the first time. Custer acknowledged he was nervous and said this was "probably the biggest challenge in my life". Bodacious burst out of the chute, and then he jumped to the side once. Then he charged forward, which sent his rear legs over Custer's head. "For a moment, it looked as if Custer could withstand the force", but then he was thrown, a horn nicking his cheek. Custer only made two seconds on the bull. "I don't know," Custer said later, stunned, "He does something to get your feet behind you." 1994 also marked the first year that Bodacious also bucked on the PBR circuit. At an elite Bud Light Cup (BLC) event, Bullnanza in Guthrie, Oklahoma, the bull bucked off Jim Sharp in the short go-round. A few events later, Bodacious (identified on TV under the name Intrepid) bucked off California bull rider Sean McRoberts in under 3 seconds at the Boyz & the Bullz event in Rancho Murieta, California. Later on at Bullnanza Nashville in Nashville, Tennessee, Scott Breding bucked off Bodacious just short of the 8-second whistle, costing him the event win. Then later that year at a second PBR event in Guthrie, Oklahoma, 1994 PRCA World Champion bull rider Daryl Mills bucked off Bodacious. Finally, at the inaugural PBR World Finals in Las Vegas, Nevada, in the championship round, Clint Branger (who had successfully ridden the bull at Bullnanza in Guthrie, Oklahoma, in 1993) bucked off Bodacious just shy of the requisite eight seconds. This buck-off ultimately cost Branger the 1994 PBR World Champion title. Also, at the 1994 Bull Riders Only World Finals in Denver, Colorado, Bodacious bucked off Brent Thurman during the Championship round, just shy of reaching the eight-second mark. 1995 season Bodacious bucked on the PRCA and PBR circuits in this season. In February 1995, according to the cowboys, Bodacious "learned a new trick, a sort of stutter hop on his front legs, followed by a faster, more powerful lift with his head". In Lufkin, Texas, at a PRCA event, Bubba Dunn took Bodacious on for a second time, and he scored 93 points. During this ride, Bodacious "creased the brim of Bubba's hat and bruised his cheek". Dunn felt lucky those were his only injuries that day. "Bo was psychotic. He didn't like people." says Lambert. "If you were on his back, he wanted to hurt you." Dunn only attempted Bodacious
