Whip Basics. The Forum

Here we go - the money is on it‘s way and we can (slowly but surely!) prepare for next year. I found the place for the WB Meet & Greet in 2019. And it is only about 8 to 9 minutes to walk from my home. I discovered it by pure accident. But first things first. Those are the members (and none memb...

I really don‘t like Rachel. Every time she brought up some new patterns and/or color combinations, I say to myself: „That‘s it. Impossible to find anything new, now...“ And what does Rachel...? She finds new patterns and color combinations. She proves me wrong all the time

Jessie has sent me all the money from the PayPal account to me. And I transferred it to my bank account. And tomorrow - monday - I will transfer the whole amount to the dog shelter. It is in total 672.39 Euro . Or 778.06 US Dollar . The strange numbers result from the fact, that some some of you sen...

The Dog Shelter Donation Campaign 2018 is over. A lot of great folks donated prizes. And a whole lot of people bought tickets. I know that we had way more tickets than prizes, but like I said before - the real winners are the doggies. And here is the place for you to show your prize to the world! If...

Thank you, Scott; I will for sure

Flemming - it is not important how good you are at whip cracking.
You found new friends and discovered a beautiful blue sky.

That is what really matters.

Here we go. Around 26 minutes of nonsense, drawing, despair, fun and some happy dogs. Here is the link to the Video: https://youtu.be/x3rpsmp2zxQ Important! There is no list of winners. You have to watch the video. And you have exactly two weeks to watch it. Because after two weeks the prices are go...

A video, yes. But not from the M&G

I was only pointing into the direction of the whip. You did the rest...!

Robby

That was made for me. To be specific - it was made for the WB Meeting. I wanted to teach a way more elegant and slow way to crack a whip, than the usual "Machine Gun" style. "A Whip Crack...loud as a gunshot!" So I asked Rachel for a whip, that rolls out not only slow, but very s...

I was only honest to you. You know that I would‘ve told you if I would think otherwise. But that whip I can literally feel in my hand when I watch the picture. Really good work, Mark.

Robby

In my opinion you have exactly the right relation between thong and handle length. A bit shorter - useless. A bit longer - useless. I think I can tell from that picture that you have nearly the perfect balance. Very good work. You say „Room for improvement“ ...? Definitely. But not much. That‘s for ...

That is definitely a typical Roy Partin whip. Strong, powerful yet elegant and precise.
And a very lucky rodeo queen!

Robby

Being not a master myself - Robert quoted me right. Every time I crack a whip I learn something new. On every (!) crack. There is so much poetry, balance, life and new things to discover; even in a simple circus crack.

Robby

I like the conical, simple yet very practical shape of that handle. And a thicker cup is better than one which is too thin. How does the whole thing behave when it is set in motion?

Robby

Thank you Rachel

Robby

Perfect, thank you! When Tyler posts his donation in here, we are up to date And when all the others do the same, we‘ll have a nice pool of prizes for the lottery in September!

Robby

A big „Thank you!“ to Georg, Jyri and Ethan for their donations for the dog shelter lottery 2018. That makes three whips/donations. Three is better than two, sure. Or one. Or... Time to speed up things, folks! At the WB Meet & Greet 2018 we will have the drawing of the prices. And it would be re...

2020...? That‘s a lot of orders. Congratulations, Tyler. I remember our first contact, long years ago. Since then you asked me for advice. Now you are booked out for years. That‘s what I call a success. And - good to know that you will stay with us, Pardner

Robby

I think that this image fits just perfect in here...

I think, Tyler should bear the name of "Pattern King". I mean...look at his "Bele and Lokai" twin whips. Not only complicated and perfect (!) plaiting, but the same thing twice - and mirrored! And now those beauties. I am with Robert, when he says that he's not a huge fan of pink...
