Episode 1: It Begins - STIHL Timbersports Australia 2016

As the top 8 contenders converge on South Australia for the first stop of the STIHL Timbersports Australian series, all the athletes are eager to get off to a quick start and gain an early advantage. 50-year old Matt Gurr’s age defying performance in the searing heat puts all the athletes on notice that there is no time for settling in. They will need to be at their best from the get go.

I️ watched the rookie tournament now I️ can’t stop watching these. it makes no sense, just the amount of skill and time dedicated to something so unimportant makes it so interesting 😂

[@overkiller-lp8tw]

ture

[@TwoTall1988]

Nothing about this sport is "unimportant" lol. This is one of the few professional spots in the world that was actually born out of a real profession... logging. Though the tools have come a long way to the point that you dont have guys scaling trees with boards, this is still practical, and born from a real world technique

[@thibaultjaberg4658]

Not even so long ago the lives of many men and their families depended on those skills...

[@NiGGaZtcz]

U know what is unimportant? football, hockey and most of the sport disciplines compared to this :d

[@SuperChickenBurgers]

Both cuts... ARE GOOD! :D

[@vaderfloyd6926]

It's five in the morning!!!! Why is this so addicting?

[@Melo.maniak]

[@peteza7483]

The hardness of each piece of wood and the way it chops, or cuts is different for every piece...so i dont know how they can justify other than what you get is what you get so go with it...luck is involved

[@Jack-uz8ve]

H O W D I D I GET HERE 😂

[@Roseisatomato]

Same as all of us. You watched one video and now you can't stop

[@stoopidhaters]

So after the hotsaw, there should be the V8 Super Saw.

[@aldeshitta]

This is so incredibly sport I ever seen, has alots of kind of timber cuts dicipline that get me interrested, simply love this type of mensport so much. But one thing, does it look alike bit dangerous/riskful for both audience and athlete? Because, that sport, I'm sure very exhausting.

[@williamreffett5862]

Hay sthil never seen it spelled that way how about putting some actual competition with other companies fighting against you that would be a lot better than just a one-sided affair

[@Josh-im4yg]

Because its Sthil chainsaw sponsored event. Why wood they use any other brand of saws?
