OKLAHOMA CITY - Last year, Austin Meier and his wife Kristen built their dream home.

Friday afternoon, he and three other top professional bull riders - Ryan Dirteater, Luke Snyder and Colby Yates - helped a local family realize its dream of owning a home.

The four riders volunteered three hours of their time Friday afternoon to the Oklahoma City chapter of Habitat for Humanity.

"It's definitely different than just a day on the job," said Meier, who also volunteered a year ago. "It's a great opportunity to give back."

"I really enjoyed it and it was for a good cause," Dirteater said. "I got out there and went to work."

They helped frame in the house, and put in insulation so the crew could close in the walls.

Yates said that despite the less-than-desirable weather, he was surprised by how quickly the framework went up.

At one point, Dirteater was armed with a nail gun.

"We worked for a few hours out there, and it was cold," he said. "The weather wasn't too good, but it wasn't about that. It was about helping others."

The highlight for Dirteater and Meier was getting to meet the family.      

"It was neat because you get to see the look in their eyes," Meier said. "There's the excitement of getting to meet a couple of bull riders, but the real excitement is watching their house get built."

"Getting to see them and see their faces out there … see everyone working to build them a home … it makes you feel good," Dirteater said. "They were full of joy and excited."

Meier added, "It puts into perspective what your life is and what you're able to do for somebody else. It just makes you think about things."

All four of the PBR representatives were inspired by the relentless work ethic of the 20-some volunteers on the crew.

Despite temperatures in the low 30s and constant wind, everyone banned together.

"They were there to get the work done," Yates said.

Meier recalled that the last time he volunteered, it was snowing, so they framed the walls of a home inside a local warehouse.

"It was brutally cold and I was not dressed for it," said Meier, who considers himself blessed to be able to compete in the PBR when others are struggling to have homes of their own.

"We're traveling around the world getting to do what we love, and there are people out there who need a home," added Dirteater. "We're just blessed to be able to do what we're doing with the PBR, and being able to go out and help when we can is an honor.

"I'd like to do it again sometime."
