Buy them both.

Then send me one.

I'll even let you pick which one....

Eye of the Tiger Try cracking in time with every surge in guitar. :shock: (No, I haven't tried it. It was just the first song that popped into my head) If you're really ambitious, crack in time to "I Got the Power" It's gettin... It's gettin... It's getting kinda hectic... :notworthy:

myrddin

We can spend all day talking theoretical situations...This vs. That...Extinuating circumstances...This guy vs, That guy...Imperial Star Destroyer vs. The Starship Enterprise...But where the rubber meets the road, the Whip can be far more effective than what a lot of your guys are giving it credit f...

Beautiful whips!

But I need to stop coming to this forum. It's giving me an itch to have a "package day" in my future.

I love this hobby, it can be expensive...

Adam,My name is jake and I have a question that is off subject.I am about to turn 15 and I have 6ft. 12 plait Caicedo whip which is great but I am trying to find a 10 footer that doesn't cost that much. I was wandering if you could help. I know for sure that I am getting close to if not $200 for my...

But what if I had a Dewalt cordless drill, and you had a frozen halibut? LOL! I love it. :rolling: Don't be ridiculous... Do you know hard it is to get a decent crack out of a halibut, let alone a frozen one? The little buggers are so slippery, I had to buy grip gloves so it doesn't go flying off w...

myrddin

Thanks for bumping this.

myrddin

Wet Whip Wipes ... Keep your whip rolling out clean.

myrddin

As I've only cracked various styles of bullwhips (cow, roo, and nylon), I can't vote. :) I do want to get a stock whip one of these days, though. I do know that I could never crack a lunge whip when I used to work at a horse stable... I only tried a few times, but I didn't get a pop worthy of the na...

myrddin

I just want to know where I can get a pink bullwhip like they used in Zorro the Gay Blade.

myrddin

It's pretty easy to make your own rack with only two pegs. That coat rack seems like it'd bunch up the whip, with the overhang... I used a 1 1/2 inch dowel (pole I guess is better description) for my pegs. I'm at work (shhh) so I don't have the photo of the one I made, but there's a post around here...

myrddin

Your both WRONG! Hasbro said this was the perfect Raiders bullwhip... http://img207.imageshack.us/img207/5310/indianajoneswhip.jpg Only a true SA whip has the soundtrack readily available at the touch of a button. :lol: My three-year-old got this for Christmas and loves running around the house wit...

myrddin

Thanks for all the links!

Good to see ole Jim Craig again, too.

My three year old son loves the Man from Snowy River. He'd watch it every day if I'd let him. He loves horses and whips. Takes after his dad, that one.

I guess I have to claim him...

myrddin

snip Absolutely. We know that Michelangelo didn't create 1000+ copies of the Statue of David, BUT he did do the one standing in Florence. Are you saying the little plastic David I bought outside the Duomo isn't SA, I mean, made by Michelangelo??? :rolling: Quick note: Michelangelo made the David th...

myrddin

Personally speaking, the whip comes first, but then I'm not a "SA" kind of guy. Yes, I wanted an Indy whip, but the exact dimensions or whip maker aren't at the top of my list. I first started researching getting a good kangaroo bullwhip about 6 or 7 years ago. A quick google search lead m...

myrddin

That's the actual prop?

Maybe they just wanted the young Indy whip to look significantly different from adventurer Indy's whip.

:shrug:

myrddin

I had this film at the top of my queue for nearly a year, and it never got shipped.

I remember loving it as a kid, but haven't seen it since the early 80's.

myrddin

Maybe he's been listening to Will Smith.

And gettin' giggy with it.

Na na na na na na.

myrddin

Someone stole most of your whip!!!!

heh Nice key ring.

myrddin

Welcome, Kendall.

Can we get an admin to change his title to "Anthony's Whipping Post"?

(Still waiting to see the show. Don't have History Channel down here in Ecuador. At least we don't.

)

myrddin

Oddly enough the "release" wrist flick you see in the movies never seemed to work for me... :lol: always ended up having a long ladder near by. Hah! That's great. :lol: Yeah. Good times. I did finally get the release flick down. I'd wrap the branch, then flick it so the top strand overlap...

myrddin

That's a beautiful whip, there Nibs. Full of history. Good find. EVERY serious whip artist MUST own at least one Morgan...... While Morgans are awesome whips, I don't think it's a must for the money one costs, especially is you're looking for one actually made by DM. It may be a must for a serious I...

myrddin

You know, I grew up playing with cheap rope-core leather whips (from Mexico I believe). Sure they only lasted three years or so (and this is with a 12 year old me wrapping pine branches and swinging with it), but I had a lot of fun with them and did all sorts of cracks. I got a Strain last summer (2...

myrddin

huh? They added more cliff because 100 foot fall wasn't enough?

So, the new dvd releases are not the same as the original dvd box set? What else was added?

(This would be a new thread me thinks...)

So, did they remove the orchestra from the truck in the new releases?

myrddin

What's really illusion defeating is the quick shot of the orchestra in the back of the truck. You can see John Williams briefly when Indy climbs out of the ripped canvas. And the crate costume the horn section was wearing is sheer awful.

Man... Movie editing is a lost art.

myrddin

Heh. Stupid laptop monitor. It completely looks light grey from here.

myrddin

Nice looking whip. Looks beefy in all the right places. You should post a video of it in action.

Is the nylon color silver or grey?

myrddin

My two favorite suggestions: She Loves Me, She Loves Me Not ? (emphasis on the question mark. ok, maybe that's a different trick...) A Pluck and a Haircut (to the tune of a "shave and a haircut, two bits") Other random brainstormy ideas: Stick a Flower in the Hat Flower Clipping Pluck it, ...

myrddin

Beautiful whip. Like someone said above, I usually don't care for colored whips either, but those colors have changed my opinion of them. Well done, Adam. Great looking whip . . . it does look like a coral snake. It would have been a cool finisher if it had a snake head for the fall hitch but I don'...

myrddin

Nice design. Very clean and easy to navigate. And I noticed the familiar katana whip in the signature series... Very cool. And I like the trade in idea. No, I'm not ready to trade in my Strain, :whip: but it's a great idea. (bookmarks the specials page...) Once I move back to the States, I'll be ord...

Hey, don't knock the horseback whip cracking action.

If I had a horse, you can but your coil of kangaroo hide I'd be cracking from the saddle.

Very cool collection. I've only got a few swords (carbon steel rapier + main gauche, a LOTR Gandalf sword I found for $40, and a pair of stainless steel katanas I got in high school), and a couple of Nepali daggers (one is touristy and the other is the real deal thatlooks like it was used often...)....

myrddin

nicely done. And beneath a map of Scotland, no less.

myrddin

This thread is pointless without... Oh.

I'm looking forward to seeing your display. I was surprised how little attention my plaque made. I guess most people don't display them on the wall.

myrddin

Post a pic of your whip and info. Maybe someone will trade...

myrddin

lol Thanks. I can't claim credit for it, though. I saw it 5+ years ago on some forum and have been using it ever since.

Every once in a while I'll get a PM from someone saying "Dude, you avatar is broken."

myrddin

I doubt the old style cowboys worried about whether they threw their whips, wny more than we would only use a shovel in soft earth. The grass rule is for keeping it looking pristine. Do you tink Indy looked around that street in Cairo and thought "OMG! I can't crack here! THese are dusty stone ...

myrddin

I picked a 8 footer as my first roo whip mostly because of economics: I was already spending $450 on a novelty item (ie, something I really enjoy, but is not something I had to have). Adding another two feet upped the price betwee $100-150 Don't get me wrong. I love my Strain. It is a fine example o...

myrddin

I finally got around to finishing my display plaque, and figured I'd addit to the wall of whips, since it does in fact hang on a wall.

8foot Stain Indy style

myrddin

Whenever I can scrape the money together, I've going to comission a Zorro-like whipe from Joe. I don't need the authentic silver band or anything. Just a nice black 10 footer with the double knots and unique braiding on the handle.

myrddin

Don't take it that way, Angel. You did ask for feedback, and you recieved some constructive comments back, not insults.

Trust me. Insults are wide and varied on the Internet. Those were not examples of those.

myrddin

Yes, I have the same condition that is cronic around here: I'm already planning my next whip. Unfortunately, I don't seem to have the same level of income to allow me to keep up with, well, the Joneses. :) I love my 8 foot Strain, and will likely go back to Joe for my next one, which will be a 10 fo...

myrddin

I like that! great idea! I was thinking of something similar, but slightly higher, centered between those two pegs, it put another to support the highest part of the coil... just to prevent sagging... might be unncessary, but eh, who knows? NICE plaque tho! Thanks. It turned out a lot plainer than ...

myrddin

Since we're getting ready to move out of the country, it looks like I'm not going to be able to make whip racks for people like I was planning. But since my personal one is almost done, I figured I'd post pics of it before I stain it. The solid oak plaque is 15" in diameter with 1 1/4" dow...

myrddin

I'm always impressed when I see your videos, Adam, but that takes the cake.

Thanks for posting that.

myrddin

That looks like an Adventure Heroes bullwhip.

Nice

myrddin

That's cute. :) Last May, a friend of mine was in town. He was excited about Indy 4 and wanted to learn how to crack a whip, so we went out in the back yard with the old Mexican 6 footer I had (the only whip I had at the time) and I showed him. My 2.5 year old came down to watch. About a month later...

myrddin

ou're so mean to put those two whips side by side.

One is functional, but the other is a thing of beauty.... Kind of seeing two brothers, except one can double for the hunchback of NOtre Dame and the other is Brad Pitt.
