Who is Adam Winrich?
Born in Eau Claire and raised in Fall Creek, Adam Winrich is a 30-time Guinness World Record holder for whip cracking. Winrich graduated from UW Eau Claire with a double major in math and physics, as reported by WEAU, but whip cracking is where his passion lies. He currently holds the titles of most whip cracks in a minute with two whips, most fire whip cracks in a minute (totaling 314) and loudest whip crack at 148.7 dB(A).
How did he get into whip cracking?
In a conversation with WEAU, he explained how his interest in whip cracking began. “I started whip cracking when I was eight years old after watching Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, and then I learned to make whips it’s something I started doing off and on,” noted Winrich. “Then there was a renaissance fair that opened in Chippewa Falls that I started at, some of my friends told me to do a show there and I met other acts doing the renaissance fair circuit and they said ‘oh if you like doing this renaissance fair you should try doing other ones’ so it sort of snowballed from there,” he explained.
