This is the best instructional video i have viewed on what is going on with the skip. Thank you for your kindness,putting these great instructional out for us to absorb.Ed Cravens
Thanks Ed, I'm looking forward to hearing about your progress on reversing your skip direction. I'm glad you see it as a fun challenge. When I did it, I thought it was scary. But I'm glad I did it. I think you will be too.
Thanks Dan for this great Video , for what it is worth , American Trick Roper, Flores LaDue who started the Calgary Stampede with her husband Guy Weadick back in 1912 , is recognized by the National Cowgirl Hall of Fame for inventing the Texas Skip. Bud Edgar, Calgary
Hi Bud, I'm glad you liked the video. And thank you for the information about Flores and the skip. It never occurred to me to wonder who invented it. It seemed like one of those things that always existed in the minds of ropers. I guess that it might have existed in imagination, but a woman was the first to prove that it was possible. That must have been an exciting day. Thanks Dan
