Continuous Whip

A whip whose middle is extended. The leader does not release the follower down the slot on 5–6 and keeps them rotating around the post for 2 or more extra counts before the exit, which makes it a 10- or 12-count figure. The extra counts are often used to exit on a hit in the music.

Brian B teaches that the extension depends on count 4. The leader holds the follower's weight and pivots them on that foot while moving their own foot across to where they can catch the weight.¹ The follower needs a clean pivot on the ball of one foot with the weight forward over it.² Brian B suggests about 12 counts as a maximum: "if you extend it longer than that you probably forgot how to come out of it."³
