I wanted to start a thread that would showcase Indy fans from around the world. I am aware, of course, that here on COW we have members from all over the World. My idea is for COW members from around the world to let everyone see their country’s respective Indy fan sites, and to give us a peek into how people around the World enjoy this hobby of ours. Of course the web pages are in the respective languages, but nevertheless I thought It would be fun if we could check them out.
Since I started this , I’ll begin. I am based out of Spain and the Indy fan site here (the only one, I might add) is http://www.indianajones.es/. Most of the members are from Spain , but we do also have a strong international presence in the way of members from South and Central America. There are local chapters in most of the major cities here in Spain. We have interviewed David Morgan not too long ago, with the inestimable help of Will. Here is the link: http://www.indianajones.es/entrevistas/davidmorgan.php Just like in COW, we have discussion threads pertaining to every aspect of the Gear. People here seem to be really into the Hat. I have sorta been the catalyst of getting people here into the wonderful world of whip cracking. Before that, nobody in the group really had any idea about whips, much less own one. I modestly showed them my Strains, Bernardo, Midlands etc… one day in the park , and they instantly became addicts. I have unwittingly become “the whip guy” here, and I have been busy showing the group basic cracks , referring them to Adam’s videos, and generally spreading the “gospel”. Now we get together every couple of weeks, weather, permitting and go to a local park and practice. Here is a short video:

Finally here is a group shot.
That’s me second from the left. We get more people every time we get together. After cracking, we go for a cerveza and we even go out to eat once in a while. BTW all of the whips in the group shot are Todd´s whips!. My buddies here wanted to try out the whole whip cracking thing before investing more $ in something better. I am happy to say that most of them are already saving their Euros for something higher scale.
Well, that is what is going on here in Spain. I would encourage other COW members with an international background to do something similar and give us a peek into their particular Indy fan sites, get-togethers etc…
Tally HO!
