Rodeo Video Vault

The historical footage of roping and rodeo events of Rodeo Video, once trapped in VHS and DVD formats, has found new life on Roping.com. In 1985, Reed Flake and his uncle Keith Flake began filming rodeos, building on the legacy of Zoli Vajda’s Rodeo Classics to create Rodeo Video, a key resource for roping enthusiasts. In April 2024, the Flakes transitioned their extensive archive to Roping.com ensuring that both historic and contemporary footage remains accessible. This move allows the next generation of ropers to benefit from instructional videos and legendary event recordings. The platform now features content from iconic competitions like the George Strait Team Roping Classic and the Bob Feist Invitational, making the rich history of roping available to all.
