That video may have been for Mr. Reed, but I found it absolutely fascinating! I am 17 years old and I would have never known some of these throws if it weren't for your videos. Here is to keeping the vaquero tradition alive!
Thank you for your Roping DVD! I own 3 or 4 others that I have purchased over the years and I must say that yours is the best. You explain each shot so well. Thanks again!
I know nothing and I have very little hand eye coordination, however as I watch you I can better appreciate the art of it, function. Thanks as always V in Colorado
Mr. Pat, this is exactly the kind of video that I would find most helpful from you. The artistry is amazing. Thanks to you and Mrs. Deb for making the video.
Hello Pat, we are a few friends in Germany who Ropen together. We have problems with the contra del viento if you stand further away. Could you go a little closer and maybe show a video on RU-vid again? With many thanks and a happy new year Andreas Weber
I hope you can message me back to answer my questions,,,, is del viento when the loop turns clockwise regardless of head or heels,,, what's it called when loop turns over counter clockwise,,,, also does it matter weather you swing forward or backwards,,,, thanks
@@PatnDebPuckett Someone told me, or I read somewhere that a 4-strand Poly has extra weight and a smoother overall texture. Adding a rawhide honda makes this poly rope throw like a reata. Opinion?
Shawn Meeks When they started putting little segments of wire in the strands of the poly rope, it ruined them in my opinion. After you use them for a little while, they get kinks in them and the coils don’t lay right which is unsafe especially if you slide a lot of rope. A lot of guys still use them in spite of the wire. We just don’t like them!
This is interesting. May I ask, how or why do American cowboys use Mexican style roping techniques? This is a “Pial” or lasso for the hind legs. This particular Pial, called Pial del Viento, was invented by Don Manuel Gonzalez Aragón, son of the great Ignacio Gonzalez Aragon, Charros from central Mexico. Don Manuel Died in the early 20th century.
