We see far too many guys willing to ride bulls with an old worn out bull rope. Far too often we hear "I didn't know that"....yes, bull ropes wear out and can cause you more harm than good. A worn out handle may be old reliable, however there will come a time when it will actually cause you to hang up against the bull. Spend some time looking at your gear, watch the video and decide if now may be the right time to invest in a new bull rope and give your buddy back his old one....better yet, just hang it on the wall.
