On this episode of The Tie-Down Breakdown, Dylan Hancock talks about trading a baseball glove for a rope, the eye-opening Resistol Rookie rookie year that taught him what it takes to win, and the breakthrough that proved he belongs at the top level of ProRodeo.

Hancock also shares what it felt like to get the call to the Cinch Timed Event Championship and how he’s preparing to head back in 2026 after the Lazy E Arena announced the roster of athletes. From horsepower to mindset, Hancock explains how his approach has shifted since his first NFR and what’s fueling his summer hot streak.
