Jessie, that last practise session sounds seriously impressive - and seriously fun! 

Scott, practicing in wind can be challenging but it's also a good training tool.
If you can keep your form and accuracy in wind it shows how well you can adapt when throwing. It also makes calmer days seem a lot easier.
Good job.

Ron

OKay, so here's the thing.  Yesterday I was smacking myself up pretty good.  Partly, I think, because the wind was blowing pretty hard, but today I think I figured out a trick.  When you normally underhand flick, you keep it at an even plane directly at your side.  During this exercise, kind of flick it directly in front of you.  As the thong comes up, grab it with your other hand and bring it down.  you have less inches to move it from side to side, which I think kind of screws up the cracking plane  and makes the thong want to wrap up on your arm as you bring it down into the cattleman's crack.  I don't think it's exactly wrong, but with the wind still blowing it helped.

I'm going to give that a try. Thanks!

Thanks for the tip Jessie.

I'm feeling much better today and will start practicing.

Sven

There's some weird coloring going on in the video, it's not a bad trip.
Sorry

Thank you Ron

Jessie, thank you for sharing that trick!

Sven, your practice looks very good!
You seem to have gotten the hang of the right moment for the swivel (your session looks very fluid) - good job!

So far I've only been practicing this exercise with a mini bullwhip while beeing seated on a chair My appartment doesn't have high ceilings, therfore I can only practice while sitting down. I'm not used to using smaller bullwhips nore have I ever tryed to crack a whip while beeing seated, but it's better than not practicing at all.

All the best

Thanks Ron!

It fealt kind of wierd to crack a whip while beeing seated at first but it works and I'm getting more and more used to it.

All the best
