How To Crack an Indiana Jones Bullwhip 

As the UK's number 1 Indiana Jones impersonator, I thank you for your expertise.

Can’t wait till I finally have a Kangaroo hide whip of my own to practice with at some point in time in the near future. Lol

Man, something about that whip crack is just so satisfying to listen to.

Just started looking up whip cracking on a lark, and found that this was a nicely done instructional video. Good job.

Dude, you're the man. Great simple video, with easy to follow instructions. I've been working with two different size whips (6'&8'), trying to find my groove.

Should definitely do more whip cracking videos with your other Indy whips my dude. Lol

This was a great first lesson for me, thanks much! I practiced these and got my first whip crack pretty quickly!

Thanks man I never realy got what people ment by how to Crack a whip but you I actually get thank you and I will try this and again thank you I would like to meet up sometime but I live in the state to the east hope your doing awesome and have a nice day

This explanation makes gives me the confidence to do this. Thank you for awesome info

Thanks for the amazing video! Can't wait to finally get my hands on a whip. Been an Indy fan since I was 8 and thanks to you I'm learning a lot about the gear now!

Thank you!Great video, easy to follow instructions to get the basics down.

Awesome dude! This really helped me!🎉

This guy is wholesome af

Good instruction! With the weather, the way it is, I should start practising again

Nice addition to your videos look forward to future ones.

Ya boy is attempting to learn the art of the crack!! You make it look so simple! Haha I’ll have to incorporate your pointers in my next sesh. Too bad it’s like 120 outside here in AZ 😂🤠

Another tip too is timing especially with the overhead. Shorter whips require less "turnback" time. I instantly change direction on my 6ft bullwhip for an overhead but for my 10ft it takes a good second or so before I need to change direction to get a solid crack

Kirk, this was *awesome*. (And immensely appreciated.) I'd definitely be down for more of these! 🔥

Great video.

Who do I have to kill to have a hat as nice as yours!? lol 😂 one of the best looking Indy hats I have seen! You also do look natural in that hat!

This definitely helped me a lot. thanks.

After watching this video am really interested on getting a bullwip now.

Very nice, man! Explained very well and I wish I had your video while I was learning. Finally getting the overhead crack down made it a blast, and you certainly can blow out everyone’s ear drums with it.

Excellent detailed video. Thank you very much for your time and help.

Put this video to use while learning to crack my cheap whip and got results in minutes. Now to buy a good nylon whip!

Thank you man, I've already hit myself several times, I'll start the basics

i finished my first whip two days ago, and through several good tutorials i have peformed about 50 cattleman's, and less than 10 overhead. your tutorial does add significant emphasis to nuance and will prove to be helpful with reversals. thanks for your help, and for your style. it would be great to attend a meetup. is there a way i can learn where and when they are?

This was great to see. I do Indiana Jones cosplay, learning this is i was always petrified of hitting myself in the face. Is that just me? 😂

Waiting on my swordguybuilds TOD whip , awesome video like always brother

Nice...this is helpful.

Man, this video was great! Thanks for the tips!

Thank you!

Great tutorial and good job on explaining the timing!

Great stuff Kirk! Thank you!

Just discovered your channel though I've seen you for years on the Facebook page and COW. Thanks for this. I need to film myself. For some reason, I can do the overhead crack no problem with my 10' Joe Strain, but I STILL have trouble wiht the Cattleman's crack. Going to go outside now and try again... maybe get the wife to film me so I can spot what

Thank you

Thank you man! I love the video! I just am starting to do Indiana jones cosplaying and whip cracking and this really helps me! Do you have any advice on joining Colorado jones? Keep up the awesome content!

Could you put Links in the discretion to what website you bought your whips at please?

7:15 unlike that passenger jet, the bullwhip is actually supersonic

Is it actually possible to swing from things with the whip like in the Indiana jones films? Like when in Temple of Doom Indy swings to get to the big statue

This is called the neutral wrist motion of the forearm.

I keep bullwhipping my head when i practice the overhead crack. I have an 8 footer. Any advice cowboys and archeologists?

the last point was really important hahaha. Also, you dont want to crack the whip in a park with a lot of people, most of the people are okay with it, but theres always a crazy person that will think that you are whipping people and stuff and they most likely call the cops on you ( experiences from the past.... ) Trying to avoid dogs is important, a dog try to attack me one time when i literally was on the same spot for 3 hours and the owner and the dog showed up ( and ofc the owner was a PS about it ). So trying to avoid people is the best heheh

About how long does it take to break in a whip to really begin attempting to crack?

Can we please call you Birk Krackmann

It was outstanding to learn how to crack a bullwhip from this video, but I'm a little curious. Where did you get your hands on those replica whips? I would like to get one. I've been a fan and inspired by Indiana Jones since I was a little kid.

I have 2 whips made by Whip Man Jack from New Zealand. Kangaroo made. Top Quality. Has anyone had a problem with cracking your whip which can sound like a rifle shot, and law enforcement responding to the sound of gun "violence" shots?

noice! where can i buy one?

What size is you whip?

Tremendous

Where did you get the hat? That looks like a good one!

Where did you get your hat?? I want it!

Where did you purchase that hat?

Dads belt be like 😂😂😂😂

The cops lol

What is that in the sky behind u that's not a plane
