If you’ve told one lie, stolen anything, or lusted (which is adultery of the heart), you’ll be found guilty on Judgment Day and end up in Hell. But there’s good news: Though we broke God’s Law, Jesus, the prophesied Messiah, perfectly kept the Law, fulfilling all righteousness. He paid the fine for sinners ( that we could never pay ) by suffering and dying on the cross-absorbing the wrath of God that we deserve. “For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.” Then Jesus rose from the dead and was seen by hundreds of eyewitnesses. Today, repent and trust Jesus; God will grant you forgiveness and the gift of eternal life. God bless

You were incredibly down to earth. And you had an actual conversation with me. You asked me about my military service(haircut gave me away), we talked about that, how I was into powerlifting in the military. It was a decent conversation that only lasted 5 minutes. But you took the time to do it. You have accomplished something that will take a long time for someone to beat. I'm glad you survived it. I hope the next person that accomplishes it(if they ever do) has you sitting in the front row, or closer, supporting them. I think thats the kind of person you are. Best of luck, mate. Be safe.

You can clearly hear the difference in axe swings when a pro is doing it and when Eddie does it, tbf Eddie is doing great by himself being new to the sport and he's still fairly accurate but when the professional Glenn swings his axe you can hear it cutting through the air! Eddie is powerful and his swings do good damage but I don't hear no air getting cut through... And the pure respect he gains after a log is so wholesome, no matter how much trash talk is said at the start, he gives in graciously when he's bested, mad respect to Eddie for being a good sportsman!

[@bozhidardimitrov3573]

I was thinking exactly the same, Eddie has the power but the sheer speed of the guy swinging the axe was impressive and made up for the difference in body mass

[@mattlacdao3807]

i think that was the pro exhaling with every swing not the axe

[@bunzeebear2973]

I noticed that Eddie was not hitting spot on, so it would not chip until that happens.

[@partypyro6480]

While I do think the noise in part is the axe cutting through the air. Anouther possibility is the pros hand sliding along the handle of the axe as it goes down. I’m not a professional wood cutter but I was taught when using an axe that you should put one hand below the blade and one on the bottom of the axe letting the hand beneath the blade slide to the bottom during the swing letting gravity do the work. It’s something I noticed Eddie was not doing. He had both hands at the bottom lifting the full weight of the axe bringing it up, and having less control of the axe on the swing itself. It’s probably the reason he got so winded so quickly too but does show his strength being able to lift that axe so many times that way… honestly really shows how important technique is when handling these tools.

He goes right out of levering it from the wood into that movement. I also noticed that both the professionals have very very fine tuned breathing techniques.

Kudos for Eddie having a go at woodchopping. That sport has everything to do with experience, technique and stamina. It began in Ulverstone, Tasmania, Australia in 1870 when two axmen had a £25 wager as to who could fell a tree the fastest. The world's first woodchopping championship was held in 1891, at Bell's Parade, Latrobe, Tasmania. The fastest timber sports underhand chop by a male is 12.01 seconds, achieved by Brayden Meyer (Australia) on 17 September 2022 at the Australian Pro Championship 2022 on the Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia.

Would love to see this guy have a go in an Australian tree-felling event, where chopping a vertical log while standing on a narrow plank/board set into a notch cut in the trunk about three meters from the ground. It's the most spectacular event of all. "The object of the event in the modern day arena is to climb the tree pole by cutting “board holes” and placing special tree boards in the notches to ascend up the tree in a spiral fashion. Whilst balancing on the top board (3 boards high) the axeman cuts the block half-way through (such as in the Standing Block events) and then descends bringing the same boards back down. The axeman repeats the process up the reverse side of the tree concluding by severing the block in half. The 3 board trees are approx. 4.6m from the ground including the block being cut. The axemen stand on a board at a height of approximately 3.1m above the ground." Description from the PAAWA website.

I'm very confident that guys were competing at this well before 1870.

[@chriskirley7185]

You seriously claiming that competitive wood cutting started in Australia? Right of the top there are documented cases of it at fairs in Europe that massively predate the arrival of Europeans in Oceania.

This is so fun to watch! I love the humbleness, genuine wholesome fun, and camaraderie on display. You bring a blend of entertainment and learning, combined with just overall good natured competitiveness that is just great to watch. I admit I had the wrong perception about you in the past due to the old feud with the Mountain, but now I see that maybe I was too quick to judge especially considering that was a beef between you two (whether it was real or for the ratings doesn't matter) and you are a stand up guy and natural entertainer, an inspiring force of nature.

i love watching eddie realise how hard some of these activity's are, as someone who has been using axes since i was a young kid i personally think it never gets easier you just learn to get in the groove and just have fun chopping, your tiredness seems unimportant when you get in that headspace

[@lexidecimal9941]

So very cool Eddie trying this out and the series of sports exploring. Keep it up Eddie, this is terrific! Also love you showing the world the detauls and these great people. 👍

[@heilerko9349]

At 14:05 you can hear the "swoosh" the axe makes while coming down with such speed through air, what a sport!

[@collaboration3511]

Yeah, that's him breathing my man.

[@heilerko9349]

@@collaboration3511 Nope, if you listen to martial artists exhaling during punches and kicks it's nothing like that. I can make a miniature swoosh with even a kitchen knife. That axe is deffo making that sound in this video, the breathing out part is not the main sound source during the decent of the axe.

[@James-dontgiveuponJesus]

the beast has to be the most humblest guy I have seen in a long time, he is obviously and indisputably enormously strong and still has a top attitude and respect towards others, much respect to you sir

[@atthecore4560]

It makes total sense that Eddie isn't good at this. He's a brute and this is a sport that demands finesse above all. It was wonderful watching him take this challenge. It deserves its place as an official Olympic sport. Timbersportsmen are specialists.

[@MarshallMims]

I remember only caring about two shows on ESPN(3) when i was a kid. Strongman, and Timbersports. always curious about the overlap between the two, and would be interested see you doing them! Its like you read my mind!

[@Nick-rs5if]

Eddie's personality and sense of humour is enchanting. 😅

[@VEXT666]

Fair play, that looks easy on the tv but it's clearly not! Big respect to Glen and Jack and good luck in June and November 👍🏻 Eddie's videos are getting better and better 🔥
