Chris Shivers

2013 CHRIS SHIVERS A once-in-a-generation rider, Chris Shivers is arguably among the greatest riders in the 20-year history of the PBR, making him an obvious inductee into the Ring of Honor along with the legendary likes of Jim Shoulders, Harry Thompkins, Larry Mahan and Charles Sampson. As well as Ty Murray and Jerome Davis. “There’s a pretty big list of guys that have done something special,” said Shivers, who’s never been comfortable being asked to talk about himself, “and that was a big part of my career, some meaning in it to be able to leave a mark.” Shivers, who retired in 2012 after competing in a record 15 World Finals, earned 93 90-point rides in his career while becoming the first PBR rider to reach the $1 million, $2 million and $3 million marks in career earnings. The two-time PBR World Champion won his first title in 2000. In 2003, he became the second two-time world champ in PBR history. Shivers earned two 96.5-point rides, including his first in 2000 on Jim Jam and his second on the 2012 Brand of Honor bull, Dillinger, in 2001.
