doing well , having a good time , gave out comics at graham crackers comics on free comic book day on may 2nd dressed as indy , and my son as mutt , loving this weather , it means i get to practice with the whip .
I know I need to post some pics up here before I point this out, and I will get some up, but...the look on our faces when we crack the whip is halarious to me! When I do the whip demo in school the kids always crack up at my "super concentrated" face! Its good to see that some others have the same crazy focused look on thier face when cracking!

i think when you crack a bullwhip ---you have to make a face , cause your trying so hard to make it crack that it just tenses up the whole body and that includes the face

Thanks Shane!
I really like the Fort MacArthur photo! Thanks to Mr. Strain's craftsmanship and my wife's camera proficiency for that shot, I really can't believe the camera caught it as clear as it did. We must have taken around 30 continual snap shot sets per routine. I was very pleased how they turned out.
On our way back from Colorado last week, we stopped at some scenic views while going through Utah (Utah is absolutely beautiful to drive through by the way). We snapped a bunch of pictures of Lauren and I cracking whips with the gorgeous view behind us (There was an unimaginable echo from the whips which felt like it went on for 30 seconds or more, it was incredible!):
In the pictures we're both using a pair of Nylon Hybrids. We took some also using my 8 foot Raiders whip, but unfortunately most of those pictures didn't turn out very well. I'm going to go back through them and see if there is at least one that turned out good, and if so I'll post that one up too.
These are pictures, made during a photo session. And with her permission
I post some of these. And - I have to admit that I'm a little bit proud about that
