 The
storied life of one of the greatest professional rodeo athletes in history, Roy
Cooper, is captured on film in a new DVD titled "Roping My Dreams" released
during this year’s National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas. Footage in “Roping My
Dreams” follows Cooper – the first cowboy ever to earn $2 million – along the
glory days of the rodeo circuit during which he forged a fast friendship with
country music giant George Strait. In addition to Strait, rodeo celebrities
recalling Cooper anecdotes include four-time world all-around champion Trevor
Brazile, legendary rodeo announcer Bob Tallman, roper and former Dallas Cowboy
fullback Walt Garrison and six-time world all-around champion Larry Mahan, as
well as Cooper's parents and three sons and many other rodeo peers.
Cooper began his career as the 1976 Rookie of the Year and was inducted into
the ProRodeo Hall of Fame just three years later. Throughout three decades, he
broke every roping record in the books, claiming eight world titles in calf
roping, steer roping and all-around categories, and joining an elite group of
athletes who’ve won the 10-head championship at the NFR in two different
events.
