Axeman: The Beginnings Of A Champion

Not everyone has the opportunity to sit down with their grandparents and learn about their life before you came along, let alone be able to capture it on video. This one is very special.
Bill Youd is one of the greatest tree fellers in the sport’s history, winning 62 tree felling titles which include nine world titles and 19 Australian titles...He captained the Australian team six times, competing in Indonesia, New Zealand and the USA. Bill’s world record tree felling time of 1 minute 18 seconds set at the 1982 Royal Melbourne Show is still unbeaten forty years later.
