This is how you break in a black whip...

Post by Gorak »

I have had this whip for some time but have not been able to post up a review until now. And I took several regular pics and then, by my daughters suggestion, decided to go this route instead....
It is an 8 foot Australian in black. Made by our very own Jeremy. Congrats to him and his new website. This thing is awesome! I compare it directly to my Bill Kelso Relic Hunter.. this whip, although brand spanking new, felt alive and broken in right outa the box. It rolled out almost on its own and cracked just about by itself. It is a very light whip, so much so that I thought the box was empty when it arrived.
Here are the close shots..

And here is a fun clip....

Please excuse my skills as there was powerful Gulf Texas wind blowing and this was the first time whip cracking in a cape! My daughters got a huge kick out of this and I hope you guys do too, it was fun!

Jeremey`s whips ( this isn`t my first) are top-notch. As I stated before, my best compliment is to compare it to my Relic Hunter. It is the Bill Kelso of whips and one that should be added to anyone`s collection. It was built and shipped out much quicker than I was expecting and Jeremy`s customer service is top-of-the-line. :notworthy:
Just visit his website and look at the gallery and it will inspire you to place an order.
Thank you, Sir, doing such a great job on my whip. I really love it! \:D/ \:D/ \:D/ \:D/

That clip is awesome! The lighting is perfect too with you being almost in full silhouette. Reminded me of the first 10 seconds of this. http://www.traileraddict.com/trailer/ma ... ro/trailer" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

VERY NICE! I enjoyed watching your little video! Considering how much the wind was blowing & the fact that you were wearing a cape, I think you did quite well! I just ordered a ROTLA style whip from Jeremy a little over a week ago. I CAN'T WAIT to get mine! I know it'll be a nice addition to my whip collection. Thanks for showing your new acquisition! :)

First of all, thank you so much for the review! It's so nice when people do that and I really appreciate it!

Second, vaderjeff1744, I've already done the preliminary work in your whip :) I've prepared the core and cut out the bellies. I have a couple other whips in line ahead of yours but I'm thinking it'll be 2 weeks ( or less ) from now :)


Thanks again for the review, and you did great considering the wind!
