I'm proud of the U.S. competitor, and sad for Canada's. He did well all day. That said, I think that Kody Steers looks to be the future of this sport. I was very impressed with him throughout the entire competition.

[@rhettcorbett3346]

Well done Kody. Did Sheffied & Tassie proud. Hopefully will catch up when im down in March.

Thank you very much for posting.

Absolutely love this, definitely an art and skill to it all. It was enjoyable watching it. Well done to all.❤

USA!USA!

[@PlaySA]

It's an amusing concept for a sport, but I enjoy watching it. You can tell these guys have worked on it for a long time. Takes strength, skill and discipline no doubt.

[@donnienicholson6062]

Very entertaining but the insanity doesn't start until they run up a 100' tree and fall back down with three contacts on the way.

[@STIHLTIMBERSPORTS]

Glad you enjoy watching! These athletes put in years of hard work to master it-even if it doesn’t always look as tough as it really is to outsiders. 💪

[@leighchamberlain25]

Well done Merica, guess it's your turn finally. STRAYA will be back to kick ass next year 😊

Doubt it.

I just learned that Jason Wynyard (NZ) died in 2023. He is, without question, the *Greatest Of All Time.*

As an Aussie it hurts me to say, but you may be right. I only found out 6 months ago and it shocked me too 😢

[@jacobcreech4382]

I’m a kiwi and only just heard, so sad and at such a young age too. RIP.

Yes. A sad loss. Kua hinga te tōtara o Te Waonui a Tāne.

[@janieweyers6230]

I have technical questions around PB's and world records. The integrity of the event is spot on.

[@STIHLTIMBERSPORTS]

You can find all details about personal bests and world records in our database here: data.stihl-timbersports.com/Disciplines. If you have any additional questions, feel free to ask! 🙂

[@janieweyers6230]

I was wondering about the hardness of the logs and people upgrading their tools and using axes of their own preference, but I suppose it's like F1 where it is acceptable within reason. If a person has a PB on a small field or big field, it's still a PB.

[@STIHLTIMBERSPORTS]

@@janieweyers6230 At TIMBERSPORTS®, PBs and world records are always recognized regardless of the type of wood used or its hardness and moisture content. These can vary from competition to competition, as wood is a natural product. Before each competition, athletes receive a test block, which allows them to select the most suitable axes in terms of sharpness and material. 🪓

sure wish we could hear more about the details of each hot saw.. Very interesting

[@STIHLTIMBERSPORTS]

Thank you for your feedback! We’re glad to hear you find the hot saw details interesting. We’ll definitely try to include more insights about them in the future. 😊

[@boyce2525]

I've always loved these event's but believe hot saw is not something a lumberjack would use in the woods. It's a hard event yes but swinging an axe, that's what it's about.

[@STIHLTIMBERSPORTS]

@ You're absolutely right - the Hot Saw isn't something you'd find in the woods! Axe disciplines truly highlight the timeless skill and strength of lumberjacks, while each event brings its own unique challenge and excitement!

[@harmonicliving3507]

How the hell are kiwis and aussies so good at the underhand chop? the other dudes didnt even look the belonged on the same stage

Australia has a strange tourism office.......I've never seen a real forrest in any movie. Crocodile Dundee walked through some trees but not enough to support a timber industry.

[@LaughingDead]

What wood do they use?

[@STIHLTIMBERSPORTS]

For the World Championships, we use White Pine for the Single Buck discipline and Poplar for the other five events. 🪚🪵

[@TylerBecham-xr9is]

America son

[@mikeveine]

What do they mean by "after adjustment" further time?

[@cranken72]

The time is counted from when the saw or axe actually touches the wood not from the word go.

[@mikeveine]

@@cranken72 Thanks

[@STIHLTIMBERSPORTS]

Actually, the time starts on the word 'GO,' not when the saw or axe touches the wood. This ensures consistent timing for all athletes across every competition. The time is initially stopped manually by the timers and then verified and adjusted through the Competition Control Center for complete accuracy.

[@simonbarnard1861]

No idea what ‘ how these adjustments work?!

[@STIHLTIMBERSPORTS]

The first, unofficial time comes from manual timing taken directly when the wood is severed. This manual time is then validated immediately after the heat by a video judge using our video and timing system. Most of the time, it's adjusted slightly, and this becomes the official time for the athlete. 🪓

[@1530786]

Where can I get one of those jersey?

[@STIHLTIMBERSPORTS]

Unfortunately, these jerseys are only available at our major international events. Hope to see you at one! 👀

[@herzogsbuick]

"a ginger step-up for kody steers" he's australian, i think you meant ranga??

[@JohnDoe-xd7he]

Still chainsaws suck now that they've switched to fuel injection. I junked my new saw and went and found a good old carbureted one.

[@acme181169]

Exciting competition. Dreadful camera work

[@STIHLTIMBERSPORTS]

Great to hear you enjoyed the competition! We’re always looking to improve-what didn’t work for you? 🎥💡

[@acme181169]

@STIHLTIMBERSPORTS tbf its not your cameraman thats at fault, its your editor. Why show shots where the action is blocked because the ref has walked into shot? Somebody is responsible for missing the action.

[@STIHLTIMBERSPORTS]

@@acme181169 That’s valuable feedback we can work with-thank you for sharing! 🙌

Is there a more manly sport than this.... NO

Not sure it's really a sport but running with the bulls probably is.

[@jeffcombs2950]

Yes, any discipline of motorcycle racing.

[@John.Flower.Productions]

The format (increased point intervals) is nonsense. _Edit:_ The changes to the Springboard is worse. Ridiculous.

[@Anthony-nv7gd]

Um ok.

[@MartintxoEH]

world championship? come on, there is a lack of Basque aizkolaris there!

[@picmanjoe]

3, 2, 1, go? Really?

[@STIHLTIMBERSPORTS]

Yes, it's the classic countdown! 😃 Would you prefer a different start?

[@picmanjoe]

@STIHLTIMBERSPORTS You're timing to a hundredth of a second. Using a tone or bell to start would be much fairer to the contestants. Use some 20th century technology, for Pete's sake!

[@STIHLTIMBERSPORTS]

@@picmanjoe Interesting point! What do you think is the difference between a bell and a 'GO'? Our starting cadence is directly linked to our video and timing system. The 'GO' serves as the signal for the athletes as well as the entire timing system behind the scenes.

[@picmanjoe]

@@STIHLTIMBERSPORTS I think the difference is that a contestant can time the start of his first action with GO better than he could with a tone. If you're super good at timing your first action with the cadence and GO, you're golden. But if your timing is a little off, you may lose a few hundredths of a second, which could be the difference between winning and losing. Using READY, SET, TONE where the tone is NOT tied to a cadence would in my opinion provide a more accurate representation of the athlete's ability to perform the given event, not his ability to time his start with the cadence. I hope that makes sense. Anyway, thanks for listening!

[@iguanaamphibioustruck7352]

Bur why, did you need a filter in he tank as well as a screen in the carburetor except to boost the profit for the dealer.

[@cheifwhat]

It takes decades to grow a tree, seconds to cut it down. Do you see the problem?

[@STIHLTIMBERSPORTS]

We use purposefully grown industrial wood for all our competitions. The trees we use are fast-growing poplar hybrids, ensuring sustainability. After each competition, the remaining wood is gathered and recycled, and for every tree felled, a new one is planted in its place. This approach helps us balance our impact and support the environment. 🌱

[@gumble223]

Maybe don’t use another Tesla as the “other driver car ‘ great job fsd team ! Nice work come along way.

[@AnykeySkywanker]

"look at the pace Martens has". Yeah, if you didn't film his butt, I could look at his place. Also elimination is nonsense, everyone has different strengths and weaknesses. Unsubscribed.

[@VoraciousPhantasma]

Do you have a timestamp? I need to verify the shot got in the way of Martens pace

[@patat007]

He is on steroids obviously. Holy shit.

[@STIHLTIMBERSPORTS]

Who do you mean exactly? Don’t worry, we take this issue very seriously and even conduct doping tests after our events to ensure everything is fair. 😉
