Hello @Arczethus , thanks for leaving a reply on my comment. It truly is a gratifying experience that someone is willing to spend one's invaluable mental energy to care enough to the point of writing a critical comment on the vastness of random, useless TH-cam comments. Make of this arbitrary achievement what you will, if you so please, but dare I say that your life is now complete.
I used to go watch these blokes every year when I was a kid. Went home and chopped my skateboard in half with a Tomahawk. Didn't really think that one through...
As an Aussie, ill fill you in why theres lot of audience members. The Royal Easter Show is basically a yearly giant carnival that is based around Australian farmers and produce. Its also pretty boring, so everyone at the carnival is just wondering around doing nothing, they hear the finals for woodchopping is going on at the stadium and they think 'fuck it, might as well watch that' Then shit son, you get invested. You watch the burly country men chop wood like their life depended on it. Different events doing different kinds of chopping, different woods and then... it all makes sense..... it all comes together... The Sydney Royal Easter Show is fucking boring.
A lot less than completing this task much slower. That's why pros make it look easy, bc they don't have to waste as many movements/energy to achieve the same result.
its 3:20 am and i have to write 4 more pages for my genetics essay. my class starts in 6 hours. Have not slept for 18 hours. i dont know why i just watched man axe trees for 5 min. will update what i get on the paper soon
Lil boi ASIUS everyone has different interest u say it like its boring for everyone which it isnt when saying that u think something is good ro bad u must add in my opinion
Or maybe they're the only people that have made it through to the final..... 😑 I've seen this competition many times before. It has people from all over the world.
We're all actually very blessed that the one closest to us was the fastest, it'd be maddening if we had to focus on the further away ones and not know if he was lost in the crowd or not

Actually the 3rd guy from the left came second , 2nd guy from right finished after him and came third and their was a tie for fourth. Thoroughly enjoyed this video.
Joaquin Aguilar only one case I’m aware of where the head of an axe came off however this was because the axeman did not have the axe properly pinned and wedged as per the rules.
Grim Lim It must be so fucking humiliating knowing that a foreign trash can speak English better than you ah? Christ’s sake you must be so bad at life in general! Stick such axe in your ass!
For those wondering, they grow their own trees specifically for this and most of the profit goes to charity, so they are not harming the environment for no reason
I actually searched this up cos they used to do this in the town where I lived in australia when I was growing up. this brought back some funny memories. I'm gonna have to look for some chainsaw carving competition videos next haha
So... why exactly are they just cutting the top segment? I get that’s the whole point, but why? And is it not possible to get the job done without going back down and back up again?
i imagine because it's actually safer to take large trees down in sections rather than the whole thing at once. it would keep possible damage within a minimum range even if it's just for other trees in a forest. the modern lumberjacks/tree service people that i've seen take large trees down in portions. just speculation on my part though.
@@eeromakinen4222 yea but it wasn't always done the way we do it now. i was just thinking they may be doing it some old way but we have come up with stranger things for competition.
@@dielfonelletab8711 do the rules specifically say that you can only cut that top section? There might be a loophole in the rules that allows youvto skip climbing to the top.
@@xlonely_goatx4623 twas a lame joke yeah XD but honestly these competitions are quite amazing to watch i found a rooki championship 2017 that was really good there are all sorts of different categories, sawing thin sheets of trunk with a chain saw to chopping 2 foot thick trunk, sawing with a saw bigger than most men, chopping a trunk that you are standing atop of which i cant bear to watch it skyrockets my anxiety lol, its amazing though but all in all the spingboard chop, which is what this is, has to be my favourite category of the entire sport
So, lets figure out how far this will go with this youtube recommendation chain. I was impressed by the fact that seemingly there was 25k people who came from scythe lady video to the scythe festival one. From now on i am going to watch next 100 videos with this comment numerating my path. This is comment №2
If anyone's wondering, the reason they climb up the 'tree' to chop it down is because, historically, that is how you would chop down a real tree the fastest - there is a lot less wood to chop through if you climb a bit up a real tree first
J J doing it as a sport is weird... as in having thousands of people crowd around you to chop a tree... I can’t fathom how your mental state doesn’t find that weird
You haven't been up north have you? This is normal I'd say. Where I live we have three annual lobster races. The boat or lobster boat races, blind folded rowing race followed by the great crate or lobster crate race. Most oy last a few then I once a year a kid challenges the great record once in a blue moon one will beat it to be crowned king till the next.
It’s tree felling, there’s a number of other areas of the sport, cutting a log you’re standing on, cutting an upright log at ground level (you can see some set up in the bottom left of the video). I’ve watched this live, and although standing cut can be fun, tree felling is really the spectacular
Because the trees they log in Australia are so big around the base, it's much less work to cut the trunk 3 or so metres above the ground where it is narrower.
I'm more impressed by the wooden planks that hold them up.
Will Rueb they're called spring boards. It's an old school logger trick.
