While some relentlessly pursue their dreams of being a world rodeo champion in the United States of America, many succeed and consecrate themselves, as happened with the Brazilian cowboy, PBR champion José Victor Leme. But for many competitors luck doesn't come in time to compensate for the efforts and persistence of many cowboys.

This is the case of Amadeu Campos, a Bull-Rider who competed in bulls for the leaguemundial of rodeos, the PBR of the United States, who in a regrettable accident was trampled by a bull, in a rodeo held for the city of Fresno, last Sunday , on August 29, for the Velocity Tour stage, in the State of California, trying to collect more points for elevation of position within the championship.
Amadeu was from the city of Altair, Region of the city of São José do Rio Preto town, in the State of São Paulo, Brazil, and for him the entire family of cowboys and administrators of the PBR, were largely united in providing aid and expressing great regret for the sad fact that happened.
