Foster: the man the myth the legend!

Fozzie!

Give that man a beer quick

We haven't heard much of Peter Foster.....assume he is a brother to David?

Well done big man..😊

The big man wins again...

David has obviously been practicing on his wife.

~6 seconds faster than the second finisher. That's 10% faster.

Amazing display of skill by two of the very best!!

Awesome woodchopping by the GOAT. Not so keen on the shrieking though . . .

Bloody amazing that right after this, David sat down in his hotel and penned "After the Love Has Gone".

Thank you for uploading this

why are they all swinging left handed?

Bloody Legend

One heck of a man and a great axeman. 👍🇦🇺

Imagine one of the axes slipped.

Am a bit concerned with the safety here,I can't see any protection for the participants chopping except of course the one that we see closest to the screen.What happens when one misses a swing and looses grip of the axe hitting his co competitor?😼 Edit.......…....He is not safe too 😔

How come these guys still have toes?

I could've used a chainsaw with a head start and still would of lost 😞

Sensational chopping.

the guy can chop

I’m connected to him

I reckon these guys would be no match for the average young bloke of today! Bwahahah!

:)

Man's got strength Jesus

I counted 50 strokes... fuckin brilliant

With a gut like that I thought he was going to have a heart-attack.

Judging by the sound there must be one or two 'David' fans around. Sjeesh

He KNEW he was dominating without even looking at the others too. And those swings, damn!

An utter cutting machine!!

Bloody beautiful!!

Love how they are all cheering for him like parents watching their kids at the footy

Dave Foster is the king

Put a blade in a mans hands and watch him excel.

Legend

David Foster is incredible

Amazing! Thanks for uploading. I wonder what happened to contender no. 7?

Straya 👍

My father Cut with Ron among others in Tasmania for Australian Newsprint Mills. Thanks for sharing this.

Was that Clive Clyde McIntosh?

Saw his 15 yr old son yesterday in a heat of the felling. Started as back marker on 29 and beat men 2 and 3 times his age, A great performance. Hope I see him when he grows up!

Hi Steve No Sorry mate. I got these old ones from the National Film and Sound Archive. I did a quick search today for "Tom Kirk", only got one result, so maybe you should check that out. Also you could give them a call or visit them and have a talk to someone, they're pretty helpful. regards Aaron Youd

No worries. He is featured in a few of the videos I've got on here

what a great old video...thanks for posting :)

Love it! 1. David Foster 2. Nelson Parker 3. David Bolstad 4. Bruce Winkel 5. Pat Hooper. I can't tell if 6 is Laurence Hoffman or Peter Dingle. 7. Mel Lentz 8.. Matthew Gurr

@WVAxeman Jamie, I trust you found the others! I've got plenty more. Upload them all is the plan. I remember you mentioned that you had some old world series videos from the 70's. Not sure whether you would want to but is there any chance you could forward me some copies. I'm not wanting to post them on KZbin without permission, but I do love watching them regards Aaron Youd

Aaron - thanks so much for adding - looks like Doug was 2nd and Ray was 3rd! If you have any more of these - particularly of Merv cutting standings, I pray you upload them! All the best, Jamie
