Roping.com is launching a new series for breakaway ropers, Pre-Summer Breakaway Tune Up Session with NFR calf roper Justin Maass, Jimmie Smith, and Kayla Graham.

This exclusive playlist follows a day-long practice session with Smith and Graham doing the roping and Maass doing the coaching, and covers high-level tips on scoring, horsemanship, sharp neck loops, and more that any roper could benefit from, no matter their age.

This series takes viewers into a practice session where both ropers, though their styles are polar opposite, have a common goal: prepare for the summer rodeos and work through all the kinks. Maass talks viewers through each run—the good and the bad—and touches on what he thinks breakaway ropers are struggling with today and how it can be fixed. After two sessions on different horses, Maass, Smith, and Graham get behind the hay bale to work through some ground work and the finer details.

There is no short of laughs, story-telling, and roping tips throughout this playlist, which has something for all walks of roper-life to enjoy.

The series is available to Roping.com members and is designed for breakaway ropers looking to get sharp and stay sharp, get mentally tough, and have access to tips and tricks to take their roping to the next level.
