Consistency pays off for Marty Jones

In August when Marty Jones first picked up Fast Back’s American-made, texturized poly rope, the Iron Silk, he was 25th in the Steer Roping world standings. After four rodeos, Marty had climbed in the standings and headed to the National Finals of Steer Roping in 9th place.
 
Two days and ten rounds later Marty had placed in seven of ten rounds, including one first place win and two second place finishes. Adding his sixth place average winnings of $2,885 to an impressive $23,656 in day money earnings gave Jones a fourth place finish in the world standings with $52,176.00 for the year.
 
The 50th anniversary NSFR ended with excitement and Scott Snedecor, of Uvalde, Texas, winning his second world championship with $90,185, the third highest single-season earnings total in steer roping history. Trevor Brazile, of Decatur, Texas, was second at $83,424 and Vin Fisher, Jr., of Andrews, Texas, was third with $55,259.
 
“I’ve had a lot of success since I started using the Iron Silk. This rope gives me a truer go than a traditional poly rope plus it’s easy to care for and requires no special treatment. I love the feel and especially love the results,” says Jones.

Marty Jones lives in Hobbs, NM with his wife Donna and three kids Ashley, Macey and Caden. Marty owns and operates Bootsie’s Western Store in Hobbs, NM.

Colter Todd and Cesar de la Cruz tie world record and win finale championship

There are few, if any, rodeo cowboys who do not dream about being the fastest team in the world. Colter Todd and partner Cesa de la Cruz, tied the world record with a blistering 3.5-second run in the semi-finals in Dallas at the Wrangler ProRodeo Tour on November 9th. A record that is shared by Fast Back teammates. First set in 2001 in San Angelo by Blaine Linaweaver and Jory Levy and tied at the 2005 NFR by Clay Tryan and Patrick Smith.

“It’s been a dream of mine for a long time to have this record,” says Todd, “We just tried to be as fast as we could. I knew we were under four seconds, but I didn’t think it was that fast.”

 The team followed up with a 5.2-second run in the finals to win the Wrangler ProRodeo Tour Championship, presented by the Texas Stampede, including $10,313, trophies and buckles.

Well positioned for a shot at a world title, Colter Todd is now looking forward to 2009 when he will be taking a year off the rodeo trail to return home with his family to Marana, Arizona. Colter and Carly Todd have a four-year-old daughter, Madilyn, and a four-month-old son, Colter, Jr.

“The timing is perfect for me to give my horses some time off, spend “off road” time with my family and do some ranching – which I really miss,” explains Colter.

As the crowd watched Todd and de la Cruz make their championship victory lap, Colter spied a young boy in the front row. After pulling his horse to a stop, Colter handed the record making Pink Patron to the tot before riding out of the arena.
