Of course there is, he competes in them.

It might not be new, but i thought it was impressive and worth sharing.
Maybe it wasn't, i don't normally read the Chainsaws sub-forum.

I've been swapping chains for nearly 20 years but know i could not do it anything like that and were impressed at the amount of practice that must go into it.

We should get some of those chainsaw comps down here, get this industry a bit more lively and maybe more noticed.

He reminds me of a few young loggers I used to work with. When you run a saw 8 hrs a day- 5 days a week , you can get real good at it. Especially when a competition is coming up.

Amazing ,the kid must have practiced lots.
The guide bar looks like it has a small radius Oregon Double Guard nose on it which would help in getting the chain on.
Very impressive.
