I still can't figure out what exactly he thought he was gonna do. Did he MEAN to be a slingshot redneck? Or did he think he was gonna hold the tree from falling or something? WTFO.... Freaking nuts. |

I reckon it was set up to appear that he was shangai'd by the tree. Continuity was a bit mixed up! Could not walk away from that. When we tried it we had a more realistic result, we spilt our can!!!!!!!!!!! All the best to everyone. |

seems like some camera trickery there eh??? a sharper chain would have ensured a much faster result..

That little vid. ought to be in each and evry training course on how (not) to fall a tree. If it wasn't so serious it would be funny. Naah, stuffit. It was funny! |

NG, I thought you were a big fan of using the angled backcut? Or at least, you used to argue vociferously about its usefullness. Whats up? Are you changing techniques? |

It was a fake, look carefully, very carefully and you'll see that conveniently get the guy out of the clip, then there's a switch and the body is different. His shirt also had a distinct white print on the back not seen with the body that went over. Tis but trickery.

In hindsight, I did think he came up pretty scratch-less from it.
