S...

The stock whips are nice too,but i like the color of the bullwhips more

)
I love the look of a bullwhip more than a stockwhip,but like you say multiple crack routine are just so much easier with stockwhips that i adopted them!

thank you!this is a good saying!

When you do the behind the back crack, you could turn it into an upside down coachmans. To me, this would be difficult as I'm terrible at coachman's cracks. But it would really cool in your combo. I can do the coachman's crack,but then upside down cachman's crack would make the crack down and not u...

Of course i'm not expecting any big big reaction like waow ,great,faboulous ,or anything like that,that'snot a Big Big trick or something really amzing,but i just wanted to hear your opinion as public ,audience with enjoy watch whipcracking ,if you though this move was worth putting in a multiple cr...

Here is an excellent video made by Paul Nolan and Lauren Wickline, showing how to build up to the four corners, and they're using the performance hybrids like you. It's a tough crack, I can't get it, but then again, all I have it 8' whips with 8" handles. Hi Riku, i have seen the video and a c...

Hi everybody, i didn't had to much time to practice the last few weeks ,so as i didn't work to much on routine i try a few cracks,new for me,the one i'm struggling with at the moment is the four corners,still in the study of that move,i need to understand how this crack works,then make it understand...

i found it really great if a whipmaker is able to cut his strands by judging by eye with a sharp knife and still be able to do tem the same size.for now i'm also judging by eye but cutting with a sisors.But the strands are not exact same size,which for now it's not that bad because i only do tries a...

sylviarosat

Hi Louie, Thanks for sharing those pictures!that's some nice mini bullwhip!Like you said i like the 8 plait also better.It's very nice of you to put the steps on how you did them,it's interesting to see how you make them!So you still do a belly under the overlay,for the first try i did i also did a ...

sylviarosat

for the technik you are saying ,then i should have a base as handle and an core ,right?because this last mini whips i did i just use 4 strands of lether,without belly under or somethind for the handle.But if now i would cut the strands and start to braid again from the beggining of the handle ,i cou...

Thanks for the explanation!I think i understand ,i'm gonna see it when i practice it otherwise i'm gonna ask you.But i couldn't use 16 plait on such a small whip i think there i just did 4.With the technik your explaining the handle doesn't come thicker than the rest of the whip?i post some pictures...

sylviarosat

I'm glad you enjoyed it! Your fingers SHOULD hurt on your first whip, on Bernie Wojcicki's bullwhip how to on his page, he specifically says that he wants to see sore and stiff fingers on the first few plaiting sessions. Yes ,maybe "He" wants but "Me" not!just kidding :TOH: I un...

For the mini whips i used some rest of leather from old costume(héhé..:-)i make with what i have disponible here)but this was just for experimetation anyway so it's not worth it to use some nice leather...i'm still in the begginning trying to figure out which lenght the handle should be,as well for ...
