Introducing one of our 2022 Inductees in the Animal Category:
400 VJV Slash, of Vold Rodeo.
The bull 400 VJV Slash born in May of 2004 in Ponoka, and lived his entire life there, until his death in October of 2018. He was 14 years old. This outstanding black and white bull of Burton bloodlines weighed 1450 lbs.
With 61 recorded outs (Pro Bull Stats), his average bull score was 22.230. His numerous achievements include:
- 6 times PBR Canada finals qualifier
- 4 times PBR World finals qualifier
- twice selected as PBR Canada's Bull of the Finals
- 2011 PRB Canada Bull of the Year
- 2011 CPRA Bull of the Year
- 5 times CFR qualifier
- 4 times CFR Bull of the Finals
- 2012 Bull of the Ponoka Stampede
- 3 times qualified for the Calgary Stampede top 4 round
400 VJV Slash went his whole CPRA career without anyone making a qualified ride on him, until Tanner Byrne in 2013. It was Slash's very last trip before being retired. The ride took place at the CFR, where Byrne and Slash were 89 points.
PBR Canada's highest score was also a top Slash, by Josh Birks. The ride took place in 2012, at Stavely AB., with a score of 92.5.
Rank but gentle, with hardly any qualified rides, the cowboys still wanted to draw this honest spinner. For these reasons and more, we're proud to welcome 400 VJV Slash into the Canadian Pro Rodeo Hall of Fame.
