Tyler McCaul wins 2012 Whip Off World Champs – videos & photo gallery

Indiana Jones, gangsta rappers, dominatrixes – everyone loves a good whip*, but no-one more so than the crowd at Crankworx Whistler. They went absolutely batshit yesterday at the unofficial Whip Off World Champs, and for good reason – the moves being pulled were off the scale!

America’s Tyler McCaul walked off with the $1,000 winner’s cheque. “I learned how to do whips by watching Thomas Vanderham’s video parts in New World Disorder,” he said. “So it was cool that we were together in the finals.” Enough from us – feast your eyes on the highlights vids and photos below…
