In roller derby, a whip is an assist technique wherein one skater uses another skater’s momentum to propel herself. For example, a jammer may grab a blocker’s arm, and the blocker will use her power and momentum to pull the jammer forward.

The cracking sound that a single tail whip makes comes from the mini sonic boom that's created by the Arc traveling along the length of the whip. The whip's pop is a result of the tip of the whip moving beyond the speed of sound and creating a vacuum in space. The air rushing back into the vacuum makes the pop sound.
So, a form of sonic reducer.

The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.
There is a pop-up British restaurant called Flogging a Dead Horse that serves horse meat. They are very pro-horse meat, and report that it is a delicious, leaner alternative to beef, with a mild, gamey taste, high in iron and omega-3 fatty acids.
Personally, I think I've had enough.

Today's Whipping, from Hershey, just because that reminded me of chocolate, another thing I love, though not in a brotherly way. Whipping and chocolate ....... mmmmm.
Whips are dangerous, but only if you are careless! You will make mistakes; and you will hit yourself from time to time. As every whip cracker knows, 'ouch' is the sound of learning! But follow these simple guidelines, and you should prevent a minor mis-hap from becoming a major injury. So here is some advice for you: Wear eye protection, even when doing things you are familiar with, even with short whips.
Wear earplugs, especially if you are working indoors.
Wear sensible clothing. Flat soled shoes or trainers, long sleeves and leather trousers (or a long leather skirt) offer the best protection. Jeans are ok, but tight fitting clothing offers little protection as the energy of the impact goes straight through. Many people wear a broad brimmed hat to help protect their ears (and you thought they just wanted to be Indiana Jones). For new maneuvers with long whips, some people even wear crash helmets.
Protect those around you as carefully as you protect yourself. Remember that if you are practicing target work with an assistant, they are much closer to the crack than you. You might think ear protection unnecessary, but they could well disagree! Rigger gloves or similar are good if they are holding targets. Or a length of wide plastic drain pipe from the DIY shop can be worn on the arm; and also provides protection when you are practicing arm wraps. In any case, don't work with an assistant until you are competent.
Give yourself space to the sides and above.
Avoid working where there is loose debris on the ground. Gravel and loose earth can be picked up and cause injury; and will damage your whip.
Stay aware of what's going on around you. Dogs can be attracted to the sound, as can children, and they always seem to approach from behind! Ideally, have someone 'spotting' for you to prevent other people from being hit if they get too close.
If you are practicing with other people, establish a 'danger area' in which safety glasses must be worn at all times.
Don't crack the whip straight at another person. If you make a mistake, even with a short whip, you can break bones. We know people who have done it! Also, if the fall snaps, you're effectively firing a solid leather bullet at your mate - at around the speed of sound.
If you want to enter the danger area, warn the people already in there that you are coming - it's your fault if you get hit!
Get good at the basics before moving on.
Store your whip away from the kids.
Anything you lose from being honest You never really had to begin with.
Sometimes it's not the song that makes you emotional it's the people and things that come to your mind when you hear it.

He was a badass Whip indeed. (Love House of Cards)
There will be a test after. Those who do not pass will be disciplined.
Oh todos tenemos cicatrices.
Oh, yo soy como tú , que ya hemos tenido suficiente.
I was going to post a lyric from Whipping but my buzzed ass looked up shipping instead.

Whipping in Philly. Because in a week's time, there's going to be plenty of whipping in Philly again.
Thank you, often, for delectation - this hedonist embraces it.
Personally, I think I've had enough.
In fact, this is the most languid Whipping I've ever seen. Taking it a little easy can be good, though.

Further facts: A pocket snake is a whip with a small butt that rolls up small enough to be carried in a pocket.
