Tune in for a special episode recorded at PBR Salt Lake City: The crew interviews accomplished professional bull rider Derek Kolbaba on the sports and pop culture podcast UNLEASHED with The Dingo, Danny, and Brittney. Recorded at the Delta Center in SLC, the episode gets the inside perspective from the 28-year-old Oregon native and heir to a rodeo dynasty.
Born into a rodeo family in Joseph, Oregon, Derek Kolbaba’s journey began at a young age. Inspired by his father, legendary bull rider Kyle Kolbaba, young Derek always wanted to be a cowboy. Despite his father’s early retirement due to a severe injury – and initial hesitation about following the same path – the young Kolbaba couldn’t resist the arena’s call. At age 10, Derek saddled up to compete in local rodeos while displaying remarkable natural talent. By the mere age of 18, he was already competing in the Professional Bull Riders (PBR) World Finals, and at just 21, claimed the 2017 Reserve Champion Bull Rider title. Though his career has been marked by significant setbacks—including a broken back and five surgeries—Derek’s determination remains unbroken. Tune in for an up-close conversation with one of bull riding’s most resilient competitors – only on UNLEASHED!
