The Mobridge Rodeo Association is please to announce that they have secured a contract with Rocket Ryan.  Rocket Ryan brings a special flavor to the Mobridge Sitting Bull Stampede, and the association is very excited to have signed him.

Bozeman, Montana, Originally from upstate New York, “Rocket Ryan” has made his home off the road in Bozeman, Montana for the last decade. Quickly becoming one of the industry’s most recognizable barrelman, Ryan is a true entertainer combining quick wit, crowd interaction and high energy into each and every performance. Ryan works hard to bring something different to the events he works, he doesn’t believe the same old thing is good for the industry anymore and crosses over traditional barriers to bring our sport into the future. Rodeo Producers, promoters and fans everywhere are taking notice of this exciting young barrelman.

Ryan has been honored with the Northern Rodeo Association’s 2002 “Funnyman Of The Year” award and in 2004 the World Professional Bullriders chose Ryan as their finals barrelman. In 2005 Rocket Ryan earned his PRCA card and began to work with Championship Bull Riding (CBR) as their Team ASE Barrelman and was seen weekly on the Outdoor Channel for two years. Rocket is a two time CBR World Finals Barrelman and has worked every major PBR Enterprise & Challenger tour event in the country. Traveling year round, Rocket Ryan entertains fans at PRCA rodeos and PBR events across the country.

When he is not at a rodeo or bull riding event, Ryan is a hunting guide and an Outdoor television producer, host and cameraman. Rocket Ryan and his Outback Outdoors team have launched a web based hunting show that can be seen at Mossy Oak.com.
