Right there with ya, brother!

Besides, you said the whip would support the weight of an adult... You offered no evidence of that.

Shtick

To be fair, the whip isn't supporting your full weight. There is considerable strain on it, but it's not the same as if you were suspended from it.

Still, handy to have in such an event! I'd hate to see you tumble backwards into the water. Although, you do appear to enjoy soaking your gear...

Adam Winrich makes a great replica called the Indy On A Budget (IOAB). It's a 4-plait whip that sells for around $100. He travels a lot, so be patient if you order (if he's even taking orders at this point).

Well, I don't think the question is how the whip is classified, but rather what the intention is. If you walk into a bank with a baseball bat and a ski mask and say "Relax, they're just sporting goods", I doubt they'd be too friendly. The cops need to be convinced that you are not a threat...

Shtick

From my understanding in asking the local police, while the whip itself is legal, a neighbor could file a disturbing the peace complaint. Best to make nice with your neighbors, and then the police will never get involved. When I crack, I usually go to different parks each time. Hard to find a grassy...

The Faire is basically where the 605 meets the 210 freeway.

Shtick

Adam, my girlfriend and I are planning a trip to the Faire on one of the upcoming Sundays. I am very excited to see you perform. If you have a pair of tickets, we would be most appreciative. Perhaps there is a Guinness (or any beverage) with your name on it in exchange. I will be bringing the Morgan...

I smuggled my prop flintlock into Disneyland one Halloween but left it "holstered." Heck, I bought my pirate flintlock at Disneyland, back when they used to sell them! My Indy gun is a $1 gas station convenience store cap gun. But it was made in the correct colors. I draw it at the Con, b...

Shtick

Works for me!

Shtick

I'd be interested in seeing them, at least. Price depending, I'd pick one up. You mention no lanyard ring. Is adding it a possibility?

Shtick

And other than suicide, the point of this gun is...?

Shtick

Did you resist the urge to call Anthony "Mad Dog"?

Shtick

Those are some fine TLAs you have listed.

Shtick

Very nice. Love the display rack. Does the whip ever see use? It would be a shame for it to dry up and become brittle. Was the damage to the wrist strap from the filming? Or was that after the fact?

Shtick

Thrift store salvage.

I found a $1 belt that was horrible, but it had a metal keeper. Well worth the purchase. And it was plenty distressed. You never know what you may find out there.

Shtick

Pyramid, check Related Videos on YouTube from that one he posted, and you can find links of Adam demonstrating many cracks. They are very informative.

Shtick

Awesome videos, Adam! Looking forward to seeing your performance at Irwindale Faire.

Shtick

I know exactly what you are talking about. For a few years, I've been using an 8' Mexican 4-plait (which I call "The Jalapeño Popper"). I learned a few very basic cracks with it, but it made noise, so I was happy. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v664/Shtick/Indy/110-1082_IMG.jpg Well, a ...

Shtick

I'd go out to the desert and tie myself to the back of a truck with it.

Shtick

I made mine (and it shows) . For materials, I scoured thrift stores for a leather item that I could slice up. I found a Naugahyde handbag for $1, a template online, and a friend with an industrial sewing machine. The results aren't the best, but it serves its purpose. http://img.photobucket.com/albu...

Shtick

Wow, that's a really long cracker! I've never seen one that long before. Looks to be about half the lenth of the fall, yes?

Yeah, but then people would see how bad my DP looks. I'll stay where I am, thanks.

Shtick

Only up to 34" inseam? No good.

Shtick

Heh. She's already got one, but that was from her figure skating.

Shtick

No, it's not a Morgan. Knots are too square. Also, it appears to be a 2-plait, with a large seam running down the center.

My girlfriend has always been afraid to attempt whip cracking. Perhaps I'll start her out on that model.

Are you really 9' tall?

Only when I stand next to Bink...

Shtick

Don't get me wrong. I'm not complaining that it's digital. Just pointing it out. The effect looks awesome (apart from the fact that unless the lamp was already pointing towards Indy, there's no way he could accomplish that swing).

Shtick

It doesn't say anything about being 9' tall. Nobody can really even see my hat...

Shtick

DISNEY (non-Cooper), c. 1995-ish?

The color is really faded. It's gotten very light compared to the SA jackets. But it's rugged as heck. And just as heavy.

Shtick

Yup. Looks digital here.

Shtick

Hey! They stole my bumper sticker, and made a shirt out of it!!

Shtick

I guess it just boils down to which he removes more often, his jacket or the bag. I see him wearing the bag more often, and just throwing the jacket on over it out of practicality.

But I don't have a dog in this fight. Doesn't matter to me either way.

You are correct in all points.

Shtick

It's a good thing I was wearing my rock-hard Dorfman. Some of those doorways were pretty low...

Shtick

[ resists urge to make dress comment ]

I remove my hat by the pinch. But then, it's a Dorfman, and I'm trying to wear holes in it, so then I'll have to buy a new hat!

Shtick

Question regarding your gunbelt setup. I notice you have the belt looped through the metal keeper, but over the leather one. Is that the Screen Accurate way of doing it? I have been unable to tell.

Awesome setup, by the way. Very nice display.

Shtick

Well, considering I was single at the time I put my bag together, Loctite was more readily available.

Shtick

As a piece of advice with the Chicago screws, if you put a spot of clear fingernail polish in the post when screwing it together, it will keep the screw from wiggling itself lose over time. Trust me, those buggers will fly off and disappear at the worst possible time! Good advice. But then, he wear...

Shtick

All these great jacket photos are making me want to get a new one. My medium brown Disney jacket just isn't cutting it.

Shtick

Bigrex, very nice setup you've got there! The jacket looks great

No comment.

The Morgan was the one Adam Winrich recently listed in the Bazaar. It's VERY well broken in, and cracks extremely easily and, obviously, loudly.

I was just out of camera range, and saw the whole thing from the side. The whip cracked about a foot over Shane's head.

Shtick

lingarn wrote:Nice, loud crack.

The park rangers thought so too. Between the Morgan, the pocket, and the Jalapeño Popper, we were making quite a bit of noise.

Shtick

Thanks. I still haven't gotten the blood off it. Now it wants more!

Shtick

I wonder which is louder, the pistol or the whip?

Shtick

Or maybe the loop is too large, and he's shortening them a bit?

Shtick

I will go for that explanation. Sounds reasonable enough.

I still prefer the Morgan handle.

Of the same? I never said that. I got one of each, and an extra Motorcycle Chase set for my desk at work.

Shtick

Very odd. The two that I got from different sets are identical to each other. And the ball on the end is perfectly round. Pretty unusual for an error.
