Just a week after closing the 2018 regular season, the 2019 rodeo year is in full swing. Tyler Wade and Ryan Motes are teamed up at the All American ProRodeo Finals in Waco, Texas, which runs Oct. 6 to Oct. 13. They won first in the first round with a 5.5-second-run, worth $2,799 a man and second in the second round with a 5.6-second-run, worth $2,084 a man in Bracket I of the tournament-style rodeo. All-American Finals earnings count toward the 2019 year-end standings and can prove to be a huge boost early in the year.
