Team Roping Like You’ve Never Seen It

Every high. Every low. Every moment behind the scenes.

This is the story of those who give everything just to play the game.

The Documentary Team Roping Has Been Waiting For

AVAILABLE TO WATCH WHEREVER YOU ARE

Team roping fans have never had this. No documentary. No all-access series. No front-row seat to what it really takes.

Until now.

NO GUARANTEE follows four professional team ropers through every moment of the 2024 PRCA season. From 5 AM practice pens to the bright lights of championship arenas. From setbacks that break hearts to runs that change everything.

This isn’t highlight reels. This isn’t edited for TV. This is the real story—raw, authentic, and unfiltered.

Two teams. One season. Six episodes. All free to watch.

WATCH NOW

Six Episodes. One Season. No Guarantee.

World Champions at Work

Tyler Wade & Wesley Thorp—chasing back-to-back world titles. See the partnership that “just flows” and the pressure of defending a championship.

The Mentor & The Dream

Patrick Smith—the veteran who was almost retired. Tanner Tomlinson—who grew up roping goats, pretending to be Patrick. One text message changed everything: “We will be at the NFR this year.”

Real Stakes, Real Pressure

Entry fees. Travel costs. Injuries. Missed runs. The financial reality of professional rodeo that nobody talks about.

5 AM in the Practice Pen

The work that happens before the lights come on. The dedication. The sacrifice. The relentless pursuit of perfection.

The Mental Game

“There’s no guarantee it’s going to go your way. It’s almost a definite guarantee that it’s NOT going to go your way at some points. So knowing you have somebody that can get through all that with you… that’s the most important thing.”

Cinematic Storytelling

High-quality footage from rodeos and practice. Personal moments at home. Real emotion. Some humor. Six episodes crafted to keep you hooked from start to finish.

Meet the Ropers

TYLER WADE

“There was never a plan B. We were going to rope, and we were just going to figure the rest out later.”

2024 World Champion Header. Known for his dedication and mental toughness. Tyler’s been consumed with roping since he could walk.

WESLEY THORP

“I’ve been training since I was 3 years old. This is what I’ve worked my whole life for.”

2024 World Champion Heeler. Technically sound and fundamentally tight. Wesley’s partnership with Tyler “just flows”—the styles align perfectly.

PATRICK SMITH

“I told my dad, ‘I want to be a world champion.’ He said, ‘You know how many people say that?’ I said, ‘I do, but it’s going to be me because I’m going to work that hard at it.'”

World Champion. Never rode a horse until he was 16. Patrick’s story proves dedication beats natural talent every time. The mentor who was almost retired before God opened the door again.

TANNER TOMLINSON

“As a kid, I roped goats pretending to be Patrick Smith. To have him calling me wanting to rope… I’m finally getting there.”

Tanner slept with a rope in his bed. He’s been “ate up with it” his whole life. Patrick’s text changed everything: “We will be at the NFR this year. I’m not taking no for an answer.”
