A customer of mine, a precocious 12-year-old named Troy Gallagher, and his faithful assistant Atticus, show off with one of my whips. You won't believe it! I was amazed, and also laughed my posterior regions completely off.

My admiration and gratitude to Troy for producing this video!!!
Also, 10' whips are here. The old 10' "prop" whips have now been moved to the clearance section.
Amazing video!

Re: Amazing video!
I second the question. I had one of the old 10 footers and destroyed it because I didn't know it wasn't for cracking. I really liked the 10' length, though, and would probably pony up the cash if I can crack it.indyclone wrote:so are the 10ft whips for 129.95 made for cracking too?

Re: Amazing video!
right i have the 8ft and i love that but would love the ten foot to have at my side for the conventions since it holds better in the whip holder i haveafterthedog wrote:I second the question.

Yes, the 10' bullwhips are the same as the 8' bullwhips. The old 10' "prop" whips have been moved to the clearance section.
What? No one has a comment about the video? The kid's a riot, not to mention amazing.

That's a great video, Puppetboy. I particularly liked the assistant's comment about standing still for three years getting his hand whipped.

I've shelled out for one of Todd's 10', hopefully will have it this weekend. I should be saving up for a 'roo 9' Del Carpio, but I wanted a 10' for playing with wrapping in the mean time. If it keeps me entertained for a few weeks before disintegrating it's worth the price - and I'm expecting at least that from Todd's.
His follow-through is a bit heavy, but you can't argue with success.What? No one has a comment about the video? The kid's a riot, not to mention amazing.
Dang, what was I doing at that age? (Probably hunched over a computer, programming...)
