No panic! The very closing part of the crack is made to allow any whip owner to change it easily in only three steps.
Now You will see the most common methods:
The following methods are only two of the more popular methods, there are dozens of variations and other unique ideas for fall attachment styles out there.
Method 1: It is used either when the fall has an integral length or when it begins to shorten for the same section to be too large to allow a node to be executed, altering the movement’s proper dynamics.
- Step 1: After immersing in the water for about 10 minutes the last 20cm of the tapered part of the fall in order to soften it, with a clamp run about 3 cm away from the tip a circular notch.
Insert the tip of the fall into the twisted crackers of the cracker by placing the cracker directly above the notch previously performed.
- Step 2: Run, with the end of the cracker, a knot around the fall.
- Step 3: Tighten the cracker with a pliers so that the node that is executed will snap inside the previously made notch.

Method 2:It is used when the fall has an integral length or until the section width is relatively tapered to allow the node to be realized without altering the correct movement dynamics.
- Step 1: After immersing in the water for about 10 minutes the last 20cm of the tapered part of the fall in order to soften it, form a circle with the fall and push the tip of the fall into the twisted crackers of the cracker by placing the cracker about 3cm from the end Of the fall.
- Step 2: Insert the cracker into the circle formed by the fall.
- Tighten the cracker with a pinch so that the knot runs out inside the circle formed by the fall.
Happy Cracking!!!
