Whip Basics. The Forum

You call me a conspirator, Sir? A conspirator? How dare you! Okay... The whole thing is veeeeery undramatic, so to say. I was in need for a special type of whip, I will use to demonstrate/teach some cracks and techniques during the WB Meet & Greet 2018. Especially on hip-shoulder rotation and ov...

Ha...! You are the criminal mastermind which made me change my mind on the handle material and color...! I was talking about a special whip, I need for the 2018 WB Meet & Greet. And it was another wood, before I saw these amazing whips. Serious... Congratulations, Scott. That trinity is awesome ...

You kill me, Rachel. Those whips are...amazing, beautiful and each one is a little universe within itself.

I came to a conclusion...

Robby

Okay. You have my full attention! Not that I‘m curious...

Robby

Before I had one of Jessie's Practice Whips in my hands, I was a bit...sceptical. But the first few cracks made me a true believer. Those Practice Whips are really good to crack and the behave very nice!

Robby

You are more than welcome! I did not know that so many folks have problems with the Coachman's Crack. Probably you will find this video helpful, too...

Wolfgang - I made a little video for you on the coachman's crack. I'm sorry that I called you Timm while shooting. I thought it was your first name. I did not want to disrespectful. Again - sorry.

Thank you, Mark. Sometimes I understand the words but I don‘t get the meaning. I heard the word „feisty“. No idea. In Germany we have a word, that is „feist“. I thought it is the same. Unfortunately feist in german means fat... You can probably imagine, what misunderstandings those „things“ caused o...

Wot, wot, wot is this...? https://scontent-atl3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/fr/cp0/e15/q65/31895397_10204364029938243_4426153593132810240_o.jpg?_nc_cat=0&efg=eyJpIjoidCJ9&oh=ae12299958281e37f750ecb2f32ddc0e&oe=5B609D50 Like I posted in Roy‘s Making Of Gallery - I become more and more attract...

I don‘t know why, but slowly I really start to like those beefy, sturdy and impressive cow whips. I like the feeling they roll out. Once you told it where to go it starts its journey and goes exactly where it should be. Slowly, mighty and powerful. Just one question. You wrote that the sign is a Buc...

I did not know that I love that color combination until I saw it. Wood, gold, black and blue. And all those details...! You made good looking and really working whips with a whole lot of artistic facettes. But this one is - at least for me - the peak. In terms of design, colors and pattern you set a...

Ahm, Rachel... That applies to your work, too... I know your work.
Very well.

Robby

I love how the picture of the dogs makes them look like they're intently watching the whip's progress. They turned out great, Roy. Scott was faster than me in saying that :) It really cracked me up to see the doggies (especially when the green paracord comes up) looking with those critical looks on...

Finally another whip maker who states "100% roo" - and the it is 100% roo...! That is what I mean, when I talk about quality promises. Very good, Rachel. Very good. And I'm with Roy - I've never seen a core like this. A small step for a man. But a giant leap... :) Thank you for the pics, R...

And I did.

Robby

Step by step, as the french say :D You‘re improving, Flemming. Just keep on practicing. I can see some little points we have to talk about when you are here for the WB meeting. To show and explain to you in person is way easier than to type all of this. But you will see that you are going to make a ...

I'll explain it to you next time we talk, okay? It's a simple thing but it takes a lot of words

Robby

Some people don't like GreenScreen... I love it

Robby

And here it is:

I apologize for the delay, but - as you know - I had some health issues and so I'm a bit behind schedule. Anyway. This is an interesting concept but the whip needs a looooong time to break in. Trust me.

Robby

Oh yes, it is. And it is huuuge! Strange in some ways. But fascinating.
