It was a great weekend, he said. I had two really good bulls and I had a little mishap in the third round and was thrown off a bull I should have rode.

In the short round, Jenkins drafted REMF Gunpowder and Lead, looking for a little revenge after getting bucked off that bull last week.

He cost me the event title last weekend and I dang-sure wanted him back, he said.

Jenkins took advantage of his rematch by turning in a score of 91.5 points to give him the win in Kansas City.

Its great,?he said. It was only a week ago and the fuel was still in the fire and I was still pretty fired up about it and I wanted a rematch.

The win moves Jenkins from seventh to fifth in this weeks PBR World Standings.

I have been fortunate to remain healthy throughout all of this and I am in the top 10, so Ive just got to keep leaning forward and taking it one bull at a time, he said.

Jenkins hopes to stay healthy in this rough and tumble sport of bull riding, which he says is key to everyones success on the tour.

The health is good, just a few bumps and bruises along the way, so its been good.
