Old Whip Footage

This is kind of funny and cool at the same time. I found it on a Google video search.

Hhahahaahhaha..... :rolling:


I think today something like that would be considered child abuse. It's no wonder my grandparents are cranky all the time.

:oops::whip:


Great video. :clap:

I couldn't tell if it was bravery or stupidity on the kids part. His accuracy did not inspire a lot of confidence.

That's awesome!

I like how they refered to the stock whip as 'the australian bullwhip'.

Those are some great tricks, too, actually. I liked the one where he had the boys daisy-chained together with targets and he went down the line with the whip.

Target tricks always look cute when you use somebody young, but for myself I never let a young person hold targets for me.

On VHS I've got a video segment that's similar to that one, though it's a group of well-to-do twenty-somethings cracking whips. It's also in black and white and has the same quality of lame puns about the crack of the whip. It shows taking the top off a beer bottle, and also shooting off a pistol with a whip.

Thanks for sharing, Jim :D

Oh I wish I could do that when my students start talking back disrespectfully. With my aim, they'd have nothing more to say and the other

GraveRobber, watch what you are typing. If someone reads that one out of context, they will get the wrong idea about us. You know Bufflehead don't even want to watch Brokeback Mountain, more less go there.
