Learning the ropes

I'm four classes into a six-class series on learning how to do rope suspensions -- it's been awesome. As I continue exploring Things To Do With Rope Besides Walk On It, I came across an online resource on trick roping that seems pretty informative -- The Lasso: A Rational Guide to Trick Roping. I've got a lot of projects in the works right now, but as I find time I'm reading through it, and I've got a lasso on the way to play around with. Of course, different kinds of rope lend themselves to trick roping vs. suspension vs. slack rope walking, but even so I figure there could be some interesting ways to combine these skills.

I have fond memories of seeing Rob Petres' Rope back when I was in Moment of Flight...
