Wrapping and Grabbing a water bottle

Above is a trick I've been working on the past few weeks. I recall seeing a video where Clark Bynum did a trick similar to this, so I thought I'd start working on it.

Very Cool Trick! Looks like a nylon cow whip. Did you pull that off with a nylon fall? I've always heard its harder to wrap with nylon rather than a leather fall.

You heard correctly. Leather grips SO much better than nylon.Holmes wrote:Very Cool Trick! Looks like a nylon cow whip. Did you pull that off with a nylon fall? I've always heard its harder to wrap with nylon rather than a leather fall.

You will have transcended from "mortal" to "EPIC" if you learn how to pull that off....Hollowpond wrote:Need to perfect that trick...then measure distance from couch to beer in fridge. THATS the length whip I need

Excellent. Next video do it while escaping a stone door just like indy haha.
Re: Wrapping and Grabbing a water bottle
That was a choreographed combat demo. He did wrap the sword, but the energy that propelled it to his hand was the other performer throwing it to him.riku1914 wrote:Hollowpond wrote:News to perfect that trick...then measure distance from couch to beer in fridge. THATS the length whip I need

Not saying it's not impressive, just that it's ENGINEERED to look more impressive and dangerous than it actually is. DeLongis is a stunt actor and coordinator. That's his job, and he does it well.

Very cool trick!
Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a date with a water bottle and whip.
Wow...that didn't sound right...

What's fun to do is throw a bottle up and try and crack it in half ( it needs water in it ).
I've done this two times and it's cool, the water looks like an explosion for a second

Re: Wrapping and Grabbing a water bottle
I've been practicing my targeting on the purple maple tree in my parents yard.
Leaves make wonderful targets, though my father comes out and asks me if I could whip them BACK onto the tree
I tried some moving targets last weekend, and I was either over the thrown object or below it.

When you throw something up, try to hit it at it's peak when it's barely moving. It's easier and still looks impressiveLukes Roommate wrote:I've been practicing my targeting on the purple maple tree in my parents yard.
