Hi

Who is the whipmaker??

regards.
That was my old Bernardo Del Carpio 10ft. I had to sell it, but am VERY happy to have been able to place a new order. Probably get the new one in August sometime.

These pics are a follow-on from my recent post on 'scrapbook' page.
I've attempted to copy Harrison's famous LC whip throw still.

He looks a little tangled up there, Indyclone! That is often how I end up.

Just got a new whip from Kiscien and thought that would be a good first reply here in the Bullwhip section.
I really enjoy this whip, and it cracks so much easier than my old whip :)

This is the best I can do at this time ( I'll have to hit my friends up for some good still shots someday ). These are screengrabs from my buddy's new short film. They're a bit blurry, but you can just make out the whip in them - well, maybe not the last one, but it's there! :[ ( and yes, I'm making the standard frown/constipation face in the last pic! )

If you get time, check out Burke Vader's new comedy short, "Indy vs. Vader" in the editing room. He had to twist my arm a bit to do it, but it turned out to be a lot of fun. :) Image

So... as mentioned at http://indygear.com/cow/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=44603 I took my whips to Calgary for the holidays, and took advantage of the dry, smooth snow on the street in front of my parents' house to do some cracking every day.

On the last day I was there a photographer from the Calgary Herald drove past looking for winter stories (skating on ponds, cross-country skiing in parks, etc). She stopped and took some pictures of me, which ran in the paper the next day:

And here's a shot of the photographer getting the shot:

That's my nylon 7' Rhett Kelley.

Look at the determination on her face.

Daren, it looks like you just whipped the gun out of Barranca's hand.

Daren, Everything here is spot on! The gear, your look, the attitude, stance, physique...even the expression on your face. I know how difficult it is to keep a grim expression when cracking the whip. When we are concentrating so hard on form, stance, style, and safety, the facial expression goes on auto pilot and usually ends up goofy! :P (You won't recall seeing any whip photos from me.... :oops: )

Awesome pic!!! I'd love to see it photoshopped into the gaveyard scene! :whip:

Michael :TOH:

Thanks, Michael! ;) I'll have to see if my buddy who photoshops can help me out!

I won't deny that I've worked hard on the whip-cracking, as well as the "whip-cracking face". It does take effort to achieve relaxation. I recently got together with a COW member who lives near me to crack whips and he told me, "You make it look so effortless."

"Well," I said, "A lot of effort goes into effortless." ;)

To prove it, here is a picture of me from just a few days before the release of Crystal Skull :oops:

Image

Since then, I even lost over 20 pounds as a result of diet and exercise, all thanks to wanting to look less like a dope when I dress as Indy.

Great Shots Darren,

Isn't it funny how loud a whip crack is indoors? I remember jumping back when I first did it inside my house when it was raining :lol:

Here's me and Jaimee last month, whipcracking on a soccer field behind her house:

And here is a funny whipcracking video that SOUNDS more painful than it really was! She's such a good sport.
