      My WYO college rodeo buddies and I spent the better part of a semester trying to rope one. Ultimate fail though I did get close enough to catch one.  Yah we had a plan that almost worked even with a 30 mph horse. Jackrabbits with horns...........

      The whole world said I shoulda used red but it looked good to Charlene in John Deere Green!!

          I'm really studying his stride and turnover rate.  I think if I replicate it I might get a little closer to the top in my AG placings.  Anyone know how to contact him for some coaching? 

           

          Watch him in this video....

                He looks like he is having so much fun.  I think you might have to work on your tail-flicking technique to get the form right.

                 

                This reminds me of the video of the guy from Japan who spent 8 years learning how to run like a monkey & holds the world record for a human running on all fours.  Take a look:

                  that guy must have a strong core. I do that for core exercise and that tightens up everything between your neck and groin.

                    You run like a monkey for core work?  Cool.  Do you also have a youtube video you can share?

                          i just saw this even though you posted it 2 months ago.

                           

                          Bear crawls. Good for the core. Sort of like running like a monkey but without the "ooo ooo" sounds.

                            I'm going to stick with human.

                             

                            I'm pretty slow but at least when I run now, nothing ever tries to eat me.
