Whipcracking? Who, where, how?

Post by Whiper Jones »

Hello all!

Just for curiosity I ask what kind of people you are here on this forum?
How does whip include to your life?
Just to be part of Indiana Jones outfit or do you actually use it too?
If you use it what kind of stuff do you do with it?

Nice to have another "scandinavian" inhere :)

Well if it haven´t been for Indy I hardly would have gotten a
bullwhip. People don´t buy bullwhips in Denmark - Texas is a
bit to far away :wink:

But now I have it and I use it for amusement. It´s a pretty cool "tool".

Come to think of it, maybe I should get an apointment with our local
butcher. Wouldn´t it be cool to whip some dead pigs. I´ll be sure to add some pics if I go ahead with this sick plan :lol:

Have fun

Best regards

Oh yes!

Great to find fellow whipcrackers closer than USA or Australia too! :D

Hey, forget about the pigs!
I have great mark on my own hand that I got early this summer and it looks kind of cool!
I bet dead pig wont get such mark and if did no one probably will ask every now and then. "Hey!Whats that?" :D

Yes, whip is very nice tool for lots of fun!
Actually I have small entertainment business that arranges all kind of nice and exiting activities and happenings to companies etc.
Whipcracking is one of these activities.
Also we do some small "shows" Western or Middle Age-style.
So whip is kind of work tool for me every now and then...

Oh yeah; there is some of us in England that have their own forum.

WhipCrackUK-subscribe@yahoogroups.com
They are planning to have gathering some day soon.
Maybe we could go there too!?

I ordered my first whip from Australia about 3 weeks ago and am expecting it in about 4 weeks or so. I hope to become fully able in the sport/art of whip cracking. I don't want the whip to just hang on my wall. I want it to actually be used (even if only for fun). Can't wait to get it though!
