Trick roping is an entertainment or competitive art involving the spinning of a lasso also known as a lariat or a "rope." It is particularly associated with wild west shows or western arts in the United States. The lasso is a well known-tool of American cowboys, who developed rope spinning and throwing skills in using lassos to catch animals. Cowboys developed various tricks to show off their prowess with the lasso and demonstrations of these tricks evolved into entertainment and competitive disciplines. There is a well-established repertoire of tricks that can be divided into three fundamental categories: "flat loop", "vertical loop" and "butterfly". In addition there are thrown loop tricks and tricks that involve the use of two ropes. Among the vertical loop tricks is the "Texas Skip", which involves the performer spinning the lasso in a wide loop in a vertical plane and jumping through the loop from one side to the other on each rotation. Well-known trick ropers include Montie Montana, who had a 60-year career as trick roper and also appeared in several John Wayne movies. Actor Will Rogers, known for his roles as a cowboy, was an expert at trick roping, said to have invented the "Texas Skip." Horse trainer Buck Brannaman began his career in a child trick roping act with his brother. ==See also== * Bullwhip * Wild West Shows * Montie Montana 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「trick roping」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
