<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>There is a tradition in Bavaria called “Goa\u00dflschnalzen”. Don’t try to speak it out if you’re not familiar with southern German \ud83d\ude09 . It is a kind of whip cracking used in the past during livestock driving and horse riding that became an art.
\nNot farmers but young and older men (and meanwhile some girls too) working as teachers, engineers, mechanics\u00a0 and whoever, meet together, join in groups and exercise this cracking until they can “play” with their whips. The trick is not just to crack synchronously but to produce a given continuous rhythmic sequence of sounds – you have your place in the group and your crack is a part of the sequence so you have to crack exactly in the right moment. And if you consider, that you have to reach down to the side and swing your whip in a slow round movement using your entire body and finally to rise it back to accelerate the end of the whip producing the\u00a0 smashing sound you will see that it’s very hard to pre-count\u00a0 all that together and to “deliver” your part of the performance just in the time it’s needed \ud83d\ude42 .<\/p>\n
