Good On You Both, Major and Clarke!
When I was in England over the summer, I enjoyed the hospitality of Major Horton (that really is his first name) of Wolverhampton, and I had the chance to crack some whips with him and his friends. So I was happy to see an article and a videoclip about his whip cracking skills on the Star and Express website. The piece noted Major recently won a pair of gold medals at a US whip competition.
Good on you, Major! This affable Englishman also said that he now holds the "unofficial" world record for most bullwhip cracks in one minute, having reached the number of 266, quite a bit higher than my own official Guinness World Record of 254, so I am confident this 66-year-old man may repeat his remarkable feat with the proper documentation.
I was happy to see as well that Major used the opportunity to mention whip cracking in the context of the Olympic Games. In my opinion, a better ambassador for whip cracking will not be found.
I am also looking forward to the day that the prestigious Guinness World Record will be broken yet again by a woman and by a teenager. For teenagers, I would keep my eyes on a young fellow named Clarke Bynum of Tennessee, who posted the video below (watch for the speed of his volleys). So good on you, too, Clarke!
