First Cracks of the Season - new skills and new whip!
Posted: Wed Feb 25, 2009 12:13 am
Well, I finally squeezed in a cracking session today. It was cold, but dry.
I was trying to break in my Joe Strain, and I really felt it. That thing is heavy, even at 8'. Switching off with my cowhide IAOB, it was really noticeable. Interesting thing I noticed with cracking. I did better Streets of Cairo cracking with the IAOB, but the standard "lion tamer" and overhead were easier with the Strain.
Anyhow, I'm also proud to say that I can crack two whips at the same time! I predict many a sweaty summer evening this year.
