Let's make this birthday one to remember.

46 years old (Born on December 30, 1978)

Happy Birthday, Chris Shivers! Here's hoping today's celebrations are smoother than that bull ride you had back in 2000 when you claimed your first PBR World Championship. Legend says the bulls still swap stories about trying—and mostly failing—to toss a rider as determined and talented as you.

And let's not forget how effortless you made it look—even on beasts named Little Yellow Jacket or Dillinger. Two-time world champ (2000 and 2003), countless wins, legendary rides—Chris, you've tackled tougher things than birthday candles ever could be. Hope your day is "8-seconds-of-glory" good; you've truly earned it!
