I think you mean Cincinnati is in Hamilton County. The town of Hamilton is in Butler County and has a lot of horses and tons of dairy cows. I know, I was from there and my Dad was a horse trainer and boarded around 35 horses.
None of that matters, AP isn't saying he grew up roping cows. Maybe he is the type of "cowboy" Bon Jovi speaks of in his song Dead or Alive. "I'm a cowboy, on a steel horse I ride".
There are some hilarious comments in this thread.
I heard him say somewhere (maybe Gypsy Tales) that he was afraid in his younger years that people wouldn’t like his natural style, so he socal bro’d it up a bit. Now that he’s more established, he said he feels more comfortable being himself.
That being said, it sure seems like he turns the “cowboy” character to max level for the cameras. Smart marketing move because the fans love it.
Exactly. I went back and watched his old podium interviews to see when the accent started. He seemed like an awkward kid trying to fit in. Daniel blair talked about it years ago on main event moto how different plessinger is off the track than his rockstar bro interviews.
Seems to me that the whole cowboy theme on AP popped up right around just after the whole Donut thing
maybe AP realized that props and gimmicks are needed to win over the gullible and sentimental hordes.
he's an entertainer at the end of the day. If he thinks its going to increase the value of his brand/image then he has to do it.

He could be considered a cowboy in the sense that he rides a bull, both orange and red!
Huge lies.
And promulgated by media shills like Weege, who constantly attempted to brainwash fans into believing Pourcel was The "Crafty" Frenchman.
While he likely was French and presumably a man, the lie was hidden in plain sight. Ask yourself this - do you ever remember seeing him with Elmer's glue, popsicle sticks, construction paper, scissors, glue gun or glitter? Ever see his gear bedazzled?
"Crafty" my Martha Stewart-lovin' @$$.
Is John Dowd not a junkyard dog?
That's a crazy... 1 in 20??
Anyway, it works for him financially and if he's happy and he's not hurting anyone then screw it, the man can do as he pleases 👍
It is quite clearly a schtick... I'm surprised more people don't find it cheesy or are against the lack of authenticity.
He was briefly, before he went pro and realised riding was a more lucrative career path 👍
Ever see how he acts when he gets near a fire hydrant?
'Nuff said.
Very brokeback-ish
We all wear baseball hats and we a don’t all play baseball.
Seems there are a lot of cowboys in white hats singing on the beach also. 🤪
Marketing, Branding , Promotion.
That's what it all is.
It's the way things are, be it Companies, or Individuals.
I cringe a bit when he dials up that accent and yee-haw but it’s deal. If he’s doing it to make bank well, you gotta do what you gotta do. Either way I’m just loving watching him have a breakout season. He’s has some struggles and looks like he’s figured it out.
He needs the eyepatch and a jug a whiskey like the "Duke" next time he podiums (possibly this weekend)!
Is this thread really happening? Dudes bitching and calling a rider out over the literal meaning of a nickname?
AP is as “cowboy” as it gets. It’s not made up. He doesn’t get back to the semi and take his wig off and put his New Balance shoes and khakis on.
The guy rides hard, is true to himself, rides a steel bull every weekend and kicks ass.
Better than picking a donut as your mascot 🤷♂️

You're not going to believe what I heard a while back about Dr. Dre.
🎶 Like a drug store cowboy 🎶
Glen Campbell would be proud
I've pulled 100's of cows and Ima nota cowboy.
Look, this isn't a dating site. Leave your love life outta this.
Since when do cows have anything to do with being a cowboy?
AP rode a mechanical bull. Must be a cowboy.
Seems like an appropriate time to drop this again. Enjoy... and try not to hurt yourself busting those dance moves.
Uh oh. Are you implying he’s not really a Doctor?
LPN Dre was already taken at the time
Next thing you know, you clowns are going to try to tell me Bailey wasn't really a Professor.
Buncha heretics.
