Hat Band Whips??

[darksideman13]

Does anyone actually own one? Do you like it? Ive read you can really crack them. Any video?? Thanks

[purewhips]

Hey yeah the hatband whats are cool and they can crack. It wont be too loud but it will give off a crack. Ill ser if i can make one by wednesday and post up a video of it. I used to make them all the time.

Thanks a lot! Ive been curious because my old hat band fell off and I thought this might be an interesting replacement

I did a search on hatband whips... pretty cool. What is the normal length of these?

[purewhips]

Hey sorry on the delay. I don't know what I had the past few days but it took a great toll on my self. Guess I got really sick. Being a bread man, I just cant call in sick. Yeah it ***** but the pay is good. So I took these past few days to recover. I am almost done with it. I'll post up some pics of it and shoot a vid also. this one is about 24in.

Can't wait to see it in action!

[purewhips]

Ok here is the pic of it. I took it next to an apple ipod touch. I haven't shellacked the whip just yet. Got the video, now waiting on youtube to process it. I will have that up asap.

Oh and it an 8 plait ending in a 4 stand fall hitch. At 2ft long on the plaited area.

Nice...

I should get one but i would need to get a new hat! I have an old Cavalry hat that i wore in the ARMY but it has all my army pins and stuff on it that it has become something special for me.

knowing me though its only a matter of time!

Awwww... It looks like a baby whip. So cute!

...I'll bet it would still hurt, though. Great for close quarter battles or just making a horse gallop (as long as you dont hit the horse...).

[purewhips]

Yeah youre right it will hurt. The first video i did it hit me on the chin. OOUUCCHH!!! So i did this one and kinda backed away from that last crack. Guess i need to do a blooper reel. Haha

That WOULD hurt! Did you get the Harrison scar? Hehe...

Just this morning, I accidentally hit my head with the whip while doing the overhead crack... the end of the whip scraped the top of my head. It really stung! I even held it for a few seconds checking if there was any blood because it really hurt. Good thing there wasn't any. It just really hurt.

[darksideman13]

I love it!! Its a lot louder than i really thought. Im interested in one though if you get a price...

[EvilDean]
