Hey all I just thought I’d show you my first “non-budget” bullwhip. I have been hunting around for a while now and following the advice given on this sight and ended up at Louie Foxx’s bullwhips.org. Louie was really helpful. I told him I was looking for a 6-footer and wanted it mainly for sport-cracking. He suggested the 10 inch handle length over the Indy 8 inch handle. He had this one already listed online for sale. He had made it in December 2008. I paid for in on Thursday, January 29 and I got it Monday, February 2. I have only gotten to crack it a little bit but it cracks great. Now I just need to work on my skills.









(sorry about the image size. I tried to size them down but I don't think it worked )

I highly recommend Louie’s work, and he is a great person to do business with.

Happy cracking,

Ryan

Man that is a beast of a handle!!!

I really like the extra bit of leverage that a 10 inch handle gives you over an 8 inch handle. Those extra 2 inches make a lot of difference.

Excellent! That should be a very fine whip for target work. Enjoy it!

ya, it cracks really well. my kids are getting tired of me dragging them outside for practice. i feel like a dork because i have been taking it with me everywhere in my bag - you never know when you'll have a bit of free time to crack it.

Nice whip sir!
Louie does great work.

I usually have my whip bag in the trunk of my car and crack when I get a chance. I don't really consider myself a "dork" for doing that, more of a "whip nerd".

If you don't have a whip bag yet, get one of the whip bags that Joe Strain sells http://northernwhipco.com/Accessories.htm, at $24.95 they are a steal!!

A whip nerd???? I guess that's better than a whp nazi!

I've also discovered one of those over the shoulder message bags work great as a whip bag as well

Ya, I've got an over-the-shoulder messenger bag with two main slots. I use the back compartment for carrying my whips and the front for my work stuff. This bag seems to work pretty well - good fit for two to three whips.

Thanks Louie for the heads up on the whip bags. I acutally saw them the other night on your blog. They look pretty sweet. I might get one some day.

Happy cracking all,

Whip Nerd (aka - Ryan)

Yes they are Louie! I have two of them and they work perfectly! You will not be sorry you bought one. I only put two whips in each, but they say they will take up to six.

Crack On!
