from the community last year was overwhelming," shares a representative from the rodeo committee. "We're building something special here in Jasper—a rodeo that honors the traditions of the sport while creating new memories for generations of Alabama families."
With $9,000 in prize money on the line, competitors from across the Southeastern Circuit and beyond will converge on the Twisted R Arena, each vying for championship honors and valuable points toward PRCA world standings and circuit finals qualifications.
Championship Rodeo Action
As the sun dips below the horizon each evening, the real action begins. The 2nd Annual Twizted R Pro Rodeo will feature all seven classic PRCA events that test the skill, courage, and determination of today's top rodeo athletes:
Bareback Riding — Perhaps rodeo's most physically demanding event, where cowboys match their strength and technique against the explosive power of specially-bred bucking horses. With only a rigging to hold onto, these athletes endure bone-jarring rides that showcase the ultimate in controlled chaos.
Steer Wrestling — Known as the "big man's event," steer wrestling combines horsemanship, timing, and raw strength as cowboys leap from horseback onto running steers, bringing them to the ground in mere seconds.
Team Roping — The only true team event in professional rodeo, where precision and partnership between header and heeler determine success or failure in this lightning-fast display of roping skill.
Saddle Bronc Riding — Rodeo's classic event traces its roots directly to ranch work, as cowboys demonstrate grace and control atop wildly bucking horses in what many consider rodeo's most elegant rough stock competition.
Tie-Down Roping — A showcase of versatility where cowboys and their horses work in perfect harmony to rope and tie calves against the clock, demonstrating skills developed on working ranches across America.
Barrel Racing — The arena will thunder with hoofbeats as cowgirls and their equine partners navigate the cloverleaf pattern with blazing speed and precision, where mere hundredths of seconds separate champions from the field.
Bull Riding — The grand finale each night brings the crowd to its feet as cowboys face off against 2,000 pounds of twisting, bucking bovine power in rodeo's most dangerous and electrifying eight seconds.
Between the heart-stopping competitive events, fans will be treated to specialty acts and entertainment that showcase the lighter side of western heritage. The arena will come alive with the antics of rodeo clowns who blend comedy with the crucial role of bullfighting to protect fallen riders.
Stock Contractors: The Unsung Heroes
Behind every great rodeo stands a great stock contractor, and the Twizted R Pro Rodeo partners with some of the finest livestock providers in the business. These carefully selected contractors bring championship-caliber bucking horses and bulls that give competitors a fair chance at victory while challenging them to the limits of their abilities.
These animals are the true athletes of the rodeo world—bred, trained, and conditioned for the eight-second spurts of controlled fury that electrify crowds. Many have their own followings among rodeo fans who recognize them by name and reputation, just like the cowboys who attempt to ride them.
The stock contractor's expertise ensures that each performance delivers the perfect balance of competition and entertainment, with animals that perform consistently while showcasing the skill required by cowboys and cowgirls to make a qualifying ride.
More Than Just Competition
While championship rodeo action forms the heart of the weekend, the 2nd Annual Twizted R Pro Rodeo offers a complete western experience that extends far beyond the competitive events.
Arrive early to experience the pre-rodeo atmosphere, where the grounds come alive with the sights, sounds, and smells that make rodeo a feast for the senses.

Families will find plenty to keep young buckaroos entertained, with activities designed to introduce the next generation to western heritage and rodeo traditions. The family-friendly environment ensures that rodeo newcomers feel just as welcome as lifelong fans.
After each performance, the celebration continues with opportunities to meet competitors, take photos, and experience the camaraderie that makes the rodeo community so special.
