Lets see the chainsaw ROOSTER TAILS

[Cut4fun]

My Biggest so far

Remember I am just a homeowner and havent a real clue what I was doing. Only the big trunk sections were left when I got over there today to take the pics. 40" to 44" where last cut was.

I know for a fact he's running full comp chain.....so I think it's just the quality of the picture.

Here's my 270 Honda making a cut on the same block.

Very Good point DC. However not being a tall man of your stature I usualy stand off to the side on larger wood or setups that are slightly high for me. I also Like to step around to where I have the slice comming off of my left hand when possible as this permits me to cut over the top more accurately and see if I went far enough. As for your bike saw pics and rotax pics I am definently behind the saw and locked it tight, espcially when I have to change lanes. As the open class racers know, short of being a mountain of a man the saw will back you out of the wood. That being said, Great Pics you posted.

Here's a V-8 making a run at Estacada, OR.....Maybe this is why Rotax developed his bad habit of running a chainsaw to the side....Notice how they stand sideways when they cut.....Hahahahahahaha!

 

[Rotax Robert]

Here is Bad Habit Bob with Gypos 088kd. I finaly get behind the saw but now I am too low. I'll keep practicing.

Awesome Pics, never seen such good pics in the cuts before anywhere, especially in the big wood out west. Thanks for posting them.
Also some wild looking hand built saws too.

I normally detest quoting pics, but in this case it's to discuss the pic therefore appropriate. Is it just an optical illusion, or are there aactually three distinct "bursts" of chips in the air? Is that the result of typical skip-tooth chip discharge, or am I smokin' ? Maybe both...

It was mis-firing :hmm3grin2orange:

 

[Dennis Cahoon]

Rotax.....You should pose like this with your V-8......but leave your shirt on........Hahahahahahahaha!

 

[Rotax Robert]

Dont worry DC, the V8 is big enough to cover my belly but probably not your mouth.

Here's a good roostertail......hahahahahhaha!

Damn! I'll bet blue cap guy was picking splinters our of his arse crack for a week.

Robert I have to agree with Dennis. That is the first time I have ever seen anyone race side saddle. If you look at the cut you was also sawing on an angle.



Rick

 

[ShoerFast]

What is that, about a 60" DbH? (Diameter belly height)

 

[Rotax Robert]

Rick, thats because my belly gets in the way, most pics of me cutting are just of the saw as I have to stand over by the crowd to cut.

Here's Jim Taylor of Redding, Ca.....at McCloud, Ca. running a 101 Mac. Somewhere in the 70's. Jim was a master at the big cut and the man to beat for years.

 

[Dennis Cahoon]

Now Jim Taylor in the 90's, at the Stihl Timbersport Series in Grass Valley, Ca. running a Rotax, and one of the first men to beat Rick Halvorson straight up. From left to right, Mikey Forrester, Matt Lentz, Rolin Eslinger, and Lee Williamson, timing.

 

[Dennis Cahoon]

Here's Doc Parrot.....at McCloud, Ca.....running a 101 Mac lefthanded and his arm around the pipe. Doc was a excellent hotsawyer and ax thrower....now gone, but still remembered.

Could someone explain this one. Appears to make a bore cut first, then up, then down all in one cookie.

You've explained it perfectly. This type of cut is done quite often at shows on the west coast. It shows operator skills, saw speed, and chain cutting performance.
