Club Obi Wan

Here are some pictures of me getting my 10' KOTCS whip, and a 7' 16 plait De Longis style whip, with the 13" handle.









I'll put up some more pics of the whips later for all to see!

Can you believe it? The day HF announces he's into the next film, my new whips arrive!

DarenHenryW

Yes, a strange day, and a lucky one, and a happy one!

I agree. Apart from when you've got to pay Customs charges before the post office will release it ...

BTW, I really like how the KOTCS whip rolls out in that last pic. Smooth!

Daren, congratulations on your new whips... they look fantastic in those pics. Please do post more when you have the time.

All the best,

Aldo.

I'm still waiting on Terry to get the permit to send mine, but he just sent a pic. I'll have to post later.

Daren, you look super stolked in the first pic holding the box, its awesome; like a kid on Christmas. Those are some nice whips, and the pics in action are awesome. Enjoy those beauts.

You guys beat me to it, bu I will say it again-Package Day is the best. You know its been a while since I got a package-I think my purchasing finger is getting itchy!

Terry sure makes a great whip and those look to be no exception!

Now whats this - another Raiders Movie???

Daren


Congratulations man, this whips are very nice.


Best regards.


gaucho.

Could you make a video with them, Darren?

That must be a great day you get your whips and then Harrison announces the next movie.

Yeah, it was pretty sweet. But no kidding, my girlfriend broke up with me the night before, which really does hurt. So I took the day off of work to stew it over and deal with it, ordered a Raiders Jacket from Tony, since I was going to anyway and had time to kill, then read the quote from HF five minutes after getting off the phone with Tony, then got my whips in the mail that I have been waiting for since December! So, all in all, while I was and am sad about being dumped, it was a really awesome day. And I played hooky, so I was totally relaxed.

If my ex looked at my facebook last night, all she would have seen was pictures of me with my whips, smiling like a seven year old.

And yet I wonder why she broke up with me . . .


DHW

Way to go Daren!

Did you notice when you opened it up that it looks like a "sculpture" due to the binding being so tight? I will post pics of mine soon....

Crack On!
Allen

Yes Allen, those were great pictures showing the extended stiff transition of the whip. I like the big "grin" too

Jim

Can everyone see the slide show thing okay?

DHW

Eventually I'll shoot a video and put up a youtube link.

I can see it well. But please make video
Cheers

The only thing better then getting a new whip, is getting two new whips!

They look great Daren. I know I mentioned this to you already but congratulations on there arrival. on the pictures too, looks like you have been having some fun with them!

Dan

Here's another photo, plus a video.

Plus, in case anyone cares, my girlfriend and I are back together!

Awesome video. It was funny, though, to see a car flying down the street every so often. Do you ever get any noise complaints from the neighbors, or are they used to it by now? I never had any problems whipcracking in my old neighborhood because I'd been doing it for so long that people knew about it.

Yeah, I'm not on a main road, so there's not a whole lot of traffic. But the people in my neighborhood have never complained, and I think that since I've been at it pretty regularly for over a year now, everyone knows what's up.

Also, I'm a drummer, so everyone's pretty used to the noise I make.

I'm really liking that DeLongis styled whip! Post some more photos of it other than that one photo please.

I find it funny that no one will complain about the noise my whip practice makes, I mean after all what is so intimidating about a guy cracking a 10 foot whip as you approach him??

If you like Jacka whips, I will add my 10ft Austrailian whip pic too!



Crack On!
Allen

That's a beauty, Allen!

Thanks for posting!

DHW

Darren, show us that DeLongis style bullwhip too.

Did someone mention wanting to see some more Terry Jacka whips?



Ok, sorry couldn’t resist posting that picture.

Daren Those are great whips you got there! & Glad to hear you and the girlfriend are back together too

Dan

Dan-you have to be kidding me???? All yours???? Can I come over and play??

That is just a sweet pile of fun!!

WOW . . . Those are all beautiful. My favorite (aside from KOTCS whip, of course) is the brown one the middle--fourth from the right--with what looks like a 10" handle. That's the one I want.

I wrote Terry yesterday to tell him I want another whip. I figure it'll be another nine months before I gotta come up with the cash, so no harm in asking. I want a 5' whip with a 10" handle in brown. Brown that like the brown one in the middle with the 10" handle. WOW . . .

Thanks, Glad you guys like the photo. The 6ft bullwhip in the middle with 10inch handle belongs to a friend but the rest are mine, with another Indy 4 on order.

You make me sick ya know that.

Just kidding, but I do think you need to pay to clean all the drool out of my keyboard.

Don't have a Jacka whip but I have some pretty good Jackaesqe ones

Nice James
Who made the 12 inch handle "black" one in the middle? Louie?

Crack On!
Allen

Louie did make it, it's a 10" handle though. Steve Huntress made the Delongis up top.

kickin jacka whips! seeing all these makes me wanna hurry up n buy one from Western Stage props much to the dismay of my billfold! LOL

Hollywood jus curious bro, how do ur copies compare to real terry jacka whips? I know foxx makes a slick whip but maestro delongis once told me that they just arnt the same whip unless there made by terry j. any truth to that?

Peace

Intercept,
I've had the pleasure to handle some Jacka's and it's all about what you want. The Jacka Delongis I handled had it's transition so tight I literally could not use it. I tried Louie's 8' Jacka (I want this whip!) and it was about right. It was realllly slow to crack though. I think that both my Huntress and my Foxx whips have the right amount of tension in the transition. If I want I can crack them against the belly without sacrificing accuracy. There are many good whip makers out there and in the end if the rep is there, it IS a good whip. And if you're willing to wait you can save money by ordering from Jacka direct, http://theaustralianwhipco.com/index.htm and that money goes to the whip makers, not a middleman

It takes ages to break in a Jacka whip without "curving" it, but when it is ready to go, it is really a pleasure to crack.


Crack On!
Allen

Well , Dan I can see where you got your name from.

Thanx Hollywood

Peace
