  1. I prefer to footlock to go back up, keeps muscles up and constant practise for comps Sent from my beotch
  2. My old lecturer Duncan Slater at Myerscough was really into this and he had a little system to rip branches off stems to see the mechanical properties and the weight needed to do so! Very interesting topic! See if you can find any work he has done. Sent from my beotch
  3. Some very good advice in here!! On straight up stems I got taught to do a horizontal cut on the side where the crane is going too take it away. Do the cut 3/4 of the way through the stem towards yourself. Then do a dog tooth/ diagonal cut down to meet the horizontal cut! When the crane pops it off/takes it away, the heavy butt will not come back and hit you because the remains of the dog tooth cut will stop the butt swinging in your direction (if something goes wrong) Make sense? Haha Sent from my beotch
  4. are you wearing tights?
