Rob Smets, The Kamikaze

Rob Smets is one of the most recognized names in the world of rodeo and professional bull riding and is the only 5-time World Champion Bullfighter. Rob is known worldwide as one of the toughest and most fearless athletes in the world. These traits earned him the nickname "Kamikaze". His inspirational "comeback story" after surviving two broken necks is chronicled in the documentary Rob Smets, the Kamikaze Kid featured on the Discovery Channel.
During the final years of his career Rob was the premier bullfighter in the PBR where he was selected by the best bull riders in the world to work the prestigious Built Ford Tough Events. In 2006, after breaking his neck for the third time, Rob retired from the arena where he will be greatly missed by fans and the riders alike. Rob now works as an on-air and in-arena announcer for PRCA and PBR events. His broadcast work includes the Versus Network, NBC and Fox.

Hello Mr. Smets,This video is very good. I am in South Carolina. My son lives in Abilene and was out surveying for you today. He was aw struck at meeting you. He called his mother and me as soon as they started home. Thanks for being nice to him. He has had a hard time the past few days thinking he had lung cancer but thank GOD it turned out to be nothing. Prayer works. Congratulations on your award.
