Overhead Backwards

Description

Using the same rotational motion as the Overhead Crack, this might be seen as just a timing variation. Instead of cracking in front of you, this will will crack behind you.

Safety glasses are strongly encouraged when learning this technique. While learning any new whip crack, proper safety equipment is strongly encouraged. This crack can be especially dangerous as the crack will be coming right back towards your face.
