Thanks riku! I been working on some new cracks, and one of them is the tazmainan cutback. i am looking at videos on line, but Hardly any on that crack. I have enjoyed darens videos, and learned alot from him. mabe he could make a video on that crack. I think it's easier to learn from someone that is using the same style bullwhip.

One thing that really helped me learn that crack was I got ahold of a whip with a long handle. It made it a lot easier to learn the tasmanian cutback, then I was immediately able to translate it to use on the shorter handled bullwhips. Learning it on the shorter handled whips though was definitely not working for me though.

How come the two knobs on the whip are so much darker then the rest of it?

Has to do with screen accuracy.
