STIHL TIMBERSPORTS® U.S. Championship 2012 - Springboard Chop 

Because that's what sportive people do

any ax accident hit human??

Mai Nezuko Her Vang not sure what you’re asking, but these guys wear chainmail socks under their shoes.

@@dumper87 I dont wanna be there cause if it ax broke off the handle it may fly into people like the movie final destination....

It’s because they’re still being timed and ranked so even if they lose that round they still get placed

Ever heard of martial arts or strongman competitions?

What’s a manly sport

@@AssOnHoustonTexas a sport that literally spills testosterone

Same shit I was thinking but I would guess they are so experience they know how to make the proper cuts to have the plank stick.

Because you have a Virginia

You say that as if like wood aren't made in the same way

Imao steve can break a block of wood from a 6 blocks away

Mmm...🤔 the circus does much more and do high rise stunts with no equipment. Has anyone ever died in this competition?

That's more German.

What happend to him

@@0ldbob he got cancer sadly, and passed away shortly after a couple years ago. 🙏🏻 Rob Weibel I believe. Great guy, even better teacher plenty of stories. Also one of the strongest people I’ve met.

Hahahha

old man strength

They got a small forged hook so they stick in the wood, so as long as the cut is deep enough, in theory the heavier you are, the better it will hold since it gets stuck deeper in the wood.

lol that is not at all how it works. why pretend to know?

ZombieFighterOf2001 they dont look likethe have hooks

It's basic physics dude lmao

White pine or quaking aspen. If you actually used those Tui competition axes on soft woods like spruce even, it would chip very quickly because it's only designed to chop through aspen, white pine etc. They also get dull very quickly regardless of the steel because of the low sharpening angle.

Most folks run a Tua Atahi or Keech racing axe

@@STIHLTIMBERSPORTSUS Thanks.... Thanks a lot from Bangladesh......

I dont think there is any wood that is as hard as Australian hard wood. We call stuff like Oak medium wood here. Ironbark gets its name from the sound it makes when you hit it with an axe, and the bark is softer than the wood. Mulga wood makes great break pads in cars, lasts for years, if you can find someone that can carve up a set. We dont just break axe handles. I've shattered or twisted a few heads in my time too. Even a good Plumb head can shatter if not sharp enough. An Oragon or Sthill Chainsaw chain will go blunt before my chainsaw uses a tank of fuel cutting dry bull oak or she oak.... Yet it will cut Regular Oak (European acorn variety) for 20+ tanks of fuel, and last for months on pine.

I dont have a competition axe, they are huge! the average axe at hardware store is 2kg, the competition versions are 5kg and made from top grade tempered steel. They have much more blade length 200mm or so, compared to around 150mm for a regular axe. With the comp versions being much thicker all over. blade sharpening angel is also a lot flatter (between 30 & 45 deg) so they dont get jammed, compared to a softwood axe (20-25 deg). Good hardwood axe's have a bulbous bit just behind the cutting edge, then slim a bit before widening to accept the handle. Which helps prevent jamming, and breakage.

Here you can see a woman's comp axe. www.smh.com.au/nsw/women-with-an-axe-to-swing-get-in-for-their-title-chops-20130324-2go1p.html Probably 2.5 - 3kg Note the Woman broke three axes on one knotted log if you read the article. This shows a slender softwood head (left), compared to a slightly bulbous medium wood axe (right). A Hard wood axe would be a bit thicker again just back from the edge. lh3.googleusercontent.com/_QnIsgflDDLM/TQjnOa4BHtI/AAAAAAAAA5U/6UYHiwiLBpU/s800/018.JPG If the Woman above had the second or third axe down in this pic, The mens axe would be the big one. i45.tinypic.com/124k9ip.jpg Although I think in reality the woman had an axe bigger than all these. the big one looks like a 2kg.

Here is David Foster 26 times Australian champ. With one of his axe's media2.apnonline.com.au/img/media/images/2013/05/16/25-1728375-lis160612primex01_fct1021x628x3x29_t460.jpg He can get through a 350mm hardwood round in 8-10 seconds, with 12 chops or so. Saw him at the Melbourne Show once. Was amazing. Here he is with his big 5kg axe www.heraldsun.com.au/news/gallery-e6frf7jo-1111120508921?page=6 Here he is with regular people for scale. www.abc.net.au/elections/tas/2006/img/20060317_axman.jpg Foster would be 6'6" to 6'8" tall. Maybe 25-30 stone. When not chopping wood, he likes to drink beer. This ones an action shot about 4 chops into a comp. images.smh.com.au/2011/09/09/2614097/art-Foster-420x0.jpg Note the size of the "woodchips" flying away.

Racing axes are thinner than work axe's. They dont like nails or other junk though.

Takes a lot more balls and strength than basketball.. That's for damn sure

@@Bspstroke_ basketball takes lot of stamina and on strength wise I bet you can't even throw ball on half court / to dunk or rebound ball.

@@gandulfnopls7834 ok boomer

@@DiekePad calls me a boomer while guy above saying wood cutting is more of a sport compared to basketball. Are you braindamaged?

Gandulf nopls do you realise how much stamina and strength this would require? Have you even chopped down a tree in your life?

Would you like a summary?

Quantas árvores sendo derrubadas por causa desse esporte Idiota... 🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️

@@paulomatos2776 olá tudo bem?... Não, não irei pq FNeto é um idiota útil. E não sou contra esporte, só não acho de acordo inventar um esporte como esse onde prejudica o meio ambiente...

Mas pra afirmar isso você precisa saber se realmente as árvores são derrubadas apenas para isso. O esporte é de tradição e provavelmente eles cultivam as árvores para esse propósito, sem desmatar florestas.

@@paulomatos2776 Excelente análise da sua parte, mas qualquer tipo de esporte acontece de forma corriqueira ou a cada tal qual época. E uma árvore leva no mínimo 5 a 7 anos, as que crescem mais rápido. Então Karem. "Não, não apoio esse esporte, e tenho total direito de opinar.

Not really, aspen is a cheap wood that grows incredibly quickly and is practically useless for much of anything.
