Anthony Lucia grew up with rodeo on all sides—from father Tommy Lucia’s specialty act to competing in the team roping pen and finding his own voice among the rodeo announcing world.

On this episode of The Breakdown, Lucia breaks down everything fans need to know about the NFBR before it kicks off on Dec. 5. He discusses the headlining stories, and some insider scoop going into Las Vegas and what fans can expect to see play out at the South Point Arena. Lucia will be announcing his second NFBR in 2023 and has a unique perspective both fans and athletes can appreciate.

This episode is supported by Fast Back Ropes. Fast Back’s commitment to quality no matter the conditions is something they pride themselves on, and it’s made them one of the premier rope makers both inside and outside the ProRodeo world.
