'Small' cracking session

Post by bearbeast »

Today was the sunniest, warmest day of the year so far, so together with my wife we took our bikes to the forest on the outskirts of our town. I got a nice chance to crack my pocket-bull and my mini-whip.

I made two short videos.

Hope you enjoy!

Wish the section was more active... :-k

Well the threads come and go. Though let's be honest, a fedora and even a leather jacket is much much cheaper than a functional and quality bullwhip. I've been doing doing this for some time and only owned one cowhide bullwhip and as awesome as it was, I had to sell around '08, '09.

Also, could also be the weather. Once Spring and Summer hit there might be more activity..... literally and figuratively. ;)


Great videos though!!!!

It's made by Andrea Tognarelli (The Vintage Hatmaker on Instagram). It definitely is a great hat, nicely made, sits greatly on the head. He works fast and well, I recommend his business!

I guess you're right, backstagejack.

I was considering only that I used to peruse the Bullwhip section even when I didn't own a real whip... It's always fun to see photos and videos of various whips.

Maybe Indy 5, if it ever gets made, will bring some activity here...


Cheers,
Bear
