What's the best (budget) Indy whip out there?

[Funky]

I know the David Morgan's are the best out there, but is there anything even remotely close that a collector could get without spending the big bucks? Performance isn't important as I don't plan on doing any adventuring in the near future, just something that looks good.

Yes. Paul was a sort of understudy to Morgan, and will make you a wonderful Raider's whip for FAR less money than Morgan. And Morgan is unwilling to make his handles in the way that he used to.

Here's a video of me, cracking a Stenhouse whip:

From a googled cached page, it looks like he moved to NZ so maybe he is changing his web hosting or something. Anyway, here is a link to the whip section of indy gear (lots of info & makers/suppilers).

I got mine from this guy about 2 yrs ago http://www.whipworks.net/ He goes by ecwhips over on the COW.

It's a 10ft 12 plait. I don't remember if it is cow or kangaroo hide. Thankfully, I got mine before he hit it "big" and got for a really good price (I think it was about $175 at the time).

Here's apic of mine (along with some other gear)

Same exact style as the indy whip and still cracks beautifully. I only wish I had more room to practice.

Thanks to WC for hosting.
