Rudimentary Videos of Basic Cracks
Posted: Sat Oct 02, 2004 11:04 pm
Here are some videos of some of the basic cracks that can be done with a whip. I am by no means an expert, and therefore I don't have the best form in the world.
All credit for me learning these cracks goes to Paul Stenhouse, and his EXCELLENT video, Whip Handling and Maintenance. I highly recommend it.
It can be bought here: http://www.stenhousewhips.com/maintVideo.html
All of these videos are in .wmv format. They should work with Windows Media Player. I'm sorry for you linux/mac guys, but I don't have a divx version available. The average file size for each video is 800kb. These are hosted on my own server space, and there is NO WAY possible for it to use up COW's bandwidth. Download away, as I have unlimited bandwidth.
The Forward (aka Circus) Crack:

The Forward Crack into a Reverse Circus Crack (aka The Figure 8, if I'm not mistaken). I can do this practically indefinitely.

All 5 Cracks strung together. Horizontal into Reverse Horizontal into Underhand into Figure 8 (Forward into Reverse Forward)

I hope this helps you guys visualize how to do these cracks. Again, these are NO SUBSTIUTE for Paul's video/DVD. It is the ULTIMATE resource for leaning not only how to crack, but also how to maintain your whip for its entire life.
