Cairo Flash by ME!

Post by McFly »

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hDEKwlWId2k

Here you go! Hollywood1340 - who I just realized is a member here as well - asked me to make a video of this about 5 months ago... and I didn't, so he made one himself, which you all saw here. Then I just found his comment today asking for one, so I went ahead and did it anyway.

You'll notice I don't keep the whip up in the air like he does... I don't mean to *brag,* but just so you know, there IS a difference in how we do it. (I think he does 2 forward cracks, too, after that circus crack, and I just can't see 2 there in the film) Anyway... I'm a bit loquacious, and this holds true in the video as well, but I hope you guys who haven't seen this explained before get some good use out of it, and that you guys who've seen Hollywood's find the differences interesting to watch. I'm really looking forward to comments, so please, please tell me what you think!!

Thanks!!

Shane

Looks spot on to me. If you do that little kick to the left when you do the initial underhand crack, I'd say it's dead on SA Cairo Flash!! haha.

I teach my sequence as a flow drill for multiple cracking, I could care less about SA. But we now have an SA version!!!! I'll update my video info to reflect this.

Thanks!! I know mine's not perfect, but you asked for it (even if you made your own afterwards, because I forgot), and I'm sure others are interested in seeing it.

:lol: :wink: Never! I try and aim right at it when I'm not doing the cracks quickly, but I know my range though. Glad you guys enjoyed it!
