<snip> For fun, you might try spinning a flat spin in one hand and cracking your whip in the other. -Adam www.winrichwhips.com Fun you say. Sounds dangerous to me! I think I'm going to have to work up to that one. Sounds like patting your head and rubbing you stomach at the same time. :) Chance

Hi All, Thanks very much for your replies. Glad to know I am not a complete freak. :) Adam: The muscle memory idea makes perfect sense to me. It is sort of what Kt Templar was saying, my left doesn't have the same degree of training and so, in this instance, it picks it up quicker as there isn't as ...

Am I a freak? Handedness

Hi All, Ok, I've been practicing away and, I have to say, this is pretty addicting stuff. But one thing about this for me has been very curious. I can juggle passably, and I can do basic rope tricks - flat spin, wedding ring, etc. And when I learned all those things, and it is still true now, I am w...

Do I treat the rest of the whip every time I use it too, or just the fall? Thanks again. Chance Chance, treating the whip every time is not really necessary. Personally, after whipping and putting Pecards on the fall, I have a bit of Pecards on my hands,,,I just swiff my hands all up and down the w...

Hi Chance, welcome to Indy Gear and to whip cracking. That’s a great looking bullwhip! This type of break isn’t all that uncommon, and it happens to all of us at one point or another as the popper pulls and wears just under that knot. It tends to happen more when your if your doing a lot of crackin...

As TR said, Just wipe it down with some sort of leather dressing before and after you crack your whip. If you do this every time you crack your whip you will never have a problem. Just be sure to do it, if you don't it will break. And if you use your whip a lot, its always good to wipe it down with...

Chance, that's no big deal, just untie the remaining on the popper and tie the popper back on the end. Yes this can happen occasionally, nothing out of the ordinary. Your fall DOES look a bit dry, though! Get some pecards or equivalent leather conditioner and put it on the fall before and after whi...

Hi Folks, First post to this forum. I have just discovered whips and I am having a blast .I'm still in the very beginning learning phase. I got a whip on Friday, worked with it for a couple of hours and then went to work with it again on Sat. morning. After just a few attempts this happened: (link t...
