Competitive and ambitious

He has had an impressive career since a very young age. He was selected first overall in the PBR team league draft in 2024 and won the PBR World Championship in 2026. Competition is a central part of his life.

Very close to his father

Paulo is not just his coach: he's a fundamental figure in his development. John has publicly acknowledged how much Paulo means to him and dedicated his world title to him.

Confident, playful, and passionate

His official profile describes him as someone who combines confidence and sincerity: he can joke around with his teammates and fully concentrate when it's time to compete.

American-Brazilian cowboy

*Full name: João Ferreira Parolin Crimber.

• Birth: August 11, 2005.

*Current age: 21 years.

• Place of upbringing: Decatur, Texas, USA.

*Height: approximately 1.70 m.

• Riding hand: left.

Father: Paulo Crimber, former professional jockey and trainer.

• Texan accent with Brazilian roots: Although born and raised in Decatur, Texas, his family background is deeply Brazilian. This gives him a distinctly Southern American accent, but with expressions, warmth, and a bilingual background inherited from his parents.
• Humility and faith: Despite the immense media frenzy surrounding him, he stands out as an extremely polite, courteous, and down-to-earth young man. In his interviews, he never comes across as arrogant or conceited. He always begins or ends his statements by thanking God for keeping him safe and guiding his steps.
• Dual facets (Swagger and Sincerity): His teammates and analysts describe his speech as combining a very relaxed charisma ("swagger") when he jokes around or spends time with his team, but instantly shifting to a formal, mature, and focused tone when analyzing riding technique or bull behavior. His emotions surface whenever he speaks of his father, Paulo, declaring with deep feeling that his triumphs are fulfilling the dream his father's career couldn't complete due to injuries.

• Mental preparation: Before the gate opens, he is characterized by a cold and calculating mindset. He completely clears his mind inside the wooden box (bucking chute), concentrating solely on doing his job without letting external pressure affect him.

• Pre-competition fuel: His curious pre-competition feeding ritual includes bags of Hot Cheeto Puffs, Nerds Gummy Clusters gummies and a Monster Energy drink.

• Soundtrack: He usually isolates himself with headphones listening to a very particular playlist that he himself defines as "rap and heartbreak" (a combination of hard hip-hop from NBA YoungBoy and melancholic country music from Megan Moroney).

• Celebration: When he completes the regulation 8 seconds, he usually leaps explosively off the bull, lands on his knees, lets out a powerful shout, and points directly to the sky in thanks. Furthermore, after winning his 2026 world championship, he joked about his habit of sleeping and "spooning" all night with his new gold belt buckle.

• Physical resilience: He has a habit of downplaying serious injuries, seeing them simply as part of the job. He has competed and returned to the ring after suffering fractures to his eye socket, lumbar vertebrae (L3 and L4), ribs, and collarbone.

Despite his young age, Crimber has shattered multiple precocity records in professional rodeo:

• PBR World Champion (2026): He conquered the pinnacle of professional bull riding at Dickies Arena, becoming the second youngest rider in history to win the coveted world gold buckle.

• Million Dollar Club Record: He is the youngest athlete in PBR history to surpass one million (and later two million) dollars in professional earnings, achieving this between the ages of 18 and 19.

• The King of Teams (PBR Teams): Drafted in the first round overall by the Florida Freedom team (coached by his father). He was named Regular Season MVP in 2024 and 2025, as well as Team Series Championship MVP in 2024. Due to his amazing effectiveness in clutch postseason moments, he earned the nickname "Mr. October".

• Maximum Score: He recorded an impressive 95-point ride on the bull Big Bank at AT&T Stadium.

• Beginnings: Two-time National School Rodeo Association (NHSRA) world champion in 2021 and 2022 before making his professional debut at age 18.

Beginnings and Youth Stage (2010–2023)

• Sheep and "Mini Bulls": He began his journey at age 5 riding sheep (mutton busting), accumulating more than 20 junior titles. He quickly rose through the ranks and in 2019 was crowned champion of the Mini Bull Riders (MBR) Senior Division in Las Vegas.
• High School Dominance: In his teens, he dominated the high school circuits. In 2021, he was named Texas High School Rodeo Association (THSRA) Rookie of the Year and won the National High School Rodeo Association (NHSRA) bull riding national titles consecutively in 2021 and 2022.
• The leap to the big leagues: Before reaching adulthood in 2023, he dominated the PBR's Challenger Series minor circuit, winning 9 individual events and finishing as number 2 in the global ranking of that division.

🚀 The Professional Advancement and PBR Teams (2024–2025)

• The Draft and Epic Debut: Upon turning 18, he debuted in the elite Unleash The Beast division. His impact was so immediate that he finished as the world runner-up in his rookie year. Immediately afterward, he was selected as the number 1 overall pick in the PBR Teams Draft by the Florida Freedom, a team managed by his own father, Paulo Crimber.
• Establishment as "Mr. October": During the team league seasons, Crimber established himself as the most dominant competitor under pressure. He was named PBR Regular Season MVP in 2024 and 2025, and also won the Team Championship MVP award in 2024 after securing multiple game-winning rides for his team.

👑 The Ultimate Glory (2026)

• PBR World Champion: In May 2026, at just 20 years and 9 months old, John Crimber reached the pinnacle of his career at Dickies Arena in Fort Worth, Texas. After overcoming emotional and physical setbacks throughout the year, he closed out the World Finals in masterful fashion, achieving a spectacular 92.90-point ride on the bull Tigger in the championship round.
