Adam Winrich Gets Crackin'

Nick Meyer |

Howdy buckaroos! Just last week, I, along with V1 contributor Aryn Widule, had the opportunity to hang out with the Chippewa Valley’s world record holding whipcracker, Adam Winrich, at his home just outside Eau Claire. We caught up with him on one of the few days he was home between setting his seventh world record (in Italy) and heading out to Texas to shoot an instructional whipcracking DVD. Right now Aryn is taking a crack at the full story for the May 14 issue of Volume One, but in the meantime (as a treat to our faithful website readers) I whipped up this video that shows Winrich in action. Shots include a massive fire whip, a Florida cow whip routine, and cutting several cans of soda Clean. In. Half. Not to mention an interview with the whipmaster himself. Let us know what you think.
