Previously my account was deducted automatically to maintain my membership, but seems to now have expired. I wanted to renew. I had to change my email address because my account was hacked, so I didn't get any emails that may have been sent. My new email is now on my account. Any information would be great. Thanks

fred brittingham - 4/16/2013 5:36:27 PM

all the videos since you went on the road have distortion in them. i checked the ones from just before you left to see if it was my computer but they were good.

GARY SPROUSE - 4/15/2013 1:30:34 PM

IS YOUR WEB SITE DOWN? I WENT IN TO VIEW OVER LUNCH AND GET ANY OF THE VIDEOS TO RUN

Speed Williams - 4/7/2013 4:01:39 PM

Paul Park - 4/3/2013 9:58:01 AM

Thanks for the scoring video! Both our head horses take a little kick to get started and this sometimes makes us late. The girls are just getting ready for the spring high school rodeos. We're going to work on this and see if we can get these horses RUNNING across the line :)

Ron Woods - 4/2/2013 9:41:44 PM

I LOVED TO SCOREING VIDEO AS i ALSO HAVE HAD DIFFERENT RESULTS FROM DIFFERENT HORSRES ANDi ALWAYSKNOW THT IT THAT YOU HAVE TO ADAPT TO THE HORSES AND SITUATIONS SUCH AS HAND POSISTION SAME AND DIFFERENT FROM A BULL DOGGN HORSE AS THE ALWAYS HAVE THEIR HANDS LOW DOWN BY THE SADDLE HORN AND I WIL LIFT MINE AND LET DROP? SO WHAT IS BETTR? rONWOODSRANCH@FMTC.COM

Speed Williams - 3/29/2013 12:40:43 PM

Johnny Graham and Tony Banfield Jr won a two day school at my house on April 5th and 6th to break down there roping. They catch is all the subscribers get to see and hear what we talk about.

Tommy Jackson - 3/20/2013 1:46:17 PM

Hey Speed thanks for the explanation on the team switch. I agree TG will probably miss your experience. I know its business but you are so close to all of it coming together with horses and all. Thanks for sharing your story with us. Its pretty cool. I really enjoy the insight and experience you bring to the table. Thanks again for sharing your journey with us. THANKS TJ

Ted Bowser - 3/19/2013 7:18:07 AM

For non subscribers the video yesterday when Speed explains how it all went down when being cut is worth the price of admission. The ups and downs on the rodeo trail is very interesting and nothing is sugar coated. You get honest appraisals of how things are going and quite interesting. I recommend the site highly. Ted

ralph osborne - 3/14/2013 6:55:57 PM

Hey Speed,How do get to be in the patch team?By the way you still have your trailor stickers? (Living at the end of a rope....Ralph O.)

Ron will do but if you go to videos and go to categories go to horses and then randy. I have the first 7 days on him and shows a lot of stuff I do on heel horses for now

Ron Woods - 2/15/2013 11:27:04 PM

I realy like your drills on useing the Hot Heels to school your horses would like to see more in the future as would also like to see some on useing the Hot heels on schooling the heel horse! thanks again,

Farmer John - 2/14/2013 7:53:54 PM

Members who like the video credits with horses giving trouble around or in the box, the locked clip “Speed’s runs at the Wild Fire with Jade and Kollin” is real interesting. 100gs on the line Speed corrects Two Moons. Instead of nodding when things look good he, well it’s a must see.

Paul Park - 2/14/2013 7:11:17 PM

Thanks for the video on using the Hot Heels to teach a horse to rate! We're planning to buy a Hot Heels once it warms up and dries up around here. I can't wait to try this drill on our new dummy. In the meantime, this is one we can work on with the sled.

Paul Park - 2/14/2013 7:11:10 PM

Speed Williams - 2/13/2013 10:12:50 AM

They did not let me this year your going to have to buy it this year Reed Flake film it this year. Chad and jade won it

Langdon Pleasant - 2/10/2013 7:18:42 PM

Will you be putting the short go to the wildfire open up again this year? Thanks

william allen - 2/9/2013 7:48:08 PM

Hello Speed, love your site! I've watched your dummy drills to great extent, but would like to know if you have any advise on getting ready sooner. I can rope the dummy quick, but seems like on horse back I struggle getting my rope up quickly.

John Foster - 2/7/2013 3:53:01 PM

Would you do a video for heelers on hazing and coming around the corner and how to tell how much of a haze to give your header a better shot on his end?

Blake Hawkins - 2/5/2013 8:56:21 AM

Subscribers go to Coaching Questions and Comments for details on the free school at the house

Farmer John - 1/23/2013 4:54:50 PM

I agree with ya Mr. Park, and the ideology on pressure Speed uses to start young head horses in his latest posts is unconventional, outside the box, and not anything you will hear in too many other places.

Paul Park - 1/23/2013 11:17:07 AM

Hey Speed. I just want to thank you again for the site and all the information you share with us. Last weekend it was my youngest daughter Simone's turn to shine. On Saturday, she won the team roping, heeling, with a 6.3 at a junior rodeo. On Sunday and she roped 6 of 7 steers she had turned for her and got a check at a jackpot we went to.

To any of you sitting outside the fence, in the free section, I highly recomend you sign up. The insights and tips Speed shares have really helped my girls!

chad evenson - 1/20/2013 7:31:50 PM

So sorry for your family's loss

Ramon Vilarino - 1/17/2013 5:26:11 PM

Brad Bowie - 1/17/2013 10:59:52 AM

Speed and Family I am so sorry for your loss!

Speed Williams - 1/17/2013 9:51:36 AM

I am very sad to say Phil Shurden my father in-law passed away last night from a massive heart attack.He was like my dad active till the end he roped with us yesterday and passed away about 7 pm on jan 16 th. Funeral services will be held January 19th Saturday morning 10 am at Trinty Worship Center De Leon Tx at 6360 Highway De Leon Texas 76444.

warren horner - 1/16/2013 10:18:38 PM

I received the breast collar today. It is Awesome. I am going to tell everyone I won this off of Speed Williams but I may forget to say that I didn't win it roping. LOL. Thanks again, Warren

Rymond Haby - 1/16/2013 8:42:05 PM

Speed you roped good in Glen Rose

Speed Williams - 1/7/2013 7:01:48 AM

Thanks and very happy for your daughter Caitlin it does make it a lot more fun when your kids do it with you

Paul Park - 1/6/2013 10:25:24 PM

Hey Speed, I just want to thank you for putting this site together and for keeping it going. My daughters and I watch pretty much every video at least once and have learned tons, especially about preparing ourselves and our horses for the ropings. It's paying off. Yesterday, my 15 year old daughter, Caitlin, won and placed 4th out of 320 teams in the Bevan Farms number 8 roping.

I can't recommend the site enough. It is definitely worth the price of admission!!

Speed Williams - 1/1/2013 2:17:42 PM

Thanks guys for posting comments but the answers go on the inside under questions but we will start trying to do this more sending out two breast collars tomor

colt braden - 12/31/2012 5:56:38 PM

Hondo was behind the right horn or in the middle of his head and not under the base of the left horn. He was also roped around the eyes.

Jeff Schneider - 12/31/2012 3:33:25 PM

Hey Speed do you know if you have to any certain app for a smart tv, in order to watch your website.

Anthony Popelier - 12/31/2012 1:04:16 PM

looked like you had him roped around his eyes!

graham casey - 12/31/2012 12:51:01 PM

It looked like he had a sore head. Casey Graham

Fred Pfeil - 12/31/2012 6:32:26 AM

I purchased both of the Team Roping for kids videos for my granddaughter, and when we were watching them she got a lot out of them. For me, being a beginner, I learned a lot as well. Speed really goes into detail about some things and touches on things that other videos don't go over. He has some teaching techniques that really accentuate the learning goals. These are not just "basic" videos for kids. It goes over the basics, but there is information in there that can help everyone. There are also things that are just entertaining, if you are just a big fan of the sport. I also learned some things about Speed as well. He has a true love of the sport and it shows in the way he teaches on this video. I already have a pretty high opinion about Speed, but things I learned on the video about his character, honor and integrity, raised my opinion higher than it already was. My point to all this, is don't let the name "kids video" mislead you. I think we all could learn something from these videos, because there is a lot of information packed in these videos, for younger as well as older ropers. With as much as this sport can cost, information and education is the least expensive part when you consider the price of horses, trailers and even ropes, but the most value we can get. I can wear out my ropes on my dummy, but I will always have the knowledge. I just wanted to share with y'all how good the videos are, and how much I think they are worth your time and money.

josh privette - 12/30/2012 5:58:54 PM

josh privette it looks to me the steer switched real hard and the heeler cut the corner and made the steer get heavy

mike crouch - 12/30/2012 9:51:15 AM

David these kind of question go in a different place and I will answer them and yes my is well aware hali is coming after all her HORSES

david gronlie - 12/27/2012 9:40:21 AM

Speed what is your thoughts on roping cattle fast. Alot of people allow them out and try to run them down. It seems like it leaves the low number heeler in a place where it is harder to heel. That is in a practice pen.

DO you recommend that for a lower number heeler that the cattle should be roped faster so everything is not going as fast and they may have better control of the horse and etc. Seems in the USTRC 8 the cattle are alot slower.

Could you sometime show a side view of how you are leaving the box and what score you are using in your practice. I am a new subscriber.

I think that your wife should be worried Haley is coming on the heeling side,

Have A great Day

Jeff Lynn - 12/19/2012 3:56:56 PM

Right to Left is how I started. I could rope any horns I came across as long as I could get into position. Had an 8 header try to rope big horns in my yard one day on the dummy. He absolutely could not do it. But I couldnt catch both horns at same time. And had a slow horse. So I would drop out of a ropin if I couldnt get in position. Thanks so much for this breakdown. with this and your rope drills, Im bout to get salty. If my horses finish out. Have a finished one that is to slow. Have two runners that arnt finished. Tuff Deal on me right now.

Blake Teixeira - 12/18/2012 6:42:03 PM

I just wanted to say that I think your heading drills are outstanding. For a beginner it simplifies the steps to practicing with a purpose on the dummy. For me it reminds me of the basics and what I can do to help stay sharp. The fact that this is a buliding process is great, you have to crawl before you walk and walk before you run.. Hope eveyone is doing great.. Thanks again for everything..

Speed Williams - 12/17/2012 9:50:19 PM

Thanks for the feedback glad you had fun hope to see you there again next year

Lita Ramirez - 12/17/2012 7:56:21 PM

Hello Speed, We just wanted to let you know that we purchased one of your special packages at MGM Grand, the one for the 5 night stay in an Executive Tower Suite with 10 tickets to 5 performances included. It was well worth it. The room was beautiful, service excellent, and the tickets were in a great location. Thanks again for putting a great package together.

hal alexander - 12/17/2012 6:02:18 AM

Who won drawing on 15th

Farmer John - 12/16/2012 2:59:27 PM

Let me get some clarification here. Chad and Jade split up to win Gold Buckles with different Partners. The black horse Chad was on is the same one Jade won heading at the Cow Palace? Jackal is 20 something, no papers and has won several gold buckles with different hands, and now belongs to Jade? May I add; that was the prettiest heeling I have ever seen. Long live Jackal!
Speed literally spends every day all day horse training both ends, fitting a horse for the course. We get to see and learn from it. These finals really showed the importance of a good one. Can’t wait to see Speed in the mix and how he goes about it. All in!

Tommy Jackson - 12/2/2012 8:53:32 PM

Hey Speed, Wanna say thanks for the schooling at your place and the constructive feedback. Ive been working on all of the issues we discussed. It all came together today for the most part. I had some 5, 6 and several 7 second runs. The difference was the way you had me handling the cattle. It set up the runs quicker for the heelers and they could not get it out of their hands quick enough. The school was definitely worth the cost of admission. Thanks again for the help. TJ

Speed Williams - 11/24/2012 2:28:25 PM

Glad you like the break down of those two very different ways of roping.Thanks for taking the time to post your thoughts

Ed Printy - 11/23/2012 9:51:58 PM

Your explanation on when to rope right to left and when to rope both horns at the same time helped quite a bit.

ryan dunn - 11/23/2012 1:03:16 PM

right to left will rope cattle all day long so long as you are not trying to be 3 seconds

Paul Park - 11/22/2012 8:08:58 PM

Good explanation of the difference between roping both horns at the same time and roping right to left. I always swing pretty fast, when I rope either way. I'm going to try slowing my swing down a little when riding in and roping right to left. Thanks

Paul Park - 11/20/2012 8:25:46 PM

Speed, thanks for adding the beginner drills! They are very helpful, even for those who have been roping a while.

Paul Park - 11/20/2012 8:24:20 PM

Jennifer, it was fun to watch it all come together for you, especially after watching all the practicing you did to get there!

Jennifer Williams - 11/20/2012 10:11:58 AM

Hello to all my roping buddies, just wanted to say thanks for all the Congrats last weekend, it was pretty exiting,I am so thankful and blessed to have such an awesome coach/teacher (Speed) he kept telling me "we are getting close", I know I have so much more to learn but at least its starting to make sense. Speed keeps asking me if I'm ready to voice over, even thinking about that makes me sweat,so I just wanted to write a quick thanks and to say for all you guys to keep me posted on your progress as well, I feel like we are all in this together.

mike rankin - 11/19/2012 5:50:38 PM

speed your dummie drills really do work!!! my range is better im ready to rope sooner.

Speed Williams - 11/15/2012 9:43:36 AM

I am head to Boise Idaho for a Roping School be back Monday

Paul Park - 11/14/2012 2:11:22 PM

It is great to see Jennifer roping so well, especially after having watched all the work she did to get there. Congratulations!!!

Steve Phillips - 11/12/2012 4:39:30 PM

Congrats Jen on your weekend !!! I'm still stuck up here in the North Dakota or I would have been there to cheer you on. So proud of you!!

Where are you going next?

Paul Park - 11/11/2012 9:38:29 AM

Great video on teaching beginners to swing. I'm looking forward to more in this beginners series. Thanks!

Speed Williams - 11/5/2012 8:41:35 PM

Just click on a lock video it will play if you have credits

jerry teich - 11/5/2012 4:59:57 PM

How do you a credit token to view a video?

Keith Viles - 11/4/2012 9:45:41 PM

Thanks for the great video on handling steers. I especially liked the slow motion as well as the way you broke it all down. I will definitely go back to this one on a regular basis.

Jeff Lynn - 10/30/2012 11:16:37 AM

Due to learning from Speed's swing. I caught my steer at the USTRC finals. But my heeler missed. Also caught everything at Guthrie shootouts. Two heelers got me to the second cow. But I left with alot of confidence. Due to Speeds website it has taken my roping to another level. I am a four header and roped in the 8 fri n sat at Guthrie and one run in the finals at Oak City. Thanks Speed.

Jack Thomas - 10/19/2012 3:38:07 PM

Nice article in STW!

Tommy Jackson - 10/18/2012 2:13:55 PM

Great video on handling steers. This is a great example of how there is always room for improvement. Thanks for showing us how you fix the issues that arise. This web site is so cool. Thanks for the tips and GOOD LUCK at the finals TJ

Paul Park - 10/17/2012 3:02:21 PM

Great video on handling cattle. It shows how even the best headers in the world can make it difficult for their heelers. Plus it shows what to do to correct giving less-than-perfect handles. Definitely worth the price of admission!

Jason Dierks - 10/16/2012 9:44:47 PM

I just watched your heading video and this is the first time I have ever left a comment.I have been a member since early when you started your website. What impresses me the most is your ability to recognize when you make a mistake and the desire to fix it. The fact that you have 8 world titles, I do not believe people give you enough credit for your horsemanship. I enjoy your website for the fact that you show what goes on in the practice pen before you go and compete. There is a saying that being lucky and winning is the result of hard work and determination. Thanks, Jason

Cody House - 10/16/2012 4:02:44 PM

Speed I like the video on handling cattle you broke it down great! It was easy to understand and with the runs you had on the video easy to see. Thanks again.

Speed Williams - 10/16/2012 8:35:19 AM

Ty and Joey your videos are up for you to watch and Jim glad it worked for you. Well headed out today for Oklahoma for some open ropings sure hope horses do as good as they have been lately.

Jim McClelland - 10/15/2012 5:56:04 PM

Hey Speed: Just thought I'd let you know, I downloaded the Adobe flash player onto my tablet and those videos are playing like a dream. Thanks for the personal tech support. Looking forward to roping with you in the early spring when my shoulder heals up. My Best, Jim mcClelland

Ty Harris - 10/11/2012 11:34:13 AM

hey speed can you upload my videos from when I was at your house?

Thanks

Toni Headstream - 10/9/2012 10:39:14 AM

Love the Girl Power video.You guys are great!

Speed Williams - 10/7/2012 6:51:32 PM

Sorry guys having problems with my Internet at my house have a lot of videos coming soon

Jeff Schneider - 9/29/2012 9:28:03 PM

Hey speed can u load the short round of the open at the biggest of the east. Thank you.

Joey Coleman - 9/28/2012 12:29:32 AM

hey Speed you told me to remind you about putting my videos up so i can watch them on here when i left last week . Thanks for the help .

sharon medlock - 9/25/2012 2:26:31 PM

Just wanted everyone who has read my blog about my son, that he roped Sunday at a Jr. Rodeo and caught. I CRIED!!! The Lord has answered many prayers.

Tommy Jackson - 9/18/2012 9:44:12 PM

Ihad a ball at the school last week. The most roping I have ever experienced at a school. There were several really good parts to the school but mostly being able to go right back into the arena after viewing the videos had to be the best. Another cool part is the fact that Speed and Coleman roped with us and I was able to see it done correctly time and time again. If you truly want to get better this is the school you want to attend. You will receive honest constructive feedback and have the opportunity to try what you need to work on immediately. I'll be back.

Speed Williams - 9/17/2012 11:21:59 AM

Lee Eady - 9/14/2012 8:45:02 PM Delete
I had a great time at the school I attended. It was amazing how quick the learning curve is sped up by using video. I feel like I came away with things that immediately help me set the run up faster and give my heelers a better chance to rope two feet. Thanks for the hospitality. Coleman was alot of help as well not to mention very entertaining. Coleman's ability to set a heel horse up to have a great stop was very clear in the video we watched of him riding Big & Rich!! Thanks for everything....I will definitely be back. Anyone serious about improving their roping and getting better should come to one of your schools.

Farmer John - 8/29/2012 5:05:37 PM

He is not alone; Kory Koontz, Cesar de la Cruz and Jake Barnes are a few that I believe have lost thumbs.

sharon medlock - 8/29/2012 2:57:17 PM

My 10 year old son recently lost his thumb in a roping accident. Is there anyone out there that has a similar experience that ,could give words of encouragement. He is still determined to rope,which Im proud of,just maybe a little leery.

clay armstrong - 8/20/2012 9:45:31 PM

THANKS FOR LETTING US WATCH THE LITTLE RUN. I HAVE BEEN ROPING A LONG TIME AND THE ONE THING I TOOK FROM THIS WAS TO KEEP GOING FORWARD AND BE POSITIVE. I REALIZE THROUGH WATCHING YOU AND COLEMAN THAT PERSISTENCE, WORKING AT IT, AND A POSITIVE ATTITUDE WILL MAKE A HUGE DIFFERENCE IN A PERSON'S ROPING.

Anna Marie Shurden - 8/20/2012 12:14:52 PM

I have been having the greatest time watching all of you rope and Hali and Gabe are doing so wonderful! Keep it going kids! Would love to see brother Phil and his beautiful paint perform. Good luck with your outings Speed. Love you all, Aunt Anna Marie

bud crist - 8/20/2012 9:17:39 AM

For some reason when I log in to the site it won't let me access the videos. It says I need a membership......thought I already had one.

Speed Williams - 8/16/2012 1:53:24 PM

sterling yes somehow i missed them sorry coming your way

Sterling Kelly - 8/16/2012 4:31:59 AM

Hey Speed, Any chance we could get the Pro-Am short go up for the Spicer Gripp? Thanks.

RAY BORZINI - 8/15/2012 7:39:13 PM

SPEED: MOST OF THE TIME PEOPLE OVER PROMISE AND UNDER DELIVER. I THINK YOU ARE JUST THE OPPOSITE. YOUR 30 DAY RODEO RUN HAS BEEN GREAT TO WATCH. YOUR VIDEOS OF YOUR RUNS, BOTH GOOD AND BAD HAVE BEEN GREAT TO WATCH. THANKS! R.B.

Sterling Kelly - 8/15/2012 12:12:21 AM

Speed is there anyway you can put up the Spicer Gripp Pro-Am short go? Enjoyed watching you there.

Farmer John - 8/3/2012 8:43:47 AM

There is a nice article at Prorodeo.com on Speed and Coleman in reference to their commanding second run at Dodge City.

Robert Mortensen - 8/1/2012 6:31:14 PM

thanks for the box and score info it brings into focus just how tough it is to put it all together as compared to roping in lets say the ustrc 10 or 11 roping thanks much

Christopher Glarrow - 7/21/2012 7:17:39 PM

Speed i enjoy watching and studying your videos.. i am new team roping jsut started learning to rope in march just started turning steers this month and entering local ropings and emntering my first US roping in Montgomery Alabama on july 29th,your videos are very helpful and just ordered a MachIII plus head rope from your website today cant wait to try it out. Being a Marine Corps. veteran i have found that team roping is a very good stress reliever and would love to be able to rope with you one day. I pray that God continues to bless you and your family and your roping.

God Bless
Christopher Glarrow

I would sure like to hear some more "behind the scenes" stories. Good Luck on the rodeo road.

Paul Buckner - 7/7/2012 12:50:15 AM

Speed,

Really enjoyed the voice over and the story about George Strait in Sonora. Keep them coming. You have done a marvelous job with this web site and one of the most endearing qualities is the personal touch with the videos. I enjoy watching your family progress in their roping and enjoy their updates as well. Progress reports on the horses are great too. Good luck at the rodeos this summer and thanks for your phone call the other day about the website. Just more personal attention that makes all of us fans!

Paul Buckner

Farmer John - 7/5/2012 10:54:39 AM

Wow! Great insight, for the first time anywhere we hear the dynamics on the battlefield from both sides. Coleman thanks for stepping up, and voicing over. This is great and getting better. Go get em!

Mary Donna Smothers - 6/28/2012 10:17:05 AM

Hello Speedy,
Ronnie and I wish you and your family, safe travel this summer, also you

Hope to See All Of You Soon,
Ronnie and Mary Donna

Speed Williams - 6/25/2012 2:49:51 PM

Michael I send patches to my subscribers that are willing to help me promote speedroping.com. Paul I plan on showing the good and the bad on this quest to compete at a high level again. I know I am not there yet but we will see how the horses do in the next couple months. Bob the videos from down there are not very good hard to see anything really with the lighting. I did not go to the Bob Fiest because two moons really just came around lately

Speed Williams - 6/25/2012 2:42:59 PM

Guys we are headed to Sonora Tx Friday and Pecos Tx Saturday. Just thought would go to a couple close before we head out for a month. Will keep you posted on where we are going and how we do. If you want instant results need to check out speedroping on twitter.

Michael Sean Mendoza - 6/21/2012 6:45:57 PM

Speed, what would i have to do in order to be allowed a sponsorship deal with speedroping.com?

Paul Park - 6/15/2012 2:30:14 PM

I am so excited to learn, as you prepare to take another run at the World!! I've got two teenage daughters who are working hard to be champions. I know we will all have a much better idea how to be champions after watching you get ready. I can hardly wait!

Bob Ward - 6/11/2012 10:44:03 AM

Speed, I sure would like to see a clip from the Danny Dietz pro-am short round and maybe some comments on the amateur’s common heading mistakes. Thanks.

Speed Williams - 6/7/2012 10:39:38 AM

I made a deal with myself driving down there I would give have of what I won back to the widows who hast lost there loved ones protecting our way of life. It really brought some strong feelings of all the people who put their life in danger to protect our way of life. All I can say is I hope we can get more people involved next year.

Farmer John - 6/5/2012 8:21:22 PM

Sure would like to see it added.

Speed Williams - 6/5/2012 5:19:02 PM

Daryl Lewis - 5/25/2012 12:05:20 PM

Speed i dont see you on the BFI list this

Dane McCracken - 5/23/2012 9:40:55 AM

Speed- Your knowledge in the roping business is unbelievable. Passion and determination is the key to success. Motivation and persistance is a must in trying to acheive any goals. But time is a essential element that is not always available in my schedule. So I try to gather up as much knowledge via the internet, youtube, and through your videos so when I make it to the practice pen I'm benefiting myself and my horse. Thank you for your dedication to the sport, your family, and helping others.

Come see us at our ranch in Clinton, AR at the National Championship Chuckwagon Races Labor Day Weekend. It is the largest equestrian event in the United States. www.chuckwagonraces.com

garrett sommer - 5/7/2012 9:30:36 PM

Doris Messer - 5/4/2012 11:12:18 AM

Thanks for the great videos from the Crawfish Team Roping event in Llano! Come back and join us as a VIP on May 15 at 4 pm for the official opening of the arena complete with a Chuck Wagon meal.

Speed Williams - 5/2/2012 5:56:39 AM

Headed home from New York

Farmer John - 4/28/2012 12:32:13 PM

Posting the runs on the same day of the roping is good stuff but getting to see the slow motion and hear the break down is the best. There is so much more than meets the eye.

Glenn Bailey - 4/26/2012 12:33:41 PM

Great job Hali, you have your horse working really good. I agree with your logic of your Dad's legs are longer so he should get off to get the ropes...

Blake Hawkins - 4/16/2012 8:50:17 AM

Second in the #9 at Arkansas Championship 2000.00 the website works guys.

billy lam - 4/14/2012 7:26:04 PM

Hey Speed,
Would like to know what you have your vet inject in your horses hocks when it is strickly for maintenance? Do you inject the same meds for a horse with sore hocks that you do for maintenance?

Bryan Wood - 4/13/2012 11:27:48 AM

Hi Speed,
Would like to know your insight on taking your head ropes off in the pin verses taking them off in a stripping chute.And maybe what your stripping chute looks like.

Chad Hohenberger - 4/12/2012 10:18:50 PM

Hey Speed,
Just got a Priefert Score Chute today and tried it out. Thanks for already posting some ways to use it's features to help with training horses. It was simple to operate and really let me mess with my horses. Cool idea and appreciate you sharing.

Craig Johnston - 4/10/2012 3:43:48 PM

Hey guys just a quick a note to say that if you are not on the inside of Speeds site you truly are missing out. His commentary on the things he is working on, his preperation, and everything that goes on to get himself and his horses ready is awesome. His latest post on Two Moons and the work he doing with him is pretty cool, you gotta check it out!!

Speed Williams - 4/10/2012 7:09:07 AM

I am back home for a few days

Farmer John - 4/1/2012 5:25:08 PM

Brian go down to Speed's last post.

brian lipsey - 3/31/2012 8:40:18 PM

How do you become a patch member

Fred Pfeil - 3/29/2012 1:39:45 PM

I agree with what Farmer John said. There is so many things to see and learn on the inside. Being a beginner, there are drills to help get you started, but you also can look ahead to see where you are going, and what it will eventually look like once you become more proficient. You get the benefit of watching some of the top pros roping at full speed and in slow motion. Watching how the horses progress and tips on working your horses is invalueable. There is always something new being posted and Speed pretty much keeps everyone "in the loop" with whats going on. He also is working on keeping new things coming and giving the guys what they ask for. I am so pleased with being a member I just renewed my subscription for another year and cant wait to see whats coming !

Farmer John - 3/29/2012 12:01:43 PM

Being on the inside really has its benefits. The horse training techniques described and the slow motion combined really give the objectives meaning. Randy went from being a run away train to a top heel pony. Rich in slow motion shows how he stays in the sweet spot making it easy to rope. The head horses are on the move as well. To go back and see the before and after is too cool. What separates this site from others is to be able to follow the individual horses then watch them compete at the top level.

Speed Williams - 3/29/2012 8:19:15 AM

Clint all you have to do is click on help (top right) and send me an email with your address. Ruben good job. James that will be a little bit busy the month of April is very busy but if one of those heelers come over we will stick it on them. Bryan that was a very painful deal because every time you use it hurts. Lots of ice and tried not to pull on anything for a while it took like 8 weeks for it to heal. Jake thanks very glad you enjoy it and good luck with your roping. Felipe if you are a subscriber to the website that means all you have to do is send an email to help (top right corner)with your address and we will send you some patches.

clint moore - 3/25/2012 6:25:55 PM

How do i go about getting on the patch team???

ruben guerra jr - 3/25/2012 3:20:36 PM

Bobbi williams - 3/24/2012 11:53:34 AM

Good roping son only thing i can say LEGS are keeping u home and doing the teaching that helps others become better ropers. Love and miss u all very much. meemaw

rick ham - 3/22/2012 8:09:02 PM

roper rick 3/22/12 8 pm than you for putting the videos of the roping on

Toni Headstream - 3/22/2012 1:28:20 PM

oops sorry found the information on a video from earlier in the month. Thanks

Toni Headstream - 3/22/2012 1:21:21 PM

Can you tell me alittle about the school that you are doing with Rich and the Horse trainer (sorry name has eluded me) in May.I was looking at the WSR web site, shows a #11 team roping in Mineral Wells.

James Brotherton - 3/21/2012 7:30:24 AM

It is easier to see how far yor are scoring with the Go Pro Camera, and see a good view of the heeler position. I would like to see video with the camera on the heeler.

bryan reiter - 3/19/2012 8:20:36 PM

how did you fix your elbow

Farmer John - 3/18/2012 5:58:33 PM

Cole if you scroll down to 12/26/11 there is some discussion on Hot Heels Vs Heel O Matic.

cole stevens - 3/17/2012 10:15:03 PM

Speed why do you like the hot heels of the heel o matic. What do you think which one is better.

jake lowery - 3/16/2012 1:52:32 PM

Your web site is awesome all of the dummy drills an different things you do on the hot heels has helped me get better an better. In 2007 I was injured by an ied in Iraq. I lost my right eye an suffered a traumatic brain injury Lucky compared to some. I was in the army. Roping is the one thing that going.thanks for Your site

felipe pinedo - 3/16/2012 3:57:06 AM

Hello speed i was wondering how i can get on the patch team i would really like to wear some of those going to my world series and rodeos please if u can send me some or email me on how to order them thanks speed keep up the good work and i just love on how u take care of the whole family and spending time with them have a good day hope to hear from u soon

Blake Hawkins - 3/15/2012 8:21:24 AM

I like the view of the go-pro seeing were your eyes are during the run ( I have a feeling if some of my headers were wearing thr go -pro we would only see the fence in front of them) cant wait to see the heeler view.

Stetson Clawson - 3/14/2012 11:53:14 AM

Speed about my horse! Its just like you said its been a long slow process getting him to stop with his butt in the ground and sliding. He sure has came a long way!I've been practicing much harder and roping faster steers and taking more time on machine! My dad has even had me run steers without a rope on him and just work on my position and riding my corner better and his stop! Its been a fun experience getting him where he needs to be! Can't to come back down with my dad and sis! Sister has been tearing it up! She's been heading a ton off our yellow horse and they are working like clock work! She to has been bugging dad about coming down for a couple days!

p.s. the go pro cam is honestly better then a thought it would be! My favorite part is getting to see the handle on the steer and watching Jade ride the corner! Definitely worth the watching!!

brian stanaland - 3/13/2012 9:27:34 PM

Thank you for up loading what you had friday night on who made it back. Love to see some steers being roped using the cam thanks Speed the inside keeps getting better.

ryan dunn - 3/13/2012 9:26:57 PM

like the camera u cant mybe see your hand put u can see the angle and the heeler the last steer u can see jade hand and deliver good i think when u get us to the cam u will see the heeler better from the head side and when the heeler is whereing it have him look at the header iam sure it will take some getting us to. but it looks good and i think it is funny to here people talk about ropes there are the cheaped thing about roping $100thousand in the truck and trailer and horses the rope should seam cheap

steve blain - 3/13/2012 9:10:02 PM

The point of view videos are the bomb. Its a good way to see you handle a steer. Farmer John hit the nail on the head about Jade's spacing through the corner. Also waiting to see those heeling videos. Keep up the good work.

Farmer John - 3/13/2012 5:51:17 PM

I like the the Cam. It shows how Speed's loop travels in the air, and we really get to see heelers position going to the steer, Jade to boot. He sure is spot on all the time. If you watch it real time live in person it happens so fast you really can't learn a thing. This enables you to analyze Speed's release and see the feet right at the point the heeler (Jade) goes to throw. Did I mention Jade? Love it. Thanks for going the extra mile Speed. I can't wait for more.

Kyle Conway - 3/13/2012 5:42:07 PM

I really like the go pro cam. What is nice about it on the head side is you can really see how you are turning your thumb down on every swing keeping your top strand leading instead of your bottom strand leading when you don't keep your thumb down. Maybe, you could talk some about this and why it so important when reaching. Does that make sense what I am trying to say? It also cool to see how the heel horse is approaching the corner.

Jason White - 3/13/2012 3:20:36 PM

Not really liking the Go Pro Cam, hard to watch for any period of time, there is less to see for me. I get more out of the full view like body positon, hands and horse position. thanks

shane carson - 3/12/2012 4:39:43 PM

Are you still offering speedroping hats for sale? I did not see any in the shop.

Farmer John - 3/10/2012 7:44:16 AM

Speed Williams - 3/7/2012 8:34:45 PM

RAY BORZINI - 3/7/2012 6:26:14 PM

SPEED: I WAS TRYING TO GO BACK AND LOOK AT THE VIDEO OF THE ROPING WHERE THEY WERE ROPING STEERS AND BURROS AND MAYBE HORSES. IS THERE A WAY TO SEARCH FOR SPECIFIC VIDEOS? R.B.

Speed Williams - 3/7/2012 11:14:00 AM

Ryan yes that is the plan to have everything I ride and use for sale on website and to talk about all the different products I use and why.

Brad thanks but now you can buy just credits to watch just a few or a lot of videos. Go to the store and buy a few credits so you can watch what you want to watch the most. Yes the video of that little girl is very inspirational

brian stanaland - 3/6/2012 10:32:18 AM

Who all you roping with at the strait and what you plan on riding down there good luck

brad hicks - 3/5/2012 7:33:55 AM

Thank you so much for that song and video Speed. No offense, I love your videos and wish I could afford to be a full time member, but that was most inspirational song and video out there right now. I really enjoy seeing things like that, it gives me hope for nation that has gotten so bad. May God bless you and your family every day.

ryan dunn - 3/3/2012 5:08:54 PM

looks like you are riding a new saddle will there be anything on saddles and pads like the bit section that would be great i have watched all the locked videos now. the barn looks great.

Stetson Clawson - 3/3/2012 2:40:15 PM

Mom is about to kick me off this site!! mom says she hears Speed's voice more then she sees me doing homework. I LOVE my mother but she doesn't realize that speedroping is homework!
Thanks Speed Love the site Can't even begin to tell you how much its helped me and my horses

Kent G Nixon - 2/29/2012 10:29:56 AM

I appreciate the video of the little girl that lost her arm. This reminded me how fortunate that I am. I'm sure it will touch others the same way. Thanks.

RAY BORZINI - 2/28/2012 11:10:12 PM

SPEED: I'VE GOT TO COMMEND YOU ON A GREAT WEBSITE. YOU HAVE NOT BACKED OFF ONE BIT. CONGRATULATIONS! R.B.

ryan dunn - 2/28/2012 3:57:09 PM

i liked the video with les vogt i an on page 21 was there a part 8 or mybe have not got there yet like tom balding bit but there are a little high priced for me. i live in saskatchewan and we just started to calve it is nice to come in and watch a video between checking just bought a roping machine and cant what to get roping but there is a foot off snow here i have learned alot by watching videos about roping the machine cant get enough off the videos great job speed

Farmer John - 2/26/2012 11:19:41 AM

Ryan I get up early when everyone is still asleep listen to the voice over then cut off volume. Learned to click on spots I like to see over and over or just freeze frame to see position of loop verses feet and arm positions. It really works nice on the slow motion sections where there are more frames, one of the many benefits of being on the inside. There is a lot to see if we don’t get caught up in the present. Sure hope Speed doesn’t forget wireless card during the Strait.

Speed Williams - 2/26/2012 7:36:54 AM

Ryan be careful don't get in trouble with the wife.I have had a few of them tell me they were tired of hearing my voice coming from the computer. I am very glad you find it that interesting to watch that many I see you did watch quite a few in the first 48 hours

Speed Williams - 2/26/2012 7:32:00 AM

Jeff update your profile and I will call you but in the future those questions go on the inside under questions . Just update your profile or send me an email . Just click on help on the top right corner either way and I will call you. I try to call two people a day and get feedback on how the website is doing in their opinion.

ryan dunn - 2/23/2012 9:55:45 PM

second day with membership had to take a couple days of to watch videos wife said she was going to change my password if i didnt get back to work great job speed cant get enough

Jeff Schneider - 2/22/2012 7:20:01 PM

Speed, I would like your opinion on the size of a roping pen to practice for rodeos? How deep should I make my boxes and where should I position them inside my arena? I am building my own arena and I need some advice from you. Thanks.

Jeff Schneider - 2/22/2012 7:19:53 PM

Speed Williams - 2/22/2012 12:58:14 PM

Your welcome Toni and thanks Brian but you can learn a lot from those other websites too. I only try to give my insights on what goes on in my mind and the way I see things. I have a lot of plans going forward but wow it takes a while to get anything done. B J I was at Todd Hughes house the day they showed them to me. He had cut part of his off and he like it. It was for people who were concerned about losing there thumb or already had. I only used it for one day but it was not for me but was a good tool to keep your thump safe. Ryan will try to film the barn soon glad you got everything fix on paypal. Jeff glad to hear you are doing good and thanks guys for taking the time to post stuff on here good luck with your ROPING.

Jeff Kenslow - 2/22/2012 9:22:12 AM

I agree with you Brian about the best web site. Im a memeber on others and they are helpful,But this site is by far the best in my opion. Anybody who likes roping should really try it. And if you ever get a chance to go to speeds house and rope DO IT.He and all his family are very nice and helpful. Its amazing how much he can point out on videos of your runs and what little things can make such a big differnce. I left speeds went to US roping that weekend and won more than the school cost. Besides getting to actually rope with speed that was AWESOME

ryan dunn - 2/21/2012 5:29:32 PM

got everthing going to day should have had membership long time ago thanks for calling me back and when will we get to see the barn

ryan dunn - 2/21/2012 5:29:21 PM

got everthing going to day should have had membership long time ago thanks for calling me back and when will we get to see the barn

B.J. Plumb - 2/21/2012 1:04:58 PM

Speed, I know you used to endorse Thumb Savers. Just wondering your thoughts on them and if you had or saw a bad experience with them that changed your mind, and that is why you don't endorse them anymore? Do you still use them? I have broke my thumb twice heeling and would just like to know.

brian stanaland - 2/20/2012 9:06:02 PM

If you go back on the road please team up with jade. Love to see ya"ll together for a year. Who do you think would be a good match for you.And love the inside of your web site the way you breakdown how you work on your head horses really helpful. Whoever is think about join the site its really worth it 100% i join a few other sites i dropped them i didnt like waiting all mouth to watch 10 videos then nothing the rest of the time.

Toni Headstream - 2/20/2012 2:25:58 PM

Speed just wanted to say thanks for posting the womens open(free i might add). I did not relly feel my horse pulling on me but boy did it show in your video. Have to score somemore. Thanks again

Speed Williams - 2/17/2012 10:05:27 AM

William Perry have bad news this is an expensive hobby horses, feed , maintenance on them and truck and trailer to haul the around. Have you figured out a number you can spend a month on roping. I see you are in the Air Force consider your membership paid on speedroping.com. I wish you the best with your roping hope this helps you there are plenty of videos on how to improve your roping and horses on here. Best of luck with your roping

William Perry - 2/17/2012 4:32:58 AM

I really like what your doing here and think it will be a huge asset to ropers of all ages trying to better theirselves at all calibers. I am younger and work but find it hard to be able to afford memberships and dues as well as afford to take care of my family, horses, and pay to rope often. Just wondering how someone on a budget can better theirselves and possibly get better at roping with limited time in the arena.

Speed Williams - 2/15/2012 6:55:28 AM

Wow I am almost caught up with last week videos I will never leave my wireless card at home again. Dusty those questions go on the inside for me to answer under question and thanks farmer. Yes the horses have made a huge improvement lately. Clay its not getting it out of her hand fast enough its she is thinking about other stuff and not letting go of it. She had her first day of roping good away from home this weekend will be talking about it soon. Alfredo have use different kinds before but has been awhile in the past my head moves to much and when I put it on my chest you can not see anything.Great to hear Jeff and I see you on here a lot.

Dusty Tattam - 2/8/2012 12:30:06 AM

Speed i have a young horse that starts on his right lead and drops into the left lead when taking the corner it has attendancy to get me to the in side if i dont keep him picked up. I noticed martys horse in slow motion does the same with his leads. whats your opinion?

Farmer John - 2/7/2012 8:26:12 PM

The last month of locked videos really sum up a lot of time, and training. To be able to follow the horses through the process and witness their seasoning is really unique to this site.

clay armstrong - 2/2/2012 12:04:58 AM

I WAS WATCHING ABOUT YOUR WIFE HAVING TROUBLE GETTING IT OUT OF HER HAND FAST ENOUGH. TYLER MAGNUS HAS A VIDEO SAYING TO GET IT OUT ON YOUR FINGERTIPS SO YOU CAN GET LET GO FASTER. WHAT DO YOU THINK? THIS SEEMS TO HAVE HELPED ME SOME.

Alfredo Virgen - 2/1/2012 5:52:49 PM

Speedy, Have you thought of using a point of view camera on yor cap. I have been using one for heeling and boy thus it give alot of feedback once you play the video. I bought it to see my postiion and if I was throwing my heel loop at the correct time. It works better than I thought.
It would be great if you bought one and used it heading and heeling, that would be alot of fun!
Keep up the great work.

Jeff Lynn - 1/31/2012 7:01:29 PM

I have been out with a laberal tear. but study this site. Im back just finished a good head horse, I rarely miss now. Ive always roped right to left but Speeds swing with tip down has changed my direct shot. Benn ropin with Ronnie Graves. im a 4 He asked me today to head in Tulsa saturday in the ten Thanks Speed. U took me to a new level.

Farmer John - 1/24/2012 10:56:53 AM

Say what didnt haul Earl?

Speed Williams - 1/24/2012 10:24:53 AM

Well guys headed to Florida nothing like a 24 hour trip with the Family and 3 horses.

Speed Williams - 1/23/2012 9:45:22 AM

Thanks Ricky glad it helped you there is a lot more to watch. Thanks for taking the time to post the comment be looking for my phone call soon. Best of luck with your roping

Rickey Snowden - 1/22/2012 3:36:37 PM

I have spent a lifetime roping calves, trying to rope horns now. I never gave a thought to roping right to left, always both. Watched both videos and saw every problem I was having. It did not take a month, but all afternoon to figure it out. That one video was worth the price of subsciption for the whole year. Thanks, Rickey Snowden

Speed Williams - 1/20/2012 9:48:00 AM

I can do that

Robert Mortensen - 1/20/2012 9:09:03 AM

how about a reaching category in your video library

Speed Williams - 1/18/2012 12:25:54 PM

Les yes I am trying to build an indoor arena so I can book schools and the weather not be such a factor. I am looking for a company that would be interested in doing advertising on speedroping.com. Right now I have bids from 4 different companies still working on the details on everything. I need to eliminate the weather from being a factor so getting serious about this indoor arena

Speed Williams - 1/18/2012 12:16:14 PM

Bob the buford is a good machine if you are by yourself and have no help but I really prefer the hot heels because you can change stuff up and the ground is better on your hot=rse if it does not get so hard going in the same tracks

Speed Williams - 1/18/2012 12:13:17 PM

Monty we are still working on the jenn stick to see how hard its going to be to add on. We are not sure about that but will know in the next few weeks to be sure right now looks like it will only be on the new ones due to the complications on it and the legs moving at the right time.

Speed Williams - 1/18/2012 12:09:12 PM

I just got a dally master as soon as I get it up and using it will talk about cole but anytime you can practice dallying it will help in the long run that one thing i really like about the hot heels is you can go slow till you get it done right

Speed Williams - 1/18/2012 12:06:28 PM

Susan I have no pull with rodeo Houston they would not even call me back last year about roping in the rodeo. I will have the NFR Package seats again this year through the MGM Grand. I will keep you posted on those as soon as they come available

phillip berry - 1/18/2012 11:43:51 AM

hey speed i was just gonna ask you if you could come put on a team roping school in oklahoma so i can get some pointers so i can get started what i love to do is rope ive been doin it since i can remember

monty hurlburt - 1/17/2012 9:18:54 PM

will the jen stick be a add on to the existing hot heels

Bob Unruh - 1/17/2012 6:53:14 PM

Speed - I use a Buford because I can't find anyone to rope with when I need to practice. I really like the ability to do repetition by myself anytime I have any spare time. I have roping stock, but my schedule doesn't fit any of my roping buddies schedule. Also, the kids just love being able to practice without me being there. thanks

SUSAN WILL - 1/16/2012 10:55:58 PM

THANKS FOR THE MGM NFR PACKAGE. WILL YOU HAVE ANYTHING THAT WE COULD USE AT RODEO HOUSTON?

Sherron Dudoit - 1/11/2012 10:07:03 PM

Whats up Speed, well we could'nt get a hot heels out to hawaii for a good rate.It was going to cost me $915.00 to get it to Oahu the main port and a few hundred to my island that sucked cause I was realy looking forward to getting one.Thanks for everything

Les Robertson - 1/11/2012 10:03:24 AM

Speed any question or changes on your quote just let us know and thanks.

Jody Higgins - 1/4/2012 1:25:43 PM

I am staying in the Houston area for about 6 weeks undergoing some medical treatments and was wondering if any of you guys out there no of anywhere to rope. I can be reached at 318-282-0703.
Thanks, Jody Higgins

charlie phillips - 1/3/2012 6:25:15 PM

Speeed My 4 yr old son loves the videos off Gabe. I have to waite for him to go to bed before i can watch your videos. If my son sees me on the computor he wants to watch Gabe jump the tire then wants to go to the arena and saddle his pony. Just wanted to say thanks now i have a tire in my arena. And a monster that keeps me on my toes. My son did win his first dummy roping 2 months ago thanks

cole stevens - 1/2/2012 3:47:37 PM

speed do dally masters give bad habits or are they good for you to use if anyone knows any thing write somthing thanks.

Charles Jordan - 1/1/2012 1:41:17 PM

Speed,

Happy New Year to you and your family. Glad you started talking about the different bits you use to get your horses working better. Would it be possible for you to do a short video on the top 4 bits you use and their pro's and con's?

ryan dunn - 12/31/2011 9:34:04 AM

that was good that u let them get there horse back there are a lot off hores out there to buy

nate mohar - 12/29/2011 3:49:31 PM

Glad to help.

Sherron Dudoit - 12/28/2011 4:52:32 PM

Thanks Nate, I got a call from speed and it tripped me out that he would go through the trouble of calling but he gave me the run down so Im sold on the Hot Heels, now just getting it to hawaii for a good rate cause shipping prices to hawaii sucks.But thanks again Nate god bless and have a safe and joyful New Year

Speed Williams - 12/27/2011 8:37:38 PM

Thanks nate love it when subscribers give there input on these questions but I will call him myself

nate mohar - 12/27/2011 3:32:44 PM

YOu have to throw a lot better loop to catch the hot heels and the head moves so its more realistic for headers as well. I've tipped mine over several times and it's still like new. I tried out both and found I got more realistic practice from the hot heels.

Sherron Dudoit - 12/26/2011 11:58:24 PM

Hey whats up Speed,I had a question about hot heels or heel-o-matic which would you think is better I know its a stupid question cause you use hot heels but its hard to get hot heels out here in Hawaii and I can get a heel-o-matic for $3,300.00 right to the warf on my island.If they both are ground drivin would you say that they are the same thing.I've been watching clips for two weeks now and can't decide, heel-o-matics legs seem like they dont go to close to the ground as the hot heels does and the back legs get closer to the front wheels on the hot heels to always have you be in timing then the heel-o-matic which is easier to catch cause its farther away.Please help me out.I really wanna get one soon I just got back into rodeo cause my son is a rodeo freak and my girls are loving it more and more.If you could help me out that would be a blessing
Thank you a bunch and much Mahalo

Farmer John - 12/26/2011 12:29:13 PM

koyle, for sure the problem is on your end, either you have a weak connection, other programs , or cookies running.

Speed Williams - 12/25/2011 12:50:44 PM

Merry Christmas to all and a Happy New Year

Nate Camper - 12/24/2011 12:34:36 AM

Have a merry Christmas!

john koyle - 12/23/2011 4:52:27 PM

I am having trouble viewing the videos. Issues started about 10 days ago. At best I am only able to view videos one time and then it says "stream not found." Other problem is that only a portion of the video loads and wont go beyond that point. Have tried loggin out and back in, refreshing, and cant get this to work. Suggestions? thx

Farmer John - 12/22/2011 6:45:51 PM

If you are thinking a about a subscription I will give a few reasons why I feel it is sure worth the money. There is 1200 plus videos available as is. It would take a while to dent what Speed has already up. Now it seems he is loading up on head horses and getting in a serious mode. Guess sitting through ten rounds live at NFR lit a spark. I hope it starts a fire. He is talking about a short score scenario and that has to mean more than jackpotting. I don’t think he is going to make a run at making finals now, but once he feels he can draw deep in a herd and still win or place it will be hard to stay at home. That brings me back to the herd of horses now. How he goes about finishing and getting the most out of them is there for us to follow. He is working on it and describing the process. Now for the heelers there is a lot to see and learn as well. Not to mention the class of heelers to watch in slow motion. It probably took a few mechanical engineers a while to come up with the new invention of moving front feet. Speed solved it with some duck tape and a broomstick.lol. If you’re not in time no reward. The chute within a chute idea came from the tarp that at one time was a barrel placed in front for steers to negotiate. Personally, as just a fan of the sport I enjoy all aspects of the site and the more I learn the more I enjoy watching. If you are thinking about it try it a month and find out what is behind those locked videos and see if it doesn’t help your horsemanship and roping.

KELLY TULEY - 12/22/2011 1:30:53 PM

sweet short go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! she missed the tutu shuffle lol

Daryl Lewis - 12/21/2011 1:00:29 PM

i would like your comments on saddle's fit size and make.

Speed Williams - 12/16/2011 10:19:08 PM

Chan Peters won it had Al from hot heels draw it himself going to have it very soon where anybody who wears a patch while roping (must be a subscriber)will be able to be in every drawing. Will have a way for people to upload a picture to their profile and there name will be put in the hat even if they are not at that specific event. Look for more details coming soon.

Reed Rider - 12/13/2011 10:52:56 AM

Did you announce a winner for the Hot-heels drawing at the WS?

Kathy Howell - 12/13/2011 1:12:51 AM

Hi Speed I am really interested in getting clinic dates for your schools. not really sure what to get my husband for Christmas and his 40th bday in Jan thought maybe I could combine the gifts and send him and our 4 year old son Wyatt Howell out there to rope for a weekend. My son eats, breathe's and sleeps teamroping. He would rather watch roping video's before cartoon's he loves your roping for kids training video's. And he never leaves home without a rope!!! He sure has a heart for roping and my husband is such a proud dad! His little hand even does the roping movement in his wrist when he sleep's sometimes it's the cutest thing. So I know the best gift I could give my husband and son for this special holiday is a special roping trip if you think it is possible to make that happen please send me an email with the possibilities! I know it would sure make my husbands holiday and birthday special if this worked out he is a true family man and works hard to try and make sure the kids dreams keep coming true. We have got the honor to meet you at the NFR the last 2 years in a row and got to see your kids rope at the dummy roping this year! Thank you for always taking the time to give those signatures!

lovingmyboys09@yahoo.com Hope to hear from you! Hapy holidays to you and your family!

Chuck Jowett - 12/12/2011 6:41:16 PM

is there no search function for the videos?

travis shelton - 12/12/2011 12:06:09 PM

Just got back from Vegas on your MGM package. The seats were fantastic. MGM's service to and from the rodeo was the best we've had in years. We'd like to thank you and MGM for putting together this package. Hope we get to do it again next year.

Speed Williams - 12/8/2011 10:50:51 AM

Have some but really having trouble with Internet this week only can load short ones

Ed zangerle - 12/7/2011 12:09:41 PM

Hey Speed ,

Speed Williams - 12/5/2011 3:13:57 PM

Chuck Buist - 11/23/2011 7:21:01 PM

Do you think they do a good job..?

Chuck Buist - 11/23/2011 7:14:01 PM

Hey, Speed. Where can a get the sturip covers for a youth saddle? (Like the ones on Gabe's saddle). Do you like they go a good job as far as saftey to keep their feet from sliding threw? Also, what maker of youth (small) saddle fits a horse and a pony? Thanks, Chuck

Speed Williams - 11/23/2011 7:33:42 AM

I have been doing a lot of schools at the house so moved my office out of the house and down to the arena. Tack room, feed, apartment and maybe a kitchen just getting some bids this week to finished it out while we are gone to Vegas.I really need to build an indoor arena but have not worked that out on paper yet but trying very hard the numbers just don't add up right yet.!!!!!

jim rogers - 11/22/2011 10:36:50 PM

speed whats the new building beside your arena?

Ty Livingstone - 11/22/2011 9:13:01 PM

Speed Williams - 11/22/2011 8:48:27 AM

If you are going to Vegas to rope in the WSTR at the South Point going to give a hot heels away to one of my subscribers who wears a patch in Vegas. The deal is you have to be a subscriber and wear a patch while roping in the WSTR and come by the booth and put your name in the hat for the drawing to win the Hot Heels Roping Dummy 3,000 roping machine. The Drawing will be on the last day of the WSTR.

Farmer John - 11/5/2011 7:58:19 PM

Grayson, USTRC is going to put out a DVD of shoot outs. Speed was able to put the preliminarys.

Grayson Dykes - 11/5/2011 11:48:16 AM

shane boston - 11/4/2011 11:12:08 AM

Byron Dermody - 11/3/2011 9:37:44 PM

Any more news about the stolen horses?

Dana Conrad - 11/3/2011 7:36:53 PM

We were able to catch your clinic at the USTRC finals. Listening to you talk about your wife and you roping together, made us think how wonderful it would be if you had a couples team roping clinic/school.

Henry Brown - 10/31/2011 11:09:28 AM

Well I tried to renew my subscription but PayPal wouldn't take my credit card so I guess I will have to wait for Ron to subscribe. Henry Brown

Farmer John - 10/30/2011 9:49:00 PM

Lots of healing tips with hot heels, training on heel horses, timing etc.. Not to mention slow motion of Rich, Clay, Jade, Speed, and others. I think to see runs in slow motion then stopping at different spots is cool. I anticipate some hands to show to practice for NFR. Im in.

kyle lovejoy - 10/30/2011 8:15:55 PM

I had been looking around on the site and saw alot of heading stuff and that's great but is there alot of heeling stuff too? I mean I know speed is also an awsome heeler so I just wanted to as some opinions before I paid nothing personal just curious

lou chavez - 10/19/2011 7:05:09 PM

lou chavez -10/19/11 hello speed i was ask u ??? how can i fix my heading horse seem like if i stay by box for few mins and if i want go in heading box he wont go in also he knows if im ready to rope also he will do go if i keep riding him and not to stop riding him and go on heading boxd but when i park he wont go in until someone lead me in.... how can i fix that

Farmer John - 10/18/2011 6:39:53 AM

The other roping sites are worth watching. There is always more than one idea on how to do things, but the new videos and content constantly being added to this site is hard to match. As a fan of the sport I have a new understanding on what to look for in all aspects of the sport and horsemanship.

ruben guerra jr - 10/10/2011 10:55:53 AM

hi speed ruben from school

Blake Teixeira - 10/5/2011 11:05:09 PM

Tell the lil sticker good job in the dummy roping..

Joseph Aiello - 10/3/2011 4:03:44 PM

Speed,

From Joseph Aiello/Michigan- attened the Indiana school.

I did not know how to E-mail directly so I'm writing this note.

I just watched the movie "Money Ball". You should see this movie! It reminded me of you big time. The most important part of the movie is when Billy Beane,coach of the Oakland Athletics, has a chance to win the World Series and says that it is more important that he will have CHANGED the game of baseball forever. This is what you did to teamroping!

I hope all is well and that you WIN the Windy Ryon this year.

Farmer John - 10/1/2011 9:29:38 AM

If you are on the outside you are missing out. A chance to watch five rounds of NFR and ya gotta see Speed and Rich practice in slow motion with the toughest conditions- Stepping it up!

Jeff Kenslow - 9/29/2011 9:53:37 PM

Just wanted to say thanks again. The last three days was great, I learned more than i could have ever even imagined.Really glad i got to meet you and your family.

david page - 9/29/2011 6:10:40 PM

how can anyone complain about this website? i have learned more from this website in the last year than i have in the last 20 years of trying to do it without any help.man i remember when i used to pick up the western horseman magazine just to look for roping pictures of the pros.i woke up thinking of roping,would work chutes just to be around it & now we have one of the best ever helping us are you kidding? not only that as a youngster in a small town i always wondered what some of the pros were like. i never thought it possible to talk to one,but after seeing & talking to speed in reno i would say this man is giving more to this sport than many of us realize. thanks speed for taking time out of your busy life to help others. i am proud to be a part of your website.

Chan Peters - 9/26/2011 8:07:08 PM

Jennifer congrats for the way you roped in the 13. After talking with Speed i will be in OK for the finials. Thanks Speed. Also was in Hugo at the WSTR a lady said something about learning to rope like me :). There was but one answer speed roping.com hope that she joins. Best training website by far. Thanks again

Skip Weltzien - 9/25/2011 8:45:02 AM

Speed has done himself proud, known him since he was a little boy, I'm proud of him.Like your web site. "Pineapple" Skip Weltzien

Gabe Trujillo - 9/25/2011 8:37:50 AM

Congrats to your little girl sir,she ropes very well!

Jennifer Williams - 9/23/2011 9:51:24 PM

Well I rope in the 13 today at the USTRC ropin in Abilene with a guy named Speed, anyway I was heeling and we were 7 on our 1st one a leg on our 2nd one and I hammered the 3rd one buttttt he got out of it, you would have thought I won the whole thing. I was soooo exited I finally roped pretty good away from home, good luck to all my Speedroping.com friends this weekend, let me know how you all do as well..

Speed Williams - 9/22/2011 10:55:38 PM

Two Moons is one of the horses I really enjoy seeing on your web site. Have not seen much on him lately.

Jennifer Williams - 9/22/2011 10:04:55 AM

Hey Spinner, Speed will get back today....... See you next week....

Blake Teixeira - 9/20/2011 6:27:11 PM

Just wanted you to know this is really me.. Hope everythings going good. Ill see you next week.

joe corse - 9/20/2011 12:10:08 AM

I thank your Web Site is the best. I really really enjoy your Videos. I am also thankful for all the free Videos we get to enjoy. I think it is great that we none Subscribers get to watch as many as we do. Thanks again and keep them coming.

Ben Clements - 9/15/2011 4:57:02 PM

Great video of Ty and dont worry I will make it over and practice. Thanks for the invite and see you soon.

Speed Williams - 9/14/2011 12:45:47 PM

Very happy to hear Jim good luck with your roping

JIM WELLS - 9/14/2011 12:53:42 AM

Just wanted to say thanks for all your good tips. Had lots of guys say its tough to start if your older than 35. I started at 39 on a 4 year old horse. Last week I got checks in a 3 1/2, 4 1/2, 6 handycap, and got 1st, 4th, 5th in the 2 1/2 and got my first buckle. I just turned. 41. So in less than 2 years of lots of practice using your tips, I am starting to be competitive. Hope to see more tips soon. Thanks again
Jim

Speed Williams - 9/8/2011 1:19:36 AM

Thanks Bob all I can say is I try to keep it interesting and there are other training websites out there with good stuff from great ropers.I think anyone who is wanting to get better should sign up to all the difference websites for at least one month to see if you can learn just one thing. It might be the thing that you have been needing to make a difference in your roping or your horsemanship. They do not give those gold buckles away or trips to the NFR. There is a good chance if they have been there they can help you with your roping. It is a way for you to learn at your own pace and whatever subject you want to watch how ever many times you want. The USTRC finals is coming and the WSTR Finals are you and your horse ready to win. If you sign up for mine for a month and don't like it. Just post why you don't like it right here on the comments page and I will refund your money to you and will fix it ASAP IF I can.

Bob OBrien - 9/7/2011 10:40:58 PM

The money spent on this website is the best bang for the buck you can find. I've looked and joined other roping sites and they are o.k., this one is way better.

Speed Williams - 9/7/2011 3:13:26 PM

We made it home safe had a great time in Alaska back to ridding horses lots of videos coming

Speed Williams - 9/7/2011 3:12:29 PM

Joey those kind of questions will be answered on the coaching questions sections

stuart mitchell - 9/6/2011 9:34:12 PM

just wanted to thank you for the videos,students are really enjoying the class at our school. it is a hit with the kids. you can see our progress on lora's website. thanks.

Steve Phillips - 9/2/2011 10:42:23 AM

Hope the earthquake and possible tuscomie thingy misses you and doesn’t cause ya'll much grief!! Stay safe. I'm saying a little prayer for you just in case.

joey adams - 8/30/2011 4:42:46 PM

Thanks for all the videos on the website... It is helping me tons with some things I am doing wrong on both ends. I have trained my 4 yo just off of what I have learned on here and I am already being offered a bunch for her. Its kinda fun to take a colt somewhere and have the nicest horse in the pen. Just from someone spending the time to help guys that need it. Thanks man... My young horse leaves kinda the same way that your chief horse does. I think she is leaving on her front end first? But I cant tell. Also can you put a video up about keeping a horse collected and in your hand coming across the line. If I check my horses up any across the line they tend to come up in the front end (not bad just enough to break timing). How can I fix this? Thanks for your time and your help...

shane boston - 8/26/2011 6:59:24 PM

Thanks speed for the valuable knowledge you have taught my son and continue to teach him great lessons great family

Farmer John - 8/26/2011 4:55:10 PM

There are lots of people glad Speed stays home.lol This site is helping the sport and lots of individuals.Get ready for the new wave of kids they are logged in.

Speed Williams - 8/26/2011 4:18:30 PM

Cole if you think a dollar a day is to high for my advice on how to get better sorry man I spent over 40,000 of my own money build this before I ever open it up. I see you are a 6 plus roper ever did the math on how much you spend a month on your roping now. There are over 300 free videos for anybody to watch with lots of short rounds too. Online training is not for everyone and I built this for people who want to get better at their roping and want the opportunity to know my opinion on how I believe to do things. I spend over 10,000 a month on this site with filmers, I T, Secretary, my time is not figuring in on this at all. I enjoy spending time at home with my family and allowing people to see how I practice and how I work my horses. I wish all of you the best with your roping and if you want my ideas on how to practice or win they will be at your finger tips. I have learned a lot of things the hard way just trying to save you some time on your journey.

Steve Phillips - 8/26/2011 2:35:15 PM

stay home a weekend and use that money to become a paid subsciber. It is well worth it and you will more than make it back with what you learn.

Cole Spurgeon - 8/26/2011 2:12:46 PM

Every video is just about blocked.. Good work. IF your rich you can get down with SPEED ROPING.

Wes Schubert - 8/26/2011 7:12:22 AM

shane boston - 8/25/2011 3:27:41 PM

shane boston - 8/25/2011 3:25:07 PM

Speed Williams - 8/24/2011 3:51:18 PM

Thanks guys glad you are looking forward to what is coming next been trying to figure out a way for my subscribers to win a half day at the house any ideas out there

Clay Carpenter - 8/23/2011 12:13:31 PM

Really enjoy your website. I always look forward to logging in and watching the videos everyday.

warren horner - 8/22/2011 9:34:29 PM

Thanks a bunch Speed. You are the best. Hope you are feeling better soon.

Steve Phillips - 8/22/2011 12:18:35 PM

Just wanted to drop a line and tell you and Jen what a enjoyable experience it was to get to come to your place and get to rope and watch the videos of whats going on with my horses and myself. I really enjoyed roping with Jen in the practice pen and at Glen Rose, and to get to heel behind Beverly Robbins, well, priceless ! I hope your back is better and you get back 100% asap. I'm back in North Dakota as of yesterday morning. Stopped By a Wrangler roping in Faith, SD on the way back and won a round and 2nd and 4th in the aveage of the senior 6. I hope to get to come by again when I make it back to Texas for a break, if not I'll see ya'll in Ok City in October ! Your Mis-Placed Texan, Steve P

Speed Williams - 8/21/2011 10:47:49 PM

Warren you are correct and there is only so much time in a day but there has been a lot of work done lately but remember my elbow and back has slowed done a lot of training. Plus have been swamped lately with schools at the house but the locked videos are coming. You are right and I am very aware of it and no it is not a trend for the future.

warren horner - 8/21/2011 9:43:54 PM

Hi Speed,
First, I want to say how much I enjoy your website and that I have learned a bunch from it. One observation. While I do enjoy watching your runs and the open short rounds immensely, lately it seems the site has become more about short rounds than instruction. My personal hope this is not a long term trend. I know you can't please everyone but I hope you don't mind hearing my two cents worth. Thanks

Rhyan Boesen - 8/21/2011 3:13:50 PM

Speed, Not only do I admire you as a roper, but as a person as well. I justed wanted to say you are an absolute wonderful father to your children. I love the videos with you in the arena enjoying those precious moments with your kids. You have not only taught me tips about roping, but how to be a fun father and making sure everything is safe and fun for the kids. Truthfully at the end of the day, its those children that mean the most! Thanks a Bunch!

Kelly Norman - 8/20/2011 4:39:32 PM

Speed, just want to say thanks for all the amazing instruction for Brady! Buddy and I produced ropings for 10 years, host kids rodeo camps for 7 and have received a lot of team roping instruction for ourselves and Brady, but i must say your website and instruction is by far some of the best help we have been apart of and experienced. As a parent i would suggest others to get their kids signed up and give you guys some visits! Blessing to your family!

Ferron Lucero Sr. - 8/17/2011 2:27:12 PM

Speed, thanks for the quick response, just watched it. This is an excellent web site and I recommend it to all ropers regardless of classification. God's Speed and hope to see you in OKC.

Speed Williams - 8/17/2011 9:48:51 AM

Ferron thanks somehow missed that one its built should be up in a few hours glad you are watching out for me.

Ferron Lucero Sr. - 8/16/2011 3:32:09 PM

Hey Speed, Awesome web site, enjoying the video's, did you record the #12 Gold Plus short round at Clovis. I don't see it listed on the videos link

Chan Peters - 8/16/2011 10:53:56 AM

enjoying the videos..
Are you going to load Jenn's runs from Waco and Glenrose?

brian stanaland - 8/15/2011 7:06:41 PM

Speed i met you at waco thanks for take the time to talk with me. Being on the inside is well worth the money i have learned alot on horsemanship i think your site is getting better thanks for all the work you are putting in to it.

kevin archer - 8/15/2011 4:03:27 PM

hey Speed are you putting the 13 shoot out from waco on here

Speed Williams - 8/9/2011 12:37:03 PM

Scott told Phil we have to get that one done thanks for the reminder

Paul Park - 8/9/2011 10:47:42 AM

Thanks again Speed for doing this website. Being a subscriber is like being personal friends with one of the top ropers in the world. When you compete, I get to hear, first hand, how you prepare and what goes right and what goes wrong with your runs. Invaluable!!!

Jim Chalfant - 8/5/2011 10:43:34 PM

It would be extremely helpful to some of us if you would video some lower number headers and heelers and critigue each portion of their run from leaving the box, approach to the steer, swing, handle, etc.

shane boston - 8/1/2011 5:15:57 PM

Hey its Danielle Boston...You forgot to mention on the updated video that his momma was there also to watch bedise Shane & Bobby Cox! lol

Just wanted to say THANK YOU once again for taking such good care of Tyler while he has stayed down in DeLeon with you and Jenn!

He looks amazing just the short time you have had him in your lessons! Tyler thinks your the BEST!!!!

scott wilkerson - 7/31/2011 8:32:53 PM

Hey Speed ,just a reminder, a few months ago you posted a video about tying on , and were gonna follow up with some numbers and Mr. Shurden video. I am still waiting . Thanks , Scott Wilkerson

Speed Williams - 7/29/2011 11:01:38 AM

Thanks Guys been real busy this week with schools at the house from 8 am to 12 then 7 pm till 11 back at the computer today. We be glad when it cools off a little but thanks for answering the question for me feels like I have a whole team out there.

Dan Tumey - 7/29/2011 2:06:32 AM

The ones with the video reel and lock on the right side are for subscribers only. Goodluck with your search.

Butch Johnson - 7/28/2011 2:37:25 PM

I am having difficulty watching the free videos or telling which ones are free. Maybe you could make your site easier to navigate. Thanks

Jim Chalfant - 7/27/2011 10:49:28 PM

Thanks again for calling me last week and working out my website issue.
I am enjoying the videos and have picked up some good pointers that I will try to incorporate into my roping.
My favorite video is your first DVD....WELL DONE

Jeff Lynn - 7/27/2011 7:10:30 PM

Must be his computer. I login once and can stay in. Keep those videos coming

Jeff Lynn - 7/27/2011 7:09:15 PM

I guess yall were ropin in 100 degrees weather at the Circle T.????

Jeff Lynn - 7/27/2011 7:07:21 PM

speed thanks for video on Hamilton. I grew up in Burnet TX In Missouri now. Roy Gene blew a rope and got out too fast on one but the other runs looked good. Held him in and looked almost like your Handles on a few. Way to go Roy Gene.

Jordan Slayton - 7/27/2011 9:03:20 AM

Casey,

They tarp helps with your scoring. Makes you watch the steer and not just leave when the gates bang.

Casey Dey - 7/26/2011 6:10:29 PM

Why do you have a canvas behind the chute gate?

Justin Cobbs - 7/25/2011 4:22:48 PM

Hey Jim, it sounds like you must be logging on then watching a video and when the video is done clicking on the back button on your browser which takes you back to the login page. When you are done watching a video just click on view vidoes on the website.

Speed Williams - 7/25/2011 3:42:12 PM

We never had anybody have that problem before

Jim Chalfant - 7/25/2011 2:59:42 PM

It appears that everytime after I view a video and want to watch another I have to login again. What's the deal?

Gregory Pope - 7/24/2011 2:23:57 AM

Hi my name is Ryan and I was interested in coming to your roping school would you please email me @ rpope2010@yahoo.com or call me at 850-768-1905

Jeff Lynn - 7/20/2011 5:57:03 PM

strawn is alot like my Cinch horse. I hauled to many a ropin just tied him so he would get used to all the arenas. But he cut his tendon a month ago did surgery he is off for a year. Hope Strawn and Cinch make it back. Strawn really looks like a cow horse.

Speed Williams - 7/18/2011 5:56:32 PM

cuatro hindes - 7/18/2011 2:00:01 PM

Hey Speed, this is a great training tool and worth every penny. Ive been a number 10 heeler for about 10 or 12 years. I never knew there was so much i didnt already know. Mainly my horsemanship has improved. It is very impressive seeing all of your knowledge of practicing, training, and winning all put on to a website that is in reach of every team roper in the world. Someone who is looking to improve is better off joining this website, so he can learn from these breakdowns that took years for you to learn, than doing it the wrong way and creating bad habbits for himself or his horse. Keep the videos coming. I also just enjoy watching good roping. Thanks. Enjoyed the visit.

brian stanaland - 7/17/2011 8:02:12 PM

on the last day of dummy drills can can you break it down what you where saying thanks.

Jeff Lynn - 7/14/2011 5:55:19 PM

breaking in 20 fresh one tonight. Gonna put it on in the chute. Ropings every thursday night at my place. Just going over videos to learn more so I can break them in correctly.

Speed Williams - 7/13/2011 1:13:36 PM

Thanks and very glad it has helped you. She is looking forward to another truck roping.

Steve Phillips - 7/12/2011 7:03:06 PM

Speed, Talking of the North Dakota ropings, In the last 2 months I,ve been lucky enough to win nearly $5000 at the WTRC's ropings and the All Amateurs Team Ropings, mostly heeling, which I have allways struggled with ! I give you and your site the credit as watching the best in slow motion over and over and listening to your advice has helped me make great strides in my roping on both ends. Haven't seen you and Jen since Tuleys at New years, but still want to head for her if I ever get home ! Thanks for all you do.
The Missed Placed Texan
Steve P

Steve Phillips - 7/12/2011 6:55:08 PM

Was that Chris "Spanky" McSpadden of Blooming Grove fame ? Cause it has been probably more than 15 years since I saw you in a roping pen! However, I have seen you on a couple hunting shows on the TV this winter.If that's you call me when your coming back north after more of them pheasants, I'm in North Dakota working and don't get to see many Texans up here ! Got lots of good ropings happening up here, though!!
The Missed Placed Texan

Speed Williams - 7/3/2011 9:51:46 AM

Thanks Fred and remember you need to work on catching everyone before you go and try to learn to reach. First step First

Fred Pfeil - 7/2/2011 8:30:52 PM

Howdy All, I wanted to comment on the site for the beginners and novices considering joining Speed's site. There is so much to learn in horsemanship, and roping and all the intricasies necessary to learn to catch. I have found that I have learned so much about so many facets about roping, and I have yet to try to catch from the back of a horse yet ! At first glance I thought it was a little more than I wanted to spend, but have found this is the best bargain out there if you have a desire to learn and improve. On the inside of the site you will feel like you are hanging out with Speed and his family at the house, making practice runs with him. There are times I felt like I was settin on my horse in the arena with them, and the voice overs make me feel like Speed himself rode up and was telling me about the run. He shows you the rodeo runs and gives details about all the good and bad things that happen when you get to the point of competing. I agree with Chris that the site is addicting ! If you are interested at all try it out, you wont be disappointed. I am truly looking forward to the day when I get a little better, so I can actually go to the house and get some lessons and
"actually" hang out in the arena with some really neat folks! Thanks

Speed Williams - 7/1/2011 12:22:48 PM

Chris thanks

Chris McSpadden - 6/30/2011 11:11:57 PM

Hey Speed- I just wanted to tell you how addicting your web site has become... I may need some marriage consoling because my wife seems to think I'd rather watch your videos than visit with her. Haha! I laid off roping for almost 15 years and your site has certainly helped catch me up on the evolution that has occurred over these years. Thanks and keep em coming!

Farmer John - 6/30/2011 8:18:25 AM

RAY BORZINI - 6/29/2011 10:36:02 PM

ON SOME WEBSITES WHEN YOU GO TO LOG IN, ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS PUT IN THE FIRST LETTER OR TWO AND YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS COMES UP AND YOU CAN GO RIGHT TO THE PASSWORD. FOR SOME REASON THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN HERE. ALSO I NOTICE IF I GO TO A FEW OTHER WEBSITES AND COME BACK I HAVE TO LOG IN AGAIN. WONDER IF THERE IS AN EASY WAY TO REMEDY THIS. THANKS! R.B.

cuatro hindes - 6/29/2011 12:17:26 PM

hey speed, how do i change my monthly membership to a yearly membership? i want to do that. i watch these runs and breakdowns every night and have truly enjoyed the website. thanks.

Jeff Lynn - 6/29/2011 1:19:32 AM

Placed 11 out of 185 teams in Berryville US. it paid 10 holes.,

Place 4 out of 51 teams in Lincoln AR. jackpot it paid 3 holes. '
Keep on helping me Speed. Im catching those short goes now. thanks.

Steve Tade - 6/28/2011 10:09:24 AM

Speed, conference call sunday night was great. Great tips and discussion on the BFI. Website is well worth the $.

chase jaroszewski - 6/27/2011 4:31:16 PM

I like the videos I would like to see different breakdowns and differnet angles in the practice pen. Like some from the back end or above the box and maybe some from the side to see angles. Thanks

Jeff Lynn - 6/23/2011 11:45:33 PM

what was pdl roping numbered cows seemed medium up. are were they slower?

Jeff Lynn - 6/23/2011 11:38:03 PM

WHAT DO i HAVE TO DO TO WEAR UR PATCH? AND WHAT WILL U CHARGE ME FOR THREE DAYS IN THE FALL TO CRITIQE WHAT i HAVE DONE TO APPLY UR ROPING TO MINE.

Jeff Lynn - 6/23/2011 10:55:52 PM

Jeff Lynn go to Coaching and Question for these kind of Question

Bob OBrien - 6/23/2011 4:15:22 PM

its very helpfull to hear how a pro looks at roping and what he considers during the run. Speed brings up things I don't even think about. Keep up the good work.

TYLER SAUNDERS - 6/23/2011 2:59:08 PM

Speed I really like the site. I enjoy when you have the higher number NFR caliber heelers over and you break it down. Really enjoyed watching Jade and how did some voice over. That was very informative. I would like more of that.

Farmer John - 6/23/2011 12:15:40 PM

To think that Speed has been doing this videoing and analyzing all through career, and we are now able to follow along and learn. Small price.

Chan Peters - 6/23/2011 10:25:10 AM

Hey Speed
Thanks for breaking down the runs and explaining what is happening..
Thanks for even breaking down the bad runs.
Enjoy your time in the cool country

BEN ATKINSON - 6/23/2011 9:10:37 AM

love the breakdown of each video . great help when you slow it down and break it down . keep up the good work speed

Paul Park - 6/23/2011 8:54:10 AM

We got a new head horse who runs up a little closer than we are used to. After watching the videos of roping right to left, I've seen a great improvement in my catch percentage. I've got my daughter working on it too. Just this improvement alone is worth the price of my subscription! Thanks

Paul Park - 6/23/2011 8:49:24 AM

Thanks for your breakdown of your Reno rodeo runs! Your comments on all the videos really show me the importance of video taping my and my daughters' runs in order to improve our roping.

Dan Scarbrough - 6/23/2011 2:17:49 AM

I think the website is great. I am a heeler so I like the breakdowns on that side a little better. I think my favorite aspect of the site is watching the top heelers rope at your place, I can watch it over and over again and copy their position, swing and delivery as I rope the sled or steers. I like the drills that you teach on the sled and I know my roping has improved immensely because of the website as I try to get on it every couple of days if not every day and catch up on the videos and perfect my roping. I would like to learn more about the psychological end of roping though, I think as ropers we can practice and practice, but sometimes need some help getting (or keeping!) our heads straight. My membership is worth every penny and I have won A LOT more than what I paid because of it. Keep up the great work.

Tyler Wayland - 6/23/2011 1:31:14 AM

Great Website, awesome tool. The membership has been worth the money, the videos and breakdowns/voice overs are priceless. Great website, better than any DVD I've seen.

Jeff Lynn - 6/22/2011 11:39:45 PM

Novice tell me to go straigh across on my handles. Is this correct

Jeff Lynn - 6/22/2011 11:38:23 PM

Jennifer u are more my level what has speed taught u bout gettin cows head. Du u take steer bout forty five degreed up the pen to take their head away and get those back feet out and together???????

Jeff Lynn - 6/22/2011 11:31:49 PM

Speed forg0t bout nft runs. how far up pen do jackpot level 10 take a steer up the pen to get feet close and help low numberedheelers to catch two feet.

RAY BORZINI - 6/22/2011 10:30:48 PM

SPEED: WOULD SOME OF YOUR SPONSORS WANT TO GIVE DISCOUNTS TO YOUR SUBSCRIBERS? ROPES, SADDLES, TACK ETC.? R.B.

Jordan Slayton - 6/22/2011 3:13:58 PM

Colby Siddoway and Caleb Twisselman won the BFI..

wes farris - 6/21/2011 10:43:51 PM

What kind of lights do you use in your arena?

brian stanaland - 6/21/2011 8:59:32 PM

can you post who won the bfi thanks.

Jennifer Williams - 6/20/2011 2:23:47 PM

Hey everyone,
For all you guys that are waiting to hear how Speed does here at the BFI, I am going to uploaded his runs as soon as he makes it, 1st steer 2nd steer and so on, just like last year..... BFI starts at 8am..... at www.speedroping.com....... (Jennifer)

Farmer John - 6/18/2011 6:57:08 PM

Jenn all relaxed on float and Speedy under the palm tree looking good. Left wanting to see Two Moon's one run, I hope rounds of Speed's go up asap.

Jeff Lynn - 6/17/2011 10:52:02 PM

speed ur site has take my ropin to a new level

Jeff Lynn - 6/17/2011 1:00:40 PM

Speed, Do horses with cut outer ligament in back of front leg usually make it back to head. Doc said one year off and had a fifty fifty chance.

Farmer John - 6/16/2011 10:45:54 PM

Speed on Hot Heels With Jade Corkill and Marty Becker has to be the best video ever on heeling. Great to watch in slow motion.

Jake Lewis - 6/16/2011 11:55:45 AM

Speed I have noticed that there is a lot of videos that I watch and then try to go practice what I learn. I find myself going back to the same videos over and over to really drill it in to my mind. Is there some way that each member can set up a favorites that we can save in a queue.

Jeff Lynn - 6/15/2011 1:50:58 PM

Speed it dont matter on my brown horse now. He cut a tendon in rope pen tues nite. he is at Oak Ridge In Edmond OK. Surgery could not reattach the tendon cut on back of front leg. I had finished roping. Tied him up with tie down. He spooked at horse fly maybe. Dont know Pulled back broke tie down. Ran all over arena full tilt with braided rope reins hung under back leg. It caused the back hoof to overeach and cut front leg. Doc says one full year till I can ride and He has a fifty fifty chance to make it. He is nine. I have been training him for four years. Was gonna just start hauling him next week.

Dalton Dickie - 6/14/2011 1:57:14 PM

I noticed that also shawn.

shawn loehr - 6/14/2011 8:34:00 AM

Just wanted to comment on Trevor's gray horse. I notice he lets him look out to the left every run. Trevor never tries to fix it. I know every horse has some quirks. Whats your opinion

Brent Durham - 6/12/2011 7:25:52 PM

No No!

MATT OWENS - 6/12/2011 6:59:58 PM

Speed, I just wanted to say again how much i enjoy and LEARN from this site. I have been using alot of ur procedures that you use on ur good horses on my new horse who had a few holes in him. It has really made a diffence on him. Which in turn has allowed me to win some lately.
So again thanks alot for this site. I have enjoyed the "big horn" dummy also. Im going to stop by later this summer maybe.

Matt Owens
West Monroe,La

Jeff Lynn - 6/11/2011 10:27:14 PM

Ihave an eight yr old starbert head horse. really nice. could make a pro level horse. i brought him along real slow. he is so solid. good motor but brought him along so slow he wont blow up. But I am a good four and he widens out during my throw. no duck just widens to early. Ronnie graves rode him today. did same to him. I can catch but not as sure of myself. Ron said to ride to end of arena after catch. just turn off a few a day. SPEED do u have any thing to add. thanks.

Speed Williams - 6/7/2011 10:30:36 PM

Hey Shain thanks need to come by and head and heel some one day

Shain Sproul - 6/7/2011 2:04:01 PM

Speed,
I sure enjoy your website. I am always on here watching the videos and keeping up with who stops by your place thanks for sharing these videos with us. Good luck at the BFI, my wife and I will be out there, I am heeling for Dr. Bobby Boyd this year. Thanks again for helping our sport so much. Shain Sproul

Speed Williams - 6/2/2011 1:18:58 PM

The adds on the website are 200 a month or 500 for three months. The add sizes are 150px high by 135px wide. With over 15,000 videos watched every week this might be the place to run a add the next time. Thats over 60,000 videos watched every month.

Speed Williams - 6/1/2011 9:14:14 PM

I hear you have been winning there Ed

Ed zangerle - 6/1/2011 8:11:09 AM

Speed,
The new face lift on your website is great. Thanks for all the hard work you,the entire family and your crew put forth on this web site.

Chan Peters - 5/26/2011 11:06:00 AM

I like the new look of the website.

Speed Williams - 5/26/2011 10:21:01 AM

They both are very good

Derek Conrad - 5/26/2011 8:37:25 AM

Really liked watching Trevor & Clay rope together, looks like they could hook up & be a real tuff team.

nate mohar - 5/26/2011 12:44:52 AM

If you are serious about roping and want to get better you should try Speed's web site it gives you a inside look at Speed's horsemenship and the way he practices. The knowledge is priceless, if you're not a member sign up. It's far worth the price of admission.

jorge guzman - 5/24/2011 10:29:11 PM

Thanks Speed,

I have seen the videos of Joe, he does good. I have two quater horses and trying to train them for team roping. One of the horses if finished, but the other one is not. I am very interested in team roping.

Thanks again Jorge Guzman, San Antonio, TX.

Speed Williams - 5/24/2011 9:47:01 AM

Mike thanks but there are a few more training websites out there now and you can learn stuff on all of them.

Mike Jordan - 5/21/2011 11:53:44 PM

This website is without a doubt the best one out there ! Speed is committed to making it great and it shows ! He continues to improve it on the inside to make it better and more educational for us members. It would greatly benefit any team roper at any level.

Farmer John - 5/19/2011 9:47:03 PM

Get spoiled on the inside. Rich, Clay, Paul, Becker, Culpepper, Motes,and Jade. All in slow motion and voiced over. Its too cool to feel as if to be a part in Speed's life. The training methods on head and heel horses for particular events, all of which Speed has won multiple times is really the heart of the site.

Justin Cobbs - 5/18/2011 11:45:55 PM

Just watched the first two rounds of JB's match roping. Now that's some good watchin'! Can't wait for the rest of the rounds!

Ismael Miranda - 5/18/2011 8:44:02 PM

I didn't have money to by the hot heels, but found a hot heels standing dummy built it to an axle and attached legs it works great for my horses and myself to practice.

Speed Williams - 5/18/2011 8:34:58 PM

There are a lot of ways to help your roping by being creative just try to get it where it helps you have control of what you are trying to do

devon pellum - 5/18/2011 6:51:40 PM

thanks, randy

Randy Friesen - 5/18/2011 8:43:21 AM

Devon, we built a sled out of half inch square tubing and strapped a Jakesteer on it, and built legs on the back of it, and it works great. The horns don't collapse but there is alot of things I can work my horse on and my roping, hoped that helps.

devon pellum - 5/17/2011 10:40:04 PM

I dont have enough money to buy a the hot heels dummy and i was wondering what else could i do to improve my roping

Speed Williams - 5/17/2011 12:40:17 PM

Javier thanks and good luck with your roping

javier quiroz - 5/17/2011 11:52:15 AM

speed u are one of the best ropers i wish i can rope whi u one day plezz comment back thank u

javier quiroz - 5/17/2011 11:52:15 AM

speed u are one of the best ropers i wish i can rope whi u one day plezz comment back thank u

Derek Conrad - 5/16/2011 11:10:22 AM

How about a Les Vogt & Speed Williams bit line? Just an idea, can't wait till the next Les video.

Mark Marden - 5/12/2011 10:15:49 PM

Just wanted to say I bought a Verizon Galaxy Tablet the other day and the videos play great with hardly a hitch. Anywhere you have cell service it works. You can sit in the truck and watch some runs before your next call if you wanted. Pretty cool.

Perry Patterson - 5/12/2011 3:45:03 PM

I really got a lot out of how you and Jade broke down how different horses fit different styles and different ropers. Watching Clay, Rich, Brad all ride your horses really helped show that. I think anyone can get a plan together for their horse and themselves to get better, and that's what makes it fun!. Thanks!

brady crane - 5/12/2011 10:19:51 AM

Shoot i just cant get enough with this site! I believe i have watched every video twice! Speed you have done an outstanding job! I have really been impressed with all the great film. Plus its not just watching cool runs its a great learning tool for anyone out there looking to get better! Thanks Speed!!

Speed Williams - 5/12/2011 10:02:43 AM

My email is justaroper@gmail.com for you subscribers that your subscribtions does not renew.If you want back on will walk you through the details

Fred Pfeil - 5/11/2011 8:42:32 PM

Speed, I really enjoyed the runs with you and Jade. I got a real kick out of you two hackin on each other ! Really great stuff ! Plus some of the spins looked really cool. It was a real treat to watch you two go at it NFR style !

Mark Marden - 5/8/2011 12:36:13 PM

I waited 16 months to comment on this site. Lost my head horse in Nov of '09. Foot surgery in Jan of 2010. Joined this site while I was laid-up (member#45). I did nothing but watch videos and hobble out to the dummy for a long-ass time. Finally scraped up enough $ for a good horse in April of 2011. After not roping but a handful of steers in that 16 months I feel sharper w/ my rope, riding my horse, and handling steers than way back in 2009. No offense, but while I respected Speed I was never a big fan. Things change. You can spend a lot of time and money trying to figure things out on your own but the video and great explanation breaks it down and next to a good horse, maybe the best tool out there. That's just my 2 cents.

Paul Park - 5/7/2011 8:50:19 PM

Every chance I get, I check the computer to see if there's anything new loaded at speedroping.com. I learn from every video posted. I highly recommend the site to anyone interested in imporving his or her roping. My wife thinks I'm addicted. She may be right :)

Farmer John - 5/7/2011 7:12:07 AM

My favorite aspect of being on the inside is the break down explanation and the slow motion of runs. Really get to see so much more. Speed really does give up the secrets he kept to himself while changing the sport.

Speed Williams - 5/4/2011 11:13:38 PM

NFR Tickets are half gone if you want good seats at the NFR better hurry

dusty wahl - 5/2/2011 1:07:46 PM

Mr Speed, Ilike the way you explain things and its easy to understand,,Icould watch a video 5 times and learn something every time,ive beena big fan since i was a kid,i met you in the mid 80,s at a jackpot in Michagin,and you were really nice to me,,,,thanks for evrey thing D.Wahl

Stetson Clawson - 4/29/2011 4:19:00 PM

After one day I was hooked! Learning these tips have really made my both my heel horses and definitely my head horse more consistent!!

Tommy Duncan - 4/18/2011 10:46:47 AM

I'm a beginner roper and enjoying learning from your web site. Ive learned things from here that has helped me on alot of things. Looking forward to attending one of your schools soon. Thank you for all the great info!

Jack Thomas - 4/17/2011 4:54:50 PM

In the video "speeds practice at riches house before the crawfish" that one swing loop on that black baldy was beautiful!

shawn loehr - 4/10/2011 6:15:49 PM

I won my first ustrc roping this past saturday. I have learned so much from this site in the past few months. I can't wait to learn more, thanks so much.

Speed Williams - 4/9/2011 10:11:12 AM

The short for the HORKDOG is built but its 16 minutes long.I am having a hard time getting it loaded but will be home tonight so should be up Sunday evening. When you are used to having high speed internet and then you don't its not much fun verizon wireless does not load long videos very well.

Farmer John - 3/30/2011 2:59:54 PM

What a treat! Speed and Rich, slowmow is fast. Creme de la creme.

Speed Williams - 3/29/2011 5:59:28 AM

Blake see what I can do

Speed Williams - 3/29/2011 5:58:57 AM

Cole I did not film it was not there

Speed Williams - 3/29/2011 5:58:24 AM

Going to take 8 adds on the website for 3 months for 5.50 a day that 500 for 3 months plus a one time set up fee of 150. I have 3 spots spoken for just 5 left the adds will be on each side on every page been having over 60,000 videos watched ever month with 1000 people logging in everyday

Colt Smith - 3/28/2011 2:51:52 PM

Hey Speed are you gonna put up the short round from the #9 Tuley Productions Truck Roping in Salado?

Blake Hawkins - 3/28/2011 12:01:19 PM

Could add a category for Les bit videos?

monty hurlburt - 3/25/2011 11:12:40 AM

Hi speed great web site, just wondering if you could touch a little more on handleing. seems like some of the viewers are getting confused with stepping in front of the steer and they put the cattle into a roll which is fine but in the middle of all that they turn the steers loose, they forget that they still have to keep contact with the cow. also what is the cost of the advertising. thanks monty

nick gomzales - 3/24/2011 9:48:13 PM

judy gillum do they have heel horses for sale

Judy Gillum - 3/23/2011 9:16:20 AM

Mr Speed we really enjoy your site. Thanks so very much. We learn and Learn. Do you think we will ever get it figured out. Oz has lots of horses for sale.

Speed Williams - 3/12/2011 2:04:10 PM

David Key and Jade won the Strait

Speed Williams - 3/9/2011 7:01:37 PM

Les part 6 coming soon taking about the Paul Petska Chain bit

Farmer John - 3/8/2011 10:56:44 AM

Zangerle. Ditto on that. The work ethic and talent that won 8 gold buckels is now put into this site. Trade secrets are revealed. To watch the progress in these new horses is amazing. Results are pending.

Ed zangerle - 3/8/2011 10:45:37 AM

Speed,
Today's info was great. For all of you who don't have a subscription to Speed Roping.com. You need to think long and hard about it . There is so much great info behind the Golden Locks.

brady crane - 3/7/2011 4:35:19 PM

I have really enjoyed all the great voice over videos. I have just recently started to get serious about heading and I believe your website has been a great tool for increasing my skills. Thanks!

Speed Williams - 3/1/2011 6:47:41 PM

Had Coleman Proctor and Marty Becker heeling at the house today and we were going at them like the George Strait. Should have some good videos of today practice soon.

Brian Gibson - 3/1/2011 1:48:11 PM

Speed,

I just wanted to say that your new questions & comments section is amazing. For you non subscribers, you ask a question and then Speed replies but his answer is kept attached to your original question inside a comment box which means even if it is a day or two after because Speed is busy winning the George Straight, your question and then the answer is all in one spot. I don't know how you find the time to do it, but thanks for honestly caring about helping ropers get better. By the way, I would like to see that George Straight thing come true so get to work.

Brian

Randy Friesen - 3/1/2011 11:09:39 AM

Listening and watching with what you do with your horses is great. It has helped me and my horse and given me access to know what to look for if I ever decide to buy a new horse. Thanks Speed. Have fun at the Strait.

Reed Rider - 3/1/2011 8:12:44 AM

Love the side angle. Thanks!

Speed Williams - 3/1/2011 1:53:58 AM

Those kind of question need to go to questions and comments I will answer there

scooter gallier - 2/28/2011 10:10:53 PM

Hey speed love the web site.i'm a #7 heeler an have a horse that ring her tail when i engaged the bridle before i make the corner. I've check for her being saddle sore an i've change bits. i've even bueted her to make sure it wasn't soreness.i've thought about aceing her because she gets a little excited going down the pen.Any advice would be great thanks.

Gary Spalding - 2/28/2011 4:21:35 PM

Thanks for the different angle.Good job camera person.

Speed Williams - 2/28/2011 8:22:15 AM

All Subscribers the Chat room is up Question and Comments is the place to ask questions.

nicholas wolfe - 2/27/2011 7:45:45 PM

You're making a video on reaching, can you make a video on heeling where to look. Hocks, tips of the toes where exactly you prefer to look at. I have a bad habit of watching the head loop go on first. Thanks nick

jerry brennan - 2/27/2011 12:47:39 AM

great vidoe on roping close. i have started to miss the right horn when im reaching two to three coils back. i have been messing with the angle of swing, spoke, delivery and were im looking. one time will work next time will not. when you slow the vidoe down on a close up it really lets us see your angle of swing and delivery (how much right to left and both at the same time) when your close. please do the same in the reaching vidoe soon to come.
thanks from canada.

Ty Cahoon - 2/26/2011 10:32:21 PM

i was thinking you should put a video up of just heeling like ya have been and have marty do it and voice over on keeping your distance around the corner. I'm getting better just need a little more help from him. thanks Ty Cahoon

Steve Nolen - 2/26/2011 10:23:59 PM

Speed,just letting you know.I watched the video on what you did with VIPER & BOB ,about not turning steers on your good season head horses.SO I took that advice ,not turning steers in the pactice pen,just tracking,roping horns going to the saddle horn with pressure on steers heads just not turning off.TWO weeks later WACO USTRC#12 GOLD PLUS WON 4TH. THEN AGAIN TWO WEEKS LATER WON 3RD #12 WSTROPING.That video was the different maker in my horse and how I prepard for those roping THANKS STEVE NOLEN WEATHERFORD TX.

dale hahn - 2/26/2011 2:09:21 PM

Hey Speed, like the video on where you look at on the horns and roping different types and sizes of horns. I need to renew my subscription as Im coming up on one year and dont want to miss any of the fun. Good luck at Georges ropin. I like your new head horse-wish mine would squat for me to get on :-).

Miranda Knowles - 2/26/2011 12:23:07 PM

Speed,

Love your site it is so helpful, but I was wondering if you could go into more detail about caring for ropes. How does the weather effect them, we live in northern Montana and really can't seem to keep our ropes consistant. They feel great for practice, the next day the hondu is turned and it just doesn't feel right. We try to follow all of Al Bensons advice on breaking in our ropes but do you think going from the bitter cold to an humid indoor can affect a rope that much? Also, Me being a girl header and if my rope gets a backswing i find it very difficult to turn my rope over, I'm wondering what are the common causes of a backswing or what can i do to fix the rope? Thank you for putting together such a great site!

Thanks
Miranda Knowles

Justin Cobbs - 2/26/2011 9:22:24 AM

Great video on your target when running close. I have always made the base of the left horn my target and adjusted depending on size of the horns...

Daniel Aylward - 2/26/2011 9:06:10 AM

Good video on running close, it should help me at the jackpot today.
Dan Aylward

Mike Hicks - 2/26/2011 9:05:58 AM

Running Close, perfect just what i needed.
Mike Hicks

Bobby Mote - 2/26/2011 8:24:12 AM

I like the new video. Nice illustration

Speed Williams - 2/26/2011 8:06:29 AM

Travis thanks and glad you are enjoying it

Speed Williams - 2/26/2011 8:05:33 AM

Dale Patience

Speed Williams - 2/26/2011 8:02:09 AM

Noah it all depends on whats going on on how many horses I ride in a day 1 to 12. Yes roping muleys can affect your roping steers no question about it but it teaches how to rope one around the neck if you need to.

Travis Scott - 2/25/2011 3:48:48 PM

Hi Speed,

I must say this is a nice tool to have, I cant think of all the times I wanted to ask for advice from piers at the jackpots or practice pen.. but I either didn't have the courage or just figured I'd work it out on my own. This is perfect...

I also had the pleasure of roping with Jennifer at the Ty Yost NAA in Wickenburg AZ this Feb. cant say it worked out but enjoyed it anyway.

Dale Davis - 2/25/2011 9:38:56 AM

PETSKA CHAIN, lets have the low down.

Reed Rider - 2/23/2011 3:04:10 PM

Jennifer looks like she's matching Marty on the 2/22 session. I'd say thats good advertising right there. It might be an idea to do something similiar with a header, or put some footage up of what you work on at your schools for the headers. There's work on her, her horse, and your head horses, but it there isn't much up on you working with a header.

noah abadie - 2/23/2011 9:18:40 AM

Mr. Speed,
How many horses do you ride and rope on a day? Also would roping muleys affect my swing or delivery while roping steers?
Noah

warren horner - 2/22/2011 2:31:23 PM

Are you serious? Brad cut you? Now that is hilarious.

Chan Peters - 2/22/2011 12:03:21 PM

I agree with Farmer John. I hope Les talks some about sliding gag bits.

Speed Williams - 2/22/2011 8:42:50 AM

Nicholas good deal I think you will really enjoy the Hot Heels and very glad you like the website

Speed Williams - 2/22/2011 8:41:06 AM

Farmer John - 2/21/2011 10:12:47 AM

Two great horsemen sharing theories and ideas I cant get enough.

Farmer John - 2/21/2011 9:52:53 AM

The les series is like a never ending soap opera leaving me in limbo. Speed it up speed.

Brian Gibson - 2/21/2011 9:35:42 AM

Speed,

Les Part 5 was awesome... Very good information on 6 pressure points that a bit can work with. Great stuff, I think the next part is even going to better. If you are not a paying memeber, you are truly missing out on some great information from Les Vogt.

Mike Hicks - 2/20/2011 12:16:53 PM

Hi Speed nice talking to you Wickenburg.

My problem is I get out and rope the horns pretty regular but pull it off the left horn way to often ? Any advice ?
Mike Hicks

Speed Williams - 2/18/2011 4:48:38 PM

Les part 5 coming Monday

Derrick Meylian - 2/18/2011 4:36:50 PM

I just wanted to say thank you for making it clear about roping from right to left vs. catching both horns at the same time. I was taught to rope right to left when running close when I was a kid, but when I got older, some local genius told me that style of roping was incorrect and yes, I listened to them. Thank you again!!!

Chad Hohenberger - 2/17/2011 8:54:37 AM

I'm with Justin

nicholas wolfe - 2/16/2011 8:14:28 PM

I searched for a while for a hot heels and finally found one. I haven't had it long but i enjoy being able to go slow and chill my horse out. I'll always have a subscription. Thanks alot

Justin Cobbs - 2/16/2011 8:13:20 PM

Would love to hear the voice over of your Wildfire runs...Congrats on the win.

Paul J. Welch - 2/16/2011 12:42:22 PM

Hey Speed who you roping with at the George Strait?

Dale Davis - 2/16/2011 9:10:40 AM

Good hookin at Salado. Good scoring in the short round.

Jordan Slayton - 2/15/2011 1:15:00 PM

Which horse did you ride at Wilfire?

Mike Shegan - 2/15/2011 7:58:56 AM

When you get a chance, shoot me an email, want to talk to you about a school in Michigan.

Speed Williams - 2/14/2011 1:52:29 PM

Thanks and yes it was a lot of fun to win a big one again

Ed zangerle - 2/14/2011 6:26:52 AM

Great Job speed and Marty !!!!! I think you need to put some music to your Wild Fire runs .AC/DC Back in Back!!!!!!!

ryan kuykendall - 2/13/2011 5:49:37 PM

Congrats on your win at the Wildfire. Me and my brother have roped at the amature rodeos (NMRA,CPRA,UPRA)We are winning pretty regular now,I was just wondering,when did you decide to go pro, and any advice to us about when we chould think about going. P.S John Adams says hi. Thanks for all the videos

carol becker - 2/13/2011 4:05:45 PM

Speed and Marty, great job, at the wildfire,

It is refreshing to know that there are still a few people left that care more about their intergity than they care about a check.
I raise roping horses and interested in the bloodlines of Two Moons and Sheriff.
Thanks in advance

Dale Davis - 2/12/2011 9:17:50 AM

Was that Clay O and Brock Hanson winning first. Im pretty sure that TG won 2 and 3. Good job on that head loop, anybody that has taken that money before will tell you that you always end up paying it back, usually with interest. The system has a way of balancing itself.

Max Bighorse - 2/11/2011 5:04:01 PM

Good Call and Good Ethics at the San Angelo Roping. I would have felt aweful taking the money too. Gut feeling is the best decision maker.

Ed zangerle - 2/11/2011 1:19:09 PM

Hey Speed,
Just a quick note. I think you made the right call at the San Angelo roping. Just think of all the slander, trash talking and neg publicity that would be out there right now if you would have taken one red cent at that roping. Instead once again you demonstrated why you are a profesional in your game. Good job.
E.Z.

Mike Fuller - 2/11/2011 10:51:23 AM

I have four kids 12yrs to 8yrs. They study your site all the time and they lookup to you Speed. I appreciate you confirming that its the right thing to do!

Mike Fuller

Brian Gibson - 2/11/2011 10:46:50 AM

Speed, Good stuff on making the call to not take the check. In todays world there are so many chances for people to take the easy way out. Your word and integrity should be important. You are a true role model for young ropers to pay attention to. Thanks for that.

BRAD ONEAL - 2/11/2011 10:01:03 AM

Good call man. Impressive not everyone would do that. you da man. brad oneal

dale hahn - 2/11/2011 1:33:23 AM

Hey Speed-great ropin-I didnt see the ilegal head catch either. Sure tickled that Clay won.

joel bezugley - 2/10/2011 12:50:09 PM

hello speed, just wanted to thank you for all the great information, and great drills for me and my horses. This website is truly one of a kind, and I appreciate all the time and effort you have put in, and cant wait for the latest videos to come onto the site. Thanks again from Kelowna,BC, canada!

warren horner - 2/10/2011 8:50:34 AM

Hey Speed, Great stuff but I can't handle the suspense. When do we get to hear from Les again. Thanks again, You have helped me a bunch.

Brian Gibson - 2/9/2011 2:52:25 PM

MeMa looked a little wolfy in her videos. Great stuff!!

Chan Peters - 2/9/2011 11:32:35 AM

enjoyed the web chat last night great information. To those who missed out maybe next time.

Roger Rossow - 2/8/2011 10:38:10 PM

speed, Just wondering what happened to your good lookin dun head horse your daughter was getting legged up for you?

thanks

shay carroll - 2/8/2011 11:48:30 AM

Hey Speed just wanted to leave a comment on how great I think your website is! It is has helped me with my roping and more importantly my horsemanship so much! To everyone that stops by and watches the free videos you are really missing out! Speed can slow things down and explain them like no one else! Currently I am 9 Elite heeler and carry a maximum heeling classification in both ACTRA and WTRC and I find something new and BENEFICIAL on the site everyday!So if your serious about winning, get a membership, get on the inside, and take your roping to a new level!!! Thanks again my friend for all the help and support and I cant wait to see more videos.

Craig Johnston - 2/8/2011 8:53:09 AM

Hi Speed
I was wondering about my membership. I do not remember when I signed up, but I know it is coming due. Do you send me an invoice reminder? I am really enjoying the site, and do not want my membership to run out. Thanks again for all the work you put into the site.
Craig

noah abadie - 2/7/2011 6:20:32 PM

Hey mr. speed,

just wanted to say i went to a roping im mississippi this weekend and won the #8. We were a 26.3 on 8 head. we won first out of 123 teams. this was my first big roping and it was the first roping for the horse i roped on that i trained. There wasn't one person there advertising for speedroping.com so if you send me a few patches i will wear them and tell people how great and helpful speedroping is, even the free videos.

Noah

Gordon Hiebert - 2/7/2011 7:44:02 AM

Enjoyed the short rounds you put on the number system is great it puts everone in position to win Was nice to see my good friend Art Gallais win one

Leo Lopez, Jr - 2/7/2011 12:08:21 AM

I am interested in getting a lesson, can you give me more info.

Max Bighorse - 2/5/2011 9:39:13 PM

Thanks for having Jennifer as a student, I am learning right along with her. I am a low number heeler, I know what I was doing wrong now. Lots of snow here, so I have the Heel-o-matic set up on the ground and timing it. Thanks a bunch Speed!!!

Chan Peters - 2/5/2011 5:51:50 PM

Awesome information from Les Thanks Ready for the next one

Chan Peters - 2/5/2011 10:13:08 AM

Oh yea tell Jenn thanks for being patient

Chan Peters - 2/5/2011 10:11:53 AM

Speed,
Thank you for the video with Jenn. I think that this is a problem that most heelers have. Using the arrows and stoping the video very helpful. Thanks again

Speed Williams - 2/4/2011 10:31:22 AM

Rick Yes I do schools for a week long and I will send you an email

Speed Williams - 2/4/2011 10:30:20 AM

Ed we did not talk about conformations because I have 4 hours of tape about just bits can you imagine how long a conversation that would have been. We both would get off subject way to easy and that one will have to wait a while

Speed Williams - 2/4/2011 10:26:40 AM

Chan I think you will like part 4 coming very soon

Ed zangerle - 2/4/2011 8:28:38 AM

Hello Speed,
I'm enjoying every bit of the info you and Mr. Les are putting out there. I do have a question to ask and i hope I'm not getting ahead of of your show by asking, will you both be talking about the different types of comformations you may be looking for in a Head horse versus a Heel horse.
Thanks.
E.Z.

rick scruggs - 2/3/2011 9:29:25 PM

speed, i would be interested in one of ur schools at ur house but i live on the east coast so i would like to come for at least a week if you do that to make my trip worth while just let me know if its possible my email is rickscruggs@msn.com

Chan Peters - 2/3/2011 8:12:12 PM

Les's Video #4 coming to a computer near you!!!
Thanks there is a lot of useful information.

Brandi Pontin - 2/3/2011 5:40:28 PM

Thank you for the latest Video on how to be ready when you get there. I found it very beneficial.
I appreciate it when you post the back to basics lessons.

Speed Williams - 2/2/2011 11:12:24 PM

Colt good luck with your roping

Speed Williams - 2/2/2011 11:11:18 PM

Thanks for all the comments again on the website and thanks for all the help promoting it out there.

Speed Williams - 2/2/2011 11:08:54 PM

Todd thanks for answering Darrel Question for him

Speed Williams - 2/2/2011 11:07:49 PM

Pete there is a lot of advice on the inside of the website on those issues

Speed Williams - 2/2/2011 11:05:43 PM

Dale I use a sony 1080 full HD

Speed Williams - 2/2/2011 11:03:09 PM

Charles I am very happy to hear your investment to the website has paid off already.

Speed Williams - 2/2/2011 11:00:47 PM

Derek I have a lot of video coming with Les

Speed Williams - 2/2/2011 10:59:44 PM

Noah well does she do it in ever box you go to or just the one at the house

Speed Williams - 2/2/2011 10:58:02 PM

Gerardo there are a lot of drills on here about heel horses but you need to sign up and watch to understand what to do

Todd Asquith - 2/2/2011 8:23:59 PM

Hey Darrel, I live in Arizona and at a lot of the ropings they flag on the heels. The header does not have to face. The heeler dallys and stops the steer, then the flag drops. At the World Series and the US ropings you still have to face.

colt papy - 2/2/2011 4:34:50 PM

hey Mr.Speed this is Colt Papy at rodeos i rope both horns at the same time. but when i rope big horns i just started roping right to left it works great on the dummy. God Bless.

colt papy - 2/2/2011 4:00:00 PM

Hey Mr.Williams, I am Colt Papy I wanted to tell you thank you for sponsoring me. It is a great honor to represent your website. I wil do my best to get other members. Thank you. God Bless

Darrel Dickey - 2/2/2011 2:55:25 PM

Hey Speed, I am Darrel Dickey from Wichita Falls Texas. I just watched the Beavers # 12 short round. What is the deal out there with them not facing up? They get flags way before they face? Is that just that flag man or is a regional thing. Just wondering.

Pete Luna - 2/2/2011 2:20:38 PM

Hi Speed My Name Is Pete im From South Texas. I been roping for a while now and I just moved to Laredo and Im having trouble handling cattle im borrowin a horse from a man whos place i rope at hes a nice horse but tends to run threw my hand and i cant get him to set when i cross to pick the steers head up it seems like he just runs threw my hand and wants to leave and makes me handle the cattle horribly do u have any advice?

bruce cline - 2/2/2011 1:24:46 PM

i started wrapping my heel o matic legs with vet wrap that way if you hit too high the loop doesnt slide down as easy its more like real legs of steer

Dale Davis - 2/2/2011 9:29:56 AM

you are going to draw this bit deal in to 20 different videos arent you. haha. i really agree with what has been discussed thus far, esp. the part about the (team) roper being the most misled and "in the Dark" horse people when it comes to bits and bitting. I am looking forward to more enlightenment.

Chan Peters - 2/1/2011 9:03:49 PM

Quit teasing us with Les I want more info. JK (not really)

dale detten - 2/1/2011 10:26:05 AM

What type of camcorder do you use for your videos?

Reed Rider - 2/1/2011 10:04:07 AM

I had the oppurtunity to speak with Jennifer in Aguila during the 9 roping about her width riding down the arena, and I wanted to thank her for her input. After riding wider, I didn't miss another steer the rest of the weekend. I did't win a check, but I was happy not to miss. If you could do me the favor and thank her for me, I'm sure she'll remember me. She was also very very respectful and fun to speak with. I am excited to get back out there again.

Brian Gibson - 2/1/2011 8:39:30 AM

Speed, Good choice staying out west. It is a cold week in Texas. -15 wind chills today in Wichita Falls.

Paul Park - 1/30/2011 10:32:04 AM

Thanks for addressing the issue of bits. I'm looking forward to hearing more!

Jay Silman - 1/28/2011 12:02:16 PM

Scoring videos are awesome and really enjoyed watching yall rope in Ft. Worth. Anybody just gettin to read about these type videos its well worth getting full access. Just think you can pay for it if you just win 1 more roping than you would have without it.

colt papy - 1/27/2011 7:44:26 PM

i really like the reaching video. Godbless speedroping.com

Casey Dunlop - 1/27/2011 12:12:24 PM

Really like your breakdown on right horn left horn compared to roping both horns at the same time and when you should use them. There have been guys that have put on schools and confused people up here on the subject and told them to rope both horns at the same but they failed to tell them you need distance for it to work. Thanks alot for the clarification on this subject.

charles raley - 1/27/2011 7:57:56 AM

Charles Raley
Speed , i watch your videos on roping, escpecially heeling, and watching how you get postion and your delivery helped me alot, i won the 9 ustrc roping in Waco this month and i have never won that much before, until i watched your videos, i also bought a hot heels and rope that daily, thanks a bunch

Dale Davis - 1/26/2011 10:10:52 AM

scoring vids are great. The video on facing is good too. I have been arguing with people for a long time about logging horses to the right and how much it helps them face. I have been doing it that way for about 10 years now and as long as you keep them honest now and then by not facing them, they will always be able to face. I mentioned to someone several years ago about how your horses kept the steers moving through the finish, allowing you to face much earlier and still keep the feet in that heel loop by not changing up the timing in the back end as the heelers dally. Jake's Horse Barney was a great facer also.

Derek Conrad - 1/24/2011 6:58:01 PM

I can't wait for your and Les's input on bits. I'm a huge fan of Les and his way of training & riding. The two of you can sure shed alot of light on this subject. Can't wait.

noah abadie - 1/24/2011 6:49:40 PM

Gerardo i'm not a heeler but i have heard about people getting a rank donkey and heeling it and if your horse gets too close he gets kicked. it may be crude but it may be affective

noah abadie - 1/24/2011 6:47:06 PM

She has only left the box about three times and the box is padded?

gerardo martinez - 1/24/2011 4:41:41 PM

speed,
Im having trouble with my heeling horse he is going in to hard and he always bumps with the steers i put him farther from the steer but he still keeps doing the same thing, what do you think i sholud do?
Thanks.

Keven Daniel - 1/24/2011 4:18:21 PM

I just want everyone to know this web site is not just for the beginners and the up and coming. This web site helps me in so many ways. Speed can take things and break it down in ways you will never thank of. Speed it is great and thanks for all the help and cant wait to see more and learn so much more. Thanks!!!

Clay Carpenter - 1/24/2011 1:17:02 PM

I really enjoy your website. I especially enjoy getting to watch the ropings and rodeos.

Speed Williams - 1/24/2011 12:01:58 PM

Thanks for all the comments on here I think it really helps when people read what you guys and girls say about the inside of the website. All I am going to say we are just in the beginning of this there is a whole lot more to come. For those of you who take the time to post stuff on here thanks ALOT!!!!.

Speed Williams - 1/24/2011 11:56:13 AM

Noah is it just your box or any box sounds like he has hit his legs when leaving and does not want to do it again .Make sure he can not hurt his legs when leaving the box.

Speed Williams - 1/24/2011 11:51:46 AM

Shane there are a lot of videos talking about getting your horse to leave off you hand but will try to do another one in detail in the next couple weeks

Speed Williams - 1/24/2011 11:42:50 AM

Brian should have a lot of videos on sheriff in the future

Speed Williams - 1/24/2011 11:42:02 AM

Wes I need to make a video on that

noah abadie - 1/22/2011 6:32:38 PM

Mr.Speed,

I am working with a young horse that has a excelant back up but will not back up into the corner of the box. Any tips?

Noah abadie

everett hargrave - 1/22/2011 6:18:05 PM

Speed, just watched your newest videos on SOCRING YOUR HORSE. Diagraming your explainations adds new dimension. Very good stuff. If your can use it more. Thanks.

mary barone - 1/21/2011 11:32:24 PM

Thank you so much for the videos on scoring. Very helpful information. Love it. Your site keeps getting better and better. Thanks again.

shane carson - 1/21/2011 5:25:52 PM

Kudos on the scoring and angle of the start videos! You mentioned about your horse leaving off your hand and about a horse that does not stall will give you a good start. My horse is one that stalls and I don't score well because of it so if you can comment on how to fix that I would appreciate it! Keep up the good work!

Autumn Sears - 1/21/2011 5:25:04 PM

So I am out of commission for 7 months. Just when I start to win and place at all the ropings. I will be sitting out for the next few months. I am still going to continue to watch ur videos and keep throwing the rope. Thanks for the calls in the past and all the great videos that have helped me continue to be a better roper.

Steve Scharien - 1/21/2011 3:02:35 PM

Thanks very much for the detailed look at scoring on your recent videos. Consistently scoring well is probably my biggest weakness and I believe it is one of the most important factors in determining my success or failure at the ropings. Any further knowledge or insight you can share around scoring and consistently getting good starts would be greatly appreciated. Keep up the good work.

Steve

Bobby Mote - 1/21/2011 2:50:04 PM

I sure do appreciate the videos on scoring. I'd like to see more on this subject. Thanks for doing a great job

R.T. McElreath - 1/21/2011 6:53:45 AM

Thanks for breaking the scoring process down with the arrows and angles.
Just to be able to view this in slow motion is very benefical with the
arrows as reference point. Thanks for your effort.

James Pickens,Jr. - 1/20/2011 9:41:35 PM

Jim Pickens, Great concept and training tool.especially for someone like me who does'nt have the time to practice everyday.Even the tips on the vet check and a horse at a different areana are insightful. Thanks for your commitment to making us better ropers. Holla.

Chad Hohenberger - 1/20/2011 7:48:27 PM

Enjoyed scoring videos. Do you ever set up anything like a barrier meter to practice your start?

dale hahn - 1/20/2011 7:04:07 PM

Great video on scoring,Speed. I really like the arrows and the info on what you look at etc. Are you going to San Angelo this year?

Dale Hahn

Tony Banfield Jr - 1/20/2011 4:01:32 PM

Great video on Angle of Your Start. Very helpful.

Tony

Brian Gibson - 1/20/2011 3:17:03 PM

Speed,

On Sherrif today you were talking about him going to go through a problem staying down and gathered up. I would like in a future video with Sherrif for you to talk about how you plan to work on that problem. I have a younger horse that can get to climbing a little bit and it would be good to see how you work on that.

Thanks

BG

Wes Schubert - 1/20/2011 2:38:18 PM

Speed,

What are your thoughts on saddle pads for your head horses. I prefer to just use one pad but I've been told that I should use a felt pad with a Navajo. I would love to know what you think? Brand, Type, etc...

Mark Graham - 1/19/2011 3:58:38 PM

Speed,

Thanks for the facing drills. I have a young horse that I can't wait to tune-up using this drill.

Mark Graham

shay carroll - 1/19/2011 2:19:34 PM

The object when you practice is to prepare your horse so when you leave home you have the oppurtunity to rope! SPEED WIllIAMS

Speed Williams - 1/19/2011 10:46:46 AM

He says my Calender is suppose to be up in the next few days so I can post where my schools are and when this year. Will be doing a few away from home and the majority at my house in De Leon TX. More info coming very soon and the chat room is still coming but have made some changes to how it works.

Speed Williams - 1/18/2011 9:36:36 PM

Bill sent you a text or you can email me at justaroper@gmail.com

Bill Garr - 1/18/2011 6:26:40 PM

Speed, How do you schedule a day at your house?

Brian Gibson - 1/18/2011 2:38:51 PM

8 Time World Champion talking about internet upload speed. Who would have ever thought it?

Speed Williams - 1/18/2011 10:04:51 AM

Brian thanks for the help

Speed Williams - 1/18/2011 10:04:26 AM

Thomas can you play videos on you tube with out it stopping because if you have high speed it should not stop. Brian is right just start it then wait for a few min but would recommend checking you internet upload speed

Speed Williams - 1/18/2011 10:00:51 AM

Kurt balance is not my reason because I roped on viper all the time in the practice pen with no tiedown. The only time he would throw his head up was if he stumbled but if I put my money up I want to eliminate that possibility.

Brian Gibson - 1/17/2011 1:42:21 PM

Hey Thomas,

I don't have a very fast internet out in the country. If you will hit play on the video, then hit pause, You will be able to watch the progress bar along the bottom of the video screen move forward. If you wait till it gets about half way across then hit play, you should be able to watch the clip straight through with no glitches. Hope this helps.

Thomas Lavezzo - 1/17/2011 1:11:08 PM

I only have a free membership.. When I watch your videos, they stop and go to much to really get anything out of.. I have high speed internet, so don't think it is a problem on my end.. ML

Kurt Marvin - 1/17/2011 10:53:48 AM

Speed, Can you tell me the purpose of using a tie down, I have been told it is for balance, but this doesn't make sense to me.

Speed Williams - 1/15/2011 6:54:26 AM

Jack I have man coming to my house this weekend to talk about bits Les Vogt a 15 world champion

Speed Williams - 1/15/2011 6:33:55 AM

Cristhiano thanks for the comments and good luck with your roping dont understand some of the questions but glad you like speedroping.com

Speed Williams - 1/15/2011 6:30:55 AM

Casey there are a lot questions there will try to answer some of those when I do my voice over of the USTRC roping in Waco

Janick Charron - 1/14/2011 4:42:27 PM

Hi Speed,
was just wonderin what kinda bits you use in your horses?
I have been having trouble trying to find the right bit for my 5 year old gelding. When he is pulling a steer he shakes his head quite a bit.
Thanks
Janick

Cristhiano Barros - 1/13/2011 2:07:44 AM

" Pelé king of Brazilian soccer, you and the king of the art of roping the head "
I'm your fan,
one day I want you to know
congratulations on your site

thanks for adding my knowledge

Cristhiano Barros - 1/13/2011 1:41:25 AM

Hello, I live in Brazil, has started lacing short time pe has 3 years, 6 months has head, good morning, I would like to know a little of its history, how it began, as it reached a level so great of your tie, why not Brazil also came to teach a course, not because it came back. his style, his teaching methods are impressive, I am more than 4 hours viewing and reviewing your videos, like some amazing heeller their horses, like to see some articles about the right time of shooting, or when not drop buoy, thank you

sorry for my english

noah abadie - 1/12/2011 9:28:35 PM

Hey Mr. Speed,
I saw someone comment about wearing your patches. I go to about 40 rodeos/ropings a year and would really like it if you sent me one or two to wear and tell people about your website.

Hello Mr. Williams. I just subscribed today and can't stop watching your videos! I'm a #6 header and my biggest struggle is waving it off smaller horns. I bounce around playing with different ropes from medium soft down to extra soft trying to figure out which locks on better for myself. I swing fast and keep lots of power on my rope throwing and i find a softer rope closes up on me when reaching or i dont get the action out of it that i do with a stiffer rope. Was curious what kinda lay you use? Or if your like me and it depends on horn size? I pretty much just use mach 3's cuz i like 3 strands for the bite in the saddle horn and they dont run on like a 4 strand will. Thanks for the videos to watch on this -34 day in northern Alberta!

Speed Williams - 1/12/2011 7:47:52 AM

Stinson he is 4 years old and I have been making him wait till I thought he was ridding good enough but it makes me very nervous watching him. The good thing Blackie has been through it all with Hali so I know he is good

Speed Williams - 1/12/2011 7:39:38 AM

Matt his phone number is 209 608 5704 Shane be sure and tell him the size I rope on my website

Speed Williams - 1/12/2011 7:30:10 AM

Justus Right now the horses for sale are the ones I film at my house

stinson ellis - 1/11/2011 9:04:55 PM

I am under my Husbands long in but he just showed me the video of your son roping and i have never seen anything so cute. I was really impressed and it made me look forward to seeing our son rope for the first time. I was just wondering how old he was he looks young but did so well. Tell him to keep up the hard work.

MATT OWENS - 1/11/2011 2:44:11 PM

Speedy, we have been trying to find a big horn dummy like you have. Its like nobody has them anymore. I tried to get a hold Monty but i havnt yet. email me if know of any. mdowens7609@yahoo.com

thanks Matt Owens

Justus Boley - 1/11/2011 12:14:13 AM

Ok lets try this again. I've noticed in the past where people have uploaded videos of there horses for sale. Is this for members only or for the people that just watch what is unlocked?

Gary Spalding - 1/10/2011 8:57:05 AM

Gabe is "The Man"

Ed zangerle - 1/10/2011 7:41:24 AM

Hello Speed,
Hope all is well. Speed we the people of Speed roping .com realized you have made a huge mistake letting Gabe edit his own run. So with that being said we have decided to release you of your editing responsibilities and let Gabe take over. Clearly he understands more about what's going on out there and knows how to break it down and makes it much more enjoyable to listen to. LOL. Thanx for sharing it with us. E.Z.

Speed Williams - 1/9/2011 8:15:06 PM

Free month winner is Edgar Hernandez
Half day at the house is Eldon Moore

Vincent Traynor - 1/9/2011 3:13:32 PM

Speed, I was wondering if you could do a video on your equipment? show us saddling your horse,show the pad you use and the saddle fit and the bits you use also the tie down and the length it should be, I was also wondering about your feeding program you have your horses on, on the road and at home when they arent doing as much. thanks.

chad evenson - 1/8/2011 10:53:42 PM

sorry i had to step out, it was on a sports channel up here in canada called TSN

Speed Williams - 1/8/2011 6:06:04 PM

What channel

chad evenson - 1/8/2011 5:41:28 PM

Hey speed i just seen an interveiw with Carey Price just thought i would let you know he was sportin your ball cap

juan crisostomo de leon - 1/8/2011 12:08:12 AM

disculpa que lo escriba en español pero soy mexicano
me gusto tu ultimo video son muy buenos tips pero seria mejor para los mexicanos que los dieras en español, solo los mas basicos

quisiera algun dia tener la oportunidad de visitarlo y practicar contigo

gracias

Speed Williams - 1/7/2011 9:05:51 PM

Kolton its me and thanks for the help

Speed Williams - 1/7/2011 9:04:38 PM

Brian will check monday on how many people filled out and do the drawing then good luck

Speed Williams - 1/7/2011 9:03:34 PM

Colt thanks

Brian Gibson - 1/7/2011 6:43:40 AM

Hey Speed,

Do you know who won your drawing for taking the survey? Have a great one. Going to be very cold here in Texas in a couple more days.

Thanks

Brian

colt papy - 1/6/2011 7:46:49 PM

this is a great wedsite, it is my favorite

Bill Greenhalgh - 1/6/2011 12:53:03 PM

Speed, I can't wait until the chat room opens. I can only speculate how Bob was & Two Moons is, but I have a six year old that I would love to have you ride! I think he'd blow your mind.... Buying a membership today, can't wait to watch your videos..

Speed Williams - 1/6/2011 9:17:17 AM

Roger yes two moons has all the tools the closest thing to Bob I have ever ridden

Speed Williams - 1/6/2011 9:16:21 AM

Larry glad to help and yes it does make a lot sense once you see the difference on how to rope the horns both ways.There is a reason why we rope both horns at the same time its just not the easiest way to do it sometimes

Speed Williams - 1/6/2011 9:12:57 AM

Kolton send me your address to speedroping@gmail.com and will send you some thanks for helping me promote the site

Speed Williams - 1/6/2011 9:11:04 AM

Bill this is an question for the chat room hope to have it up soon its a long answer

Speed Williams - 1/6/2011 9:08:12 AM

Gordon I told Marty I would rope at the same 4 rodeos that I went to last year with Kory Kountz.

Roger Rossow - 1/6/2011 8:54:29 AM

Great video on working with two moons, enjoyed watching you working with a horse with a big motor, very helpful, anxious to see his progress too..Great site!

Larry Solverson - 1/5/2011 11:28:22 PM

Larry Solverson - thanks for your video on right to left roping. I didn't start roping untill I was 50 years old ( now 60 ) and did not realize that I had been taught to rope both horns at once. Consequently as you say, on slow cattle and getting to close, I was always splitting horns.The general comment was I didn't follow through. After watching your video and practising on the dummy my percent of catchs have gone away up and things are going quite well. Thanks for your effort and comments.

kolton mcdonald - 1/5/2011 7:59:55 PM

Hey speed like u website and i would love to get some patches to promote your website at some of the us ropings that my family and i will go one of my two horses is at rick rosaschies at the time so i would love to get to wear the speedroping.com on the back of shirt at the ropings thank speed. From kolton mcdonald

Bill Greenhalgh - 1/5/2011 12:26:35 PM

Speed, Love your site. I have a question on bits, I have a five year old I'm just starting on cattle. He wants to get heavy in the mouth, I have tried many of my bits and found that a solid shank with a medium port is working well, but not well enough.
Whats your feelings on a chain bit? He's a great horse & fun to ride and is broke when he wants too be. I just got him from my cousin and I'm trying to fiqure him out. He's 16.3 and very fast, tallented, and cowy, he just gets heavy in the bit. I have worked him on one rein stops, side passes great, flexs, etc. Just a mouth problem. Sorry this is so long, I just wanted you to know whats been done with him, and what he'll do.
Thanks, Bill Greenhalgh

Gordon Hiebert - 1/5/2011 12:17:27 PM

Glad to hear your roping some with Marty Becker My son and I roped in the CCA with Marty and his Dad when we were all A lot younger Also thanks for the patches at the WSTR I roped afront leg in the short go so we're working on next year Your site is going to be abig help

Speed Williams - 1/5/2011 9:19:18 AM

Brad it depends on the horse but sometimes you can get to much slide and that will cost you some time on your run

Speed Williams - 1/5/2011 9:17:55 AM

I have never Heeled Chickens so I don't have an opinion on that one

Brad Bowie - 1/5/2011 8:52:53 AM

Hey Speed, great job on this website again.
A question for you, I have put sliding plates on my heel horse a couple of times for the Quarter Horse Congress and he stops and stays under himself much better. Would you suggest to leave them on for the whole Rodeo season?

John Wayne - 1/4/2011 3:36:23 PM

do u think ropin chickens is good for ur timin?

Speed Williams - 1/4/2011 7:42:14 AM

Max very happy to hear

Max Bighorse - 1/4/2011 12:03:56 AM

On this website, I learned alot in just 1 month about horses, horsemanship and rope handling. You have answered all my questions. Since there is snow on the ground for the next 2 months here in Window Rock, Arizona; I am going to practice roping the Dummy right to left horn. Thanks a Bunch Speed!!!!

Speed Williams - 1/3/2011 12:07:17 PM

I was waiting on answering these till I got my chat room up it but looks like it will be a little longer than expected. Thanks for all the comments it really does mean a lot when I am doing some of these videos early in the morning.

Speed Williams - 1/3/2011 12:02:25 PM

Caleb I was waiting on a certain person to come to my house to go over bits but he did not make here in Nov. Give me some time but will do one in the next couple weeks anyway.

Speed Williams - 1/3/2011 12:00:40 PM

Randy I do all kinds of stuff for people to be able to win but I do schools at my house for 250 for a half day but there can be 4 other people there at the same time. We rope then go in the house and watch it and go over whats happening in the run. Then I load the video to the website where only you can watch if you are a subscriber.

Speed Williams - 1/3/2011 11:56:47 AM

Paul thanks and yes there will be quite a few guys do something like mine and I wish them all the best. I really mean that to because it such a new way to learn how to practice to get better. If you don't practice right it very hard to get better

Speed Williams - 1/3/2011 11:53:16 AM

Matt thanks and you guys know how much work I put into it because you hear my voice a lot on these voiceovers

Speed Williams - 1/3/2011 11:51:47 AM

Daron glad the day to day has help with your horse

Speed Williams - 1/3/2011 11:51:10 AM

Matt thanks for the comments it means alot

Speed Williams - 1/3/2011 11:50:23 AM

Langdon the tire tube helps on the corner and the jerks. It changes up the corner and makes it a little harder

Speed Williams - 1/3/2011 11:48:25 AM

Owen are you asking what size of metal is used

Paul Park - 1/1/2011 11:08:33 AM

Thanks again for all the effort you put into this website. I am very impressed with the quality and quantity of information. I believe that you have set a new bar for anyone who has, or wants to to start, a website about team roping. Happy New Year to you, your family and all of your subscribers!

Matt Porter - 12/31/2010 12:52:07 PM

Speed I was hoping this site was still on the down low:)but I think that we are all going to have to rope a lot better now that it's blowing up....:) Hey I think your a Great teacher thanks for the cheap info really a fast time @ a us roping pretty much pays for the year love it

darron buena vista - 12/31/2010 10:13:02 AM

Speed,
really like the day to day video on dillinger has helped me alot on what to work on with my head horses

Speed Williams - 12/29/2010 9:15:50 PM

There have been a lot of questions on the comment page hope to have my chat room up soon for subscribers very soon. That will be a more question and answer place . Thanks a lot for the comments about the site.

Owen Nulliner - 12/29/2010 7:42:18 PM

we really enjoy your website. Would you mind telling us what material the back of your box is made out of?

MATT OWENS - 12/29/2010 7:05:20 PM

Speed I must say this is certainly an awesome site for anyone who wants to improve. I have just started watching the videos for the last month and anyone who doesnt subscribe to your site doesnt want to get better. I havnt roped much in ten years or so and watching this site makes me want to go again. You have put an arduous amount of time into making this site what it is. Im starting to study it everyday now. It lets people know their is alot more to roping than just swinging and throwing a rope.
Thanks alot for this site. I want to come by when i get a chance and am out that way.

Langdon Pleasant - 12/29/2010 6:41:20 PM

Do you think the hot heels pulls better from the main post rather than running the rope through the loop on the leg? Also is that a tire tube you put between the four wheeler and the machine? If so do you use it to keep your horses from getting bad jerks?

Speed Williams - 12/29/2010 6:21:02 PM

Daniel Reed

Dale Davis - 12/29/2010 10:12:47 AM

what are the dimensions on your arena and boxes. how far is it to the right/left fence?

Reed Rider - 12/28/2010 10:42:24 AM

I don't know who's heeling in the "Day 8 and 9" video on Dillinger, and I was wondering if you could inform us? He looks extemely talented.

Will Brown - 12/27/2010 6:59:41 PM

speed i have got a heel horse that some times in the box she dont want to back up how is there a way to fix that problem? your website is really great and i have learned alot of heelimg things from it...

Caleb Anderson - 12/24/2010 9:55:12 PM

Speed, what kind of bits do u use on stronger horses rather than ones that are lighter?

Randy Friesen - 12/23/2010 2:00:27 PM

Speed, do you have any plans for next year, for the members to have chance to win a day school with you, for answering questions that you put up?

BRETT MCKNIGHT - 12/22/2010 8:22:16 AM

hello to the familey . i am glad to see meha roping on the videos she looks really good and tell her i loved the sun set.

Autumn Sears - 12/21/2010 11:09:29 PM

It was great meeting You and Jennifer at the Finals. I been practicing or throwing at the sawhorse everyday, and I finally figured out how to get the bottom strand on the ground. I am so excited to start this New Year out and see what I can do, thanks for the calls and the videos, and the patches to advertise your website. It has helped us a bunch.

Todd Steele - 12/20/2010 11:50:25 PM

thanks for all of the videos. Im twelve and i have learned a whole lot from this website. thank you.

Todd Steele - 12/20/2010 11:50:22 PM

thanks for all of the videos. Im twelve and i have learned a whole lot from this website. thank you.

Rance Gantt - 12/18/2010 11:00:39 PM

Speed
Thanks for letting me stop by and rope yesterday. I appreciate the advice you gave me on my roping, as well. It was interesting to see the inside of the website and how it's put together.
To anyone who is considering going to Speed's for lessons, I highly recommend going. He truly has something for all levels of ropers. Also you will see how much work he puts into the website and why it sets itself apart from some of the other learning tools out there.
Thanks for the site.

Todd Asquith - 12/18/2010 12:42:06 AM

Speed, Have you or will you put up some videos about the types of bits that you use?

Speed Williams - 12/16/2010 5:27:40 PM

Yes Ed I will have it up before the end of the year

Ed zangerle - 12/16/2010 12:00:11 PM

Speed,
I have some friends wanting to know, will you be covering the proper ways to rope the saw horse from the ground for a beginner heeler?... Thanks. E.Z.

heath myers - 12/15/2010 10:37:46 PM

Speed,
I lost my good heading horse to colic right after winning the Reno Rodeo Invitational in 2008. I broke that horse as a 3 yr old and he was 17 when he died. Needless to say, we grew to fit each other. I know I wouldn't have won that roping on any other horse I have ever ridden. When I look back at the last steer on video, I realized that steer set into me a little bit about the time I delivered. My horse saw it and rated off (or melted like you put it). Consiquently I did not wave off that $100,000 steer. I have yet to ride a horse that compares to his honesty. I think you are right when you say they have to be born with that cow in them. I can't seem to instill that in any of my other horses, and it has cost me a lot of money since he died. Not only rate, but a lot of other little glitches.I can't say that horse ever cost me a roping. I know we don't all have a lot of money, and are tempted to sell sometimes, but you just can't put a price on the good ones that fit you. I had a few chances to sell that horse and I am so glad I never did. Team roping is a very enjoyable sport when you're horse fits you, and can be a very miserable sport when he doesn't. Just a reminder.
P.S. I see a lot of good things in the bald face sorrel you just purchased. I just think he is a hare to slow for you, but would fit me just fine at my level. I think you should consider selling him to me. LOL Heath Myers

shane carson - 12/14/2010 4:15:59 PM

Speed thanks for all the great Vegas coverage it was awesome. Happy Birthday too!

chris farrar - 12/13/2010 10:16:19 PM

hey speed if you will send one of your patches to vernon florida i would be honored to wear your patch and advertise for you.i am not famous but i know alot of ropers around here.maybe i could do you some good and it would be free advertisement.have a great and blessed day.

Speed Williams - 12/13/2010 12:48:43 PM

Almost home land in Texas at 230 ready to be home

Mike Fuller - 12/12/2010 10:42:03 AM

Speed, like always look forward to learning from your site. Looking for information on the winners from the World Series Finals...

Thanks

Ed zangerle - 12/8/2010 6:07:36 AM

Hello Speed and Jennifer,
Thanx for all the footage you are putting out there on the inside web page about the NFR. I like many others, cannot make it there this year, but being able to listen and watch your video clips about the NFR sure is nice.Keep up the "GREAT" work both of you. Will we get to watch the footage where you were the host again. It's great!!!!!!

Kacie Pope - 12/6/2010 2:24:41 PM

I was wondering how do you get your horse not to turn left before you want him to? I am new to roping and use my husbands old horse, who automatically turns left when you throw, I try everything I can to hold him up but he still continues to do this. Is there a way I can teach him to stop turning left before I am ready for him to?

g.a. swindle - 12/4/2010 12:45:23 PM

Just a line to let you know that having you give a break down of the runs has helped me understand what i need to look for in my own roping practice.
Getting to watch the likes of clay, and others come over and practice is great,can learn a lot form watching and listening to your break down.

glen webb - 12/4/2010 9:08:59 AM

I was wanting to know if you could do a video on getting your slack tight on the horns.Thanks

Speed Williams - 12/1/2010 9:57:56 PM

Ed zangerle - 11/30/2010 7:41:19 AM

Hello Speed,
Will you be showing the NFR runs on your site? Also would you be able to have your camera operator shoot some of your heeling runs so we can see how much your swing covers left to right before you deliver your rope. Just a thought.?
Thanx
E.Z.

david page - 11/29/2010 10:15:55 PM

Speed,all the proof is in the videos. Jen has improved alot since I first subscribed a few months back.She is starting to rope alot of her live cattle the same as the heeling machine.Its awesome to watch the improvement.

Brian Gibson - 11/28/2010 7:49:55 PM

Speed. I just watched your video on the NFR. Just wanted to say that I have always enjoyed watching you rope over the years at the NFR, but I now admire more the passion you can clearly hear in your voice about helping others through this website and trainings at your house. BUT MORE than any of that, I love hearing the passion you have toward having your family be a part of what you do. GREAT STUFF!!!

harry hermiston - 11/28/2010 5:40:08 PM

I notice that you dont seem to let steers out very far when you practice is there a reason for that my partners turn the steers half way or further down the arena because they score them out so far do you think one way is better than the other we are only going to the jackpots and are number 5 and 6 ropers. ( Great site we love it)

Ed Printy - 11/28/2010 4:39:56 PM

You mentioned that your new horse didn't run that hard - he'd never been made to run. I'll be interested to see your techniques in this area.

Rhonda Ellison - 11/28/2010 12:43:07 PM

I love Skyfire!!! Thankyou. Now I can get caught up on videos! Roping from right to left video: to clarify its the same loop but delivered in a slower fashion?

Paul Park - 11/28/2010 11:26:15 AM

Thanks for the video on choosing a horse. The timing is great for us. We just lost one of our horses and are shopping.

Speed Williams - 11/27/2010 1:03:55 PM

Yes it got put on hold to get the videos to play on the IPhone and Ipad now that we have that done it should be coming soon

shane carson - 11/27/2010 9:33:11 AM

First off, get well Jen. Speed awhile back you mentioned about setting up an area for posting questions and you would answer, any time line on that? Enjoy Vegas and Happy Holidays!

Heather Masters - 11/26/2010 4:23:38 PM

wow.... this is bebah on heardys name. wow jen..... that was something esle. we love u jen. hope u aint hurting tooo bad. CALL BEEBAH when u get a min girl.

Autumn Sears - 11/24/2010 11:27:21 AM

Hope your wife gets better soon! I gotta say I'm a little nervous now, but thats the chance you take like you said with animals and roping!

Paul Park - 11/23/2010 10:26:57 PM

I'm glad to hear Jennifer is going to be alright!

Lonnie Kimble - 11/23/2010 10:04:14 PM

Bad wreck hope for the best for everybody

Speed Williams - 11/23/2010 7:13:31 PM

The videos now play on Iphone and Ipad just have to download skyfire

nate mohar - 11/23/2010 5:15:51 PM

hope jennifer gets well soon

Reed Rider - 11/23/2010 11:59:15 AM

Its great to have you to learn from, but it's nice to see how others rope too. There's a lot to learn from the swings and handles of others.

Dale Davis - 11/19/2010 11:27:41 AM

Jade mows him down on the last run of the video though.

Dale Davis - 11/19/2010 11:20:29 AM

On Chad and Jade day 2, the red steer they ran at 7:48 and 11:23 on the video is a very tough steer to heel. Jade missed him both times. Why?

Randy Garey - 11/18/2010 9:42:16 PM

Speed I was taught to rope left to right then Bobby Harris got me roping both horn at once and my percentage went up like you say you can't be close and it will made me start roping quicker with by roping both horns at once

Chan Peters - 11/18/2010 10:01:35 AM

Hey Speed
Did Jade realize the black steers leg was like it was (kicking back) while it was happening?

Noel Gomez - 11/18/2010 8:34:33 AM

Hey Speed, we would like a short video on the type of equipment you recommend using on your horse. Also the fitting of a saddle for the roper as well as the horse, and how long your stirrups are suppose to be. I know its personal preference on all but would like to know what has worked best for you in your career. Thanks

milton aguilera - 11/16/2010 2:54:47 PM

Hey speed wene are you going to put the short go of tulye's truck ropeing in ada,OK that just passed 11/14

Speed Williams - 11/14/2010 8:47:07 AM

I am trying a lot of options but my videos are loaded in flash and apple does not support flash at this time. All I am going to say we are trying to get a solution for apple products soon. I thought apple would have fixed there problems because all the new phones coming out play flash videos like the droid from Verizon and few more.I don't feel like I can wait anymore we are working on a solution. I have an Iphone!!!.

Heather Masters - 11/13/2010 1:48:21 PM

Hello All-Bodies, I was checkin out some of your videos, did I over look the dummy ropin videos? Hope everyone is well, we sure miss all of you. Tell the kids hi from baby John

Bobby Mote - 11/13/2010 10:01:41 AM

Is there anyway that I can view the videos from an iPhone ? It says I need an Adobe flash player which Apple does not support. That's the only thing that could make the site better.

Randy Friesen - 11/12/2010 1:08:46 PM

Speed, on your homepage it says how many members there are. Is that the number of members and subscribers or members only? Just curious. Either way it's climing everyday. I know you work hard on this site and it shows. Keep up the good work.

Speed Williams - 11/10/2010 8:11:48 AM

Thanks and there is a lot more to come

Darrell Cripps - 11/10/2010 7:13:53 AM

Speed - this might be the best investment I've maid in my roping. To see you rope is great, but I really enjoy hearing what you are seeing and your mind set and thought process as you get set to compete and during a run. Great, Great tool!! I just siged up at the USTRC finals, but I am using things I'm learing every day. Thanks, Darrell Cripps

becky cannizzaro - 11/9/2010 9:47:24 PM

your video on rt to left and both horns at the same time made alot of sence to me. it makes me have a much better understanding about the differance. thanks sal

Brian Gibson - 11/9/2010 3:42:35 PM

sorry to say it speed but you missing that dally while you were heeling made me smile a little. It's kind of like watching a pro golfer shank one to the right, it just makes us all feel like yea, I know how you feel. Great video though on your heeling.

stuart mitchell - 11/6/2010 7:10:23 PM

purchased site in okc, us finals, already used it with my horse. the video, "speed working on hot heel horse", of jennifer's horse, is the same thing one of mine does. spent last three days doing the drills and working on left leg presasure and left reign. working better already. thanks, see youi in vegas. stuart

Reed Rider - 11/4/2010 3:06:24 PM

I'm wondering if we can get patches to wear at the World Series Finale? I didn't go to Oklahoma, but I'd wear one in Las Vegas if I could get one. You had a video up on how to get them, but I can't find it.

Jay Silman - 11/4/2010 2:14:37 PM

Yep I think you just posted your best video to date with you and Western Wishes...Finals videos are great too...learning a lot. Thanks.

Chad Hohenberger - 11/4/2010 12:42:37 PM

Agree with Chan about the Western Wishes that is cool. Enjoyed your heading breakdown a lot too, appreciate your openness. Great Job!!

Kyle Lane - 11/4/2010 8:47:41 AM

Hey Speed,
I injoyed meeting and talking with you at the US finals. I've always respected your roping and how well you take care of your horses, and after speaking with you I have even more respect for you. Look forward to coming down and roping with you.
THANKS!!!

Chan Peters - 11/3/2010 9:27:43 PM

Hey Speed,
The Western Wishes was GREAT!!! God is using you in a awesome way. This is a great thing thanks
for sharing.

Railyn Bowers - 11/3/2010 8:51:15 PM

hey do u have any videos of like ty alford, jacob locke,or any flordia boys

Charles Stephenson - 11/3/2010 10:16:20 AM

Speed would like to see comments on proper grip and swing as they relate to what area to focus on as you approach the steer. Thanks

Speed Williams - 11/2/2010 2:48:41 PM

Thanks for all the good comments on here it was not meant to be question and answer place. I am building a place on the inside for subscribers to ask question and hope to have it up next week.The U S Finals is over will be working on some new videos very soon.Thanks again for all the comments on here.

juan crisostomo de leon - 11/2/2010 12:08:46 PM

hi speed I'm from mexico coahuila, I have 15 years old and am beginning to practice roping the subject well but I think I want to give me some tips to improve, I think I need to close ties and stretch it properly to the bull. I expect an answer thanks speed

Rodrigo Paoliello - 11/1/2010 7:35:50 AM

Hello Speed what is the cost of a 3 days school with you?

tanks

TraviS TEEL - 10/30/2010 10:36:42 PM

Jen, great job in the #9 prelem tonight! That was a tough shot against the wall. I was amazed at the guys in the open at how well they could throw heel loops up against that wall. Your run was very similar to speeds run in the #15.

Victor Okada - 10/29/2010 1:26:32 AM

Speed, im from brazil and i realy want to learn rope. How you can teach me?
If i buy a subscription is possible that yours commnets come writen and spoken? If it possible i will buy, because its dificulty to me understand.
I alread heeling or try it.
Thanks.

Speed Williams - 10/28/2010 6:30:11 PM

Both are coming

Reed Rider - 10/28/2010 4:45:05 PM

Can we see Jen at the finals too on video? Maybe the kids to in the dummy roping if possible?

Casey Wilson - 10/26/2010 1:29:29 PM

Speedy, you talk about headers and going up the arena when they turn the steer. I know you have talked about it a little, but I see it happen a lot at the ropings and rodeos, I would like to see a video devoted to that subject. As a heeler that is a shot I really don't like to try to make. Also a video on slipping legs maybe, if you have some footage. Thanks

Brian Gibson - 10/26/2010 8:57:58 AM

Speed, Probably obvious question but just curious, why do some headers in the open have someone rattle the back gate for them. Is it just to get their horse looking inside and ready to fire? You just don't see it a lot so I was wondering why those few decide to do it. Thanks

shane carson - 10/25/2010 9:29:53 AM

hello Speed. Hope you are all enjoying Oklahoma. When you get back and have a minute maybe you can help with a problem I am having with my head horse. The horse had been off for a month with a abcess/hoof issue and I have been legging him back up now and he is back to being sound. The vet reccomends a joint supplement for him just for preventative maintenance and I was wondering if you have any personal preferances? Also I have been roping my Sparky lead steer and he is working well but yesterday took him to a buddies place to rope live steers and he is hanging up in the corner and not breaking when I let off then when he does break we are way late. Any tips for this? Thanks for the great website!

Randy Carter - 10/24/2010 7:56:35 PM

I like to watch Speed's left hand as much as I can. I am working on letting my horse run hard and not letting my left hand get sloppy and bumping him a little coming out.

joseph southern - 10/21/2010 4:52:37 PM

Speed, I have a head horse that will go and stay in the box fine, but as soon as I nod my head and the gates bang he looks to the left and most of the time it puts him in the right lead which makes him hard to rope off of and hard to handle cattle, any suggestions on what I should do? Thanks, By the way I think the web site is a great training tool.

Jennifer Williams - 10/21/2010 4:49:58 PM

Good luck to all my fellow subscribers this week at OKC, I hope we all have alot of success story's to post...

Speed Williams - 10/21/2010 12:43:41 PM

I am on the road to the USTRC finals don't know how good my Internet is going to be for the next few weeks.

Gary Spalding - 10/21/2010 8:30:39 AM

I really like how you show a run and then run it back in slow motion.

Dale Davis - 10/21/2010 12:05:43 AM

I notice that you dont rope a lot of longhorns. Mostly corrientes, but you also keep fresh steers in there all the time. I understand wanting fresher steers, so my question is, do the corrientes stay fresh longer for you? And does the arp effect the longivety of your cattle? BTW the last video before the US finals is one of the best ever.

Jay Silman - 10/20/2010 11:20:26 AM

I see your point on firing.

Jay Silman - 10/20/2010 11:15:19 AM

Im kinda in the middle on the scoring too. I like to walk out with steer especially on the head side more times than not because I feel like it helps my horse leave flat. I also like to hold him in from time to time for a release point and just to let him know we re not gonna leave every time and "you wait till I tell you" kinda thing. Heel side I most always stay in. Im interested to hear your thoughts on this too.

Speed Williams - 10/20/2010 11:12:36 AM

All depends on what you are trying to do young horses need to stay away from learning to run. If you are going to try to win on your horse he needs to fire so it really depends on your plan for your horse.

BRAD ONEAL - 10/20/2010 10:04:34 AM

HEY SPEED GOT A QUESTION I HOPE YOU HAVENT ALREADY ANSWERED. WHATS YOUR IDEAS ON SCORING. SOME GUYS HOLD THERE HORSE IN THE CORNER AND CALL FOR THE STEER, OTHERS START WALKING OUT THEN CALL FOR THE STEER. WHAT DO YOU DO. I SEE MERITS IN BOTH, CURIOUS AS TO YOUR TAKE. THANKS AGAIN, BRAD

Autumn Sears - 10/19/2010 11:14:45 PM

I honestly think I'm still the only one in Idaho subscribed but I love watching you and Clay rope your my idols. Thanks for the phone call a while back even though I never got a few turned I am trying to decide what I want to do in life and a video you did awhile back was like you were talking directly to me about the practcing and not making progress. Thanks for all the advice great website.

Mike Grant - 10/19/2010 12:13:45 PM

Thanks so much for doing this. Each day after watching your video clips, it inspires me to go practice and get better. It is so much more productive to go to the practice pen with a purpose. I have really enjoyed the horsemanship part of your routine. Of course the roping instruction is awsome too. I used to practice once a week, then go to a jackpot. Now I'm practicing everyday, either live steers or the sled. After roping for 20+ years it is making sense, more repititions and muscle memory has helped me rope more consistant. I used to rely on drawing good and LUCK to win at local jackpots. This is the best money I have ever spent towards improving my roping. What type of saddle pads do you reccomend?
Thanks
Mike Grant #5 Header

Jack Thomas - 10/18/2010 3:17:17 PM

Hello, hey this place is a gold mine of information, best money i've spent ever! Funny thing, I went over to welch today to buy some wider horns at Larry Fonseca's place and he said he had built some dummy head's for Speed! lol Man, that right to left thing has me throwing the best loops I've ever thrown, great curl, no legs, few wave off's, few split horns! Anyway, Speed I've found some videos on the dally and have picked up some things from them but was wondering if you have time sometime if you could make one a little more detailed as far as what not to do. It seems to me there are a lot of people that don't really know the correct way to dally and the do's and dont's. What exactly is happening when these top guys loose their thumbs? I'm teaching my twelve year old son and I want to teach him right and keep him safe! Thanks a bunch!

Brian Gibson - 10/18/2010 8:52:06 AM

Great to meet you and the family this weekend in Decatur. I have spoke to you on the phone a couple of times and now in person and you always treat everyone like a good friend. Thanks for being there so I can watch my choke shot in the #8 Short Round over and over. I was roping right to left to just go catch but I got to atleast get the rope to touch the horns to have a chance. Have a Great One.

Wescoat Free - 10/18/2010 8:23:32 AM

Wish I had seen the saving on the membership for joining Teamroper.com before... o well..... love the website.

Matt Funk - 10/15/2010 11:23:58 PM

Great videos I would also like to hear about your bits and tie downs and how you use them from horse to horse (young or rodeo or jackpot or head and heel horses) I would also proudly wear more stickers if you would send them. really enjoy watching and learning Thanks

Speed Williams - 10/14/2010 11:09:33 AM

I just have not done one I liked yet you would be amazed at how many times it takes me to get it right.

Ed zangerle - 10/14/2010 9:00:42 AM

Hello Speed,
When will you be talking about bits and bitting , what to use and when to use? Also the different types of nose bands that you my use on different horses and why. Thanx.

Speed Williams - 10/13/2010 1:56:49 PM

Thanks guys

Jack Thomas - 10/13/2010 12:42:35 PM

On the video about roping both horns at the same time. Loved it, been curious about this for a long time. I've been able to catch horns from a coil or two back for some time, but up close has driven me nuts! This helps a lot, good stuff! Thanks

sam taylor - 10/12/2010 7:18:01 AM

I went to Speeds house with some guys to rope and spent an afternoon. Speed was really on us headers about watching the steer he hangs a tarp in front of the steers as I am sure alot of you have noticed.I did the same thing yesterday practing.It is the best thing for scoring practice I have seen so far.I just got to ride 1 horse my ohter has an absess, but she quite flinching when the gate banged and also left flatter and more relaxed.My steers werent used to it so it took some of them a really long time to break but thats what helped my horse so much.Thanks Speed for the help last Tuesday

Travis Veldhuis - 10/9/2010 1:12:47 AM

I notice when Jen is roping that her hand is out in front of her face during her swing, yet your's is back by your head more. Just curious if there's a video coming about your swing and how you place your rope in detail. I know for me if my hand gets to far forward I have issues placing my loop. Looking forward to your views and tips. Thanks

mike crouch - 10/8/2010 12:47:39 PM

I just saw that you gave that good horse to your daughter to ride. I just did the same thing with my daughter who is 6. She is now riding a horse that i have riden in the reining and the cow horse and the roping. He is only 5 and is still a little dangerous. I think he is going to make a great calf horse. I have been working him hard since he was 2 and I think it is time to take a little heat off of him. She gets along good and can lope around and stop with us. When she is 13 or 14 I will make her ride some horses that will make her work. but I think it is important to ride a good one first.

Mike McCormack - 10/7/2010 4:01:24 PM

Ask and you will receive.Thanks Speed for the video on tying-on. I really appreciate you having the video so soon. Look forward to the next video. Mike

Speed Williams - 10/7/2010 2:04:11 PM

That is because there is a heeling barrier at the U S Finals and that horse will go left very good. He does not go to the right as good as he should so trying to work on his weakness.

mike crouch - 10/7/2010 1:28:23 PM

In the video of you and Clay getting ready for the US Finals why are you breaking to the pin and almost getting your horse behind the steer?

Glenn Bailey - 10/7/2010 10:50:01 AM

Bill and I spent the day yesterday doing the golfing equivalent of playing a round of golf with Phil Mickelson, Tiger Woods and Michael Jordan. We roped with Speed, Clay O and Tuff all in one day! Thanks for the help Speed, my horse felt better than ever before.

Brian Gibson - 10/7/2010 10:34:14 AM

Wish I had a horse trainer like you got Speed. Hali can ride a couple of my horses after she gets done putting the finihing touches on Grinder.

aaron Jensen - 10/7/2010 2:38:33 AM

I just wanted to thank you guys. I'm an 8 heeler in US and I really am getting a lot out of this site. I am very glad I paid for a membership, it is so worth it, just in two days, I feel like I have learned so much, now I just need to apply it..... thanks again

Chris Smith - 10/7/2010 2:33:05 AM

Speed,
I notice that when you rope your bottom strand really comes back to you a lot. When I rope my bottom strand only comes back to me maybe a third sometimes half way as far back as yours. Also, when I rope the dummy, my bottom strand usually comes back to me and my loop looks good, but there is always dirt kicked out just in front and to the right of the back legs where my rope is hitting on initial delivery. How do I change these two things?

Speed Williams - 10/7/2010 12:16:30 AM

Let me see

aaron Jensen - 10/6/2010 11:53:17 PM

is there any way that you guys could make it possible for members to put certain videos into "my favorites" so that I can easily reaccess the videos that I'm interested in?

shawn hughes - 10/6/2010 8:33:40 AM

i just won 3rd at a roping that had 1180 teams, i believe your website helped. thanks shawn hughes

Clayton Winslow - 10/6/2010 5:41:03 AM

Speed,
I was wondering if you could show how big or small to make your coils, and how much rope you should have between your hands when you're heading.
Thanks

michael clemmer - 10/4/2010 1:06:23 PM

Hey Speed, I was going to ask if you could post a video on how you deliver your rope when reaching ive been doing your drills and im getting to much rotation on my rope i think im doing a little of both right to left and both horns at the same time but im not for sure hopefully you can help me out. Thanks

Sheria L. O'Neal - 10/1/2010 10:03:11 AM

Speed, I am WOW'd everytime I get on your site. It is so nice to be able to go back and review the areas I really need to work on. Often, I will miss something the first time watching the video and to be able to go back and watch them over, and over, and over and then apply it....it is awesome. Re-watched "Working A Heel Horse" 4/14/2010 AND "Speed Heeling" 4/29/2010 really answered many questions, especially regarding the tie-down, makes BIG results! Thanks bunches!

Sheria L. O'Neal - 9/30/2010 6:13:27 PM

Chan, I am with you! I thought the EXACT same thing when I watched this video. It's like Speed was reading my mind (he probably saw me rope..haha). Great videos, great website!

Chan Peters - 9/30/2010 2:54:30 PM

Just watched the "How to get you heel Horse to stop" video. This may be the most helpful video yet.
Great information, if i didn't know any better i would think you were putting this up just fort me and my horse.
Thanks again for all the GREAT videos

Lee knoxville - 9/30/2010 1:02:13 PM

When you pay 65.00 is that for 30 days of access.

Sheria L. O'Neal - 9/29/2010 11:09:09 PM

"How to Get Your Heel Horse to Stop"...great video! Is this drill to be accomplished on live cattle only to get results or can the same drill be done on a Hot Heels. Will there be a difference in results?

Derek Syverson - 9/29/2010 11:24:49 AM

Hi. Totally love the website & get lots out of it. As an idea, I am always looking for info on bits and what bit to use with a head horse and heel horse. Any input from you and some of your preferences would be awesome. Also maybe what you look for when looking for in a head horse such as size etc.
Thanks,
Derek

mary barone - 9/26/2010 7:16:53 PM

Love speedroping.com! Would like to see a video on reading steers. I Like the video from 3/30 "riding across the line." I would love to hear your thoughts on how a beginner header can learn to better read steers out of the chute. I have a great horse who runs hard and rates nicely, but as I attempt to really ride aggressive across the line I'm starting to crowd my steers. Could you tell me where you look at on the steer when you are ready to drop your hand. I would appreciate hearing your advice on reading cattle.

daniel briand - 9/26/2010 6:24:58 PM

about roping both horn or right to left you could not have put it more clearly ,it really explisive thanks

Jace Booth - 9/25/2010 7:07:43 PM

Speed, i absolutey love your website! I live all the way up in South Dakota and it is very tough to get to roping schools and this is a great way to learn the little things that can improve my roping for a price of a mere 65 dollars rather than the 400 dollars you would have to spend to go to a top level heading school. I have been getting ready for the Wrangler Team Roping Championship finals and this has been so much help.
Thanks,
Jace Booth

Destry Suthers - 9/24/2010 5:24:29 PM

Speed, Liked the video today...its always good to see your family and kids growing up and enjoying themselves roping. We at Micro Rain are proud to be a part of your arena maintenance program and making your practice pen the best it can be. Thank you again for all you do for us and for helping everyone better themselves at the sport of team roping! Destry - Micro Rain Arena Watering Systems

Mike McCormack - 9/24/2010 3:46:05 PM

Speed. I just bought a subsription today. I am almost sixty years old now and can tie-on. Just got back to roping after a twenty year lay off. Was wondering if you would do a video about tying on. Such as rope length,pulling your slack and such. Thanks, Mike

david page - 9/24/2010 2:06:03 PM

speed. this website is worth every penny.To be able to play the videos over & over and then go out & put it together in the practice pen is the next best thing next to practicing in the same arena with a bunch of pros. I really like watching you & some of the other pros rope.Im not much into the short rounds of the lower number ropings but i know some people really enjoy them. I really think you are doing an execlent job & reaching ropers of all levels. I would also like to have one of your stick on or sew on patches to help get the word out.
May God continue to bless you &
your family.
thanks,david

BRAD ONEAL - 9/24/2010 10:59:13 AM

SPEED, WHERE CAN A GUY GET A CHUTE LIKE THE ONE YOU WERE USING TO ROPE GOATS. LOOKS LIKE A BLAST. BRAD

Ross Hall - 9/24/2010 9:46:57 AM

Speed I am greatful you have found a way to reach the teamroping world and simply make us all better from your success and mistakes. My question is when I pick him up he leaves the ground how do you keep a horse low and use his back end

Bobby Mote - 9/23/2010 11:38:52 PM

I really like the last two videos. Great job of explaining the two types of practice.

Reed Rider - 9/22/2010 11:44:46 AM

Speed and Clay O' at practice, do you even need to to a voice over to learn from that? Thanks for the video.

darron buena vista - 9/22/2010 12:04:23 AM

speed I JUST BOUGHT A NEW HEAD HORSE WE ARE NOT GETTING ALONG IN THE BOX AT ALL JUST WONDERING IF YOU HAVE ANY VIDEOS THAT MIGHT HELP

Speed Williams - 9/22/2010 12:01:22 AM

I have some good videos of Clay Cooper and I practicing today will try and get them loaded soon. Some really good runs and it was a lot of fun. Plus even had Clay in the goat pen and he was just as impressive there too.

STEVEN HARDCASTLE - 9/21/2010 4:43:33 PM

hey speed this is steven hardcastle owner of swerve ropes. was just wondering if you had heard about us. not trying to take you away from fastback just wanted to know if someone had let you swing one and if you did what do you think of them. any feed back would be aswome. thank you

Jim Zacharias - 9/21/2010 12:23:13 PM

Speed as you know I am a new member. You asked that I comment on anything that you think would help. I studied you heeling video where you were working on Jennifer's horse. It's obvious to me that you use your legs a lot and have great balance. That's where my problem comes in. I'm 71 years old and just do not have the leg strength or balance to do what you do. With the popularity of the 40+ ropings that Lloyd South is doing I think it's obvious that some of us old guys like to rope and be competitive as much as the younger crowd. I would really like you to think about doing something that will help ropers like me to oversome some of our physical limitations to be able to ride our horses better. We may not be able to gain the same results that you do but hopefully could find some ways to improve. If you wanted some volunteers to come down and shoot some video I'm sure you could find plenty. Might even consider a one day clinic for some old guys and video that.

RJ Humphries - 9/20/2010 3:21:18 PM

All informantion on roping right to left and both horns same time makes good sense to me. You have been alot of help to me and my horses. Thank you. RJ Humphries

Chan Peters - 9/19/2010 7:27:56 PM

Speed,
Thanks for the Video of you Heeling on 9-18 it really explains some of the areas that i need to work on my horse. When he is better i will be better.
Thanks

Lance Haggard - 9/19/2010 8:53:40 AM

Speed,
Would you be able to share the dimesnions of your boxes (Height, width, etc. that you have at your place. I am putting together a new pen and would like to build mine like yours.

Lance

Sheria L. O'Neal - 9/19/2010 8:51:57 AM

Thanks for your latest heeling video (9/18/2010). Answered all my questions regarding a horse I have that "is strong". Most times I take it for granted that if something is going wrong, it is me and not the horse. I give my horses more credit than I give myself so now I feel like this will help fix some of the holes in my roping. Thanks again Speed. Everytime I watch your videos or read your site comments, I ALWAYS learn new and beneficial information. Great website!

Chad Atchley - 9/18/2010 5:08:45 AM

At first everybody needs to rope from a distance they are comfortable with which is usually pretty close in the beginning. This as you pointed out in the video is the prime place for the "right to left" throw. As you get better and get more range you will find that the only way to have a high catch percentage at long range is to do as Speed says and rope both horns at the same time. I have noticed a lot of ropers drop their elbow when they try to throw long and use the right to left loop and I've never seen them win much. I agree that you need to be able to use both loops to be successful. I get some really funny looks when I'm out here practicing in Afghanistan roping a bucket!

Randy Carter - 9/17/2010 12:05:42 PM

Will you explain what you do after you pull slack and there is still slack left and how you control the horse and steer to keep from jerking the steer too hard? Do you pick your horse up to tighten the rope before you move left?

Also, I have trouble with steer getting too far behind me and can't see the heeler's dally.

Randy Carter - 9/17/2010 11:59:28 AM

Roping right to left is what I do and the video makes sense because most of the jackpots are in the money if you catch 4 in a row.

Paul Park - 9/17/2010 9:50:50 AM

I'm trying to help my 13 year old daughter to get more consistent. The right to left versus both horns video will help. After watching, I think the first thing she needs to do is to ride consistently into the right position, then work on swinging right over the horns and coming across. Right now, she uses a pretty big loop and does not feed. I'm going to get her to do the drill you show where she ropes big horns with a very small loop. I'll let you know how it goes. THANKS!

Randy Friesen - 9/16/2010 11:48:23 PM

Speed, roping right to left makes sense to me: #1 you show us how to do it. #2 you explain it and break it down. Roping both horns at the same time makes sense also. It's just harder for me, but I will get there. They both accomplish the objective of getting the cow caught, but depends on which one are you going to use to get the job done. I have learned so much from your instruction that everytime I rope there is some type of improvement. Thanks for sharing your wealth of knowledge with us.

Speed Williams - 9/16/2010 11:29:42 PM

Thanks for all the comments going to post some of these at the U S Finals so it will really help when people read these comments THANKS.

Bobbi williams - 9/16/2010 10:46:27 PM

Very nice and was awesome will waiting for the other videos Love watching you and Hali roping and Jennifer and Gabe riding that was very sweet look on his face and his eyes were so cute. What a good job Love to the whole family will be waiting for the next one

Clayton Winslow - 9/16/2010 10:21:14 PM

Just watched the video about the commercial, it's outstanding. Can't wait for the next video.

Joseph Aiello - 9/16/2010 7:35:21 PM

Speed,
The right to left formula is outstanding. The first piece of business for me is to ride to position. At the hip it has been difficult for me to rope both horns at once; however, now that I intentionally deliver with my hand from just right of my swing(in this area your slow motion video has been worth the price of admission) with my thumb up, I seem to catch everything. My biggest drawback is that my horse is fast but does not rate well. So I am looking for a horse with more rate.
I have always envied golfers because they have so many training tools. Your videos have taken trainig within team roping to an entirely different level. Between the hot heels and "SPEEDROPING" a roper has just about all he needs. The site is progressively getting better too.

Congratulations, you have created an innovative and highly professional training tool. ps-I plan to come down from Michigan with one friend and spend two or three days with you for a private lesson within the next year if the timing is right. Thanks Joe

Reed Rider - 9/16/2010 5:35:00 PM

I think you've got it right on. The only other thing you could say is to rope a large set of horns as close as you can, and even closer until your forced to rope right to left, without letting go of the rope, but you've mentioned that in your beginner drills. When to change from right to left will depend on comfort, steer, and other variables that will work out with practice. I really liked the video and think its easy to understand.

Speed Williams - 9/16/2010 5:19:41 PM

Take your time it takes a little while and film yourself then watch it

Jay Silman - 9/16/2010 5:03:30 PM

Ok been working on right to left this afternoon but when I'm doing it do I feel like I'm messin up my normal swing and more specific my delivery?????

Dale Davis - 9/16/2010 2:36:30 PM

I got it. Working on building a bigger horned dummy.

Glenn Bailey - 9/16/2010 11:31:46 AM

I started roping about 30 years ago and was thought to rope both horns at once. The problems I have is pulling it off the left horn on small horn cattle and missing the left horn on larger horns (I most of the time catch anyway due to fishing). By roping right to left it seems to have fixed the problem although I am still working on it. thanks for the latest video, it helps to explain. I also notice that your palm stays open (faces the horses neck) more when roping right to left and faces down when roping both horns at once.

Jay Silman - 9/16/2010 11:02:58 AM

I rope about 95% of my steers both horns at the same time because I rope going to the steer and if I throw a right to left loop a lot of the time it will never make it to the left horn unless I really wait on it to roll over. The only time I really use it is if I draw a really big horned steer in a low numbered jackpot. Watching you rope those big horns with that little loop though is pretty interesting and is definitely something Ill be tryin and working on when I get home.

Speed Williams - 9/16/2010 10:46:02 AM

Thanks for the comments glad the videos are working for you guys it just take time

Gary Johnson - 9/16/2010 9:54:26 AM

I have just started back to heading, from heeling for about 20 years. I used to always rope front to back and believed that was the only way to go for me. After watching your videos over and over again, I started to work on left to right when roping up close. You are right, it was very difficult for me to make that change and get it right with my swing and delivery after roping so many years front to back in all situations. I am getting better every day now. Without your instructions, I would never have got it, and probably would have given up on the changes needed. Thanks Speed,
Gary Johnson

Rance Gantt - 9/15/2010 11:08:04 PM

Speed:
Just got through watching the videos on right to left or both horns same time. I could not agree with you more on your comments. I learned to rope right to left and it has given me a foundation to go to at anytime. It is the easiest way to learn and easy to go back to if we get in a slump.

I don't get to practice as much as I used to, so when I go to a roping that I need to just go and catch at, I will use the right to left approach. I also believe we all rope both horns same time if we are reaching.

Ropers in my area have asked advise on roping in the past and when I tell them to use the right to left delivery for a much higher percentage catch rate, most of the time I get the- Thats the old way to do it. I thought your example of swinging your rope many different ways was a great example of how easy it is to catch with the right to left delivery. I see people all the time that have a terrible swing, but they catch most all of their steers. Then there's the person with a good swing, that ropes both horns same time, they don't catch half of their steers. The delivery is the biggest reason for one catching and the other struggling.

As a side note, I've learned so much from the videos. Watching how you work your horses on the hot heels has been the biggest thing to me. Seeing the progression that they've made has been interesting to watch.

Thanks for the website and all the hours you saved me from doing some of this on my own.

Rance Gantt

Clayton Winslow - 9/15/2010 11:05:07 PM

Speed,
I really appreciate your break down of right to left vs. both horns same time. As someone that started out as a heeler, and become a little bit of a header. I've found this all very useful the drills you're teaching make a lot of sense to me and are very helpful. I always thought I needed to rope both horns same time whether I was close or back, I've found the practice pen to be much more successful for myself being able to run close and rope a little more right to left than I did before. Thanks

Rocky Louthan - 9/15/2010 10:51:00 PM

Speed,
Excellent job on right to left, reaching and roping mulleys. In the practice pen I was having a really tough time roping both horns same time at short range on top of steer, when I used to never miss. If I am understanding I should rope right to left when I am on top of the steer and just need a catch and rope both horns same time when my horse is rating properly and we are backed off of the steer. I have started practing chuncking some line and have got as far as 1 coil left with consistency. The mulleys project is going to take some time, I have to rope deeper meaning on the dummy I have to aim for a center point between the shoulders otherwise the loop passes just across where the horns should be. When roping horns I look at the horns, when a mulley I aim at the center of the shoulder blades. What are your thoughts?

rex foster - 9/15/2010 10:37:46 PM

comment on the horn roping videos today : As a heeler I see a lot of times we get to the short round and the header wants to take that really sure shot and rides up close, and wacks him. This video should help a header realize they need to practice on the horn to horn and both horn stradegies. The cattle we rope in the lower number ropings arround here are slow to medium usually a short score, so a roper could utilize this info. I'm alaways looking for things my headers can benefit from so I can get a chance to throw my rope more often.

daniel briand - 9/15/2010 8:27:57 PM

so far i m really impressed with all the topics i have been watching ,you don tcut the corners and really put effort into it .promo code from last conf call was the best deal of all summer thanks .

Speed Williams - 9/15/2010 1:29:56 PM

Thanks Craig,Mike, and Blake for your comments

Blake Hawkins - 9/14/2010 8:45:01 PM

Speed - your site is the absolute best 'value for money' we have spent trying to improve our roping. We have attended several well conducted, informative and very helpful weekend clinics with various top ropers in the past (and will continue to do so in the future as the opportunities arise). However, having your 'video library' available to review as needed just takes the cake!
Blake's other (better?) half, Jeanne
ps.... loads of appreciation to the 'videographers', too!

Mike Wedemeyer - 9/13/2010 11:49:15 PM

Speed,
I really enjoyed the clinic last week and would like to say thanks for having us and thanks for the patience. For anyone reading this wondering if the website is worth the $$$, it is. Just be sure to watch the tutorial after you join so you can get the full benefit. I learned the hardway. The school is definitely worth the money as well. Awesome hospitality, fun and lots of roping!!! When you leave you will definitely have a new friend, which means alot to me. Thanks again!

Craig Johnston - 9/13/2010 7:00:33 PM

Thanks Speed
I am really enjoying your site. It is pretty cool to be able to access all this information at my own convenience. Keep growing, the site is awesome.
Craig Johnston

Speed Williams - 9/13/2010 2:04:44 PM

I am going to add a discussion board to the website where just subscribers can ask there questions. Craig and Scott we will get a place where we can chat on different subjects working on some real cool stuff

Craig Johnston - 9/12/2010 8:13:18 PM

Speed
I have a problem with hickeying my loop on the right horn. Any thoughts on a solution.
Craig Johnston

scott bickford - 9/12/2010 9:26:01 AM

Speed,

I have been waving off alot of loops lately. This is a problem that I have not had before. I am riding the same two horses as always. I know it is tough answering this question without watching me rope, but do you have any suggestions?
Thanks,
Scott Bickford

Speed Williams - 9/11/2010 4:15:32 PM

I am back roping so will have some videos up soon getting some fresh steers to start practicing for the U S finals. Will start doing some on preparing for the Finals next week.

Speed Williams - 9/11/2010 4:13:06 PM

Sorry guys but this is not a question and answer place if I started doing that I would never get any videos done. If you have subscribe to the website I try to reply to you but if you just watch all the free videos I suggest you get on the conference call coming up next week and asked your question then. It is free and I can answer you question but my typing is really bad and it takes me to long to answer questions on here. I try to build videos based on the questions asked on here and thanks to all of you who have posted comments about the website. THANKS SPEED

rex foster - 9/11/2010 10:04:46 AM

Wow I didnt proof read my comment. MY grammer' spelling and puncuation are the same as my roping skils. but hey there is plenty of room for improvement BYE !

rex foster - 9/11/2010 9:41:55 AM

hey speed , this is rex the heeler of the rex mike &rex show ha ha first i want to thank you for you , your family , and helpers for puting up with us . We had a great time , speaking for myself felt as I drove home that I can start to work on my correction process to success.
I know that there is a lot of ropers out there like me , they'er just afraid to exspose their roping skills like I did on video , but I hope ropers watch it and say hey I have that problem and wont feel bad about going to SPEEDROPING.COM for help. With the christmas season getting close my business will slow down my roping a lot but I am fortunate to have a hot heels , and I plan on torturing it as much as possible, not just wacking its legs and ribs but actually roping it by to feet ha ha I told you where I wanted to be in my roping skills and I plan on getting to that level with your help . I want to come back to house and vedio that someday. thanks again rex oh yeah please someday show the 2 time I did catch the hot heels so people can see you can help an old hard head like me

chris farrar - 9/11/2010 9:01:01 AM

That was a awesome video of everyday people working to get better.I would like to get out and see you one day.Also could you answer my question i sent you on 9/9/10 about the coils.thanks and have a great and blessed day.

Speed Williams - 9/10/2010 10:15:25 PM

She is making some progress but still working on doing it consistently. Her horses are doing real good for her

joanie ivy - 9/9/2010 11:20:42 PM

So proud of Jen!!! She is roping her little butt off!

marka stone - 9/9/2010 10:15:05 PM

Thanks so much Speed!!!!!:):):)

sandra aguilera - 9/9/2010 10:07:26 AM

Hi Speed, I am Lightning Aguilera's mom Sandra and I wanted to tell you how great the videos you posted on Tuley's roping in San Antonio are. Also that I wanted to buy Lightning's runs in the top 25 and also where Tuley announced that he won the truck? It was a great video!!! Thanks my email is seaaguilera74@yahoo.com

chris farrar - 9/9/2010 8:41:34 AM

SPEED WHEN YOU ARE ON THE HEAD SIDE WHAT IS THE PROPER AMOUNT OF COILS YOU SHOULD HAVE IN YOUR HAND AND WHAT SIZE SHOULD THEY BE SOME PEOPLE WOULD SAY ABOUT THE SIZE OF A MEDIUM PIZZA.I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO COME TO YOUR PLACE FOR A TRAINING SESSION I AM ABOUT 4 HRS CLOSER THAN YOUR MOM,ALSO HOW MUCH DO YOU CHARGE AND HOW LONG DOES THE TRAINING LAST AS FAR AS DAYS COMPARED TO WHAT YOU CHARGE.HOPE YOU HAVE A GREAT AND BLESSED DAY.

Rocky Louthan - 9/8/2010 9:18:26 PM

Speedy, thanks for the video on roping mulies, I have been watching it and working on my ground work. Looking forward to getting in the arena once it dries up to give it a go. Thank you.

Joseph (Shane) Goforth - 9/8/2010 12:58:46 PM

Speed, I know you are busy and no hurry on this. I just dont want you to forget me. I would like you to email or call me when you get time to give me some details on getting down to your place for a training session. I am about 11 hours away from you so I need to plan ahead some. Thanks

Larry Mahan - 9/8/2010 10:16:07 AM

Hi to Speed & family.
Larry & I have been goin' 9-0, as usual! Hope to visit with you in the near future. Please contact me as to how I can join - buy a subscription-
so Larry (and me, too) can access this great learning tool. I may be a cutter, but I want to learn as much as possible so I can enjoy this sport my husband loves so much. Fond regards,
Julanne Mahan

KELLY TULEY - 9/7/2010 9:11:32 PM

all u guys that came to san antonio. Thank you for your business!!!!! I know Speedy appreciates all the site viewers that came by to talk and view all what he had.. God Bless and we will see u at the next one!!!!!

Speed Williams - 9/7/2010 8:30:19 PM

i would like to see a videos on a for stand ropers

Cortney Beck - 9/6/2010 9:10:47 AM

I have watched your videos of working on a horse in the box, but i would really like to see one about working on a HOT horse in the box...drills to do, scoring a horse like that to work them through it. Cortney Beck

keeper parker - 9/5/2010 10:13:11 PM

speed what is your for stand

Randy Friesen - 9/5/2010 1:06:27 AM

Speeds runs with music, the Houdinie trick was something else! Speed, how did you get your horses ready for the NFR? I understand that preparation starts in the practice pen, but how do you replicate the Thomas&Mack, 17,000 rodeo fans, and loud music and announcers while you are trying to rope? May healing come your way and you are able to be back at 110%. Thankyou be blessed.

Matt Clark - 9/4/2010 10:15:36 PM

makes sense i appreciate it

Speed Williams - 9/4/2010 9:16:19 AM

Wanted them looking to turn in instead letting them run

Matt Clark - 9/3/2010 9:29:15 PM

In one of your videos you mentioned that when your dad was training heel horses he liked steers turned in the first 40 or 50 feet of the arena. I was just curious as to why.

keeper parker - 9/3/2010 1:48:38 PM

speed how do you practic for a lower number roping

Speed Williams - 9/2/2010 5:47:39 PM

Glad to help

Glenn Bailey - 9/2/2010 4:41:37 PM

Speed,
thanks for your suggestion on getting my horse checked. Turns out he needed an injection. The vet even told me what the horse was doing without any information from me.

Joseph (Shane) Goforth - 9/2/2010 3:33:33 PM

Loved the latest two vids, answered two of my biggest questions. One last question and this may not be the right place to discuss so if not just let me know and I will contact you however you would like or feel free to contact me however you prefer. I know you have mentioned that you do schools at your house and I have read great reviews from some of your students. I would like to get some details from you about that and see what is involved to get down there and have you help me out a little. Have been roping a long time but really want to get up to the next level and beyond. Thanks again

keeper parker - 9/2/2010 10:13:42 AM

i love speed roping thanks mr ken

Bobbi williams - 9/2/2010 6:07:09 AM

Wow wow awesome thanks for the video of Gabe and the girls and glad to know he is back roping i will have to really start practicing more to stay in with your group mee-aah is very happy very happy love to all see u all soon

Joseph (Shane) Goforth - 9/1/2010 12:35:31 PM

THANKS Speed, I look forward to it

Speed Williams - 8/31/2010 6:58:03 PM

I will put a video up in the next couple days on that one joseph

Joseph (Shane) Goforth - 8/31/2010 3:41:23 PM

Quick question, what is your rule of thumb on when to hold on to the saddle horn coming out of the box and when not too. I assume it is all about how flat your horse is leaving the box and how long the score is as well as how fast you need to be. But want to know for sure what you think. thanks

Steve Phillips - 8/31/2010 1:24:10 PM

Just wanted to say thanks for posting all the short rounds for Kirby's roping, Circle T, and all the others. I'm in North Dakota working, for what will be a year next week, and it sure helps to be able to watch what's going on back home !! I try to fly home (Barry, Tx)around the big ropings but sometime just can't get away. I came in for the Waco reginals but had to draw out because of back trouble. Anyway, thanks for helping keep me up to "Speed", pardon the pun !he-he I also enjoy watching Jen and the kids as they progress along. I have a guy up here that mounts me and have got to go to some of the Wrangler ropings, but it's just not the same as being home roping with Tuley, Shane, Willis, and all the rest of the gang. Hope to see you when I get in, maybe head one for Jen !

Speed Williams - 8/31/2010 11:11:37 AM

When you sign up your price stays the same unless you cancel your subscription.

ruben guerra jr - 8/31/2010 10:16:15 AM

hi speed.had a question if i paid 150 when i became a member.will i still pay the same after a year or will it change.thanks speed

Dale Davis - 8/31/2010 9:23:57 AM

If you dont think that Speed is devoted to making this website better, just take a look at the time at which he posted that last comment. Thats burning the midnight oil. If he had a baby that he had to get up with, like I do, i wouldnt be that impressed, but he starts before daylight and quits... well you can see for yourself. That is not wanting or talking about being better, that is actually doing what it takes to be a winner. That is what separates he and Clay O, Jake, Joe B, Cody Ohl, Rich, Al Bach and all of the rest of those old pros from the guys that started at the same time they did. The old vets didn't dominate when they fisrt started like all of these kids expect to do. They became dominant when they became willing to change and progress. Leo Camarillo changed the way people heeled steers and dominated. Clay O took it one step further and dominated. Tee Woolman was one of the original bombers, dominated. Speed took it one step further with the superior cattle handling which is afforded by having his horses more broke and having better control. The game has changed people and this man is letting everyone that wants to know how to change with it. For those of you who say that you can't afford it, I bet you guys still go to a jackpot whenever there is one close. It costs less to join this site than it takes to enter a jackpot. Granted, Speed is not going to call your name out so that all of your friends and neighbors can watch when you chase one. Why dont you all SPEND THE TIME and the little bit of money it takes to learn from the greatest header of all time. If you do, I promise you that you will start hearing your name called more often, more in the short round and not just in the first round. Anyone can enter, only those who work at will win on a cosistent basis. Thanks for the use of this soap box, yall have a good day and God bless you.

Speed Williams - 8/31/2010 1:42:52 AM

I will check on that

Randy Friesen - 8/31/2010 12:04:10 AM

Roped a hot heels for the first time tonight. It was great and really got to work on my my position and dalley, and teaching my horse to set up the run for the heeler. Do the subscribers to the website get a discount if they happen to buy one and say that Speed sent them. Just a thought.

Tyler Rippy - 8/30/2010 7:07:49 PM

Is it better to rope the steer running away from you or you running to it?
Thanks Tyler Rippy

dee tiller - 8/27/2010 11:53:09 PM

hey speedy im lookin for heads up match on poker table. whats u think lol. dee tiller

Raul Guzman - 8/26/2010 6:40:10 PM

My buddy and I rope we both had a question I use 3 average size loops and he uses 4 smaller ones we wanted to know what you use? thanks Raul Guzman

Speed Williams - 8/26/2010 1:42:15 PM

Alfredo Virgen That is a good one have that on my kids video but wil put that on on the list might wait till it cools off to do that one.

Jerry Thompson - 8/26/2010 12:10:13 PM

Speedy just got the DVD Power Drill wih you and Ricky Green from your mom,can not wait to try some of the drills on practice night. I did not realize how many drills there were, even though we have been roping the HOT HEELS for a long time.Many times we simpley warm up on the hot heals then go diectly to live cattle. After watching this video i hope we will do much more drill work before going to live cattle. I think it will be a win-win for both us and our horses.Must tell you i have thoroughly enjoyed your webb site, you have been very active and timely with your postings and that gives me some excellent insight as to why some runs fail to turn out like we want them to.good luck at the jackpots rodeos

Eric, Karrie, Noah, Hatten, & Claire G - 8/25/2010 11:06:48 AM

Hello Speed and Family,

We recently found your site and are hooked! Noah (3) ropes the dummy 24/7 and loves watching Gabe! He wants to know if he can have a pony like Blackie, instead of his big horse!

Thank you for sharing your wealth of knowledge!

Randy Friesen - 8/24/2010 11:49:46 PM

To the comment that Dale Davis made, I agree with him. It gives a different aspect on what is going on during a run. There are so many things going on at the same time that are executed in just a few short seconds. So with that said. Speed, have you or would you ever consider maybe filming a few practice runs from the box? The site is awesome and i've learned alot. I didn't start roping until a few months ago,and having the convience of an 8 time world champion as my teacher is something that I never thought would happen.

Speed Williams - 8/24/2010 10:52:29 PM

Thanks dale's

Dale Davis - 8/24/2010 8:41:37 PM

The video titled 'partners' is an excellent display on how to get the neck. It has a different camera angle than the new videos that are filmed at Speed's house in De Leon. You can see the angle of the swing and delivery on a variety of different cows, distances, and angles. Also gives an inside look on how much dedication it takes to stack eight worlds champion saddles up in eight years. It is also a good vid for the heelers who are trying to step it up by practicing on those muleys too.

dale hahn - 8/24/2010 6:21:34 PM

Mr Bard, I enjoyed your comment. Like you, Speed has got me excited about roping again. And your comparison of roping to other sports is right on the money. I enjoy all the cliches that are so true-one of which is something like perfect practice makes perfect. And Speed shows you how.

Speed Williams - 8/24/2010 2:56:02 PM

Arnold there are a lot of videos on the inside of the website talking about how to win. I see you have only watched 7 videos so far there are over 200 more to watch.

Arnold Veliz - 8/24/2010 1:42:28 PM

Hey speedy, im Arnold and i enjoy watching ur videos here. I've been having a problem when it comes to roping my last steer I get tense and nervous!Any advice sir ?

Speed Williams - 8/24/2010 1:04:42 PM

Thanks G.A and Glen that means a lot putting comments up like that when new people come check it out the website.

Speed Williams - 8/24/2010 1:01:52 PM

I will do one on roping steers around the neck

Rocky Louthan - 8/24/2010 9:12:54 AM

Hey Speedy, this is Rocky we were at First Baptist Church Llano at the same time I was the youth and activities minister. I am loading up on the videos and working on applying the play by play in the practice pen. I am trying to make a transition from roping right horn left horn to roping both horns at the same time. I am also struggling with consistenly catching mulies or steers with head trick issues that I want to rope around the neck. Do you have any video suggestions or thoughts on these issues. Thanks and God bless...

g.a. swindle - 8/24/2010 7:24:07 AM

Hali and Gabe are perfect examples of how the proper type of training can help.Some parents just put their kids on a horse and say go rope. Some go out and buy training videos for all different types of sports,Your site is the perfect training site, this is better than a one time video to watch over and over again.This is like having your own private trainer,Also it shows the importance of being able to see you and your horse after a training session.Football teams saw the importance of filming practice many years ago its now time ropers do the same thing not just at a roping but at practice.

Alfredo Virgen - 8/23/2010 4:59:26 PM

Good Afternoon Speed. Could you post a video or videos on different ways to hold(grip between fingers) your reings with your left hand and the appropriate length in reference to the saddle horn and why . Also bit and tiedown combinations and lenghts best suited for heel horses so that they can really get on the horse like LC.
I know that that information is readily available anywhere, but that is why I'm a member because I value your information and experience. Thank you

Speed Williams - 8/23/2010 4:42:39 PM

Thanks guys love these kind of comments

Glenn Bailey - 8/23/2010 4:26:30 PM

I met Speed a few months ago at a gathering in Palo Pinto. He was doing a short clinic at the 4F arena on roping and horsemanship. As it turns out one of the people chosen to rope (so Speed could pick them apart) had a horse doing exactly what my horse was doing, kicking his butt out every time he was ready to rope. Speed got on the horse and in a matter of 10 min had the horse setting in the corner. It took me a little longer but I finally got my box problems (and a couple other problems on rating that he talks abou on the website) fixed.

Short story: without Speed’s help I would have never been able to take this horse to a jackpot. I have been a member since early spring and have enjoyed this new method of learning how to improve my roping skills. BTW, if you watch the Lloyd South Number 10 short go on Speed’s website, I am the 2nd high team header that won the #10 on the horse that many said I should give up on. Thanks Speed.

chris farrar - 8/23/2010 4:25:02 PM

SPEED IT WAS AWESOME SEEING YOU ROPE WITH YOUR MOM,SHE IS A AWESOME LADY I HAD THE PLEASURE OF MEETING HER IN MARIANNA FL.SHE WAS AT THE ROPING AT THE AG CENTER.WE TALKED FOR JUST A FEW MINUTES BECAUSE IT WAS RAINING,SHE TOLD ME THAT SHE LOVED THE LORD AND I TOLD HER I DO TO.I UNDERSTAND NOW WHY YOU HAVE BEEN SO SUCCESSFUL OTHER THAN HARD WORK YOU HAD A PRAYING MOTHER WHO ASK GOD FOR THE BEST IN YOUR LIFE BECAUSE GOD GAVE YOU THIS GREAT TALENT.MAY YOU AND YOUR FAMILY BE BLESSED IN ALL YOU AND TELL YOUR MOM I SAID THANK YOU AGAIN FOR THE VIDEO AND LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING HER NEXT YEAR OR IN NOVEMBER WHEN THEY HAVE THE NTRL.GOD BLESS YOU HAVE A GREAT DAY.

chris farrar - 8/23/2010 4:17:20 PM

MR.BARD YOU SAID IT RIGHT AND DESCRIBED MOST OF EVERY PROFESSIONAL LIFE.I WOULD LIKE TO DO IT MORE BUT TIME IS NOT GOOD TO ME.BUT I LOOK AT VIDEOS ALL THE TIME AND I STUDY THE RUNS OVER AND OVER.I LISTEN TO SPEED VERY CLOSELY BECAUSE I DO NOT WANT TO BE JUST A AVERAGE ROPER,I WANT TO BE GOOD.

Speed Williams - 8/22/2010 7:23:05 PM

There is a video on boxes and talk about why they are that way

Clay Birkeland - 8/22/2010 7:18:45 PM

New member, here. Love what I've learned from watching a handful of the videos.

I have to ask, and if it has been asked and answered I apologize, but why are the walls/side of your boxes so high? I'm sure there is a purpose! Curiosity gets the best of me 8-)

Travis Bard - 8/22/2010 5:55:15 PM

Most of the people I know enter a roping to win and that is the driving force to make us practice, travel and enter. We work hard all week, stay involved in kid and family activities then practice when we can because it’s our form of recreation and an outlet for our desire to compete. Roping is a curious thing and, like golf, it’s a sport that offers constant challenge, frustration, reward and satisfaction. For most of us roping is a sideline to our full-time profession so there is a constant struggle to maximize the quality and effectiveness of our practice as we fit it in between many other life priorities.

Through the years the primary sources for learning and improving have been to attend a roping school, read an article, watch a video or hire the best roper we know for a little coaching. These are all viable teaching and learning methods though, with the evolution of technology, it is inevitable that new and creative ideas come along. Team roping is a hands-on sport which makes it difficult for the professionals to devise new, innovative and creative methods to deliver their teaching material but, with the amount of windshield time involved in the sport, it was only a matter of time before someone broke the mold.

Speed Williams has long made a name for himself with his creative and innovative approach to the art of team roping. I am not the least bit surprised that he is the man to devise a teaching and instructional method that suits his personal style and family priorities, yet offers roping junkies like myself constant access to tips and information that are challenging, entertaining and effective. I am convinced that SpeedRoping.com is one of the best ideas the roping industry has enjoyed since..... the four-strand rope or Hot Heels.

What’s the big deal? With an extensive and growing video library it is up to us as the user to decide what we want to watch, study and learn at any given time. If you have a little down-time and want to “chill” and be entertained, you can catch up on the latest with Speed and Jen’s kids. Want to study horsemanship? There are lots of resources on riding, training and tuning on your horse. Have a particular aspect of your roping you want to work on? There are numerous videos of Speed heading or Clay O’ heeling - you pick. The choices are endless.

Not too long ago I saw an interview with Kobe Bryant where he talked about the hundreds of hours of video he watches as part of his approach to becoming a better player. This wasn’t just video of today’s great players but footage of the great players from 30 and 40 years ago. He has tremendous respect for “the game” and players from all generations and knows the value of visual learning and incorporating it in his daily practice routine. This method of learning is as effective for the team roper as it is for one of the best basketball players of all time and Speed Williams understands this concept.

I have been competing for 35 years and consider myself a student of the sport, yet I am not satisfied with certain aspects of my roping. SpeedRoping.com is the resource I have needed to start learning again at a level I’ve not had in many years. I have a new energy for the sport I love and, in a short time, can feel results in my roping and horsemanship which I attribute to the learning environment on Speed’s website. I highly encourage any roping enthusiast to check out SpeedRoping.com and sign up for the hottest new thing in team roping!

KELLY TULEY - 8/21/2010 1:47:08 PM

well guys its ole tutu here again.. Everyone knows that Speed is a sponor of Tuley Productions.. I think the website he has here is great thing for us weekend warriors. I took my son over to his house about a month and a half ago along with myself. All u people that are asking the questions on the site are great questions. Give Speed a call and set up a school with him. I will tell u that u will leave there a better roper. After i left there I have won right at $7000.00 in the last month and a half. Guys stop blowing your money on tryn to correct urself in ur own practice pen, in the ropings. Go get professional help. An alcoholic cant stop drinking alone, a rookie roper cant get better on his own. GET HELP!!!!!!! My son Austin Tuley has been entered in 4 ropings since we left. He has made 2 short goes and 2 second rounds. Guys listen to me ,Get help. I did and it has paid off..Good Luck and GOD BLESS!!!!!!

g.a. swindle - 8/21/2010 12:20:57 PM

Hali you did a great job,staying focused on your job and the steer.Keep up the good work and remember those headers will starve you to death.

Speed Williams - 8/19/2010 10:59:55 PM

Guys I am swamped this weekend will be back answering some of these questions next week. Hometown Rodeo an shooting the commercial for Fox Sports News. I will get to the questions next week thanks hope everyone has a good weekend. I miss the first steer for Hali tonight (practice pen)will put it up soon.

Tish Luke - 8/19/2010 1:06:03 PM

Is Jennifer's rope tie-off rope longer than your Mom's? Tell Halli I love her new horse!

Randy Urich - 8/19/2010 12:44:55 PM

Speed:
I am a #7 header and I had a stroke 4 years ago so I quit due to lack of my ablity . I have been trying to get back in the sport again but I have had some problems with controlling my horse with my left arm can you give me any advice ?Not ready to give it up all together .

Charlie Mathis - 8/19/2010 8:20:58 AM

Speed,
Need a liitle advise on facing my horse. I know he is not hurting anywhere and my saddle isn't hurting him; I tried 2 different saddles. With a steer in tow, he wants to only face 1/4 to 1/3 of the way. I can drag my rope and he will face correctly and even drag a light log and he faces easily. Last night in practice I started just undallying when my heeler caught; face him, back him up a couple of steps, when pet him to give him relief. I was told I could have created a habit of not fully facing to save practice steers along with trying to save my rope from dragging. By not stopping my horse and riding off to the the stripping chute, the horse didn't get relief until he reached the stripping chute. Last night was the first night I've tried undallying,backing him up a couple of steps and rubbing on him. I've had the horse about 9 months and he's getting worse about the facing. Can you offer any advise? Love the website, but it keeps me away from my work!
Thanks
Charlie Mathis

Autumn Sears - 8/18/2010 10:14:27 PM

I went to a wrangler #4 roping saturday and was all confident ready to rope. Well the steers were so slow that every time one was turned for me my horse would over run them run into them and my swing I am assuming was slowing down because the steers were slow and hitting the right flank and falling down. It was very depressing and embarassing I went back to the sawhorse and worked on getting the bottom strand on the ground. Is there anything else I can practice to be prepared in a month for the same roping and steers.

Brandi Pontin - 8/18/2010 9:16:18 PM

Thank you very much for helping me address my release problem with a personal phone call!
I am already back to the dummy to practice the release technique you gave me. That was incredible service that I did not expect. I have already saved myself ( and my horse) time by joining you site. Looking forward to new videos. Brandi

Randy Bates - 8/18/2010 7:50:25 PM

When you analyze your wife's roping it would be nice to have you comment a little on the handle. I am struggling a bit with heelers not catching for me and I think it must be my handle because they are catching for others. The problem is I hear a lot of different things about handling steers and so I'm not sure what a good handle looks like. My heelers tell me I am giving them a good handle but maybe they don't recognize the difference either.

Brandi Pontin - 8/18/2010 7:34:03 PM

I would appreciate a video of a session on the dummy teaching delivery techniques. especially the exact moment of delivery. Also if you could demonstrate the difference between horns and mulies.
Thanks.

Speed Williams - 8/17/2010 9:56:32 PM

It is on the list but I believe roping the hot heels moving slow is the best drill so they learn to watch the legs when throwing their rope. I am shooting the commercial for Fox Sports this week so it might be a little bit still. I am going to show what drills I have my wife doing too but have her watch Hali on the hot heels videos for now. With putting up these short rounds of the ropings have had me pretty busy.

porfirio tucson - 8/17/2010 9:35:34 PM

Hey Speed I originally asked if you could put some dummy drills on heeling because my 11yr old daughter wants to learn how to heel your heading dummy drills have been so beneficial I would like to give her the same knowledge thank you.,

Marc Chancey - 8/17/2010 9:26:52 PM

Hey Speed, I just watched the videos of your kids and mine competing in the mutton bustin at Commanche. Brought back some cool memories. Just thought I would thank you for including my kids on your video, they really liked that. Hope all is well with family. Talk to ya soon.

Speed Williams - 8/17/2010 6:40:50 PM

Well John I tried calling you but had a bad phone number. I am sorry 65 dollars is high to you but have you ever done the math on what you spend trying to rope a month. It is 2 dollars a day for advice on how to do things to improve your roping at home and when you leave home. I have spent years learning from mistakes and failures on what not to do. This is a total new way of teaching but it cost me quite a bit of money to build this plus staff. I started out telling people there would be three stages to building the Library of videos. One steer that you could catch from all the advice will pay for your subscription. I am sorry I can not do it for free but the world does not work that way as you know it takes money to be able to do anything. I am building it for people who want to get better and not go through all the mistakes that I made to get where you can win. Team Roping is an expensive sport to get into because you can spend 500 dollars to 2000 dollars in entry fees (per weekend) not to mention all the other expensive things that go with it like a truck, trailer, horse, feed, saddle, tack, ropes. So for 65 dollars a month or a dollar a day for a year. You can learn how to do things the way that was successful for me. I wish all of you the best of luck with your roping remember if you are not prepared when you leave home there is a good chance you are not going to win.

John Stuper - 8/17/2010 1:20:20 PM

Sorry, I messed that up. It is really at $65 per month. What made you come up with that fee. I guess you started at $25, then $50, and now $65. Sorry for the mess up.

John Stuper - 8/17/2010 1:18:52 PM

Speed, have you thought about offering a shorter period of watching videos for a certain rate, like a 24hr fee or something where you try to get previous members to subscribe again even if it is for a short while. For some people in todays time $50 a month is a lot of money. Just wondering.

Speed Williams - 8/17/2010 9:41:34 AM

Thanks Randy I have tried to make it helpful for people to learn how do things to help them improve their roping.

Randy Friesen - 8/16/2010 11:13:18 PM

I like watching these ropings that are put on the site. Get to see alot of different styles of ropers, and the training of their horses. I find myself trying to figure out what the roper does to catch and miss, and how did they pull of a shot like that! Thanks Speed.

Speed Williams - 8/14/2010 8:15:01 AM

Gabriel there are a lot of those answers on the inside of the website

gabriel costa - 8/13/2010 11:09:09 PM

speed, which style do you use for delivery your heel loop, trap or scoop?
there are difference on horse position and the angle of the swing?
thanks

rick scruggs - 8/12/2010 10:47:04 PM

speed this is rick scruggs from south carolina.i talked to u a while back bout bout my buddy jd that u know and i was wonderin if u were doin any more deals like u did with casey i would really be interested in doin something like that or if u know anybody else that would do something like that any suggestions would be appreciated and i love the website i never miss a video and nice stickin at waco

Paul Park - 8/11/2010 10:46:59 PM

I second Joe Troyer's comment. Thanks Jennifer!!!

Joe Troyer - 8/11/2010 3:42:02 PM

Jennifer....my hats off to you for allowing Speed to expose your faults on the heel side. Its incredible how much easier it is to fix my mistakes after seeing Speed explain what you are doing wrong. For a gal i've never met before....there isn't any that i've been more proud of then you! thanks for your help!

g.a. swindle - 8/11/2010 6:54:23 AM

being able to see the mistakes of others and your critique of them gives us a clearer picture into our own problems.Also watching the likes of clay and others is a big help.Their horsemanship and timing along with your back down is invaluable.

juan crisostomo - 8/8/2010 12:36:49 PM

Speed thank you for your advice your site is very good serves as much help because i have 15 years old and i like the team roping and i estoi teach would like to see dieras some tips in Spanish to improve my ties and make better times thanks.

juan crisostomo

Speed Williams - 8/8/2010 11:35:26 AM

I will try to have the rest of the short rounds up this week

ken beck - 8/7/2010 3:16:09 PM

Thanks Speed for a very informative site.I am 64 and just started roping a while back ,So I like all the information I can get from your site,Thanks again speed keep up the good work

dale hahn - 8/7/2010 10:39:03 AM

Speed- way to go at Waco-SWeet! Boy I like watching you guys.

Noe De Los Santos Jr. - 8/6/2010 5:50:49 AM

This site is awesome Speed.Congrats in waco !

Keith Goff - 8/4/2010 8:58:56 PM

You made a comment about your wife having trouble with her delivery not getting the rope under the cow. I believe this is also a big problem that i have. I had to retire my 16 hand horse and i am now roping on a 14 hand horse. I have had a lot of problems getting my rope under the cow instead of hitting the ground to the right. What kind of drills would you suggest for this problem?

Paul Park - 8/4/2010 1:18:56 PM

Thanks for the stopping video. It makes perfect sense that the horse needs to stop at different times, depending on how close I am to the steer. The first question that came to me was that if I had a finished horse and I threw from further back, he would stop before my rope hit the legs, causing me to miss. After thinking about it, I think that once I get a finished horse, either he will normally run to the correct spot or I will have improved enough to change my delivery to compensate. Is this correct?

Reed Rider - 8/3/2010 4:33:56 PM

Thanks for the stopping of a heel horse video. Its nice to see the detailed teaching. Many times we know what is wanted of our horse, but we are unsure of what, when, and where to ask him. The insights to your mind, legs, and hands are great.

porfirio tucson - 8/2/2010 6:52:52 PM

Speed wondering if you can put some ground drills on a dummy for heeling.

JOAO PAULO CORDEIRO - 8/2/2010 9:24:51 AM

Good night Speed my name John Paul and residue in Brazil, wanted to know which the best form of acquiring someone his DVD since I practice team roping here in Brazil to some years and am his fan, I admire much his profissao and I look it mirrors me very much in you, even knowing on what oh in the USA you Laçao cheats and not neck to base and quite similar. Favor returns if possivel in the email jpcmorais@hotmail.com.
Very obliged
John Paul

Speed Williams - 8/1/2010 9:06:29 PM

Can somebody help with this

Gary Spalding - 8/1/2010 9:02:42 PM

What?

JOAO PAULO CORDEIRO - 8/1/2010 7:37:23 PM

Boa noite Speed meu nome João Paulo e residuo no Brasil, queria saber qual a melhor forma de adquirir alguns DVD seu pois pratico team roping aqui no Brasil a alguns anos e sou seu fã, admiro muito sua profissao e procuro me espelha muito em voce, mesmo sabendo que ai nos EUA voces Laçao chifre e não pescoço a base e bem parecida.Favor retorna se possivel no email jpcmorais@hotmail.com.
Muito obrigado
João Paulo

Chan Peters - 8/1/2010 4:20:08 PM

Enjoyed the Stoping of a heel horse. Cant wait to get in the pen and work on this ALONG with the corner.

Speed Williams - 8/1/2010 11:14:39 AM

I am working on the voice over of her roping

Paul Park - 8/1/2010 10:11:51 AM

Please pass my thanks to Jennifer for sharing the videos of her heeling. I'm at a similar level and your tips for her, really help me. It was wonderful to see her win!

chris farrar - 7/28/2010 2:17:57 PM

so i am assuming you are saying i can pay the monthly fee and watch the videos and apply the tools and be able to teach my horse and myself.and maybe attend a school or two in the future if financialy possible.thank you for the good word and have a blessed day.

Randy Friesen - 7/27/2010 5:16:52 PM

I am a beginner roper and just started roping 2 months ago. I watch every video and some videoes several times,and then go and try to execute what I have learned. I am a visual learner and this is the perfect thing for me. Speed,thanks for letting us in on your world and practice pen to see how things are suppose to be done, and done with saftey. I feel that I'm ahead of the game by far with the information you provide. Keep up the good work. A membership is well worth it. Personally I think a man or women could go out, and win a roping or a rodeo for the amount of money it takes for a membership pretty quick with the information provided on the website.

chris farrar - 7/27/2010 5:10:24 PM

thank you for your time mr.williams i know you are busy.i fully agree me not knowing nothing and my horse being limited is a ruff combination.what school would you recommend that would be most beneficial to me.how long do you suggest i go to a school for i am a one income family who would be the most cost efficient for me.just a thought why dont you make me a deal i cant refuse LOL.thank you and have a awesome night.

Speed Williams - 7/27/2010 11:35:34 AM

My advice is right here on the website. There are a lot of tips on how to ride a young heel horse. So my answer would be go to a school or buy a membership because there is a whole lot you need to work on before you mess up your young horse.Chris for you to have a young horse and you have been only trying to rope for year that is very hard for you both to improve. I sure hope you have a Hot Heels.

chris farrar - 7/27/2010 8:38:51 AM

GOODMORNING MR.WILLIAMS I HAVE THE 8 TO 5 JOB AND A YOUNG HORSE THAT WAS STARTED ON THE HEEL SIDE AND I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO LEARN FOR 1YR.WHAT WOULD BE THE BEST APPROACH FOR ME TO SPEED UP THE PROCESS.I REALLY HAVE THE DESIRE TO DO WELL BUT MY TIME IS LIMITED AND I HAVE A GREAT HORSE HE WILL BE GREAT IF ME AND HIM CAN EVER GET THERE.THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME HAVE A GREAT AND BLESSED DAY.

AMIE POND - 7/26/2010 12:23:48 PM

I would like to see more on dallying..correct angle to the steer and where my horse should be when I START to turn the steer... Amie :)

Speed Williams - 7/26/2010 12:17:03 PM

We just crossed 150,000 videos watched

KELLY TULEY - 7/25/2010 9:24:01 PM

i went to a roping today. This is the second roping i have been to since i have been to speeds house. I went back in my mind to what I was told to do at his house. You know learning something new is hard to do when old habits set in. If you are a roper you know what i mean about habits!!!!!!!
I went back to what he told me to do.I thought about my right stirrup being taken away from me. I pictured speed sitting on the fence telling me dont lean,,,dont lean.... It didnt start out so great, but in the end once i got back to reality of what i was taught at his house,,,, i won the roping!!!!!!!!!!!! This is the best thing i have ever been told and taught how to do... Learn from a CHAMPION,,,, be a CHAMPION..... Plain and simple........

Speed Williams - 7/25/2010 7:08:45 PM

The comment page was built for you to make comments about the website and videos or to ask for videos on different subjects. Some will take a lot longer than others but will try to get to them.

Speed Williams - 7/25/2010 7:03:32 PM

You just asked about that the other day will get some old steers and make one. Dale I am behind on my list to do just wish I was faster at all the stuff behind the scenes. I have to spend some time each week watching tutorials on different stuff just to learn how to do new stuff. I am working on being able to draw lines on stuff. All I am saying will try to always have something new ever day but it does take quite a bit of work to get this done. Remember this is not what I have spent my whole life doing but I am learning on the go. I would never get any videos done if I started answering question on the comment page. I have to have a big horn low headed steer to do a video on it.

Dale Davis - 7/25/2010 5:07:43 PM

I need some advice about roping low headed, big horned steers. I know the sure fire way is to get em around the throat but, when they have big flat horns, it seems like it is just as hard to get the neck as it is to rope the horns. I have medium plus range and dont mind them going right or coming left if it will help me get a chance at them with their head up. Havent found a video, may not be looking in the right place. Any help will be appreciated.

doug basolo - 7/25/2010 1:26:46 PM

Although I am not able to join and see the videos I need the most, I really enjoy seeing you and your family enjoing being together. I lost my son in a traffic accident a few years ago and miss him soooo much. Please enjoy your family and good luck to you.

dale hahn - 7/24/2010 8:44:05 AM

Hey Speed, Enjoyed the flight, way cool. Cant wait to get my cap :-).

Paul J. Welch - 7/23/2010 9:43:26 PM

Speedy.I love your website and I'm glad it is doing well for you. In just a short time I have learned and improved my roping from watching and trying the instructions you give on the videos. But to be honest, what I love and enjoy the most is how you include and show your love for your family. In my eyes this makes you a world champion. My kids are grown and gone, but I love how my wife supports my roping and is in the arena with me everytime I'm roping. Thanks again and I hope to make a school with you soon.

sherri wilson - 7/23/2010 5:41:53 AM

Good Morning!
My hot little "Mustang" is visiting your ranch with Marc Chancey and family from Waynesboro,Ga. What a great opportunity!! Marc has been working with him for a few months, my humble request is please check in on him and ask Marc "why he bit off his ears and most importantly where is his glitter? We look forward to the knowledge you provide through your website and videos.
S&J Wilson

Ed zangerle - 7/22/2010 11:49:24 AM

Hello Speed,
I have gained a tremendous amount of knowledge and information in the short time that I have been a member of your website. Thank you and especially Jennifer for being so courageous and allowing all of us viewers to see her mistakes in the beginning and to witness her great improvements. The money spent is definitely well worth it.
E. Zangerle

Braden Davidson - 7/21/2010 7:00:48 PM

Speed, real helpful web.thanxs, ive got a ? on my older head horse. Its hard for me to rope right out of the box until he levels out and gets his front down. what are some good drills to fix this?Too be able to rope faster. thanx again. Braden Davidson, Sheridan Wyo

Chan Peters - 7/21/2010 5:19:46 PM

Speed, Thanks again for helping me with the corner and position of my horse. Being able to watch what you have on your videos is a big help since i can have someone video me and then see where i need to improve on my horse position. after last night seeing that i still pull to much on my horse in the corner, but at least the stoping is a lot better. Thanks

jim heiser - 7/20/2010 11:14:40 PM

Speed,After watching Wesleys video I am more confused about roping both horns at the same time.I attended one of David Jones clinics about 5 years ago .We worked on attacking the steer from above and roping both horns at the same time.Now I miss alot or split the horns when I get too close.If I ride really wide I hardly ever miss.How do I break this habit?

Clayton Winslow - 7/20/2010 10:36:44 PM

Speed, thanks for voicing over a video about the Fastlane. I never really understood why they were so against the little dummy that we had around and roped when we were kids. I have been going to build one like what we had growing up for my son, but I'm going to look into just buying one. I like the idea of having real horns to rope rather than the PVC horns we roped on the old one.

Reed Rider - 7/20/2010 6:22:59 PM

you mentioned Speed in Justin's video about him going down the arena on his horse. I've watched all the video's and I don't see many on live cattle of you from the side, I was hoping we may be able to see this at you house some time where we can see better your left hand. I know we can see it at the events, but those are on you good horses and your not working or fixing them at a competition. I wanted to see Justin's horse compared to your's. I have the same problem of going down the arena and want to see your hands to fis it.

Speed Williams - 7/20/2010 5:29:54 PM

Clayton I put a video on that subject

Speed Williams - 7/20/2010 3:38:54 PM

Yes I was hard on Wesley but he watched it first before I ever put it up for the subscribers to see. Well dale he was that bad because he never stop talking trash all day.

Clayton Winslow - 7/18/2010 10:20:06 PM

I have a question regarding the Fast Lane Dummy. I didn't really start roping on a horse until I was 24. When I was a kid my cousins and I roped something very similar to that. The question I have is I remember at some point someone saying it taught the heeler bad habits. What is your opinion on that. I really like that it has a full set of horns on it I think that's pretty good practice.

KELLY TULEY - 7/18/2010 9:28:56 PM

This is Kelly Tuley. I took my son and i over to Speeds house on Saturday. I have to honestly say my son in one trip over there is a more mental roper than he used to be. He is only 11. Watching his self on video made him see what he was doing wrong. This was the greatest experience that i could ever have offered or givin to him. I owe it all to the man. Speedy.!!!That was the greaest practice that i have ever been to.. All you ropers that read this, you can keep going to the practices at the house. Keep going to the jackpots to fix your problems.You will spend more money doing this than you will at a school with the man!!!! I encourage that if you want to get better, you need to go this. Become a member, go to the schools and become a champion.. I went, I became a member, it has paid off for me..Thanks Speedy!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Speed Williams - 7/17/2010 3:17:24 PM

Just wait till the Subscriber video is loaded Wesley and I show some of those good loops you threw.

Wesley Stanton - 7/17/2010 11:44:41 AM

Tish, I can't say that I share your enthusiasm about the schools being added to the website, but I do appreciate your sympathy. And Dale? Come on man? I wasn't that bad of a student. Speed exaggerates sometimes!

Dale Davis - 7/17/2010 10:08:25 AM

Should have put him on the black horse that Coleman rode

Tish Luke - 7/16/2010 4:40:03 PM

I am so glad you have added your schools to the website. You have to promise to be nicer to me when I come out there than you are to Wesley!

Steve Tade - 7/15/2010 8:59:45 PM

Just got off the conference call with Speed. It was excellent. Gave us a lot of good tips and answered all of our questions. I highly recommend being a member.

dale hahn - 7/13/2010 8:19:01 PM

Hey Speed, I enjoyed seeing your place. Hey are you still selling your caps?

JOE R. GONZALEZ - 7/13/2010 8:11:34 PM

SPEED, I JUST READ ABOUT YOUR LITTLE BOY BEING ALLERGIC TO SHRIMP. I KNOW THE FEELING BECAUSE I AM TOO. NOT ONLY HAVE I BROKEN OUT IN A RASH BUT MY THROAT STARS CLOSING IN FROM THE IMFLAMATION AND MAKES IT VERY HARD TO BREATHE. IT'S THE IODINE IN THE SHELL FISH INCLUDING LOBSTER,ETC..THAT STARTS THE REACTION.VENADRIL WILL TAKE THE REACTION AWAY REAL FAST.IF YOU DON'T HAVE VANADRIL HANDY THEN SOME MILK OR WINE (NOT FOR YOUR LITTLE BOY) WILL HELP. I NURSE TOLD ME ONCE THAT I CAN EAT SHRIMP AS LONG AS IT WAS FROZEN FIRST. I TRIED IT AND IT WORKS! I WAS ABOUT YOUR SON'S AGE WHEN IT STARTED AND I'M 54 YRS. YOUNG NOW. MY HAT OFF TO YOU ON YOUR WEBSITE. TAKE CARE. JOE R. GONZALEZ, ROSENBERG,TX.

Ron Cape.
I notice a lot of ropers use a tripping breast collar instead of a normal roping breast collar, what is the differance? and how does this affect your horse.

TraviS TEEL - 7/11/2010 7:42:21 PM

Speed,
Love the site! I am a # 2 and have been heading for about 6 months. Sat night I broke the ice and won a first place check in the #8.

joanie ivy - 7/11/2010 12:15:22 AM

Ok...I really like it! :)

Chan Peters - 7/7/2010 2:24:22 PM

Speed
When delivering the heel rope how should your hand be, flat or with thumb up as if you are shaking someones hand.
Thanks for your hard work
Chan

When you login need to check down the list for new videos some new ones are second or third sometimes

Derek Conrad - 7/7/2010 9:44:47 AM

Would really like to know your take on bits and tie downs. I think alot of people need more info on how a horse works depending on what you hang on his head.

Matt Funk - 7/7/2010 12:24:52 AM

Speed what would you recomend on a horse who wants to die off and hit his front end facing. Love the site thank you for helping team roping so much

Merry O'Callahan-Bauman - 7/6/2010 9:03:11 AM

Well, guess I can't see the video after all. Unless I pay $50. I am not planning on taking up team roping at 62. My sisters - Coleman's Mom Melody, and Aunt Sherry, as well as his sisters Sammye and Brandy - all team rope, but it looks like this Aunt is going to have to go to Coleman's house in Oklahoma to watch him ride that colt! Sorry I misunderstood about the membership thing. You have a great site for ropers!

Merry O'Callahan-Bauman - 7/6/2010 8:55:08 AM

Came here from seeing a video of my nephew Coleman Proctor (Winner of the George Strait Classic Team Roping 2010!)Been calling him "World Champ" since he was a little kid in diapers, boots, hat, and throwing a rope at a roping dummy. He will be 25 next month, and looks like he had a lot of fun on that colt of yours. I wanted to see the "locked" video you talked about in Facebook. This is really a fun site. Be back here often.

Casey Wilson - 7/5/2010 7:10:42 PM

Hey Speed was wondering what your thoughts are on how close you feed your hands when you heel. I understand the heading, but how about heeling.

Brian White - 7/5/2010 8:01:52 AM

Would like to see a video of measuring a rope barrier to determine score

dale hahn - 7/4/2010 6:11:41 PM

Re: Mr Woodard- he knows of what he speaks.

AMIE POND - 7/4/2010 3:55:26 PM

Thank you for the video on Dallying! I was wondering if it made a difference on what side of the horn you ended your dally? I see you always end on the left side of your horn but I see people ending on the right side too. I'm confused! Thanks, Amy

Bobbi williams - 7/3/2010 9:29:11 PM

Son wateched the videos of Gabe and Hale sure do enjoy them and all your tapes Keep up the work doing a great job. Love Mema

Dale Davis - 7/3/2010 10:46:07 AM

Walt Woodard's article in the Super Looper this month is something that I think you should recommend to your subscribers/viewers to this site. It talks about changing in order to get better and the fact you are going to go from bad to terrible before you get to good, better and best.

BRETT MCKNIGHT - 7/2/2010 4:55:24 PM

this is a very dangerous thing for those of us that grew up with you in florida so dont call me dumpplins any more because ever buddy can see what i say. but the website is great.

Tish Luke - 7/2/2010 8:14:57 AM

I love your website! The videos are short & concise but packed with information. You can watch a few & run to the arena or dummy & work on those. Its great to watch the kids/low number ropers progress too. Thanks for all the hard work you're putting into this. Tish Luke

Henry Brown - 7/1/2010 10:02:00 AM

Speed I got buck off a new horse pretty hard. He got me on the saddle horn and broke my pelvis and sacrum. I have been in a wheelchair for almost 3 months but not I am on a walker and soon a cane. Since I have had lots of down time I have signed up on your web site and I have loved every minute of it. I have told several friends about your site. I have learned a lot and can't wait to get back on and try all your little secrets to winning.
Thanks and I hope all is well with you and your family. Henry Brown ps tell my old buddy Roy Gene Evans hello for me.

Brad Bowie - 7/1/2010 9:21:08 AM

Speed I have been having some issues with my feet! I am a heeler and when I come around the corner to rope my left foot goes back and up and my horse rear end fades and quarter off. Could you look at doing a video on feet position, stance etc. for both the header and heeler?
Thank You
Brad Bowie

Clayton Winslow - 6/30/2010 10:52:44 PM

I've really learned quite a bit since I've been on this site, and thank you for that.
I know this question will come up several times, but do you have a good tip on dally practice for a heeler. I don't practice dallying on live cattle a lot due to the number of steers we have.
Also one other question, I've been trying to film some runs to breakdown myself, and would like any tips on what angles work the best for filming a heeler and their delivery.

Autumn Sears - 6/30/2010 4:58:41 PM

I got a heeling question for you. I been roping 2 feet pretty consistantly and have chosen not to tie on, but when I go to the horn there's nothing there. And when I do hold up and let it come tight then go to the horn I am at the end of my rope and panic then lose my rope. I guess my question is do I order me a tie on and tie on, or keep practicing until I get it down.

Gary Johnson - 6/30/2010 9:12:52 AM

I am sure this part of your plan, but I would like to hear and see your theory and method of handling steers.

Speed Williams - 6/29/2010 11:04:13 PM

I am working on Catagories as we speak like allheading all heeling ext

Blake Hawkins - 6/29/2010 9:09:48 PM

Can you list the videos by categories such as heeling practice ,heading practice, speeds jackpot runs ,dummy roping. On the hot heels DVD the session are listed 1 through 17 and if you want to review one item you better have a better memory than mine.

Thanks
Blake Hawkins DVM

Jason Dejolie - 6/29/2010 3:09:08 PM

I like the idea of the site and would like to access certain videos. It would be cool if we could pay to view certain videos instead of paying one fee for all the videos. Is that possible or is it just wishful thinking..

dale hahn - 6/28/2010 6:45:40 PM

Nothin like havin your horse break into goin to spin one - my horse did that with me last year so now I make sure I warm him up good!

Rick Hessman - 6/28/2010 5:04:04 PM

Your video's are great. Who ever takes them does a great job. My question is where do they stand and is your video on a tri-pod. When I have my wife stand at the back of arena or in the re-turn lane to video it either scares the cow or the picture doesn't get both ropers.

Rick

Blake Hawkins - 6/28/2010 11:14:52 AM

I love the Hot Heels, through your videos and the HH I have made improvement in both my horse and me. I would like to see some horsemanship videos I mean is it all done roping or do you practice that butt in the ground stop in other ways. I guess what I’m asking is their more to your training than just the HH. Culpepper gave a school at Clarksville and loped his black horse to the right in a left lead with the nose turned in, he said it took hours of practice to accomplish this but insured that his horse would stay in the left without crossfire. Is there riding technique that you do to improve your horse that doesn’t involved a HH. Thank you for the web site. I paid $300.00 for a 2 day school and I was running on fumes by the second day my shoulder hurt for two weeks due to the 10 hours of constant work I’ve been to many school on both horsemanship and roping but being able to work at my own pace instead of a 20 hour push works a lot better for me. I believe the home school rather then the public school is a good option for me.

Thanks

Langdon Pleasant - 6/28/2010 10:09:01 AM

Speed,

I’ve been roping calves for about 7 years and I’ve been wanting to team rope for a while, but I’m a broke college student so it wasn’t possible to go buy a finished head horse. So, I found me a nice gelding, spent about 6 months getting him real broke and sent him to a friend of mine for a couple of months to start on cattle. I’ve been real consistent roping calves for a while now, if I’m in position I rarely miss one. So I figured there’s nothing to heading, I don’t have any problems catching. Haha, I quickly found out it’s not that easy, my swing and delivery had to totally change, not to mention dallying and how to handle steers. When I got my horse back he was still pretty green and didn’t have much rate. I’ve had him back about 4 months now and have been roping the sled on him almost every day. I get to rope live cattle 1-2 times a week, not nearly much as I would like. I go to school in eastern North Carolina and rope pen’s are few and far between. The people that do rope are not nearly as committed as people in the western part of the state and other areas. I’ve got a rope pen back home but I can’t build one on the Reining Farm I live on so I’ve got a homemade heelomatic I get to practice on. I’ve finally found an old rope pen that they’re going to let me put some steers at not too far from the house so I’m really pumped about that. Were both starting to get more consistent and I’ve just started going to roping’s here in the last few weeks. This weekend I finally made it back to the short go 3 times in the #8 and #10. Well, what I’m really emailing for is to say thanks for starting your website. There are not many people to get help from down here so before your site I’ve been studying a lot of YouTube videos and videos of me roping. I’ve been following your tips now for several months and its paying off. After this weekend I’ve got a few things to work on that I think will improve my game for next weekend. I’m looking forward to new videos and now that I’ve got somewhere to rope consistent I think my roping is fixing to get more consistent as well.
Thanks again,
Langdon Pleasant

B.J. Dugger - 6/27/2010 8:52:39 PM

Good website Speed! Look forward to updates!

Speed Williams - 6/26/2010 9:11:39 PM

Amy have one on the way

AMIE POND - 6/26/2010 12:12:04 PM

Would love to see a slow motion video for dallying ! (Head side)

sherry rogers - 6/25/2010 6:10:05 AM

Love the website, as girls are getting more into roping. Would like to see a video on the swing and how to gain speed on your rope.

Clifford Leonard - 6/24/2010 4:59:01 PM

Hey Speed it was a pleasure meeting you at the BFI and you were right, this is an awesome tool.
Thanks for all your hard work. I can see I will be spending hours here.

KELLY TULEY - 6/24/2010 1:50:48 PM

I think both of you are doing a great job by trying to teach us your perfection....thank you speed

Sheria L. O'Neal - 6/23/2010 4:05:33 PM

Wow Jenn, you really gained swing speed in the corner on second steer right before delivery. That was really awesome! Tough luck on the third steer though. That steer looked like a real pup and the header got out great...looked to me like. Good Job JENN!!!

Sheria L. O'Neal - 6/23/2010 2:49:15 PM

Jenn, awesome second steer in the Ladies Roping, Reno. You are an inspiration to me. Keep up the great work. I am cheering you on!

Jennifer Williams - 6/21/2010 2:04:22 PM

I' glad they are liking it, I thought it would be fun to watch each of his runs right after they happened..... Love you Hali and Gabriel and Caden Wayne...

Heather Masters - 6/21/2010 1:59:46 PM

The kids have watched both of your BFI runs and they have been cheering you on!

DJ Woodward - 6/21/2010 12:59:43 PM

Horse worked awesome on the first steer at the BFI. That steer came into you slightly and then went back right and your horse stayed up in the shoulders and without total control of your horse like you had it makes for a wild shot on the heel end. Without the proper swing when that steer does that, you either miss the right horn or wave it off. Your students can learn lots on that run right there. You were in total control and looked prepared.

Vikki LaRue - 6/21/2010 12:19:50 PM

Speed, I just want to thank you for all your doing with your site. I have been struggling along heading for quite some time now, even a clinic and school or two has not helped that much. After getting a subscription to your site and reviewing all your videos over and over, I have seen a great improvement in my roping. My husband and son, both heelers, also watch and follow your drills and their results too are awesome!

I really think as more and more people use your site, team roping is going to get tougher! This has opened a door to learning and improving your roping like no one has ever seen!

Thanks again! Were so glad you have done this!
The LaRue Family

IRIS TUFTIN - 6/20/2010 10:22:05 PM

This is great being able to see the runs of our son Dean roping with you at the Reno Rodeo so soon after the event. We're excited about tomorrow's BFI. Best of Luck.

I am nearly finished writing a screenplay about a young boy from the city who comes to the ranch and learns to team rope. Guess who's in the script - Speed Williams! He comes to give a school. I will get it to you soon for your critique.

Guy Babbitt - 6/20/2010 10:09:34 PM

Your site is simply brilliant Speed. What a way to take your craft and share your expertise with everyone in such a unique way. This site is a tremendous vehicle to reach so many people and share your wealth of knowledge.

Excellent work, you should be very proud. Way to be a true pioneer.
