California getting with it?

Hello Guys
I hear the wise rulers of California are voting soon on whether or not to allow kangaroo products to be sold legaly in their fair state.
I hope the decision gives the go ahead for this idea, I think it would calm the nerves of the whip traders who have been selling into the state regardless of the ban. It seems there is a hefty fine if the authorities decide to get nasty.
Has anyone else heard about this impending decision or when it's due to take place?

Here is a recent photo of one of Terry's whips a 17 ft. bull with a 12 inch. handle 12 plait.

A lot of the photos are like this with just the handle section especially the longer ones, Terry's whips don't like to be curled up like a piece of rope particularly when new.

There was an unusual whip design for him with these latest shots, I'll post it next when I get some time .

all the best ..........littlejohn

Terry's whips don't like being curled up like pieces of rope when they're OLD either. ;-)

Have a 6' Jacka whip and the transition is STILL as stiff as a '78 F150 Leaf Spring!

First I've heard on the California thing. Aussie Saddle, which retails Jacka's work is in Malibu, and I know LOTS of whip performers and stunt folks who own Kangaroo whips, (Brian Chic, Anthony DeLongis, and Vic Armstrong to name just a few.) So, it sounds like one of those laws that just never got removed, but is just never enforced anyway. How odd...

Awesome looking whip, by the way! Happy cracking!
