Australian National Whip Cracking Championships 2012

The Australian Whip Cracking Championships are put on by the Australian Whip Crackers and Plaiters Association each year. This year they were held on April 6th at the Sydney Royal Easter Show. I consider this competition to be the place to see the very best in whip cracking.

I competed in this competition for the first time and took second in the Mens Whip Cracking, which was won by Daniel Wicks of New South Wales. They also give an award to highest score in the targeting, which I'm proud to say I won.

For anyone interested in competing, you must use leather stock whips, and a miniumum of a 6 ft long stock whip must be used for the targeting. That would be like using an 8 ft bullwhip or so. It's an Australian competition, so you have to use Australian whips.
