Everton Natan da Silva or "Big Skinny" has already proven he knows how to deliver when the pressure rises. The Viradouro, São Paulo, native made a name for himself on Brazil’s rodeo circuit, including a perfect 3-for-3 performance to win the 2024 Ribeirão Rodeo Music title. Silva capped the weekend with 88.50 points on Ponto Fraco, earning not only the championship but berths at the Barretos rodeo final and The American Rodeo semifinals in Texas.

That ability to come through in big moments followed him to PBR Teams. Competing for the Arizona Ridge Riders in 2025, Silva was called upon during the final day of the PBR Teams Championship and delivered in both the semifinal and third-place games, covering both of his bulls to help Arizona finish fourth overall for the season. For the Brazilian, who considers bull riding his full-time job, those opportunities are part of a career built around chasing championships on both sides of the equator.

Away from the dirt, Silva is a husband and father who keeps his faith and family close. He stays competition-ready with functional and CrossFit-style training three to four times a week and, had bull riding not become his profession, says he could picture himself working as a veterinarian. He looks up to Brazilian bull riding standout Fabiano Vieira and keeps gospel music in the rotation alongside the legendary Brazilian country duo Tião Carreiro & Pardinho.

When there are no bulls involved, Silva is just as happy spending time outdoors fishing, hunting or firing up the barbecue. He may not spend much time watching other sports, but with a career already stretching from championship rodeos in Brazil to clutch postseason rides in PBR Teams, Silva has given bull riding fans plenty to watch themselves.
