Flint Rasmussen – Rodeo Clown

One of the most fun things about going to Professional Bull Riding (PBR) events is watching the rodeo clown Flint Rasmussen.

Unfortunately he had a heart attack in March of this year, which he attributes to stress, but is “back in the saddle” and performing again. Welcome back Flint!

From Wikipedia:
“Flint Rasmussen is perhaps the most famous “rodeo clown” or “rodeo barrelman” in the sport of bullriding.

Long associated with the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association, Rasmussen earned the title of PRCA Clown of the Year for eight consecutive years and won the Coors Man in the Can honors seven times.

A former high school math and history teacher, Rasmussen signed a contract with Professional Bull Riders and currently provides entertainment at their events. Rasmussen and his wife, Katie, have two daughters, Shelby and Paige. Flint and his family currently reside in Choteau, Montana.”

From the PBR website:
“Rasmussen, a former drama and track star, combines his comedic talents and natural athleticism to entertain and generally captivate the crowd at packed arenas all over the country. Rasmussen was an all-state football player in high school, participating in band and choir as well. While attending Western Montana College in Dillon, he was a member of the jazz choir, played intra-mural sports, and worked the microphone as a public address announcer during college football and basketball games.”
