Welcome back, friends! In this full-length tutorial I'll be showing you my current method for building a nylon bullwhip, as well as introducing the new materials that I am using to make them. As always, The methods used in this video are what I've found to work best for me, and should not be thought of as the "only way" to make a whip. You may have different methods that work better for you, and that's ok! This tutorial is filmed in a real-time setting, so grab some paracord, a seat at the workbench, and plait along with me!
Below are some links where you can purchase some of the tools and materials that I used in this video. A few of the links are to Amazon, and if used, I receive a small percentage of the sale.
I'm glad you are here, and I hope you enjoy!

I have concerns that every time I watch one of Nicks videos, it is his "latest method"? Simply because he usually tells us that he has replaced one or two of the previous component parts due to a breakdown of some sort. So what Nick is telling us is simple. Don't buy one of his whips until he gets it right!
Interesting viewpoint. I don't ever recall stating that my current method videos are created to address whips "breaking down". Instead they are created to inform fellow whipmakers and clients of my ongoing discoveries within the craft which I believe yield a slightly better build each time.
If someone purchases one of my whips 3 years down the road (assuming that I still make them), they will indeed receive an overall better product. This is due to myself gaining more experience in the whipmaking craft over time, but is this not the same case for everyone in every art/skill/trade? The way I see it, there is a big difference between refining something over time, and "not getting it right". The minute that I proclaim a particular whip build as THE ONE, then I'm not learning anymore. True perfection is never obtainable, but it is certainly pursuable. Even though I am currently happy with my products, I still have so much yet to learn about whipmaking, and I openly admit that. Some people will like my whip building methods, and others will not - and that's OK. Regardless, I still respect your opinion and I thank you for watching.
Humbug. So you made some minor modifications to your whips based on experience. You've inspired me to build a whip and Ive been referring to all 3 current methods as well as your falls and crackers video. Just finished my second belly! Cant wait to crack the final product. Thank you. Keep up the good work.
I guess, man. honestly, the only real important changes he's made are
1) He stopped using electrical tape
2) He started using sinew to bind whips
3) He started waxing all of his whips
Everything else is pretty minor, and those 3 changes GREATLY improved the quality of the whips, everything else is just small incremental updates that don't do that much, but are still cool to see. It's like anything other skill based hobby, there are big things you need to learn, and then after that there are lots of other small things you can change and update over time if you want, you know? And considering he's updating those things all the time, it's really only making the whips better and better. (And as a side note, nylon bullwhips are a relatively new invention, they're still figuring out TONS of stuff all the time, but leather bullwhips have pretty much been made the same for 60 years now. Looking at the procedure for a full leather whip verses a nylon one is CRAZY)
When you switch from 14 plait (under 4 over 4) to 12 plait, ( under 3 over 3 ) doesn’t that create a double overlap?
Sorry, 14 is under 4 over 3.
As I listen to this, it is becoming clearer and clearer: Nick, you've become the Bob Ross of whips. I love your little observations about wildlife and asides about hobbies and stuff. It's all just so friggin wholesome.
looooooooooool, I was about to write the exact same thing!!! XD
He even has the soothing voice down to a t!
I wrote this and read your comment lol
Love the eyebrow raise when you mention "electrical tape" lol
Ikr. That look he made tells me the hell he endured in the comment section due to electric tape.
I made an electric tape 8ft bull whip years ago.
I love watching people who think they know what they're doing try to crack it. They always hit themselves, hand it back to me and say "fuck that" 🤣🤣🤣
You have a Bob Ross type of tone to your voice lol, Bob Ross of whip making!
"We're just gonna make a few happy whips here. Happy little whips."
I thought just the same🍕😆
came here to say this
I scrolled down to comment and say this exact thing hahaha.
jinx
I make my living building acoustic instruments for the last 30 years. I for one, can appreciate Nick's information. I used his first whip making video many years ago and made over a hundred, based on his methods to get my "feet wet". My finished product (I did it for a hobby) was not up to my standards, and took up too much time which I don't have, to enjoy and have fun, with other priorities, so I just stopped making them and did not keep up with this subject. Over 8 years later, now I wanted to make some whips for my grandkids and saw this video. After getting the newer materials he suggested, and whizzed through the BB core, which was like torture and a whole world of waterboarding and frustration prior. With the basics under my belt, and the manner of Nick's explanation of the process has made a world of difference. Instrument making is just like this and everyone does things their own way through repetition and thousands of the same actions you will intuitively gain through subtle, small modifications to get better. Which is rarely shared in the real world when competing with others to put food on the table. When you get to a higher, more professional level, like Nick, you can share all your "secrets" because he knows how to excel and will always be innovative ,intuitive and technically superior.
Bob Ross of whip making.
Truly the Bob Ross of whip making!
This is like bob ross making a whip. so relaxing
Sometimes I wondered about you giving away secrets, but it’s is proof of your innovation and quality! I love my 10’ NWS bullwhip! Thank you
Hello from Canada am 77 and a bow maker saw your video now am going to try and make a whip will start with a 3foot snake whip than a 6 foot your videos are so very easy to follow keep up the great work have a great day 🤟
Bow making myself is what made me appreciate his style of whip making (and cinematic though easy) tutorials that much more 😊
Well I made my first bullwhip by using his tutorial years ago and my whip still works today. These tutorials are very easy to follow, much appreciated, thank you.
I used his original video over 8 yrs ago and the whips I made are still going strong. I have not had time to keep up or make any whips since then, and now all this new products and technical improvements specific to whip making, has made time saving improvements. Needless to say, I will be making a few whips with these new tips and materials. Thank you Nick.
Thank you for posting this! My dad has wanted me to make a whip for him for years now since I made first one years ago, but I did not want to make him like mine which was rather lackluster. I made one to your guide for his birthday and he was thrilled!
I'm blown away with the amount of content that is freely shared by you and other makers, and can't thank you enough! That being said my newest pup chewed my old whip up and I need a new one (I use them to scare Moose out of my yard, very important with 7 dogs!) And have always fancied a snake whip, so off to your next guide!
I literally just finished my stock whip from your other video... I guess I'm about to make a bullwhip too!
Thanks Nick. I am a crafting geek. Never thought I'd want to make a bullwhip. Now I know I can't NOT make a bullwhip. Thank yo u so much for the detail and plenty of reference material for me to use. Excellent job. I'm thoroughly impressed and I'm, going to give as much effort and care as you have done.
i can't express how happy i am that you linked everything in the description. thank you
Thank you so much, with this tutorial i finally made my bullwhip (instead of buyng one thick rope i bought 250 m thin one and 3stand braided it then cutted on size and created beautiful whip) 🤩🤩
Hallelujah! I finally found you!
A HELPFUL whip making tutorial!
Thanks Nick... Much appreciated.
No way I was rewatching all of your vids and thinking of making my 4th whip and then I saw this lets go!
Started this video today and immediately began to relax. Voice is gentle and soothing, I too thought of Bob Ross. Had to look up ASMR, then remembered it. I appreciate the work you do to bring a calm and soothing approach to your videos. I will be watching more. Thank you!
I read one of the previous comments with this guy. Dogging you I'll tell you what I own my own construction company. I'm just doing this for fun on the weekends, but if I stopped learning if I thought I knew everything, I would have been left in the dust ages ago. Things change on the daily basis. People find new and awesome ways of doing things that we never thought of 25 years ago when I started construction. Thank God for the internet and thank God for people giving away their quote" secrets to the rest of us. I'm too old anymore to work as hard as I did when I was 17 and started construction and if I would have been bullheaded and snub-nosed I would have had to stop doing construction years ago because I'd be too goddamn tired and to beat up to continue. Keep up your good work man
Good day, Nick. My name is Dmitry and I'm from Russia. I have long dreamed of making a whip and, thanks to your videos, my dream has come true. Thank you for the high-quality and detailed video. Thank you very much.
Thank you for rekindling my passion for whip making! I'm going to start on a new bullwhip for my dad with this tutorial.
Thanks for all the great videos!!
You're very welcome! Thanks for watching, and enjoy the project with your dad.
Years ago I stumbled upon whip cracking videos which led to how to make a whip which led to your videos. I think the asmr-y voice in your content helps with being able to watch very long videos. I know I don’t have the willpower to watch a high energy 1-3 hour video. It would get too tedious for me personally. I do also consume asmr content but so far I havnt fallen asleep to your tutorials - They’re just super calming. Thank you for all the amazing work.
Thanks for watching, Boa! And thank you for the kind words and feedback. More videos on the way.
I love the quick break with the RC plane. Your tutorials are very chill
You are so generous to share your knowledge. I've learned a lot from you, Nick. Thanks and keep 'em coming.
Thanks for watching Barbara!
I made about a dozen whips several years ago using your first video Nick, I just followed your new tutorial and had forgotten the pleasure I got from listening to you and the therapeutic qualities I enjoyed so much. My latest whip doesn't crack so well, not sure why, feels a bit light for some reason but I don't really care, it looks great on the wall.
I'm going to second Tristan's comment. There is NO DOUBT Nick is channeling Bob Ross's spirit. Now if Nick starts to paint portraits of whips ooooohhhhhh boy, I just got goosebumps!
Ok your tutorials are perfect. I will be starting my first whip very soon. Thank you for the info
Nick you are the "Bob Ross" of whip-making. And in my opinion , that is the highest of praises. Continue making those "happy little whips" and showing us how too as well , you kick ass sir!
I did not see the other Bob Ross comments. Apologies. But nonetheless true
Nick, your videos are amazing. I've watched all of your bullwhip tutorials and most of the other videos you've made.
I finally took the plunge and started making whips from this tutorial (6 actually) they are going to be Christmas presents for family members this year.
Keep doing what you do. I can't wait for you to do more tutorials.
Also, you're the Bob Ross of whip making... Happy little whip happy happy happy... Fill it with BB's, happy little BB's.
I just wanna say thank you for making your videos. I’m currently attempting to make a 15 or around 15 ft whip using this technique for the colour design. I have a depression issue and sometimes I don’t want to get up in the morning, but one day I watched a video where you were in your garage making a whip and I attempted my own. I don’t wax them cause I don’t have the equipment, but I’m currently working on my 3rd one. The 4 ft didn’t turn out great, but works. The 10ft one turned out pretty good. The handle size is way better, the colour is better and it sounds and looks great. I just want to say thank you for the chill vibes and helping me keep my mind calm. Keep calm and whip on.
The camera set up you're using illustrates the methods you use much better than other tutorials I've seen. Excellent work. Thanks for all you do to educate and keep us all informed on new materials. Many improved outcomes since a few years ago when I became interested in this, for me anyway, hobby. I would love to see a video illustrating the many different patterns you've come across because there are so many out there.
I like the Bob Ross comment spot on...Great videos stumbled on to this due to a broken foot and covid-19..Looks like I got another new hobby and skillset. I found that an arrow makes a great bb funnel tube..Everyday you dont learn something is a day wasted...Keep up the great work and constant tweaks and improvements...
I've always wanted a whip. When I was a kid I tried making them, unsuccessfully. Thanks to your tutorials it took me just 1 month to go from crappy non cracking whip to whips that I could easily sell if I wanted to. Fully functional sturdy whips that easily crack and won't disintegrate.
I actually switched to 5mm spring steel rods before watching this vid.
Hyped to see you did the same.
I experimented with some different materials for the core. I tried steel cable instead of bb's. Actually works well, but you really have to be careful not to cause kinks in the cable. Does wonders for the stiffness. I also tried shrink wrap instead of sinker cord + electric tape. But I think that it will disintegrate either by age or fatigue. So I'm trying different types of cord.
Right now I'm using paracord 1250. Because the bb's fit easily and it slides on the end of the spring steel rod easily.
I have yet to find a local dealer for artificial sinew though. Not much of that stuff around in Europe. I have to import it from the US or UK. Unless someone can point me to a store located in The Netherlands or somewhere close.
Excellent video and great to follow along with! I had a hard time with that heel knot, but I have now made my first whip! Subscriber earned!
This video is extraordinary. The Bob Ross of whip making. He’s got that magic voice; hypnotizing. Doing the video at night is so wonderful.
Thank you!!
I was literally wondering about this just a couple days ago. I guess I’ll be headed to the store soon.
First whip I waxed I turned it to 200 degrees I hadn't listened to the Fahrenheit bit, hum never cracked properly as a lot of the paracord had fused solid. Lesson learned.
Thanks for all the tutorials Nick I have really enjoyed making a number of whips. God bless
You are like the Bob Ross of whip making!! Love your videos.
Absolutely giggling seeing the little smirk because of the "cheat code" you've demonstrated at 9:26. Love the little tricks and stuff you've got for everything. You're an inspiration, Nick. 🤘
love the method updates as well, i guess i'll be watching and plaiting with you when my day arrives, whichever newest method you come up with \m/ these colors look awesome!!
My new favourite video on youtube!!! I can't wait to make my own bullwhip
I enjoy the ASMR quality, I also love the whipmaking, and have followed your tutorials to make my own. But for the most part, your calming personality is infectious
Thanks for watching, Adam! And thanks for the feedback.
Been listening to this video while sleeping. Very soothing :)
I feel as though I'm watching the "Bob Ross" of whip making. Very informative and interesting video. I didn't see the other comment almost the same. Glad that there are more that feel the same. "Happy little whips."
Thank you Tom!
You're like the Bob Ross of whip making. What with the tone and timbre of your voice, and method of instruction. Bob Ross was awesome, incidentally. I might just try to make my own whip from this. Good vid, thumbs up!!
I watch because I love the craft, I love learning from you, I love the variations and custom fun things you do, and yes, you are very ASMR. I can just chill at night and watch and let my stress zone out. :) Thank you for your channel and all the things you teach, and the awesome stuff you make! I know this comment is 3 years late, but I had not seen this one before and wanted to catch up. Keep it up! ♥♥♥🦨🦨🦨
Amazing work - so nice of you to share your knowledge with the world :)
9 hours in and on my second break second belly is done and i can no longer feel my wrists great vid ive probably listened to it 3 times already
Man, thanks for putting this up. Watched a bunch of whipmaking videos and always come back to this channel. Using all the stuff I've learned from you and your collaborators, I'm actually working on my SECOND bullwhip as we speak.
Thanks again, Nick!
Yeah I'm at it again. I've made an 8ft electric tape and a 6ft without
Then I made a snake whip. That was fun but I ruined the fall then had to rebuild it.
I'm starting a 6ft with the newest stuff. My fingers are worn out. Hope yours turned out well. I messed my first belly up bad. Will start again tomorrow
I'm also not so against the super glue caliper whips uses on one or two steps. But you have to cut steel again with that method. That's okay I have the tools for it.
Thanks for the video. You have inspired me to make my first bullwhip. God bless
oh my. this video comes at the perfect time. i am currently combing through your other three long bullwhip making videos and compiling a combined methodology off of them. i think this video can safe me so much time. yay!
Dude, I've just gone through this vid once again and I can't get over that look you gave (LMAO) About the elec.tape in the beginning 😀😁😂😅😄😆😥😎.... hella great look!
hey nick. i just finnished making my first bullwhip thru this tutorial. and man it went soo smooth! only a few hickups where i didnt really get what you where doing. so a few rewatches on those parts and i got it. i have not waxed it yet tough, but i can at least make a crack once every 12th time lol. thanks for you awesome tutorials. and man that story telling voice you have need to be in an audio-book!
Hello Nick, with your voice and mannerisms, you are basically the Bob Ross of whip making! Thank you for sharing your methods and time with us! Stay safe!
Thanks for watching, Jarom! Thanks very much for the kind words. More videos on the way!
@@NicksWhipShop I make whips as a hobby and your videos and methods are my main source of learning! Thank you for what you do!
Thank you very much nick! For this new video...i learn from my mistake before....thanks from borneo 😊👍
I very rarely comment on videos. Since I feel like it is a word within an entire book.
But *MAN* did I enjoy this video. Seeing all the different ways and steps you used to make the whip, as well as your personality you put into the craft, really enjoyed it. Definetly gonna stick around for more.
Also, the whole process of the making looked kind of tedious but when you cracked the whip and played around with it, that seemed *sooo* worth it!
Really enjoyed the video. Thanks for your work.
Greetings from switzerland 😊
All kidding aside I like innovation and experimentation. Keep up the good work.
Thank you for making a long layover in Phoenix both calming, educational and fun. I’d love to try this but lol get ADHD so bad sometimes. Still, it’s awesome to see how my nylon whips are made and hopefully one of these days I can make one myself. :)
You're very welcome! Thanks for watching, and many more videos to come!
In case you were unaware Bernie's loop is also used in fly tying and is literally called a "whip finish". Mostly used by new fly tiers before they get all of the typical tools used. Eventually we buy a tool called a "whip finish" in various sizes.
Wow just found one of your videos
Thank you so much for sharing your talent with us
Wow! I enjoy whips but this is first vid on making one I've seen and it is tedious. Excellent work.
I love how complet your tutorials are and I am using it as my guidline while making my first whip.
As for the ASMR aspact: I am a big fan of ASMR and you have an amazingly soothing voice to listen at. you deffinetly could try a ASMR video ;p
I am in the process of completing my 8-ft bull whip from your last tutorial. I wish I had waited just one more week!
same boat here
same here. i'm about a week in and on the second belly right now.
Sorry guys, next one!
peter makes
Yess !
Me too.
I love that I saw this.
I’m on the end of the overlay and I really like how this one is finished.
I’m now confident it’s going to turn out great!
Can’t wait to finish it up now.
This is one of the most beautiful whips that I've ever seen! Great job Nick!!
You are very kind! Thank you!
@@NicksWhipShop you're welcome Nick! keep up the good work!!
“PLAITING!” 😂 you’re inspiring man!
Great video Nick! Your videos are great and its so cool seeing new methods of making whips
Thanks Isaac!!
I have no doubt that an ASMR video wouldn't go down a treat with your subscribers. Although, every whip video you've made kind of qualifies lol. They have certainly helped me keep my sanity, as well as learning to makes whips of course🙂 You're lucky to have a nice frequency and timbre to your voice which induces calm vibes😌. I can see it now, 'Story time with Nick'😴 lol, and you may even help yourself off to the land of nod🤞
I must say thank you for making all the instructional videos! I had intended to purchase a whip off a website but after seeing enough videos of other people making whips I became skeptical of what its construction methods were like. The methods here were super easy to follow (minus the transition knot, but that is a unique beast of its own). I made my own adjustments and incorporated elements in which I think will make my whip better for my own purposes (full contact whip battles) but I really appreciate the thorough explanations of how to build a general whip. If anyone is curious one adjustment was using 1/4" stainless steel tubing for the handle, putting a section of 1/8" aircraft cable coming out for the handle/core transition and then going into the BB loaded core (with my core being much longer). Further whips may experiment with all aircraft cable for the core... Has anyone else played with this by chance?
I use steel tube and run clothes line thru it for my core.
Hi Nick,
The best scissors I've come across to date are Fiskars dressmaking scissors. They are extremely sharp - like a surgical scalpel blade and go through nylon like a hot knife through butter. Watch your fingers though. I cut about 3mm deep into mine just accidentally brushing up against the blade. They will also cut cow hide - not that you're using that any more.
I enjoy your tutorials tremendously young man. I'm impressed with your instructionals. Not only do you tell and show each step, you also tell us WHY you are doing thus and so. I bought a cheap 20 dollar 6 ft. leather whip. Went looking for vids on how to crack a whip. I found them yes, also I stumbled upon How To Make A 6 FT. S ingle Belly Bullwhip With Adam... MEANWHILE
The fall and cracker came off the very first cracking session with $20 whip. Sooo I took it apart and tried to reverse engineer. Naw make one myself with the help of your video. It took months to complete, first time I've EVER attempted something like that. When I was youngER I didn't have the patience. I started over several times because I would miss something or do it wrong. Anyway, I have since completed it and one more, which took maybe 3-5 days couple hours each. Yesterday, you and I made a 3 foot snake whip In around 5 hours. I do believe I have found my perfect hobby. I'm impressed with your instructionals. Not only do you tell and show each step, you also tell us WHY. THANK YOU SO SO MUCH.
Thanks so much for watching, my friend. I'm glad the videos are helpful. I appreciate you sharing your story of how you became interested in whip making. Many more videos to come!
Whips aren’t my jam, but you are like the bob ross of whips. I almost want a whip just because I love your videos! Nice work man!
Nick don't worry about all the negative comments no one was born a whip maker we have to learn as we go and your doing awesome going to try my first whip already got my bb s loaded lol thanks from Ga Boy
Thanks Rodney!!
As always, thank you so much for sharing your method! Keep crackin', amigo.👍
Thanks David!
Good job , 2 days I've been watching videos on bull whips . I'm gonna make one. I have a box full of deer skin .
Great videos nick It's always a treat When you upload a video
Only found your channel yesterday. After looking up some paracord knots and braids for a bracelet that I wanted to fix... then came across the bob ross of whip making..it got me excited. Ordered everything, hoping to make a whip in this style soon.
Thanks Steve! I hope it goes well!
@@NicksWhipShop Thanks! it did. Made 3 whips so far and learning slowly. 3rd one is definitely the best. I didn't wax any though. As I don't really have a good way of doing that yet. Maybe one day
Brilliant video Nick, stunning bullwhip too.
Many thanks!
I hadn't done a transition knot until the whip I made along with this video, and when he mentioned that it was a 5x4 turk's head, I experiemented with a different method: I tied the turk's head on the end of a dowel I had just as I would for a heel knot, but more loosely, then I slipped it on the whip and tightened it down. This made it a lot easier for me because I could keep track of the square on the top while tying the turk's head
This is almost ASMR! New sub right here! Lol
Thank You for sharing your knowledge!
Thanks for watching! Glad it was helpful.
Is no one else going to mention those plane flying skills!? Lol. Great video Bro!
Thanks Bro!
R U a pilot???
@@lynndixon5278 I'm not but he is
Awesome video! You were wondering about the people who will be watching this and talking about the pandemic-as I watch this I'm actually recovering from a mild case of Covid, and your videos have been keeping me entertained for the last several days! So thank you for your videos, I hope when I'm allowed to end my quarantine in a few days I can go out and get supplies to start doing some whip making.
Edit: I have to add-this is making me super excited for Spring and Summer. I went through a serious insect phase when I was younger, too.
Thank you for watching, Andy! I'm glad the video was helpful.
I'm currently working on my very first two whips, based on several of Nick's videos. I bought the materials a while ago, based on an earlier video, so there is some electrical tape in there; however, I hadn't yet done the binding on the second belly of the second whip, so I decided to make as best I could of the situation, and pick up some hockey tape for the remainder.
Me at sporting goods store:
"This is in the hockey section, and it's tape, and it looks fabricky, but it's called 'hockey stick tape'; is this the right stuff?"
*lifts mask, sniffs tape*
"....It is."
I did the same exact thing😂
Just watched your most popular video(from 7 years ago) this morning. It was great! Even better, the next couple videos I watch are more awesome and show a ton of filming/editing progress. Congrats bud, you gained a new person interested in the craft and a sub!
Thanks so much!
wow man, I'm not even through yet, but at 55:00 you already adressed and solved so many issues that I was pondering and hesitating about for a while now. a new build seems inevitable to me. snake whip this time, though, haven't done one so far.
Just starting to follow the very first bullwhip tutorial, so I can compare the changes and hopefully learn a bit more than just following the latest.... it'll take a while to catch up to this new one, especially as my hands are like claws this morning cos they're not used to it :) Artificial sinew a bit more tricky to source here in the UK, but I think I'll take the hit and import some as it looks like it makes a big difference. Thanks Nick - appreciate the work!
You are very welcome! Thanks for watching, and good luck!
Great video, as always! :) About belly lengths (and fall/cracker lengths) I‘d also recommend Alex Jacob‘s (Cobra Whips) bull whip making video series, he goes into great detail on how he calculates layer and part lengths and I‘ve had great results using these methods :)
Im getting Christmas vibes!!!
awesome, cant wait to get mine and start whipping again
You bet, Lee!
Excellent & Informative as usual......& thot surely before it was all said & done You would have somehow, anywhere You wanted to, had braided a happy little tree too.... ✌😎
When COVID is over will you come to my house and tell me about whip making as I go to sleep. You have a very relaxing voice that I could just listen to all day. LOL. I am going to be making me a whip from paracord and was searching for tutorial videos and yours is the best.
Just found your videos (subscribed) love making things, and you are like the Bob Ross of whip Making @NicksWhipShop
Hey Nick, i really like your Tutorials. They helped me to create some great whips! Thank you for your work. Maybe you can do a video how to build a performance hybrid whip?
Greetings from Germany!
I from Russia,thank you.You very much to help me my Brother.
Ееееее, Рос-си-я! Рос-си-я!
Он сделал 6-футовый кнут, я правильно понял?
You are very welcome, thank you for watching!
Да, вы построили это правильно! 😀
What would i do without your help.I don't know.. Thank you for your answer.
I've been a fan and made several whips with your tutorials. My first whip broke due to electric tape and whips anyone that thinks they know how to crack a whip. That's hilarious. Now when you get into new steps I wish you would let people know more than an inch before a new technique. I haven't made a whip in a few years and just cut the first belly off of my core. I know you have a whip repair guide but an unplaiting guide would be great. I had to unplait a few inches and messed up bad. I couldn't fix what I had done.
I had watched your videos since 12. I didn't understand nothin back then.
Now I..., I somewhat do.
