Kaue Flora successfully rode two bulls on his way to winning The Next Gambler professional bull riding competition on Saturday, June 14, at The Williamson Expo Center in Taylor.
Flora, a Brazilian who currently lives in Gainesville, was the only one of 33 riders invited from around the world, to make the eight seconds on each of his rides. With the win in the individual competition, Flora has a chance to claim a provisional spot on the defending champion, star studded Austin Gamblers professional bull riding roster.
“Whenever you see someone cover two bulls in one competition, it raises your eyebrows,” said Austin Gambler head coach and PBR Hall of Famer Michael Gaffney. “You are always looking for someone with that kind of mental toughness and big-time ability to perform under pressure.
