Flint Rasmussen was born January 25, 1968, and grew up in Choteau, Montana, where he was an all-state football and track star in high school. An honor student at the University of Montana Western with a double major in history and math, Rasmussen taught school in Havre, Montana, before joining the PRCA in 1994 as a rodeo clown.
An eight-time PRCA Clown of the Year and seven-time Coors Man in the Can, Rasmussen was an NFR barrelman eight times — making his first appearance in 1998 — and a three-time Canadian Finals Rodeo clown. He worked many major PRCA rodeos, including the National Western Stock Show & Rodeo in Denver, Colorado; Cheyenne Frontier Days in Cheyenne, Wyoming; the Calgary Stampede in Calgary, Alberta, Canada; the Reno Rodeo in Reno, Nevada; and the Pendleton Roundup in Pendleton, Oregon. In addition, Rasmussen was featured at the PBR World Finals 26 times.
Since 2004, Rasmussen has hosted “Outside the Barrel” at the NFR and has a large following on his weekly “According to Flint” podcast. He also hosts programming on the new “Wild Rides” TV channel and, in 2023, he became a full-time PBR commentator and sideline reporter at Cheyenne Frontier Days. Rasmussen is most proud, however, of his family, especially his two daughters, Shelby and Paige, who were both on the 2021 Montana State Women’s National Championship Rodeo Team.
Today, Rasmussen lives in Fort Worth, Texas.
