Next Video (Page 5 of 6)

Sven, your practice video doesn't look bad at all in my opinion (quiet the opposite )!
Your technique is very fluid and a fluid, good techique is the main purpose of this exercise.

All the best

hmmmm...speaking of next videos...

Thanks everyone. I know about the limited space. I'm in the process of building a 6 foot whip. Thank will help.
I'm always looking for other places to practice .

Sven

On the odd occasion i've tried this I seem to mistime bringing down the circus crack when doing it with my opposite hand and the whip ends up in a tangled mess.
I'll be putting in a more sustained effort in the coming days, it's a good exercise

Sorry Jessie I do not understand what you mean exactly.
I'm working on a few different exercises as well as the overhead horizontal in order to catch up and also improve my whip cracking in other areas too.   
Maybe I was laboring under a misapprehension. Is there a problem contributing to the thread?

No worries, I should have quoted your post to save confusion. Apologies for my poor etiquette there

Here my best for the day on this one. My whip is so short, that I have worked on sloving the first part down. Now when I see it on video, I see that the cattleman is too looks hysterically uncontrolled. That is not the "normal standard",so I have to revise on this one.

Thank you Robert. I get a lot of help from the whip and in my case it is mostly a matter of "with or agains the Curve".

If I try to do it the wrong way it don't work

Flemming, thank you for sharing your video!
You are doing way better than me when I joined this challenge, good job!

One of the the many, many good things about this challenge is the we can observe and analyse our whipcracking sessions after we've shoot a video.
Just like you, I was very surpised to see what my practice sessions looked like from a "distant view".

What has helped me to reduce my bad habbit of using too much speed and force was to forget about the crack. Trying to do a technique with just enough force and speed to prevent the thong from falling down and without intendently trying to crack the whip worked wonders for me.

All the best
Ben
