Practice Makes Perfect

So there are a few new cracks that I am trying to learn presently. The first is called the "Victorian Cut Back" and I just learned of it's existence two hours ago. Naturally, I am now determined to learn it. It's an interesting crack where you rotate the whip in a counter-clockwise fashion and then, once you have the whip  in front of you, you switch the directions causing it to crack by your elbow. It looks interesting and I am very excited to start working on it. Videos of that progress to come.

The second crack, or rather "Crack sequence" I should say, if called "The Four Corners".  Here is a video of my first practice session of it: 

If I were doing it perfectly, you'd hear four crack total, one in each corner as the name would suggest. It's a difficult one but I think, like anything, with time I will get the knack for it.  I really would love to get to the point where I can do it with both of my stock whips in a staggered manner, although I have heard that this is considered very difficult. No matter! I am up for the challenge!

That's all for now!

Until Next Time,
