The History and
Philosophy of the Marvin Garrett Roughstock Series
The
Marvin Garrett Roughstock Series is a rodeo event
that features the best cowboys matched with the best
stock in the three events; bareback riding, saddle
bronc and bull riding. It is produced by four time
World Champion and Hall of Fame Bareback Rider
Marvin Garrett. His life's work has been the sport of
rodeo and his reputation in the industry is second
to none. The respect he has earned throughout his
career has allowed him to put together a unique
combination of stock and cowboys. Marvin is joined
by co-producer, Spud Whitman, and a highly respected
and well accomplished PBR bull rider. Spud brings
his knowledge and experience as one of the starting
members of the PBR.
The
Marvin Garrett Roughstock Series originated with a
one day event in 2000 that featured National Finals
Rodeo cowboys and the best stock competing before a
sold out crowd. This event has filmed and later
broadcast on the Outdoor Channel with people from
12.5 million homes tuning in. The event has since
grown into an annual series with multiple events
televised regionally, earning the status of being
one of the highest rated show in it's time slot.
The
Marvin Roughstock Series has been described as the
fastest growing, most exciting, most talked about
event in Rodeo today. The skill and traditions shown
with Roughstock makes it a natural for becoming a
national and international event. As the West is
part of our heritage, people around the world are
captivated with that part of history. Our mission is
to provide a family oriented, educational approach
to tapping into the "old west" interest and present
the best in the world to local, regional, national,
and world-wide audiences with live performances and
televised broadcasts.
The
Marvin Garrett Roughstock Series wishes to provide
cowboys with the opportunity of earning the
income that should come with being a professional
athlete, in comparison to any other professional
sport.
