Since emerging onto the PBR scene as an 18-year-old Rookie of the Year and PBR World Finals Champion in 2001, he has never looked back. The reigning Ironman of bull riding competed in a record 275 consecutive major PBR events, which stands to this day.

In 2013, after competing professionally in the PBR for 13 years, Snyder officially retired from bull riding after the PBR World Finals and three PBR Australia events. He was inducted into the Professional Bull Riders Heroes & Legends Celebration: Ring of Honor[1] in 2015.
