Let me know if you guys find this video helpful, or if there are any other bits of instructional advice you think I should have included in this video.

lol! Fantastic ending! I watched it to see how YOU do that crack, and how similar it is to other well established whipcrackers. I saw some similarities and some differences - neither good nor bad. Excellent work though, and I'm sure it'll do wonders for some of the more inexperienced crackers out there.

Adam I can not express how much your videos help. You make it look so easy, then once on the lawn practicing, it becomes clear the level of your mastery. Please keep the videos coming.

Also I know it would be a long distance for you, but have you considered Royal Faires: The Carolina Renaissance Festival?

I loved the end! Thanks for the quick tutorial, it's really helpful. I wish I could crack with such ease! (time to practice)

Pretty nifty.

But if your whip comes anywhere near my camera at Annie Oakley Days like you have at the end there, I will pick up Gery and bludgeon you to death with him. :D :D :D
