WHIP MAKERS — LEATHER — UNITED STATES:
A fantastic U.S. Based whip maker. Joe makes a lot of my whips including the one that I used to
set both of my Guinness Book records of 222 cracks in 60 seconds. Joe has made me whips ranging from four feet to
25 feet in length. Joe is also responsible for the whips used by Haley Barry in Catwoman and the whips used in the movie "The
Legend of Zorro" starring Antonio Banderas. If you've
seen my show, you've seen Joe's whips in action.

movies, including "The Rundown" starring the Rock.

A whip maker and whip cracker from Tasmania, Australia.
WHIP MAKERS — NYLON:
Nylon whips are a great economical choice over kangaroo or other hides. Great for the beginner who may not have a lot of money to spend, and great for the professional who desires a good alternative to other materials not suitable for
some climates. Plus nylon comes
in some really cool colors too.
When I need a nylon whip for me or anyone else, these are the guys I go to.
