why jones never had a long beard.
Well, as you may know I got my 10 foot Stenhouse yesterday, well I was playing around with my new roo and snapped a few cracks which were very nice by the way then as I let loose with a last crack and OUCH! The popper tangled in my beard and felt as if it ripped my chin off!!!!.
Darn good thing I was wearing my goggles. LOL.
So for all of those crack heads out there with beards BEWARE!!! Now the question is aside from shaving any ideas on how to keep my face attached when cracking? Please, lots of input from everyone ..

Ah the joy of telling those great whip cracking accident stories. I have had a few myself, told them over and over. Just remember practice makes perfect and with summer coming up we can all get back to doing just that. There's nothing like whip cracking on a hot summers day to get the old blood flowing again. I will be out there, panama on my head, some jazz on, cigar burning, and giving the old whip a few hundred cracks.

Just wondering which crack you were trying to do. Maybe that one should not be in your arsenal of whip cracks for a while. <chuckle>
Another thought - maybe you could shave the beard down a bit.
Seriously tho' just keep practicing and don't do that last "goin' in the house so this is the baddest crack ever" crack. That's when I've found I do the most damage to myself, the cracker goes flyin' and the whip usually gets tangled on something.
Keep 'em crackin'
