He was also the only rider ever to score a qualified ride on Red Rock, the 1987 PRCA Bucking Bull of the Year.

His mother, Elsie, went to stay with her parents in Kim, Colorado, and he was born in the hospital in La Junta.

On January 5, 1985, Frost married Kellie Kyle (born 1965), a barrel racer from Quanah, Texas, west of Wichita Falls.

He went on to compete at the Rodeo '88 Challenge Cup held as part of the Cultural Olympiad in association with the 1988 Winter Olympics in Calgary.

[5] Red Rock had never been successfully ridden during his four-year professional career, despite rodeo cowboys making 309 attempts to ride him.

"[5] Red Rock was brought out of retirement and Frost rode him to the eight-second whistle for a scoring ride for four of the seven matches.

Frost initially rose to his feet, took a couple of steps, waved for help, and then fell to the ground; dying on the arena floor from massive internal injuries.

[11][12] Frost's best friend and traveling partner Tuff Hedeman won his second PRCA bull riding world championship at the NFR in 1989.

[13] After Frost's death, Cody Lambert, another one of his friends and traveling partners, created the protective vest that professional cowboys now wear when riding bulls.

[16] It was named for Frost and Brent Thurman, who died six days after suffering serious injuries at the 1994 National Finals Rodeo.

Country music star Garth Brooks paid tribute to Frost in the video for his 1995 hit single "The Beaches of Cheyenne".

[22] Country music star Zach Bryan's middle name is Lane, after Frost, and his 2022 song "Open the Gate" is a tribute to his namesake.

During the first few years of his professional career in the mid-1990s, while competing in the PBR and PRCA, Hart rode in a pair of chaps that were once owned by Frost.

In May 2024, Brazilian bull rider Cássio Dias, who also idolizes Frost, won the PBR world championship while riding in those same chaps.
