Dear Ridge Rider Nation, 
2023 wasn’t an easy one. After coming up just short of a PBR Teams Championship title in 2022, we were more determined than ever to make a run at another title. But we’ll be the first to tell you, we started off slow. It wasn’t the start we hoped for and we know it wasn’t the start you hoped for either. 

We battled week in and week out, getting defeated by less than a point on many occasions. There were moments where we were disheartened and scratched our heads, trying to understand the challenges we were experiencing with such a talented team. But as a team, we were dedicated to working harder, becoming stronger and believing more than ever that we were capable of being amongst the best in the league. 

And with that came the wins, the big rides and ultimately lead us to a 3rd place finish in Las Vegas at the 2023 PBR Teams Championship. 

But despite the ups and downs, there was one thing that remained steady, the support of YOU, Ridge Rider Nation. You stuck with us through a losing streak, difficult injuries and heartbreaking losses. You welcomed us with open arms in the community as we visited local schools, hospitals and you even let us make you coffee and pastries. You celebrated the return of the season with us at our preseason kickoff event and humbled us by showing up to make the 2023 Ridge Rider Days the most attended Glendale PBR event in history. We have no doubt that YOU are the greatest fans in all of sports. 

Thank you for an unforgettable 2023 season and thank you for believing in us from the first gate opening. For us, it’s time to get back to work to start building the foundation of our 2024 season. The story continues, Ridge Rider Nation, and we’re glad you’re here for it. 

With Much Love and Gratitude, 
YOUR Arizona Ridge Riders 🖤🤍🩶
