As the PBR makes it way back to Billings three weeks from Friday (May 14-16), local bull riding fans may be wondering whether they'll get to see Montana's world champion in action.
The scene Saturday night in Oklahoma City was a familiar one this season for Lockwood as the two-time world champion needed help leaving the dirt after enduring another beating on the Professional Bull Riders Tour.
Lockwood was bucked off Bandit in 3.8 seconds, then survived a couple of close calls after his dismount. Lockwood was clipped in the head before being stomped on his left quad. The wreck kept him out of Sunday's action but could've been a lot worse after landing flat on his back -- one of the most vulnerable positions for a bucked off rider.
Lockwood had already missed three events due to a broken jaw and a free hand injury. He told Justin Felisko of PBR.com before Saturday's ride that he needs to be more aggressive after the most disheartening start of his six-year career. Lockwood is only 3 for 15 this season.
"I just have been riding lazy," Lockwood told Felisko. "I haven't been aggressive, and I just need that aggression back. When I spur bulls, I ride better. So, shoot, it probably wouldn't hurt me to start spurring. It is mental. I have felt good physically. I have no excuse whatsoever.
"I feel good, but I am nodding, and it's like, 'OK, whatever.' It's just, eh. I'm just nodding my head and that's about all I am doing. I am just along for the ride. I am not in control right of the ride right now. I need to be aggressive."
Lockwood said regardless of being bucked off, he felt more aggressive after Saturday's ride.
Oklahoma City was big for Joao Ricardo Vieira. The Brazilian finished three for three, walking off with a 90-point championship ride and vaulting all the way to second in the latest world standings. Vieira, chasing his first world title, pocketed over $29,000. The PBR's Unleash the Beast tour is in Nampa, Idaho this weekend.
On the PBR's Velocity Tour, Jake Lockwood placed 8th in Grand Forks with an 84.5 point ride. Montana's Dakota Louis wasn't able to beat the eight-second mark.
