Whip Practice in the Heat

Whips_7

Today we had whip practice outdoors in a park which was in some ways really great because with my long arms I sometimes hit the ceiling pipes at our practice theater. But it was really hot too and so we ended up cutting it kind of short. There was a new family who came and it was fun watching Dante show their adorable kids how to get their first crack. The first time is pretty exciting I don't care how old you are. They also found out that it's possible to hurt yourself too but they took it really well and I think had a great time. I'm sure we'll see them again.

At one point target girl tina showed Brenda how to crack-wrap a stick, and then her arm (!!) and I HAD to get some of that. After a while I figured it out too and she surprised me by moving a little more to the side and extending her finger. I crack-wrapped her finger on the second try and felt like a god damn superhero. No pics of that 'cause I was doing it, not shooting it.
