Bullwhip Cracking: more about the Volley

I made a video about doing the volley a while ago, and many people have learned it. This video gives those of you who have learned the volley more ideas of what can be done with it.

Adam, Great video, you make everything look so easy. It seems that any technique you do is so effortless that the whip seems to crack even when you don't intend for it to. Is it the whip that you use or is it something you can teach. I'm an old man and have been around whips all of my life ( my father was a mule skinner} and still can't master that aspect. Thanks. Harley

@harleynita I think the effortless part comes if someone started with whips as a kid. I started when I was 9.

Hi Adam. I am a big fan of yours, and I think you're probably the best whip cracker out there! I have a question for you: What are your thoughts on nylon bullwhips? I have a 4 foot nylon whip I have learned to use, and was thinking of moving up to a 10 foot one. I am not sure if I should get another nylon, or pay more and get a leather one even though they are a bit out of my price range.

@coyniteSFOR depending on your price range, you could probably get a 10 ft nylon bullwhip that cracks better a 10 ft leather bullwhip. To get a good 10 ft kangaroo leather bullwhip you'd expect to pay around $600 or more.

do you use ear protection when you crack whips?

[AdamCWM]

@SuperWario094 sometimes

Why is tina fey and 30 rocks tagged in this? Also, what kind of whip are you using in this?

[fire168fighter]
