Thanks guys. The change hands crossover in particular took a lot of practice for me before it started feeling right. Bearing in mind there's always room for continual improvement, I feel like I learned a lot from this exercise.
Flemming, I agree. I've been reading Ron Edwards book on how to make whips and in one section it refers to whip cracking and how it is not the kind of thing that can be taught with pictures. You just have to practice.
However I've found these challenge threads and everyone's contributions including yours motivating and beneficial. Thank you for that everyone and thank you Robby for making the exercise.
Enjoy your Sunday and keep crackin'!

I was out so i tryed this after too long time.
Bit too windy for a whip this light.
My right hand has gotten really dumb.
Stockwhips are not for me, i have to feel it roll.

Who can do volleys? I am trying to do them with 2 whips. I just get going and the whip will kind of wrap around my arm. I try to conciously make a point to tilt the handle to the outside of my hand grip, but for some reason I'm still getting the wrap around?
Due to rising costs, dirty deeds are no longer done dirt cheap.

Funny you should mention volleys, I was trying them yesterday with my bullwhip.
I still find it hard to maintain a consistent rhythm and they seem to peter out after about 4-5 cracks. To be honest I haven't really concentrated on them yet.
Nice work in your videos Jyri! I share your sentiment about stock whips. I find them harder to handle too. I'm trying to resist the urge to just return to my bullwhip and stick with figuring out the intricacy.
