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 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 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 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! Travis Bard USTRC # 8 Header Chino Valley, AZ

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 Amarillo,Tx

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 dicochea - 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 dicochea - 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

edward 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 - 7/13/2010 12:01:07 PM

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

Speed Williams - 7/7/2010 12:17:09 PM

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. "Without change, there can be no progress."-Tyler Magnus

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 Blake Hawkins DVM

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

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

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. Iris Tuftin
