This should help prolong the trees life.

No messing about there!!!!

if he had done a fin cut with a little stick in the gub he would of jumped it further. he was lucky there to get away with it the way he did it

Is that the technique for the mythical mexican jump cut!??

how about just a back cut next time lol !!!! jokes

not sure marc, mike was telling me about it at the AA, i usually do a tiny gub, come back as far as i can with the saw before getting jammed(never been nipped yet)then come in from the back, the small gub snapps the hinge early, as it is going over so fas you can get a bit of distance with them. you want the 046 like a razor though, not cool with a blunt underpowered saw

Te mythical mexican jump cut???? prefere the dutchmans or flying dutchmans as i call it but runs a high risk of barbers chairing on ash..as ive found out!

you dont want one with too much lean matty, like one that has really stretched for the sky very quickly, the one in the video above was a bigy but not too much lean, and all the growth was at the top, so not pulling it over to quick

I'm not sure about the technique, but I am interested to learn what he was trying to achieve?

an early finish mate, plus how many opertunities do you get to do the real surge i used to just bung the guys on the 360's to just go and push over the trees on big sites and i would go for coffee and rolls. sweeeeeet
