wrap handle would have made "attempting to cut the humboldt" so much easier.

He's demonstrating he is an idiot. Isn't it obvious?
If I used a saw like that all day my arms would fall off! Using the top of the bar like that puts all the work on the operator. What a bafoon!

I try not to pick on others because I know I make some bonehead moves every now and then, but that was hard to watch, especially with such a capable chainsaw.

The bottom side was probably dull so he turned it over to use the "sharp side"... LOL
.
I don't understand why he hacked up that face cut.

Thats why kids shouldn't use chainsaws without proper instuction. At least he had enough sense to wear some ppe. I did similar stupid #### when I was young, glad I survived it all to now know better.

Yeah and the sad thing is he says he's being trained by GOL.
if this was before GOL then ok... if this was after GOL then o boy :greenchainsaw:
The first few trees I dropped weren't so good, but I've got a lot better even without GOL training.
He said he's in GOL training so...

I wonder what his AS handle is 
I'm far from a flawless amateur, but I have no clue what one could plausibly be thinking to try and cut a face like that.
The tree had center rot, like a lot of big, dead ash do, and there was very little to no hinge wood. Yikes.
Also, I doubt that's a 48" tree.
This is what a 40" ash looks like, and this almost looks bigger to me (I'm about 6'2" with my boots and cleats on, for reference).
With hingewood even

All that time the sun was on the camera I thought was nap time - I think he'd find it easier to turn the saw over, use the dogs. Painfull to watch is right.

he ain't a west coaster unless he has a wrap handle and a tin hat
We have lots of hardwood here on the west coast.
That looks more like someone who has seen it done right, maybe even has a bit of time with a saw, and they are trying to learn for themselves.

I think the camera person was the smart one!!! After getting a close up of that nasty face cut they moved way off!!! lol But hey I've messed up too just not quite that bad...Hope he survives his youth!!!:monkey:
A wrap handle dosent have squat to do with a complete lack of experience,(what is displayed here)
