What would you guys recommend?
I do guitar flips over my band mates and other stunts, so you can see why I would need a wireless guitar cable.
Links would definitely be appreciated.

search ebay if you are on a limited budget. From my experience Shure seems to have the best. But in this area it is very important to keep in mind that you will get what you paid for. If you are doing all those stage anticts you want something top quality thats not gonna cut out.

The Shure PGX14 is a solid unit. I've had one for a few years with no real problems. You can also buy a right angle cable too if you need one ie: Gibson LP guitars and whatnot. The PGX runs about $400+ at Guitar Center. Definitely get the extended warranty because the cable that comes with it will need to be replaced over time. I replace mine about once a year.

I use a Samson Airline Bass unit. I'm not sure if they make it anymore or not. This thing can legit take a beating.

You want to make sure to get a UHF unit and not a VHF unit

go sennheiser, the cables (1/8" to 1/4" male to male) are easier to fix after you snap them doing your "stunts". They are also easier to find and cheaper than the cables made by Sure. The Sennheiser recievers are also alot more user friendly than the ones made by Sure.

Haha, this reminds me of when my bassist tried to do a roll over my guitarists back (after seeing it at a Fall Out Boy show and thinking it was super special awesome.) it resulted in him wrapping his leg round the guitar cable accidentally so as he went round he took the guitar with him, guitarist took the body of the guitar to the face, bassist fell onto his face, hilarious for me and our drummer.
Our guitarist left a few days after, don't think he likes the idea of being smacked in the face by his own instrument.
A really easy thing to do would just to look for a few models on a guitar store website (i used gak.co.uk but i'm sure there's a similar US alternative) and then searching for reviews on some of the mid ranged priced ones to see which ones are the best. It saves a bit of money and can normally help you find a few hidden gems.

Sennhieser has a lot of great wireless systems for guitars in every price range... have been reliable as well. Although I have no idea if it will stand a bad flip landing haha!
