That would've been the most cool thing ever! That (really!) great Exhibition and then the WB gang... The best of all - I would just sit in the shade, drinking my ice tea and watch the others teaching and demonstrating And in case anyone would ask for Mr. Amper, I'd point to Tyler, next time to Robert, then to Enoch, to Devin, to David and so on

Robby

Ohhh My. Very lovely indeed!

Thank you Ben

Here is a set of plain black stockwhips for Ralph (Hopefully Customs will cough them up soon!):

Very, very cool work, Tyler! That over all black gives them a very discreet look. They seem to be just simply black. But when you get closer, the details are revealed. Again - very cool! Thanks for the pictures.

Robby

p.s.
Why the hell now? And not four weeks ago? Coming weekend we'll have our yearly WB meeting. What a chance would've that been to crack these beauties...

Extremely stylish work, Tyler! Ralph is a luck man!

Robby, I do hope the WB meeting goes very well. I shall be with you in spirit!

Very, very nice once again. Did you keep the inner paracord strands in even for the knot at the base of the thong?
These are not so simple as they look. When I look at them and think about how I would make them (aside from "not as well"), I'm not sure of the answer.

Nice looking pair of whips Tyler

Simplicity is often deceiving if you don't know how something is made, or all the details behind it. Everyone appreciates complex and obvious things, but it takes us the enthusiast to appreciate the simple things.

Very nice work Tyler, I believe I saw the video as well and they look like a treat to crack.

Different length handles? I assume they weren't built as a 'matched' pair...

Great cool work Tyler!!!!!
I'm sure that these matched whips will crack very fast !!!
Again great job!!!

Very nice pair of whips!
Cool work Tyler

Enoch

Hi all,
I am very excited until I got the first pictures from Tyler some time ago.

Today the whips arrived the (first) german donate-distributor (?!).
I am still waiting for the Notification to fetch the package

Every day I watch the video and see them in action

I am still waiting...
If them here, I will make a video

Ralph

Beautiful whips with a simple and elegant style, great work Tyler and congratulation to these beautiful stock whips, Ralph.

Mario

Thanks Robby! And don't be so negative...For all you know, they came just in time for the M&G.

Thanks Robert! I know what you mean, I wish I were going to the M&G too!

Thanks Jonathan! I do keep the filler strands in for that knot.

Thanks Carl and Devin! Roger, I believe that is an accidental photography trick as these are the same length. The knots have some flex, I think one of them is just more compressed in the pic.

Thanks Giovanni and Enoch, and Ralph and Mario! Ralph, thanks again for the order and I hope you have lots of fun with them

OK, yesterday the whips came to me
I had so much to do, so I couldn't post it yesterday.

The whips are near to perfect! Today I tested them first time together with Robby and Enoch. Very easy to crack this whips!

The Handles have a little bit difference in length, but generally they have the same length and crack exactly synchron

Thank you very much Tyler!

I think the whips will be show on video from the WB M&G 2014, soon

Best,
Ralph

* looks around and whispers*
I made a couple of cracks with one of these whips (not enough experience for 2-hand cracking) and i really enjoyed it.
it was Amazing to see Ralph and Robby made them crack in perfect timing as one whip.

Enoch

Thank you Enoch,
but I does not have experience with two handed cracking, too.

These whips are my first matched pair to lern it

Best,
Ralph

I do no two handed cracking...! Never did...
