Everything about Whipcracking

Act of producing a cracking sound with a whip

Whipcracking is the act of producing a cracking sound through the use of a whip. Originally done in livestock driving and horse riding, it has come into use as a practice of its own. A rhythmic whipcracking belongs to the traditional culture among various Germanic peoples of Bavaria, in parts of the Alps, and in Austria and Hungary (Ostorozás). Today it is a performing art, a part of rodeo show in United States, a competitive sport in Australia, and an increasingly popular activity in the United Kingdom, where it crosses boundaries of sport, hobby, and performance.
