The 10/10 Challenge
Thanks Ron. Thanks Sir Roger.
Well, this would have been my day 10 Circus Crack video and notes but I dare not put my whip in the sludge that is my practice area. There is large storm system moving into North Alabama right now that looks promising to bring more rain later and tonight. I thought the park near my house would offer a slightly damp but sludge free area to shoot but it's a bit worse than I had anticipated. As soon as I can I'll get day 10 videoed and posted and afterwards I will begin Day 1 Underhand Crack on the same day. I'm disappointed because it is the first day I have not gotten to practice since getting my whip. Just wanted to stay on schedule with everything so I felt I needed to post regardless.

Well, Got a long enough break in the rain for my practice area to dry out nicely. Sadly, more rain is coming. This will be my first day Underhand Crack video. My form will improve. This is not so great in my book. I was in a lot pain today. On each repetition, once the whip cracked my bad right shoulder was locking up on me and my following through with whip momentum was almost impossible to do correctly. I will work hard on this to get it better and up to standard. It's a very fun crack. I love it! I didn't even hit my phone I was getting about 10" from it. All in all, not real happy with it but it could have been much worse I know. So, I've got a lot of fun practice ahead of me. I really do mean fun! Whips are amazing...

Due to rising costs, dirty deeds are no longer done dirt cheap.

Day 2: Underhand Crack
I warmed up with a 10 min CC session and put in two 15 min UC sessions. Things going well. You can't put a price on focus. I pick a point on my tripod out in front of me and make sure I am back enough not to contact it. That becomes my focus point. The whip and I connect within the Force and the whip follows that with amazing accuracy. Wait a minute... the whip just might be the Force and I am simply following unspoken instructions. Hmm
Planning more practice throughout the day if my shoulder holds up and the rain stays away.
