The Tasmanian Cutback from 5/8/2017 to 5/17/2017
The Tasmanian Cutback from 5/8/2017 to 5/17/2017
Ok guys I was wondering what crack or drill we could do for the next challenge subject and it was suggested, and a good one by the way, to do the Tasmanian Cutback.
Now this one seems fairly difficult but so's everything in the beginning.
Here's a video from April Jennifer Choi.

It looks simple but, as we have found out in some of the latest drills, looks can be deceiving.
I have a feeling that this one is going to hurt some in the beginning.
Happy Crackin' Y'all.
Ron

It's ok if you disagree with me.

I've done this crack before. Probably one of my favorites. It's really fun to add into multicrack patterns. That being said, Ron you are right. This one can hurt really bad. I'll post a video very soon.
Now and then we had a hope that if we lived and were good, God would permit us to be pirates.

Sven, both work, and I've done both. I am a heavier set person, and can guarantee that both result in a crack. The one thing is, make sure you keep the handle of the whip angled out a little. By doing it, you don't run as high of a chance of catching yourself with it.

Ron, thank you very much for posting the tutorial videos !!!
I agree with Russell - please go easy on your practice and don't risk re-injuring one of your shoulders !!!
Jesse, I'm looking forward to see your video !!!
I've tryed to do the tasmanian cutback in the past a few times - without any success (I've tryed to do the bend over version).
On todays practice I've tryed to do the streight back version for the first time and it did actually work a couple of times
Although most attempts didn't work out I'm still very happy with the result of my day one practice !!!
I wasn't able to shoot a video of todays practice because of the bad weather conditions (rainy, windy weather) but I'll shoot one as soon as the weather conditions will improve.
My wife told me that I've looked like a young child which has been palying in mud after todays practice - very dirty and very happy
Happy cracking everyone !!!
All the best
Ben

Well, I can for a fact say... it's really difficult. Ofcourse it's still day one.
I managed to make it crack, 1 out of 30 or so
It does feel rewarding when it cracks. It's difficult to get the handle straight behind my back, I'm not very flexible. I was joking about that.
We'll see where it goes from here, at least my wife had a good laugh when the whip hit me for the 20th time.
Jesse, you're right about bringing the handle a bit away from yourself, the whip doesn't hit me that much when doing that. Thanks
