you lucky bastard.

That is MY whip(in my heart anyway!)
Yer just lucky you have more money than me!!!! Teeheheheee

Lets play on the playa this year.

I would suggest a nyoln whip you can get a very high quailty whip 6 ft for about $120.
there is a whipmaker here in fl 21st century whips google him he makes the best nylons I have ever used..expect to wait at least 6 weeks to get one of his whips though they are in very high demand .. I have used whips made from just about every well known whip maker
when I was doing non fire whip compitiions.. I can remember showing up in Dallas with two neon green customs made 6 ft 21st century nylon whips.. I mean these people were laughing at me me for pulling these whips out of my bag..Sadly by the end of the weekend
and 4 medals later most wanted to know where i got the whips so they could buy some.

I love nylon whips you can get them wet use them in the snow mud or whatever and other than discoloring them it doesnt hurt them I even used one in a swining pool once with a very speical girl but ill leave that story for the fetish tribe..Roo hide or leather whips take alot of care when using in a wet envorment

1st chocice 21st cenury whips in Fl tell him Riz sent you and he will charge you dble hahahaha..Tell him NOT to wax the whip he will try to talk you out of that but his whips are twice as fast non waxed

2nd choice Rhett kelly out of Ga

those are your 2 best nylon whip makers that do whips pretty much full time

If your looking to spent 300 to 500 bucks for kangroo hide whip Vitcor tella snakewhip.com
is the best in the states.. Mike murphy murphywhips.com or peter jack whips also are world class whips I have used them all..and have whips made by each of those whip makers hanging on my walls but for practice i prefere nylon. If im going to tear up a whip on practice id rather it be a 120 whip than a 500 dollar one. Stay away from those cheap leather $80 whips on ebay they are pure crap and will fall apart withing a month or so

Now to comment on teds post Yes I am wacked I fully braid my whips. the only difference between one of my whips and a leather or roo hide whip it i use fire proof matrails.
Our Fire whips are REAL whips 6 plait belly and a 8 plait overlay ( ted I braid it twice haha) that is why they handle like a real whip. because it is one.. I can pull off some of my harder 8 and 9 crack routines with one of my fire whips.. I can also take the rosebud off your smokey treat and then still cut it 4 or 5 more times before removing your lip..If your looking for the response and handling of a real whip in a fire whip Im the source.. If your looking for thepretty fire balls and flame effect and are not really worried about getting multi cracks and a real whip feel Ted is your source for that prop plus you will save about 100 bucks and you will prob get it about 5 weeks faster. As much as I hate saying anything good about ted ( just kidding) if your planing to really abuse your whip or use it on rough surfaces such as pavement or concrete his rope whip will prob hold up better than our braided whip. and it wont hurt your wallet as bad when the whip fails

One more thing about our whips they are rebuildable (Pi would know if he would ever send his back) as long as you dont damage the core or belly we can rebraid the outer layer for less than half the cost of a new whip.. I have been using the same 8 ft core for the last 5 years I redo my outer layer about once a year..


Wave if your just starting go with a longer whip 3 fters are fun but they move real fast too fast for most newbies I try to start newbies off with a 6 ft whip because of the extra length you can acctully see how the whip rolls out and that teachs you how to use it proper. once you understand how the whip works and mostly where it will end up AFTER you throw it..The shorter whips become real fun when i use my 3 ft roo hide whips my 2nd and 3rd cracks have already popped before I can even think about them. whip position is important if you plan on keeping your ears and eyes.learning that on a 3 fter will be a a very painful experince..

welcome to the world of whips check yahoo for a group call whip enthusiasts ( if you cant find it Pm me I will send you the link) that is an international whip group they hold whip gatherings all over the world Much like when we get toghter for fire jam ..You will find the people at these gatherings very nice and helpful most will not only let you borrow thier whip to try but show you the finer points of that style of whip.. I always suggest a newbie attend one of these whip enthusiasts gatherings before buying a whip the reason for that is you will find just about every kind of whip made and from all the best and not so best whip makers .Whip are a very personal thing and a "feel thing" try some different whips then pick what you thinks feels best in your hand and your wallet.
