07 Intro to Roping

Dennis Bright shows us the basic skills of roping. These are demonstrated by Lauren, an 11yr old beginner roper.

[@DeNilsPipe]

Best video on the internet so far... Thanks!

[@christopherdavis9825]

I love your videos, I just wish someone can show me how to feed my rope to make the loop larger when swinging

[@fsj197811]

Very cool, thanks for sharing.

[@Dortae]

Thanks for the help!

[@tygrieve706]

Thanks you that tip help lot. Very good job.

[@andrewstegall1456]

What’s the best way to condition a new rope? Like I’m a city guy with no experience and I’m super fascinated with this but my rope is kicking my ass because it’s so stiff

[@4GUESTS]

cool instructional, thanks

[@Smrobs84]

@mortalcare If you are trying to heel, then you will need a stiffer lay with your rope. Most heel ropes that are sold come in medium hard to hard so that they have that added stiffness and body to stay up under the steer. However, if your loop is collapsing as soon as you release, then you don't have your swing and release correct.

[@pzlr0v]

Just got home from buying a rope in Cody, Wy now we myself and 2 boys 6 and 11 are going to try it on the dog. This should be fun thank you for the video.

[@sobratogirl]

Go, Lauren! Hey, does Katharine know how to rope too? I felt like I learned a lot during this video. I admire Mr. Bright for his constant dedication to showing the audience the cowboy way. Roping is a lot harder than it looks. That's for sure.

[@user-iz7dv1id2g]

Great video

[@Shelbizzlemynizzle]

excellent demonstration, thank you

[@blampkin90ify]

thank you for this clauses

[@pochuanhsing2466]

Thanks for the info, I would try it later for the tradition

[@Smrobs84]

@mortalcare Do you know which lay your rope is? You might want to try out a stiffer lay. If that doesn't help, then it may be your swing. It's hard to say what might be wrong with it without seeing you swing. Do you have someone experienced that you could talk to about it and have them show you?

[@MagnumROCKSTAR1]

What’s a good beginner rope ? Do you have to have one of them real expensive ropes to learn ? Any info would help

[@ojibwa2165]

What a good dad!

[@francinemchugh5011]

Thank you

[@artielon]

It ain´t rocket science but will probably take quite a bit of practice to master. Watching this because I want to get a lariat for my 8 year old nephew... Lassoing seems like a nice thing to do on a sunny day.

Nice vid I'm 11 turning 12 in two weeks I've been roping for five months can you make a video of when ur just starting out on a horse

[@zackblake1411]

Boy that was helpful!

[@Courtmaster121]

where do you buy a lasso like that?

[@lx051225]

Can anyone tell me what kind of rope this is？ it looks so stiff。 I tried it with normal rope and it always sticks together, can't get a big loop

[@cutlerj103]

For some reason my volume so low in cannot hear. I am able to see though so im sticking with it. Thank you for showing us.

[@Courtmaster121]

Where can i buy a lasso like that?

[@user-wl9zo2mi4u]

I really don't think this is a ordinary rope as we usually see. Plz tell us what's the material of this rope and how much of it.

[@dreamchaser2120]

@hugokalberykol its called the honda ive heard. i looked up how to tie a lasso and it came up right away. its really easy, dont worry

[@bobbyb2821]

Thanks ^^

[@1flyhigher]

wow ;) thats very simpel to learn beeing 11 and learn is very good job ;)

[@mortalcare]

@Smrobs84 my loop is never there. its like a wet rope, it dosent hold it just falls

[@erinkayeozga9947]

That's my cousin Dennis Bright 🐎

[@nathanielskelly5525]

pretty good

[@redcartiers]

Would it be harder or easier if you just used a normal rope instead of an actual lariat rope. I’m trying to figure out if I can just use a normal rope or not

[@CenPapi]

Technically you could do it with a normal rope, but it'll be much more difficult; the stiffness of a lariat rope really helps to keep the loop open to get it around what you're trying to rope.

[@Xumbos]

which rope is that?

[@ItsMe-wm4mc]

WHAT happened to the ranch?

[@CrazyDaisyMara]

what kind of rope do you use?

[@johnnyamerica4336]

Good video. Lauren did great for such a young girl. I hope you instilled confidence in her over the years, because you seemed a bit too critical of her for a beginner (from what I gathered in your video she was just learning.)

[@paddythepug978]

What state is this

[@iiloveyou1819]

omg im gonna try this i've been wanting to learn how to rope but my dad never has time to teach me:) thanks

[@MERCURYGTI]

where is this school

[@mortalcare]

so your rope seems very stiff.my rope isnt,and the loop just closes as soon as i throw it.should i be using a different rope,or what?

[@muellermay]

"You're roping like a girl!" LOL I had to heard such a commend as a kid too from my brother.

[@mozartkamaru816]

Hank you

[@vladimirputin7351]

You are from Texas? or no

[@pojostud77]

Rattler GT4 is the best rope i have ever had for heading.

[@user-wl9zo2mi4u]

This is the very thing I wanna know ! That's great! BTW,I'm Chinese! surprise?

[@jamiebrandie7824]

hi, i just bought a rope (lasso) and it is very stiff so when i go to swing, it tangles (coils) up and it becomes very hard to make a good loop. Do you know anyway to un stiffen the rope? thanks

[@equineopolis5616]

It has to be stiff

[@HarleyFXS]

Why does a lasso look like a stiff rope, like it was starched or something? Is this a special type of rope?

[@christopherrebeiro1616]

Paul Crissman A lasso is typically waxed in order to maintain its shape or "coil" some newer ropes are made with synthetic materials that have the same affect but allow the ropes to be thinner and lighter. "training" a new rope usually involves stretching it by trying it off to a post and pulling on it before storing it in a coiled position.

[@ranchlife4459]

I'm a roper and yes the ropes are braided then waxed for strength and to maintain its coils

[@ZHanat1986]

👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

@joram8708 CHARRO UP ! charros .... yeah we are hardcore.

[@coltonyoung6215]

The one thing I don’t like is the way you pull your slack I’ve always been taught pull to your back pocket or else you’ll wave it off on shorter horned cattle

[@Anomaly003]

She has the same boots as me!! lol

[@zelinkmoo7276]

I felt like that he focusing on his daughter more than the viewers when he was correcting

[@antoniorizo4826]

donde stan las vaqueritas

[@jackdavis68]

Thanks for making the video, Wish people were more respectful these days. Justin can't understand why you would use such language, this just proves is you are not educated or respectful. If your grandma is so great at roping, then make a video of her and post it.

[@florchan4985]

Si estabien pero soy mexicano y no ce ingles

[@chernezthe1st.113]

I'm just 8 years old and I already know how to use a rope

[@extondude]

@thedeceptivelama the lasso was used to capture and animal alive, if it killed them then why wouldn't they just shoot it...

[@RedneckCountryChic90]

it DOES NOT hurt them! I live on a cow farm and i have NEVER killed an animal by roping it. So don't come here and start blabbin about somethin you don't know a crap about.

[@dpdicharry]

The naysayers and "experts" that criticise Dennis fail to realize that he is instructing an 11 year old. He's purposely demonstrating the technique at a slow speed to show all the mechanics of the swing and throw. If you think he ropes like a girl, you better watch the entire video because towards the end he opens up with a "man-size" swing and throw. I've watched plenty of ropers and believe me he knows what he's doing.

[@pedropaulotavares5082]

que bosta aki no Brasil e outra coisa

[@wyocowgirl5827]

doesn't know to put the rope to the right of the honda, wow, that be ignorant

[@davidcoiner6550]

...Rope goes to the left of the Honda...

[@wyocowgirl5827]

David, unless you are roping left handed, the spoke (ie the rope) is on right of the honda. Don Mclaughlin, Dean Oliver & I say so. I am just a 4 time nira region break away champion and Nira national all around

[@davidcoiner6550]

I'm not sure that we are talking about the same thing any more... I was talking about when you are holding the rope in your hand building a loop, the rope comes in through the Honda and goes over to the left of the knot.

[@wyocowgirl5827]

I am curious where u would have learned that. Try the spoke on the right side. You might be surprised how much better your roping is. Google Don McLaughlin & his brother Gene

[@gaminghermit2195]

Congratulations on your championships, Wyoming Cowgirl. Since you are curious, among others, Eight-time PRCA world champion Speed Williams advocates that you have the strand of rope that runs through the hondo on the inside of your hand "That way, when your thumb is locked down on the rope," he says, "you have this strand secure. It can't get away from you." In other words, to the left of the Hondo (and yes, technically it is Hondo, not Honda, though in common vernacular either is acceptable). I am also curious, why when making a comment on somebody would you be so rude and nasty right out of the gate? Could you not just ask them why it is that way and suggest other options? Or has Wyoming changed so much since I was working on a ranch outside of Wright?
