And thank you, Jessie! Another great video - even if it's not as funny as that Swivel Handle Proto-Whip-Master nonsense! :)

Awesome video - Robby, thank you very much for making this tutorial!

I'm about to go outside to practice this new 10/10 excercise. I've never changed hands while I keept the whip flowing so far and I can't wait to try it out :)

Happy cracking everyone!

All the best
Ben

And I failed to say Thank You to Robby for making this new series of splendid videos. I'm slipping! Thank you, Robby!

I didn't do anything but post the link. As hard as that was (my muscles actually started bleeding), it's all Robby you guys. He is the Proto Whip Master©

I have a feeling this is going to be difficult.
We'll see if my left hand will physically allow me to do this.

Thank you Proto-master Robby! No, for real, thank you for the video.

Thia is going to be a tough one. I started training and I've got the feeling I'm doing something wrong. Not sure what though,...

My wife was so kind to hold the camera while filming, and to keep an eye on her new flowers.

Sven, I think that looks pretty good - especially considering your restricted space. Nice and relaxed. :)

Yep, Robert is right. You're doing just fine. The secret is not to use power. Imagine a waterfall.
The water falls. It is not pushed downwards. It flows.

Aaaaahm... But here comes the surprise. The change of hands is only a small part of the next 10/10 Challenge story. Actually it is - as you can see - another WB Tutorial. The first Whip Basics TVS video is uploading right now, while I'm typing. You know - the 10/10 challenge goes for some serious time now. And the routine, I'm uploading should be okay for everybody, who took part in the 10/10 challenge. And of course for all those who did not participate. Because they mastered those cracks already, right? :)

So - tomorrow in the morning (my time) you will find your new exercise! It'll be a nine crack routine. I break it down for you in two parts. First five cracks and in the next video the rest. You don't do it because it's easy - you do it, because it is not! Right? ;)

Thank you Robby and Robert. I think I was a bit too early :)
I thought this was the current 10/10, my fault.
Anyway, it still is a good one to practice right?

A nine crack routine... boy oh boy.
And yes, we participate because it's not easy. If you really want something, you gotta work for it.
Things dont come easy, but the reward is much better, because you worked for it.

I'm excited!

This is just as you say- NOT EASY!
Thank you, Robby, for another very cool video even if it isn't PROTO MASTER COPYRIGHTED...
:D
I had to go back and watch the swivel handle video of yours, too... This is clear and straight forward, but easy it is not. I nesd to practice the crossover again.

Sven, you're not wrong.

You are doing fine. Nice and easy, controlled. Very good.

It's about the flow of natural energy, and you did that nicely.
Very smooth.

Thank you for posting your video.

I thought that this was the new challenge too, but it's still a great exercise drill.
It's also a good warm up to whip cracking as well.

I must admit I got a little tired doing this. But I'm hoping my stamina will improve as the challenges progress.

Thank you Ron. I understand how this exercise can be tiring, it's a singular motion which could go on and on.
It's not a crack-pause-crack kind of thing.
I hope it'll be alright.

It's challenging, I know. But you have all the tools to do it.

Sven, your practice video looks very good - I realy like how you kept the flow going!


Robby, thank you very much for making this new video!
I've followed your advise and practiced more than usual in order to get the hang of changing hands on the crossover and to get the hang of the combo!


The result of todays practice fealt like a step back. Yesterdays practice of the crossover fealt a lot more controlled than today and about the combo: I've been participating while we had the 10 crack combo as an 10/10 challenge excercise - therfore todays practice fealt like a little step back (it shows me how important it is to "revisit" the previous techniques whitch we've covered already).
Here is a small video of todays practice:

Happy cracking everyone!

All the best

My my, Ben. I have to say it looks very smooth. I like the fact you do the combo with both hands.
Seeing your video, I wouldn't say you made a step backwards.
Keep going.

Ben, that's looking nice.
Fluid, looks controlled.
Nice job.

I dig the shorts. You would feel right at home down here, except for the heat. :)

My practice today was a good second day but it's still not as smooth in the transitions as I would like.
Not an excuse, but it was really hot and after the practice I was kind of wore out.
