The cattleman's crack
I know we did this one in the beginning, but this is for our newbie Paul, who is just starting to learn. It's cold outside, I'm a snowman.
Paul. Do not lean forward when you crack. Keep your body straight and relaxed. Go slow. do the crack and orient yourself, hen do the crack again. Follow through so your whip is in he position to do the crack again.

Here is my first video. I post it here as it is hard to find the original posts about it.

I tryed to go as lightly as i could. It was quite windy so my cellphone turned at the end.

Jyri, it looks very good.
You are nice and relaxed.
Your new whip cracks easily.
I would suggest to slow down between cracks.
Take some time between cracks and don't rush it.
But if you were cold I certainly understand wanting to hurry and get out of the cold.
Nicely done.

It's ok if you disagree with me.

I couldn't take video today as it is rainy, dark and cold.
What was the order of the cracks in this challence? Cattlemans, underhand flick and side arm flick?
I have read the original thread quite long now but in some points i just couldt follow.
I may be able to do video tomorrow and maybe i could do some of the cracks i think i know to how to do and get some pointers there?

Here is couple of videos i took before i leaved to birthday party. It was really hard to get that peacefull feeling as i got home from work and grabbed my whip.
It seems to be hard to keep the small break between craks and to do just on crack.

Second video was cutted short as my hardrive space run out. I hope i get better chance tomorrow.

It's a good, smooth, relaxed throw.
The only observation I made was that the whip handle is slightly pointing towards the outside with the cattleman's crack.
I have to remind myself to keep the handle straight up and down vertically before bring it forward and down to finish the crack. (keeping it inline with the vertical plane of the thong)
Very nice job Jyri.

As Ron says, Jyri, this is a good, smooth and relaxed action. But he's right about the handle pointing slightly 'away'. Try always to keep the plane of the crack flat against the imaginary clock face (whichever angle the clock face might be tilted).... And I see you've taken your other hand out of your pocket! Much less 'wooden'!
