Not helpful worst video ever
To think I'd stumble on a TABC video by chance... Fellow chorister here, currently in the Young Mens Ensemble! Impressive work on the routine! I could never get all of the tricks myself, but my friends on the roping team were very good at it. My father was in the Chorus before me, and he knows about the extra tricks you showed off in the end. I suppose I should get around to learning them sometime. Keep up the good work! Maybe if you're ever around town you could see the wall of pictures my father set up for the chorus showcasing all of the old touring chorus pictures since the days of Dr. Caso.
Verygood
Excelente...he tratado de aprender con un lazo rígido y no he podido..voy a ver si puedo con uno de esos muchas gracias y bendiciones 🙏
Great lesson for a newbie like me but we gotta get you a real hat!
How do you even spin it in a loop? Mine closes, it won’t stay open
Use a longer rope little ones are easy
Great channel dude! Talented roper and teacher!
Thank you kind sir for your advice and tips on doing the Butterfly!!
It always slips at the Honda though
Same
Same
Great tutorial thank you
Felt like taping the Honda really helped! Now I taped, I can’t seem to figure out how to keep the loop from closing. Thanks for any tips!
Nice, Gill. Appreciate your pace and clarity. Good stuff!
Amazing! Thanks!
Your channel is seriously underrated. Keep going, amazing work!!
Hello I was just wondering why have you not been posting lately well just wondering I love your roping videos cause well I like trick roping myself
This has some good personal tips but not really a tutorial. Don't worry, not even top pros know how to fully explain out to get it started and when to do what. They say to just keep practicing. I am further along than I was when I started to learn but still cant keep it going. All your tips are spot on like not powering through it , keeping close and flicking but for most just getting it started is hard let alone keeping it going.
Can you use a stiff lasso?
I think people do use a stiff rope very effectively but most of my experience is with this kind of limp rope
Wow, you've gotten really good!
Just a question, where do you buy your ropes ?
You can get Samson #12 cotton braid spot cord from many places online. There are 2 types: cotton core (100% cotton), and nylon core. If the vendor does not strictly specify that it's cotton core or 100% cotton then you can safely assume it's nylon core with a cotton braid exterior. The cotton core rope is now pretty exclusively made just for trick ropers so it's not in hardware stores. You can order the cotton core rope from Western Stage Props, and also Dube Juggling Equipment. I recommend Western Stage Props, but years ago I also have ordered from Dube and had a good experience. I am not picky about what's in the core of my ropes but I know other people are, I have ropes of both cotton and nylon core. The one in this video is nylon core that I cut from a 100 foot hank I bought from Alamo Iron Works item #404921001024001060. You can also order this from other hardware sellers like Home Depot. The cotton core rope is about twice as expensive as the nylon core rope, but still not too expensive. Just make sure it's Samson Spot or Sash Cord and standard thickness is #12. It was nice to just get 100 feet of it and cut different lengths to try out, I think this one is about 17'
Roper Gill T. Thank’s for your answer !!!
This is really amazing !
I love what you do with that rope !!! Could you tell me the exact length ?
15ft Cotton, got my answer
I think the long one in this video is 25'
This is very helpful - thanks for sharing your techniques! For now I'm working on the flat loop and the wedding ring; I use a shorter rope with a single knot in the tail and hold it loosely so the knot can spin in my hand as if it were a swivel. The tail spin and double header tricks you demonstrated at the end were very clever!
A knot on the end works well, you can ease up on your grip without fearing it will slip away from you. Thanks for commenting. The double header thing was harder to execute than I expected, probably because the connection of rope between right and left side limits movement.
Thank you for your videos!
This is exactly what I was looking for. Especially the slow motion showing the wrist pattern. Thank you!
Great
Just kidding your doing great
You ain't no cowboy
I make no claims, but I like to spin a rope
Your fine like I said in the other comment your doing great and I was just kidding with you cowboys not what you do it's who you are your a pretty good one
Great video! Thanks a lot!
Another great tutorial dude, thanks a lot for sharing your techniques with us.
This was a helpful tutorial! Now I need to figure out how to get the butterfly started. I've been working on the flat loop and wedding ring both right and left handed and getting better!
Hey dude, I m really enjoying your videos as a beginner in trick roping, please don t stop with this.
very good! I'm glad it's useful, thanks for letting me know
Great video! What length and type of rope are you using? I'm trying to teach myself trick roping from videos (haven't found anyone local to teach me) and I've got the flat loop, but I'm having trouble getting the wedding ring going.
I use #12 samson cord, in this video it's my short rope, about 13 feet. 13 to 15 feet is probably a good length to get started with but a little bigger is also good for wedding ring. For me, wedding ring is harder with a short rope
Wedding ring for me was all about finding the right rotation speed. Where area are you living?
@@ropergillt.1133 - I'm finally starting to get the wedding ring figured out, yayyy! I am using a 13 foot cotton rope with a leather burner; with my short arms, that's all I can handle right now. I'm just outside Boston.
