Aerial,

The wire-core flip you posted is somewhat near and dear as it was the first wire-core flip I ever bought. Works very nicely, especially if you've never used one before.

I hate leaving the bitter end dangling way below my feet, I loop the extra on my left side through a large accessory biner, and clip that to my saddle. Typically if I'm workin something that's only 12-36" dia then I don't need most of it, but occasionally I find that I could use some extra and I just unclip a loop from the biner on my side. I've found that it keeps the tail out of my way.

Word of warning however, I keep the spare loops coiled BIG, only 2 or 3 of them hanging there. It being wire-core, if you continually coil it in any fashion it will stress the wire and could lead to a wire-core breakage. Don't kink the lanyard at all and keep it in nice loops if you can't hang it straight.

Beware the false-sense of courage you can get from using wire-cored lanyards!
