Tuff Hedeman

Richard Neale "Tuff" Hedeman (born March 2, 1963, in El Paso, Texas) is an American retired three-time PRCA World Champion bull rider, as well as the 1995 Professional Bull Riders (PBR) World Champion, and is the ambassador of Championship Bull Riding (CBR).〔(CBRBull.com – Welcome )〕
Previously, Hedeman was the president of the PBR and is known for having been one of Lane Frost's closest friends. He is of Swedish descent on his father's side.
==Professional career==
Hedeman won many junior rodeos in his youth. In 1980, he won the high school rodeo bull riding and All Around titles in New Mexico. He won the team roping title and All Around designation again in 1981. After high school, he attended Sul Ross State University in Alpine, Texas. At Sul Ross, he was a member of the rodeo team, competing in bronc riding, team roping, steer wrestling, and bull riding.
Hedeman filled his PRCA permit at one rodeo in 1983 as a bronc rider. He was known for riding bulls that often had not been ridden. He often traveled with fellow bull riders and close friends Lane Frost, Cody Lambert, Jim Sharp, Clint Branger, and Ty Murray to save travel expenses. He married Tracy Stepp in May 1986. He qualified for eleven NFRs. By 1993, he had surpassed $1,000,000 in career earnings and won the 1986, 1989, and 1991 world titles in the PRCA. A neck injury at the National Finals Rodeo in 1993 kept him out of the arena for the entire year of 1994. In 1994, he was portrayed by Stephen Baldwin in the film ''8 Seconds'' about the life of Lane Frost. He was actually a stunt double for Baldwin.
Hedeman was instrumental in starting the Professional Bull Riders. In 1995, he won the PBR world Championship despite an encounter with Bodacious that resulted in numerous broken bones in his face. He just missed winning the PBR world title in 1996, losing to Owen Washburn as he came in second. He then finished third in the world during the 1997 PBR season. His last ride was at the PBR Bud Light Cup Series event in Odessa, Texas, in 1998, when he landed on his head after getting thrown off and herniated a disc in his previously injured neck. After some consideration, he officially retired in 1999. He was leading the PBR World Standings in 1998 at the time of his injury.
Hedeman is one of only seven riders to have ever ridden Bodacious, with the stand-out ride being a 95-point ride at a 1993 Bull Riders Only (BRO) event in Long Beach, California. However, his more familiar encounter with him happened in the short-go of the 1995 PBR World Finals in Las Vegas, Nevada. He was jerked down by him upon exiting the chutes and struck his face on his head, shattering every major bone in his face. He managed to walk out of the arena, albeit a bloody mess. He required several hours of reconstructive surgery for his face, and less than two months later, he was riding again. At the National Finals Rodeo (NFR) later that year, he drew Bodacious again, this time in round 7 of the NFR. He decided to turn him out – getting off of him when he left the chute. He then tipped his hat to him and received a standing ovation for his decision. He did this at the request of his son when Bodacious smashed his face earlier that year.
