STIHL TIMBERSPORTS® U.S. Pro Championship 2021 Highlights

[@mr.roboto209]

This sport truly deserves more viewership

[@ibetrollintheybehatin6857]

Wht spot u takin bout

[@chuck0021]

The production of this event has a definite “Prestige Worldwide” vibe to it! Shit’s already badass… why they gotta cheese it up like that? The disco ball and smoke machine is killin me! 😂

[@STIHLTIMBERSPORTS]

🤣 Doesn't that look cool? 😃

[@Pawnintended]

@@STIHLTIMBERSPORTS No it doesn't. I have been watching the old videos by random KZbin recommendation (2017 and thereabout), and then decided to try find out if Matt Coger is still on fire, or that Rookie called Sven from Sweden. This is way too cheesy. Stick to the original format of going straight to the event. Chop-chop!

[@frankie1136]

Always loved when they aired these sports on TV as a kid. Glad I can watch it again whenever on KZbin now! I have years to catch up on :D

[@STIHLTIMBERSPORTS]

Great to hear, Frankie! Have fun catching up on all the shows and content :-)

[@sherpa6071]

I was part of the Timbersports, or Loggersports, team in college. Some provinces in Canada have college teams that train throughout the semester and meet up for competition 4 times per year - one comp. in Ontario, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Quebec. It was an epic experience that I wish more schools tried to organize. I tell yah, it takes a determined and unique bunch of people to voluntarily show up for practice every night during the winter. Chopping, sawing, running, throwing axes and logs... I'll always love that rag-tag group of axemen and axewomen. Respect to these guys for being such pros.

[@STIHLTIMBERSPORTS]

Great to hear - thank you for sharing your experience with us!

[@KillianDefaoite]

I love the fact that this is an actual sport

[@trueblack6760]

All guys looks so cool with the power and skills!

[@patricknoonan3610]

This truly is a sport.

[@iraqiforever3665]

Iam from IRAQ ..I like this type of sports because it appears the kind of men ..

[@jamesweir139]

It looked like the bipod stand pushed Hodge's saw out and made it cut at that angle

[@phelipeferr8270]

...é fantástico ver como os Americanos do Norte, valorizam sua cultura, seu trabalho, suas ferramentas, ...não vamos falar de politica, ...seremos mais poéticos. Os hábitos, as habilidades em madeira, a cutelaria, é um mundo vasto, de tecnologia e máquinas de alto nível. Top!

[@willyoung40912]

i can swing an axe pretty good, but this is just crazy

[@1d1hamby]

Nice job guys. Thanks for the footage 👣

[@STIHLTIMBERSPORTS]

You're welcome! :-)

[@patricknoonan3610]

I remember ESPS aired this stuff back in the day. More late 1990's.

[@yeungyeungjohn]

Thx so much

[@UnofficialLesTwins]

This is electrifying

[@wonderbucket1242]

how consistent is the difficulty of the wood to chop between the contestants?

[@eoinjoyce9446]

Can’t believe this isn’t televised

[@lenteja123]

Great sport. I love seeing it. To bad in Peru noone does it.

[@STIHLTIMBERSPORTS]

Maybe one day..... :)

[@fatbeard8072]

That was actually pretty kool to watch. A lot more goes into this then I thought. Is there a Lady's version of this sport by chance?

[@STIHLTIMBERSPORTS]

Thanks! Yes, we have active female athletes too! We will be streaming the US Women’s Championship right here on KZbin this December. Be sure to turn on notifications if you don’t want to miss it 😉

[@gophop]

This is cool!

[@keepingtheoldways]

Anyone know what axes there using and where I can get one

[@patricknoonan3610]

The event in (time stamp 42:37) is like the 100 meter dash. 11 sec flat is a standard to meet to consider competing in it. The times listed are right around running in it as a pro career.

[@scottsmith5323]

Great job

[@patricknoonan3610]

I ran the 400 meter dash. In outdoor track The last 200 meters I call gut check time. Put all your chips in.

[@mikeskidmore6754]

let's see them do that to a knotty Elm Log

[@STIHLTIMBERSPORTS]

@@tylerforeal1 Haha good observation! 😀

[@badboy4lyfe88]

I fucking hate the points system man, Matt Cogar has twice been the best overall, and lost just because of the triple points of the hot saw

[@STIHLTIMBERSPORTS]

That's why the hot saw is also called "the maker or breaker". How would you assign the points?

[@yourmother638]

@@STIHLTIMBERSPORTS more fairly across all events. An event that is less about skill and more about the moment shouldn't break a guy so.much compared to other events

[@jimihenrik11]

I agree. I don't really see the hot saw as more important than the other events. The Simplest solution would be to have equal points over all events. I know this creates dramatic tension in the end of the events, but I think it is less fair and less entertaining.

[@R2_D3]

@1:08:18 They had the placing of the names wrong...

[@miskee11]

3:25 "RNK"; should be "RANK". This abbreviated spelling doesn't work as a stylistic choice here, as none of the other columns are abbreviated in any way. This misspelling was repeated multiple times throughout the video. Other occurences of this spelling error will not be timestamped. 10:25 "FORMAN"; should be "FOREMAN". 10:25 "DISIPLINE"; should be "DISCIPLINE". This misspelling was repeated multiple times throughout the video. Other occurences of this spelling error will not be timestamped. 10:25 "JR"; should be "JR.". This misspelling was repeated multiple times throughout the video, but gladly not in every single scoreboard. Other occurences of this spelling error will not be timestamped. 22:55 "CHAIN SAW"; a better spelling alternative would be "CHAINSAW". 22:55 "PRETECTIVE"; should be "PROTECTIVE". 22:55 "REQUIRE"; should be "REQUIRED". 22:55 "PER THE INSTRUCTION MANUAL"; should be "AS PER THE INSTRUCTION MANUAL". 1:34:25 "WARM UP"; should be "WARMUP" or "WARM-UP".

[@STIHLTIMBERSPORTS]

Thank you very much for your feedback, we always appreciate support! :)

I bet you’re fun at parties…

Don´t worry, our athletes wear iron mesh stockings inside of their shoes for safety.

could they cut down a living tree that fast ? or only dry wood ?

I wonder how many toes these guys have lost in pursuit of wood chopping Excellence. These guys get so excited over a log , wait till they meet a girl.

why are they all wearing vans lololololol sick

Because they wear iron mesh stockings inside their shoes ;-)

[@corymiller9854]

Well done guys. I use to like this more but seems like such a waste of wood now:]

[@STIHLTIMBERSPORTS]

Thanks! We understand your arguments and can reassure you. We use purposely grown industrial wood for the competitions. The trees are fast growing poplar hybrids that are 100% sustainable. The remaining wood is gathered and recycled after all competitions

[@corymiller9854]

@@STIHLTIMBERSPORTS Ty for your reply. The use of axes and chainsaws are traditional and is lovely to watch. The style which we get these logs/trees matter for the longevity of the resource. Clear cut styles are more lazy then they are effective. Sending the lumberjacks out to the forest for competition is a better look:] Harvesting these trees are the harder challenge anyways and would be proof that you are maintaining sustainable practices. A hundred year old tree is not something that is obtainable for any man in there lifetime since we die before that. If you kill the younger trees getting to the 100 year old ones. Then this is moving backwards in time and makes it even harder to sustain inventory.

[@DevinDTV]

Whoever edited this together could really learn from how strongman highlights are put together. Instead of showing every single competitor, just show the most significant performances for each event. Seeing the same thing 6 times gets boring fast, and the interview after every single one is also incredibly unnecessary.

[@YungPrince2k16]

Just to add to your comment, strongmen competitions upload something exactly like this, the full event. They also upload what Devin is talking about which would be the competition “recap” which is a shorter usually 40min video of the best performances in each event. Cool to see somebody else who enjoys watching strongman!

[@STIHLTIMBERSPORTS]

Hi, thank you very much for your constructive criticism, we will definitely give it some thoughts.

[@some-dude.1]

@@STIHLTIMBERSPORTS no way. Sure, make another shorter, top times video, but keep the content long, we love it!

[@benschilling546]

The way they score this was terrible. You should have all the competitors the whole way through the competition and give the same amount of points for each event

[@johnnyliu7105]

fucking bs they don't let you go again if your equipment fails.

[@sle2979]

$700 axe? What a joke😂

[@STIHLTIMBERSPORTS]

These are hand-sharpened and razor-sharp axes. They are specifically made for competitions. :)

[@daveyboy6985]

Near where I live in New Zealand, they hand make these axes by order , I would say they would measure the handle to the individual. Yep big money, compared to your cheap wallmart axe. Scary sharp.

[@zerolook7120]

crap, let him chop the Russian stone birch into chocks with his super ax and then we'll see

[@dickhitswater4836]

Chop fossilized redwoods with a hatchet and we’ll see. Works any way you want, there’s always a tougher challenge to be had, doesn’t make the last one any less difficult.

[@dixienormous943]

Yeahhhh but what is that wood. Its kinda like the blocks karate guys break. Its manufactured

[@STIHLTIMBERSPORTS]

@@dixienormous943 In order to guarantee best possible chopping and sawing conditions for the STIHL TIMBERSPORTS® competitions it is significant to ensure selective harvesting of wood from equally grown trees and plantation 🪵

Kindly.. what is type of axe 🪓?

[@STIHLTIMBERSPORTS]

Hi, these axes are made specifically for competitions - they are not suitable for forestry or garden use. The special axes are hand-sharpened and razor-sharp. They weigh approx. 2.5 to 3 kg and are about 80 cm long. :)
