Talking “Bull” with Brayden

Hi my name is Brayden Hollywood Brown and I’m a miniature bull rider. Today we are going to continue the old timer series with Adriano Moraes. So let’s get into it. Adriano has so many accomplishments that it will be hard to cover them all, but we are going to do as many as we can. In one season he made $1.36 million. That’s a lot of round and event wins, plus a title. That’s not a bad season of bull riding. When Adriano ended his bull riding career in 2006 he had made $3.37 million. Moraes was inducted into the Bull Ridng Hall of Fame in August 2020. Adriano’s highest scored bull ride

Moraes rides Promise Land for 95 points.

was on Promise Land for 95 points in 2000 in Houston, Texas. Promise Land, back then, was the bull that if you rode him you knew it was going to be big. Moreas has 2 NFR bull riding titles and was the first man to ever have 3 world titles in the PBR. Adriano now announces the PBR on Ride Pass in Brazil. I think it is great the PBR is broadcasting in Portuguese. He also sometimes makes appearances on CBS Sports Network and the English language version of Ride Pass. The few times I’ve gotten to meet and see Adriano, he is a good family man who loves the sport. Mr. Moreas normally visits his family in Brazil regularly but, due to Covid, has only got to go over there once or twice since the pandemic. Thanks for reading.
