Whip Basics. The Forum

Here is the last whip I finished- a 5 foot exowhip for a young fellow's 15th birthday It's always exciting to me to make whips for young people, hopefully they never loose their interest and they can help cultivate the sport into the future.

That kind of reminds me of Minecraft. The first thing I thought was Creeper Face, which would be SO COOL by the way. I want a creeper whip now.

I've heard of Minecraft, but I know nothing about it- I remember last Halloween, it was awkward because a bunch of kids were dressed as minecraft characters and I had no idea what they were talking about. Yeah, it made me feel old. I was like, "Is this what it was like for my parents when Transformers came out in the 80's?"

Tyler, that's another great-looking whip. (Not my colours, but still great!)

Creepers are green guys that love hugs, but if you touch them, they explode. they are always sad. I feel so sorry for them...they are my favorite

Love it! Those colors really pop!

Thanks Y'all! Err... Jessie, is this- for kids...?

Minecraft? its all ages. I know adults that are just as addicted as 5 year olds. It's fun, very old school. David plays I think. I don't, simply because I am too ADD to sit still for any games. I am a Wii fan. I like to watch and see what the kids make in Minecraft though

So it's a building game?

Yes. Kind of? Hm...its free. Just go online and explore. Like I said, I think David plays and he can explain better than I can. My kids build worlds and host worlds and you dig for stuff and build stuff.

That's beautiful, Tyler! Wow those knots..

Hmmm... Maybe I'll have my nieces show me when they visit in August. As a general rule, I "Just Say No" to anything that takes me away from whipmaking or drawing. No cable TV, I quit playing video games years ago, etc.

Thanks Rachel!

Tyler, another beautiful whip.
I love those colors.
When I was a kid , in the 60s my room was painted in blue and green..... big swirls.

Thanks Ron! Very Groovy, to be sure!

That's so nice, very festive!

Tyler that is a very cool Exowhip. I agree that building whips for children is the best. I love to see their faces light up with excitement on that first crack.

Thanks Erik (Good to see you!)

Thanks Roy!

And here is the Seattle Seahawks 5 foot Exosnake:





The colors are Silver grey and neon green on the carapace, and electric blue wavelace on the thong.

Tyler, I'll bet when it cracks it says, " GO SEAHAWKS" .

Ron

I love the color combination, really cool.
