Tips
- Do not crack your whip on hard surfaces, such as concrete, gravel or bitumen roads
- Try to keep your whip clean and dry
- Keep your whip well dressed with a leather dressing like "Dubbin". This should be done on a regular basis
- Always replace your cracker immediately, as cracking without it will cause undue wear on your fall
- The fall will need to be replaced periodically when worn
Whip Safety
Whips are not toys, whips can cause considerable pain and cut flesh. When a whip cracks the tip is traveling at over 1400 feet per second.
When using your whip make sure:
- You have enough room around you
- Other people are at a safe distance
- Children using the whip are under adult supervision
- Wear safety glasses, hat and protective clothing
