Flint Rasmussen

Flint Rasmussen (born January 25, 1968) is an American professional rodeo barrelman. He is the most famous barrelman in the history of bull riding.

A former high school math and history teacher, Rasmussen signed an exclusive contract with the Professional Bull Riders and provided entertainment at their Premier Series events. Also long associated with the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association, he earned the title of PRCA Clown of the Year for eight consecutive years and won the Coors Man in the Can honor seven times. Flint grew up in Choteau, Montana, where he started his career in sports. He was an All-State football player and track star for Choteau High School. Flint has two daughters, Shelby and Paige, who also barrel race. After a couple of procedures, he was back in the arena in a short time. Rasmussen said on returning to the arena after his heart attack. He got back to the arena with only a few differences: he had to wear a heart rate monitor and had to take a few breaks when his heart rate exceeded 140 bpm.

In February 2023, Rasmussen announced that he was retiring as PBR arena entertainer at the end of the 2023 PBR World Finals in May and becoming a full-time commentator beginning at Cheyenne Frontier Days, the opening event of the PBR Team Series during the second half of the calendar year. He retired after working the 2023 PBR World Finals in May.

Rasmussen began his full-time career as a sideline reporter for the PBR Team Series in July of that year. Allen Bestwick did not return as a sideline reporter for the PBR Team Series, and Rasmussen's sideline reporting partner was now five-time PRCA World Champion steer wrestler Luke Branquinho, who himself had retired as a rodeo contestant in 2021.

In 2024, Rasmussen's role in the PBR Team Series was changed, as he went from a sideline reporter during the action to a post-show reporter. His new partner was fellow longtime PBR personality Matt West. From December 2024 to April 2025, Rasmussen was a host of PBR Now, a weekly web show which recapped the previous weekend's PBR Unleash the Beast Series (UTB) event and previewed the upcoming event. It streamed live every Thursday afternoon on the PBR's YouTube channel. His co-hosts were Matt West and PBR sideline reporter Kate Harrison.

In 2026, Rasmussen decided to come out of retirement and return to his role as PBR arena entertainer. He now works some UTB events, as well as some PRCA events.

Rasmussen now resides in Fort Worth, Texas.

In 2014, he was inducted into the St. Paul Rodeo Hall of Fame.

In 2019, he was inducted into the Ellensburg Rodeo Hall of Fame.

In 2024, he was inducted into the National Rodeo Hall of Fame.

In 2025, he was inducted into the Bull Riding Hall of Fame.
