WITD 301.47 A Whip Top Getting Ready for a BDSM Event13 viewsAn inside view of a whip top getting ready for a BDSM event. A strategy for managing crackers, not sharing crackers between whip bottoms, preserving crackers for the next scene with a whip bottom. And using new crackers on a whip bottom the first time you play with them. How many crackers do you need for an event? If you throw a snake and a couple of bullwhips, then perhaps 3 crackers per scene. If you throw two handed matched sets then double that. At WoW last year I threw 17 whip scenes in 4 days, do the math. This year I'm throwing matched sets, how many crackers do I need?Apr 30, 2024

WITD 301.46 Grips - Different Ways of Holding Your Whip Part 110 viewsThis would seem like a beginner's topic but there is a "classic" ball/socket hand shake grip that I teach in beginning dungeon whips. All of the other whip grip variations I consider part of the intermediate to advanced whip conversation.Apr 21, 2024

WITD 301.46 Grips - Different Ways of Holding Your Whip Part 29 viewsDiscussion of index finger point grip and thumb push grip correlated to specific styles of throwing. Limitations of range of motion using both grips make one adaptable for horizontal technique but limited range of motion for overhand technique. While the opposite is true for the other grip. Watch and find out the details.Apr 21, 2024

WITD 301.44 Tuning a Bullwhip30 viewsRecently Blake Gorey at Smokey Mountain Whips made me a beautiful well made naturally loaded 2 belly 4' bullwhip. Beautiful work, but I noticed after throwing in rhythm to one song it was tiring my wrist out and almost cramping my forearm. A light weight 2 belly whip should not do that. I checked the balance point and it was 2" past the pineapple knot up the thong. It should be at or very close to the pineapple knot. Peter Jack, my whipmaker, said this was what was tiring my arm out so quickly. I was having to work harder to achieve the rollout I wanted and that he could tune the whip. So off to NZ this whip went. Jack took apart the turk's head, burnished the end of the handle, added a 2 oz lead counterweight, and re-tied the Turk's head. This counterweight shifted the balance point of the whip back to exactly the pineapple knot. The whip is now tuned and I can throw it in the dungeon for many years.Sep 24, 2023

WITD 301.42 Practicing for Contact Play with a 6ft Bullwhip14 viewsA 6' bullwhip is ~8-9' total length. Most dungeons cannot accommodate a whip this long. Few whip bottoms can handle the intensity of a bullwhip with this much potential power. Few whip masters are skilled enough to feather a 6' then slowly ramp it up. Few opportunities occur when all of the stars align and a venue, masochist whip bottom, skilled whip thrower and time and space allow such an occurrence. Having said all of that practice with a 6' bullwhip is essential if ever one wants to chance this type of star alignment. So here is a 6' Bill Nones natural belly bullwhip, and a 6' Peter Jack target shot loaded bullwhip in action.Jul 27, 2023

WITD 301.41 Smokey Mountain Bullwhip in Action11 viewsBlake Gorey recently at SMW made me a 4' 16 plait naturally loaded 2 belly bullwhip. Here it is in action after an unboxing and only throwing it for one scene at the Woodshed Orlando. Even though it is not broken in yet, it has good action both forehand and backhand and is very accurate. The whip will only improve as it is broken in.Jul 22, 2023

WITD 301.39 Safety for Whip Round Robins15 viewsMultiple whip throwers, a single or multiple whip bottom, all throwing 360 degrees around a whip catcher. Different experience for both the throwers and bottom receiving multiple whips simultaneously. Throwing styles can clash resulting in a whip getting tangled or deflected. Whip catchers should all be wearing eye protection whether a leather blindfold or safety goggles. Two whip thrower round robins the throwers stay opposite of each other. Three whip throwers each have about 120 degrees of the circle to work in, 4 whip throwers have about 1/4 of the pie. I do not recommend round robins with more than 4 whip throwers. All should be skilled enough that the bottom agrees to stand for them individually.Jul 20, 2023
