Pre-Requisites
Post-Requisites
How To
- Start by rotating the whip in an outward circle
- Once the whip has passed behind your back flick the whip forward, over your head, to crack in front
- Just like any flick, try to make the nose of the whip travel in a straight line (don't allow it to arc)
This technique may be easiest to learn by taking the overhand crack and slowly changing the plane by leaning your body over and bringing the whip with you. When you have the whip almost level with the ground, straighten your body back up.
