There is no doubt in Elsie Frost’s mind that her son, Lane,
would most likely be raising bulls and be involved with the
bull riders that started the PBR. “He would be involved
in rodeo no matter what,” Mrs. Frost said. “I am sure he
is looking down now and thinking, I never thought this
would happen. It’s been so long, 29 years, and people
still know who he is. It’s been a shock to us. These young
guys pay so much respect to Lane.”
From the beginning of his career, Lane Frost had
established himself as an accomplished bull rider. He was
a National High School Bull Riding Champion in 1981;
the 1987 PRCA World Champion Bull Rider; and he
conquered the legendary bull, Red Rock, four times.

Not only was he riding well, Lane was known as a really
good guy to his friends, his fans and his family.
“I was thinking about Lane because Cheyenne ended
today. I remembered a story to share. One time Lane was
at a Mike Cervi rodeo somewhere. The bareback riding
started and there was no one on the stripping chute. Mike
was hollering for one of his hands to get to the stripping
chute. Lane was nearby and said, "Never mind, Mike, I've
got it."
Mike said, "I can't believe a world champion bull rider is
working the stripping chute for me."
