From falls & poppers to plaiting & cracking technique, this section is dedicated in memory of Sergei, IndyGear Staff Member and Whip Guru. Always remember to keep "Celebratin' Life!"
I have a mini bullwhip that I wanted to share, this one pictured has a 6 inch steel nail, leather core, 4 plait kangaroo belly, double bolster and an 8 plait kangaroo overlay ending in 6 plait.
But, I am going to start producing mini Indy style bullwhips with a 6 inch steel nail, wear leather, leather core, (2) kangaroo 4 plaited bellies and 2 bolsters and finish with the standard 12 plait kangaroo overlay which should look very similar to the standard Indy style whips and these will be a total length of 3.5 feet. I should have some pictures of this style up in the next couple days.
I do think the 8 plait looks good on these, I have noticed as I work with the 12 plait with the mini whips although it looks "Indy" but it just does not look as good as the 8 plait does. The 8 plait seems to work better with the smaller whips like these. I guess I will have to post both on here and ask for opinions on which one more people would like to have and then go with that.
My 5 year old and 7 year old were looking over my shoulder as I was looking at this post (both are avid whip crackers) and they told me to tell you... !
Whenever I see one of your pocket bulls, Nick, or a pocket snake, I feel SOOOOO tempted to buy one to carry it with me all day, in case it is required, if you know what I mean...
If anyone is interested in these mini whips just send me a PM and I can fill you in with all the details, I have one of these that I crack occasionally and they are fun to use.
