Hello
I promised you a video of my coachman’s crack. Remember I had my first success yesterday and I have never managed to do this crack before.
I put them in here even though the training period is over.
I know I am using too much force when I swing the whip, but now I think the most important thing is to enjoy the crack. Next week I start working on the artistic look. Two things about the videos. I have just uploaded the video with all my attempts, so you can see where I am. I could have chosen to continue trying until I got a better attempt, but I was only doing this for fun.
Second thing. It is fun to see that my left is better than my right. I think it is because I try not using my right arm more than necessary. This was necessary!
The whips are a 6 ft. Night Train from Exowhips (Tyler - and in fact it belongs to Gitte) and the orange one is the 7 ft. whip Tyler donated last year for the dog shelter raffle.
The videos are here:

Thanks Robert and Ron. The Night Train is a wonderful whip. Almost similar to crack as a lightweight roo-whip.
I think one of the reasons, why the Night Train works better is because it is a 6 footer and I usually use a 6 foot whip. I tried with my own 7 ft. Night Train and i did not work very well. That's why I tried the orange one because it has a heavier handle and therefore more energy is transferred out in the thong.
Just my humble theory I am still experimenting with the crack and the whips Thats what I learned at the M&G last year : "It has to be fun"

I watched your videos very closely. And I'm not sure if you're going to like what I have to say about it...
Your coachman's crack is absolutely okay, Flemming Not perfect, but all I could tell you is, that you have to work on the flexibility of your shoulders and n o t to look straight forward, but to raise your head a little bit. That way your back will bend a little backwards and your shoulders can move more freely. Aside of that - nothing to correct, Flemming. You are doing really fine. What you need now is fine tuning. The crack itself works nearly perfect. Thank you for sharing those videos!
