I consider this to be a form of cencorship. It's more about controlling copyright infringement than anything else. The governments of the countries that get these other regional DVD's are the ones doing the censoring of many of the films you see (or don't see). It takes some time to get a film prep...

Hey, no hard feelings? I've gotten myself in similar (kind of) position when I commented about an american made sword years ago. It was a japanese katana (or samurai sword)-style sword and I made a few stupid comments about it just because I assumed it couldn't be very good coming outside Japan. My ...

Sorry if you feel I was attacking you. No meaning to be rude. My 12 feet TJ is considerably heavier than the 12 feet JS I handled so it seems weird that you think it's lighter? And about the workmanship on these two whips I don't agree. Both whips are very well done. If you prefer the short handle (...

Also, the weight of a Terry Jacka is much lighter. A Joe Strain whip is a much better crafted bullwhip. Could you be more specific since these too statements seem a bit odd? I have a 12 foot Terry Jacka and have had the opportunity to compare it to a Joe Strain in the real life. I know the differen...

Thanks for the tip.

For the record: I'm looking for whips for myself that won't get ruined if they get wet... the problem isn't the novice users, I have a cheap nylon whip for them to try but I usually use the whips on a surface that gets real muddy after the rain.

I guess we can all thank the manufacturers of DVD and VHS players for this brilliant marketing scheme. Well actually it's the big film companies who are responsible of this. They want to get the money from movie theaters before selling a DVD on a new region. I consider this to be a form of cencorsh...

Is the DVD region-free? My current DVD-player doesn't play DVDs outside of region 2 and I haven't found a mod-chip yet.

Well, Finland is pretty small country. Hadn't had the change to really crack whips together but we have met several times now.

as soon you know, let me know too!
Indeed here is so wet all the time...

Maybe we should order some of these WSP-whips... I imagine the price is so low that there wouldn't be problems re-selling them? I'm thinking about getting two 8 footers.

Well it looks like Rhett has a waiting time of 6 months so I have to look elsewhere.

WSP sells whips made by Krist King. Anyone have any experience with them?

Howdy. I'm looking for a whipmaker who makes good nylon whips. The model I'm looking for is a replica of the target whip made by Peter Jack, 'The Whip Man' http://www.thewhipman.co.nz/imagebulls7.gif I have one of these beauties but the weather here in Finland is keeping the outdoor-training time sh...

Whipcrack wrote:I agree Sergei, tightly coiled is always bad. However, if I tell my wife I now have to store my whips laid out she will tell me to store them around my neck.

That would be very bad!

At least they would be safe from varmints?

Yeah, that pretty much sums it up...

That could do the trick if the hooks won't cause dents? I actually found a good place next to the stairway but I don't trust my cat to leave it alone. One thing I have been planning is to make a narrow shelf up the wall, high enough to keep the whips safe from my dogs and my kid but it still doesn't...

Any idea how to hang an aussie style 12 footer? The total length is somewhere around 15 feet and I don't have a high enough place for it?

I currently keep my whips losely coiled on a hat shelf.

Let the whip dry completely before applying any conditioner. Otherwise the conditioner will seal the moisture inside the whip.

I use the same gloves as I use when I'm shooting CAS. The gloves are very thin and they don't protect my hands from bruises and stuff but they keep my skin from coming apart. A bit like motorcycle suit is there just to keep your body in one piece but doesn't keep your bones from breaking...

Frank!?
You have Joe Strain whip!??

? WTF ?

I didn't post that?

No, I don't own any whips made by Strain. Never even seen one.

I think it's not Strain. Doesn't look even close to the one I own. Could be wrong.

...getting one of those swivel whips from western stage props or USW, but i used to have one like that and i just dont care for the swivel handle. The swivel can be easily disabled, so if the whip is ok in other aspects like length and cost, go ahead. I'm not very impressed by nylon but then again,...

Right. With the kind of attitude they seem to have I bet they won't be getting much returning customers and will be gone soon enough.

What about the 12 footers? Off-the-scale-and-obsolete?

Hey, that's good, I've been wanting to take the plunge with one of Peter's whips. Did you get a stock whip or one of his zenith bullwhips? -Sergei If you're thinking about getting a whip from The Whip Man I highly recommend him. It's a work of art! My 12 footer is made by Jacka and it's great looki...

Mine is a target whip, since I'm more comfy with the longer handle.



Two small pics of my new baby...

Gee.

I think I stay away from them, no matter how nice the whips might be.

At the moment I'm not even looking for a new whip because I just got a nice 7 footer made by The Whip Man and busy as a bee with it.

It's kind of sad to see someone using that kind of means to advertise ones products.

Has any of you ever seen or used one of these whips in real-life? I was just wondering because of the price.

Oh yes! That was 13th Frank! Thanks for reminding me!

Number 13? No wonder it tried to rip my hand off...

Ok, user mistake. The extra length surprised me...

I wouldn't use excessive amount of leather conditioner. Just use the whip.

Personally, I'd picture Indy in something along these lines: http://www.davidmorgan.com/proddetail.html?product_number=2772&ticket=118900-854734&sequence=35613 We call these coats as 'Duster' and they are great. In addition of being waterproof they are windproof! Ok, I have allways used lea...

I asked the sheriff and he said as long as it's no louder than a lawnmower, it's permitted within city limits. You can't fire a gun in city limits though, and I hate to say, a bullwhips sounds much like a 12 gauge shotgun going off... Hmm... At least my neighbor can tell whether I'm cracking my 12 ...
