Fast Back Youths Dominate Summer Finals

GRANBURY, TX - Each summer youths of all ages compete in various finals across the country. Fast Back Ropes is proud of the Fast Back team that has been a dominating force this year:

CNFR - The 60th College National Finals was held in June in Casper, Wyoming. ‘Besting the rest’ to capture the CNFR All Around Champion title was Wyatt Althoff, Gilbert, AZ, by placing in both the Tie Down and Team Roping. Winning the Team Roping heading title was Kyle Roberts from Durango, CO.

WJHSFR - The Wrangler Junior High Finals Rodeo, held June 29 through July 5, in Gallup, New Mexico, featured Fast Back youths Gage Williams, Foster, OK and Reese Addison, Lipan, TX, winning second and third in the team roping.

IFYR - The International Youth Finals Rodeo is held each summer in Shawnee, Oklahoma. This year, from July 14-19, high school cowboys and cowgirls competed for $55,000 in added money. Fast Back cowboys dominated the team roping with Tom Richards, Humbolt, AZ, winning first with an 18.3 on three head; Jonathan Torres, Anthony, FL winning second; and Parker Reed, Congress, AZ winning third.

NHSFR - Farmington, New Mexico was the site of the National High School Finals Rodeo held July 20-26 where Fast Back team members appeared three times in the team roping top twenty.

AQHYA - Oklahoma City was home to the American Quarter Horse Youth World Championship Show held August 1-9, where Fast Back youth, Tavis Walters of Ovid, MI won Reserve Tie Down Champion and Reserve Heading Champion.

Proud of these youngsters, Fast Back believes an important part of preserving our western heritage and our sport is accomplished through promoting the young cowboys and cowgirls of today.

Jerome Schneeberger joins the Fast Back team

Fast Back Ropes is pleased to welcome Jerome Schneeberger, WNFR champion and 11-time qualifier to the elite Fast Back team. Since switching to Fast Back’s durable calf rope, the Iron Silk, Jerome has enjoyed a steady climb in the PRCA World Standings.

“From the beginning, these ropes have been consistent and felt great,” says Schneeberger, currently 18th in the world standings.

“I’ve always struggled with the high maintenance of poly-grass ropes. I pull the Iron Silk out and use it anytime while other guys are worrying about how the heat will affect their rope. These ropes are tough and I don’t have to worry about them breaking.”

The Iron Silk is made from 100% American-made texturized polyester and feels remarkably like a traditional poly-grass. Extremely tough and reliable, the Iron Silk is available in soft and extra-soft lays.

“There’s absolutely no maintenance to these ropes,” says Jerome.  “And since using them, I’ve started winning more.”
