He is SO happy with this whip. I had to hurry because I had to leave to go to school (and Lonnie had 3 dogs come in today) but I hear there has to be a photo op of the puppy whip with his dog, Lady. Ron, you really made his year.

I have to say it looks like very fine whips being shipped these days.

And i cant wait to get my first stockwhip in my hands

Tyler, I do, but they had to refill it all out anyway. It was just ridiculous. I really hate customs.

Jesse, quote from you:"Glad to hear it, Ben. Let me know what you think of it when it comes in."
I promise you that I'll post pictures and a video of your whip as soon as it arrives! My wife already told me that she'll be happy to shoot a video of your whip with a friend of her (with her performing and her friend filming).

Tyler, in many cases, coffee can have magical powers :)

Rachel, the picture of Garret holding his new whip is priceless - thank you very much for sharing!
Please tell him that I'm very impressed by his whipcracking skills (that video is awesome!)!

Ron, my compliments to your work, your donation whip performs fantastic!

Mr. Frank, congratualtions, it looks extremely solid and stylish!


All the best
Ben

Congratulations, Tyler. Keanu did a great job on this! And - of course - congrats on the whip, too! ;)

Here's a video of how it moves. Ron, it really moves great.

Ron's whip rolls out beautiful. It looks very balanced and straight. Well done, Ron, well done!

Allow me to paste in here what I posted onto the YouTube video:


I think that 5 out of 10 so called "Whip Masters" can learn from you. You have to learn a lot about the techniques, sure.
But you already mastered to crack the whip very easy. With joy and finesse. And that is more than some "experienced"
whip handlers ever learned. Thank you for that demonstration. I too think, that I saw something I really like in the way
you bring the whip over your head and down. You see - I can learn from you. Thank you for teaching me.

I recieved my whip for Sir Roger today. It is my first long nylonwhip and I may say, that I have never thougt that a nylonwhip could be made that beatyful. It looks marvellous and of course I had to go out in the rain and dark and crack it.

I'm a beginner but in my opinion it cracks like a dream. The underhand flick without any force or effort in first try. The horisontal and the opposite horisontal with nice "quiet" cracks - also in first try.

It is just wonderfull. When I bought the tickets for the donation I ment is as a donation and had no expectation of winning anything, but after trying that whip I am really really happy that I won.

It is the best "gift" for a long time - and now I can continue training independently of the weather.

What really made me glad was a written text explaining the tecnical data about the whip with a signature on it.

All the best to your all (and the dogs of course) - from a grown up man as happy as a child

Congratulations Flemming.
I have seen this whip in action on videos that he has posted and it does flow nicely.
Perhaps you could post a video of you using it too?

Flemming, that is great! Can't wait to see!

Robby, thank you! I posted Garret's reply to you. He and Hagen are working on technique, but he's really excited to have his first bull whip to practice with. Ron really did a great job!
