Australian bull riding champion Aaron Kleier eyes world's biggest stage

Queensland bull rider Aaron Kleier is setting his sights on the United States days after being crowned Australia's best for a record fourth year running.

Kleier spends his days working on the family property, Luxor, 40 kilometres west of Clermont, but is eager to pack his bags and head to the US for another crack at the big time when travel restrictions ease.

The 23-year-old jetted stateside in early 2020 but was forced to return as the pandemic brought a halt to the Professional Bull Riders (PBR) tour.

"I really want to get back overseas — it's where the world's best bull riders are," Kleier said.

"Due to COVID, I came home and in the last two years I've been at home here, poking along with it.

"I'm waiting to see how it all pans out [with travel restrictions easing]."
