White entered the bull riding arena in 2016 with bulls "Stank Face" and F-Bomb." As Gleason mentioned, White's "Sour Diesel" and "White Thunder" are active bucking bulls while "Stank Face" and "F-Bomb" has retired from competition. "Twisted Steel" was White's first bull to make it to the PBR.
"I fell in love with the sport, and I started buying bulls back in 2016 in hopes to get into the PBR," White said. "The first bull I ever owned, his name was F-Bomb. He's retired now, he's out. My other bulls are in the Velocity Tour. And then this is my first bull to ever make it to the big show of the PBR," White told PBR in December.
