The Ref looks like someone who worked at a Blockbuster

[@thorvanheghe4023]

I don’t know why but he triggers me

[@aaronm8143]

What’s blockbuster?

[@Mega3P1Kness]

He looks like Seth Green with glasses

[@projectdelta50]

I love all the foam axes being thrown at them in the end

[@jerryjeromehawkins1712]

Hahaha... yes! 🪓

[@nocturnalsimulacrum6385]

More sports should have themed celebration items to throw

[@dyltopher]

One of the best endings to a video I've ever seen

[@ayw5118]

the current format is way way too easy for trained throwers. they need to increase the distance, introduce categories such as double axe through, long axe throw, timed throw (like in Pistol) that'll make it into a real sport.

[@Happy_Shopper]

Yeah they could push this way further. I've been throwing axes for less than a week and I'm about this consistent.

[@johnfuller4491]

Honestly both of their throws look weak.

[@AlexPettit7]

@@johnfuller4491 its about finesse, not strength

[@jamesgentry13]

Have you ever watched pro darts? They should have a scoring system like that. It makes you move around the board a bit to hit your numbers required to win

[@jamesgentry13]

@@johnfuller4491 you must be one of those bros at the hipster ax throwing bar thinking you should use force and double handed technique

[@jamesgentry13]

I'm digging this sport. One tweak I think they should make is a scoring system similar to darts. So you don't have to hit the same target all the time.

[@brhyme92]

At this point I'll support anything... LETS GOOOOOOO SAMMM

[@TriedYan]

brhyme92 I feel you but I was hoping for a good comeback story

[@Stash_box]

I like how they clanked their axes as a sign of respect

[@jerryjeromehawkins1712]

Agree. At first I was like... "did they just do what I think they did??" Lol... 👍

Selfish Stockton correct. I had a buddy named Junior in high school also.

[@TheSolescope]

David Cycon just won this year's IATF International Axe Throwing Championship. I say it person, and I'm so happy I stumbled across this to see how far he's come.

[@CalisRemedy]

SuWuu 2:01

[@TeamDaemon1980]

*4:09* - F bomb. Uncensored. 🤣 It's like when Steve Kerr dropped the f bomb in the 1998 Finals after he hugged MJ. "You're f-ing unbelievable!"

[@Bob1944bob]

As far as I'm aware it's a disqualification if a player throws an axe whilst somebody is "in the lane"...hence the expletive. The ref let it slide luckily for him.

When can we expect to see the 30 for 30 on Sam Carter?

This involves throwing, so its almost the NBA. I'll watch it

[@FoulPet]

Better because it isnt sponsored by china

Previous month I was able to receive my first five figure income ever!!! I've been working for this company on the web for 24 months now and I never been happier... They are paying me $95 per hour, and the most important thing regarding this is that I am not really that tech-savvy, they only asked for standard insight into internet and key typing skill...Great thing about this work is that now I have more free time with my kids. I am in a position to dedicate quality time with my relatives and buddies and take care of my children and also going on vacation along with them very consistently.
