Great stamina to pull that off. Probably not going to split all day like that. Still a lot of work in short amount of time.
 
Looks like he just got served the divorce papers.
 
Were those Fiskars? Maybe it’s a promo ad. Lol. Just watching all that wild swinging made my shoulders hurt & was waiting for a slipped grip & an ax hurtling thru the air.
 
That thought occurred to me, I flexed my toes occasionally while watching
 
I wonder how many feet that guy has left now? That's a cool video, but I would head for the hills if anybody tried splitting like that when I was anywhere near them, haha.
 
If I did 1/10th of what he did I wouldn't be able to wipe my azz for a week.
 
Does he include the time needed to heal from rotator cuff surgery in his time trial?
 
anyone else think he’s headed towards losing a foot?

I was thinking of his shins, but yup.... looks like a, "hold my beer and watch this" moment!!!!!!
 
Would be interesting to see this guy attempt some 19" red oak rounds.
 
Right? I don't know what he's splitting but those rounds are popping awful easy.
 
All the pine rounds are perfect no knots. Get a nice piece of locust in there and watch his shoulder snap in half.
