Out of all the videos of teaching how to rope on Youtube, your video has helped me the most and i really appreciated it man!

[allyrodgers]

I really appreciate the combination of distance and close up via go-pro perspectives, makes it easier to see what you are doing thank you!!

Hi Dru. Not even sure you still see comments. And I know these vids are some years old, but I’ve learned so much. I’m 59, always wanted to learn. You helped me pick out my rope, my dummy, now learning. Thank you so so much. Hoping you make some new ones. T. L.

HUGE THANK YOU for these excellent videos !! I watched other ' Learn To Rope ' videos from other ' instructors' and couldn't quite get it . Then I found your videos and I must admit that I advanced to the ' Beginner Stage ' . I will keep practicing and one day I will send you a video of how I am progressing . I built a nice roping dummy- ( I made it out of 2x4's -- it looks pretty cool actually )  - . For now I am just using handlebars for the horns - but that will soon be replaced by my new steer head  ( I ordered yesterday ) . NOTE-- I wanted to share with you that while I was building the roping dummy - my wife came out back to the shed, and was so excited because she thought I was building a table or something useful for the home . You should of seen her face when I told her what it was !! Talk about the big disappointment ! I wish I snapped a photo of that look she gave me ( that really would of been the poster of being let down ). Too Funny !!!!

Wanted to say, great video, exactly what I was looking for. Only thing I need to work on is the flip!

How do I fix my rope, whenever I coil it, it wants to spread apart?

[aaronsullenger]

Thank you for the videos they help a lot. Being left handed do I need to find a rope that is twisted to the left or can I still use a normal rope in my left hand?

[hayden]

How do you build the loop on a 3 strand rope?

[serenayoung]

Question: I am just starting to practice, using your videos. However, I have used my rope for dragging logs from the saddle, not coiling it properly, ect. and it has odd kinks and such. Is there a way to get it to reshape for a nice correct coil?

yo estoy en AZ, y es facil ayar piolas de lasar. Pero yo vivia en hermosillo de nino y estuve en mexico asta la edad de 22. Somos familia ranchera y de rodeo, y digo que si ay muchas partes para conseguir una piola. Hermosillo, general mente estando en el norte del pais, es muy facil ayar piolas. Las puedes agarar en cualquier mercado de comida para caballos, (livestock store). si eres del sur del pais, va a ser un poco mas dificil, pero procura buscar en las tiendas de caballos. 9/10 tendran.

Can you please make a video for left handers

[NicoleSherwood-Horsemanship]

I've brought a soft used rope will that be OK to start with? Is there much difference between X soft and soft?

[jasoncunningham]

Thank you for your video, just one quick question. When you have your rope in your hand, do you want the rope to overlap between your hand and the Honda?

I was just going to ask how to get my rope swinging without figure eight. But iv drug logs etc. also is there any rope that works well in Canadian winters. Can't get one going well at all and I am wondering if it's the cold.

[haleystrickland]

Hey, I appreciate these videos, however I have a question. What if i bought a medium soft rope as my first rope 😬
