Well guys, today marks the end of an era for me..... albeit it a rather short era :-) I have recently taken a new job and coupled with that starting Cutting Edge Forum has both really shortened my amount of "Forum Browsing" that I used to do so often. I just want to thank everyone of my fr...

If you like As opposed to Indy Gear’s Bullwhip Forum, which doesn’t? :lol: ;) Dan well......... there IS that one guy...... no wait... no... he *****.... um....... hmmmm... ........ OH! theres....... no wait, they ar...

I just received my 2nd whip from Terry Jacka. My first was an 8 ft KOTCS "J" Series and I liked it so much that I decided to order another. This time I went with a 7" "Delongis handle" whip in Black with brown knots. Its nothing short of gorgeous, and of equal quality to tha...

You know Lauren, the International Space Station is getting a bit bigger.... maybe we can petition NASA to let a whipmaker go up there and try to make the "curveless" whip!

we just finalized the logo TODAY. This has been about a two week process. Basically, out old logo WAS pretty cool, but it wasnt very contrasty..... So we went back to the drawing board. Our SUPER talented artist/staff member redesigned the logo from the ground up, and the results were VERY impressiv...

Shagbd

not that it matters because that brown is VERY nice!

Shagbd

UPDATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Shagbd

My friends (who arnt into whips..) ask me why i have so many differnet whips.... My answer? Same reason Golfers have more than one club.... Different tools for different Jobs... you mentioned the Jacka whip whip with the longer transition, but they do not exactly handle like a long handled bullwhip....

I posted this over on the whip basics site on 12/30/08 My Name is David Stokes, Im a whip and weapons enthusiast and I am also the former administrator of The Cutting Edge Forum. The Cutting Edge Forum was a forum dedicated to Knives, Swords, Guns and Whips. About a month ago, we had a catastrophic ...

Shagbd

Good stuff! Keep crackin'! :whip: I also think it's funny how when you explain your techniques you do hand motions... and that's exactly how I do them. I think once you start cracking whips, you get that subconsiously implanted into your brain to do those hand motions. At least you're not making so...

Shagbd

it sounds massive, but its really light its a pretty skinny whip.... VERY skinny compared to the Jacka, but thats what makes it excell. I just went out and did some free form cracking today and everything came very easy with it.... I HIGHLY recommend Joes Australian whip if your looking for a lightw...

Shagbd, That is a fantastic looking whip, nothing like your "own" signature whip! As always Joe creates magic again! :shock: Allen you nailed it!! i started out just wanting a Zorro style whip from Joe... but see.... IM NOT ZORRO!! So i decided to do something more personalized... I like ...

Shagbd

Shagbd

Yeh, you NAILED it about the aging...

the leather will age along with the copper

Shagbd

First off I want to thank Robby for sending me a preview copy of his tutorial DVDs. My copy arrived a few weeks ago, right around the christmas Holiday. Due to holiday events and my being sick, I havent been able to write up a full review. I just want to point out a few things that really jumped out...

Shagbd

This whip has been a long time in the making... :-) Several months ago, I contacted Joe about doing a whip with a metal band, similar to the Alex Green/Zorr whips, but we wanted to do something completely unique... something no one has ever seen before. The whip is basically one of his 6 Ft Australi...

Shagbd

the breakaway is basically a fast fig 8 followed by a throw... you can do that throw overhand, sidearm etc depending one what your setting up next... I think the video you mentioned that adam did, he did a changing planes fast fig 8, with the first crack overhead, 2nd crack in the side plain, and th...

Shagbd

I havent even started yet......... whew!

Oh yeh........ love the "signature" page too

Shagbd

good heavens that beautiful!

congrats!

Shagbd

well, It'll be a week or so... but I have a very special 6ft Aussie whip coming from Joe Strain.
This one will be VERY unique and feature some "firsts" that ive never seen on a whip before....
I just wanted to get this thread started so once it arrives i can just post pics!

Stay tuned!

Shagbd

Unfortunantly guys, it seems that the forum will remain down for an indefinant amount of time.

In all truth, it may NOT be back up again..... ever

sorry for all this, but it is out of my control.

Shagbd

yeh i have no idea what happened.
nothing has been done so far that would cause anything to change from your end.

Shagbd

Thanks guys!!! yeh, its been a busy year! I started my masters in january, finished in december! again, yet another reason why the forum has been slow and down the past few weeks....... FINALS! My friend who does all the work is ALSO in college, and he still has some finals this coming week..... so ...

Shagbd

Mines on the way too!!

Ill post a review once i get it!

Shagbd

Edited see last post

Shagbd

no promises, but it MIGHT be back up this weekend........

Shagbd

still down.....

we're working on it.

Shagbd

thats actually BETTER than a real 1917........ Cheaper ammo!

Shagbd

actually thats the FALL
the "thong" is the braided part of the whip minus the handle.
i didnt notice if mine had the notches or not.....

congrats on getting it, i know they are a PAIN to wait on!
glad your wait is over!

Shagbd

i would suggest on both your underhand flick and overhand flick... work on the planes! This is something that took me a while to learn but helps when you get into combo cracks. when you bring the underhand flick up, its crossing over your diagonal shoulder... it should come up straight in front of y...

Shagbd

hahahah I know

Im sorry for this downtime on the forum..

prehaps with all the free time you have since your not on cuttingedgeforum.com you can pick up a new hobby? like..... needle point?
hahahahhaa!

Just kidding of course........ we'll be back!

Shagbd

yeh......... saw that.........
sorta tacky to do something like that, but no sweat off my back....
Everything works out in the end
