Lane later died that day due to the bull. Lane was buried in Hugo, Oklahoma near by his mentor and hero Freckles Brown. Recently after Lane’s death Cody Lambert his rodeo partner was the founder of the PBR. Cody also invented the protective vest the riders have to wear now to protect them. In August of 1990 Lane was inducted into the ProRodeo Hall of Fame in Colorado, Springs Colorado. In 1994 the movie 8 Seconds came out
