Whip Cracking Made Easy Part 2

I am trying to decide if this video is worthwhile. Can someone enlighten me as to what cracks are covered in Part 2? If I only care about single-handed cracking (and not target cutting) is this video of any benefit?
Thanks. :whip:

Re: Attaching the cracker, 4 methods. Which one is yours? PO

I tried #2 but the whitehide leather was too thick to tie the knot securely. I then switched to 3a.
Any suggestions on getting the knot tight on method #2?

Re: So what ARE all the shirt options available to me?

Adventurebilt are by far the best currently available in my opinion. Noel Howard/MBA were the best but no longer produced.

For Adventurebilt shirts, contact kim@flugel.dk for more information. They are 69Euros including worldwide shipping.

Re: Wested shirt sizes?

Yes, I agree with Exit. I bought a Wested and then sold it on eBay. It isn't even close to screen accurate. I have two Adventurebilt (AB) shirts and they are very SA!

Re:

Here's another pic showing different Indy bullwhips. ALL are natural tan, but some are new and others are very old, so the change in color is very apparent. Left to right, we have a very early Strain; then another Strain but more modern; third a brand new Strain made last June; an old Morgan from t...

Re: AB shirt

Guys, I tried to order the AB shirt by sending payment via Paypal to kim@flugel.dk However, Paypal says that's not a valid email address because it's not in the corect format: name@domain.com Is there a work around for this? I double-checked and that is the correct email address. It worked for me y...

Michael, what color is that strap?

That pic of you on the balcony could land you a job as Harrison's double in Indy V!

Re: AB Adventure Shirt Sizing

Well today I received my AB shirt. I threw it in the washer (cold water) and dried it for about 10 minutes on low. It's too small :cry: Too small mainly in the chest and shoulders. I thought I ordered the right size, but looks like I'll need to order the next size up, the XXL. If anyone in the U.S....

Re: AB Adventure Shirt Sizing

P.S. The "B" measurement is also odd: 29" for a sleeve length? I wear a 34-35 in all my XL shirts. Something is definitely being lost in translation. I went ahead and ordered an XL with some trepidation. Will give a full report when it arrives. The sleeve length is European (measured...

Re: AB shirt

The AB shirt is great, perfect colour, and details. But the only one problem with them is that the epaulettes sit slighty forward, but a tailor can easily fix that problem. When I ordered my it was a Thursday night, Kim said Friday it shipped, and Monday afternoon it was in my hands (Amazing!). Mar...

He's a great guy to do business with. It took only 5 days to get the shirt (I'm in USA).
