Paulo Crimber

During his career of more than a decade, Crimber, made an impact with PBR, winning five events across all levels of competition in the United States and Australia, and also excelled within the PRCA, qualifying for the National Finals Rodeo, where he won the prestigious event title in 2004.

In 2011, at the age of 28, Crimber’s career ended prematurely when he broke his C1 vertebra twice in one season. He had earned more than $1.11 million during his competitive career with PBR, positioning him inside the Top 50 of all-time money earners with the organization.

Since his retirement, Crimber and his wife Maria, who was honored with the Sharon Shoulders Award in 2023, have been an integral part of assisting and mentoring other Brazilian bull riders in their transition to the United States. Crimber also serves as the official translator for the PBR. Crimber hopes to inspire the next generation of cowboys as they work towards their career goals.

Crimber entered the next phase of his career in 2022 when he was named to the coaching staff for the Arizona Ridge Riders, helping lead them to a runner-up finish in the league in 2022, and a third-place finish in 2023. Prior to the start of the third season of the PBR Teams league, Crimber was announced as the Head Coach of the Florida Freedom beginning in 2024.
