My Midland Whip 8 Months Later!

Post by IndianaBravo »

I just wanted to post this fall shot of my Midland Whips Raiders model in a Fall setting. I´ve had it now since March and it is just getting better. I have another one like this coming. It will be interesting to see the contrast. Thanks Graeme!

Bravo, that whip looks GREAT!
It has got that perfect caramel color that I love.

I can't wait for mine to arrive.

Thank you.

I really do like the look of his current whips. How do you like how it feels to crack?

Hi Bravo!

Thanks for posting this. I just love seeing my whips after some months of use. Looks like your taking great care of her. I love the colour, really makes a difference and looks a lot more Raiders now :whip:

Keep cracking,

Graeme :whip:

My pleasure Graeme!

I ´m always looking out for photo ops when whip cracking. One thing I love about whip cracking is that it gets me out and away from the city to more bucolic settings, where the only sounds I hear are my whip cracks echoing off the hills!

Cheers!

That sounds great. I wish I lived somewhere like that. Its always raining here where I live so whip cracking is out for a while. Well... it always rains here :x I've had a few good weekends lately and gave my 10ft a good work out. Looks great now :TOH:

Man, this whip is beautiful! Mine looks good (after just about the same amount of time) but I think the Spanish sunshine must have done something special to that whip. It looks brand new! But such a beautiful golden brown!

Can't wait for my next order!

Thanks for the nice comments Daren! Graeme, believe it or not it does get rainy here in Spain. In fact, I have to check forecasts and plan my whip outings around the rapidly diminishing sunny days. One of these days I´m gonna seriously look into something in nylon ;)
Thwak! :whip:
