We've built a machine that will challenge even the most accomplished roper. Hot Heels is a machine that can take a hard corner and has a stride length you can get in time with. We knew we had to make this machine affordable, reliable, and stout enough to take countless hours of practice and abuse. It's a tough machine, be a tough competitor."
