Thanks 3000!
Here's another piece of history, in today's time.
I didn't even know about this local event from last July until last night. Ha ha!
They claim "Manitoba's first ever lumberjack championships". And I have lived right here in Manitoba most of all my life. I was vacationing with my family on the east coast last July so probably explains why I missed it.

But anyways I made claim 20 years ago having started and organized Manitoba's first ever lumberjack championships as the pic of my T shirt at the bottom shows!
Good round of hotsaws in this video.

That is priceless ;D

The 2 tropical parts of Canada, the west and east coasters are dealing with ALOT of snow. Big blizzard out east with about 3 feet in the last 10 hours. West coast has had a big dump and still staying for a couple of weeks now and road traffic for the locals is unbearable :D :D

Watched video. Competed with Nancy and Lindsey at a few shows in KY OH

Raced with Jason Lentz and his dad Mel. OH KY WV   Lentz uses Dennis Cahoon motors =  DC Hotsaws

I tried that bowsaw racing. I had no technique. Plus I was using a ole Gille Levesque blade. It wasnt on par with the new blades today or 07-2010.

STS competitor Jamie Cogar Jr sold me the blade so I would have something to use.

Thanks for sharing this video. Nice!

That 250 Honda that Cecil Starr ran in the video was built by EHP Ed Heard. Too bad he cut out.

Cecil has the same idea I had back in the day with that portable homemade stage built on the ground.
But when I dropped the axe events I went to the fold up trailer stage I run now. Alot less work and time setting up.
I ran JP Mercier bow blades. Really quick.

Back in the shop from a busy logger sport weekend .
Gotta get some work done on the workbench before busy treework season starts up again.

The Yamaha hasn't run for about 10 years so presently replacing the rotted fuel and pulse lines. Overhauling  the carb and then get her running again begore I tear her down.

Got a brain wave to make it right hand drive. Stuck it in the vise upside down at about a 45 degree angle.
I'll rotate the stator plate and coils 180 degrees. Install a starter rope spool on either the rotor or sprocket.
With the engine now running in reverse rotation I have a right hand drive rotating sprocket.
I'll remove the handles. Put a new top handle between 2 new side plates. 090 rear handle mounted down under the carb. Carb flipped over with diaphrams on top for better fuel fliow feed. Intake manifold flipped so carb is level.
New pipe routed down and to rhe right . B/C and new bar pad a bit more level.
So what do you guys think?

That time of year again to freeze at  the stock race deal you manage?   The womens best time ever beat the mens best times?
Yep a woman beat the men's this year and she was the last competitor after 2.5 hours of cutting on the same chain and wood.
At the start of the men's the 550XP's were running brand new Husky .325 chains.  Sara Germain came up at the end and blew everyone away. Tall blond good looking school teacher in her late early 30's.
Turns out she was born and raised  in northern Manitoba and then taught school in a small first nations village in  the rain forest of coastal British Columbia. Lots of exposure to wood and saws.
You never know who comes up to my competition..lots of surprises. Never got a picture of her as the photographer never showed up for the prize presentations.

On going issue at our Trappers Festival as my logger events are drawing bigger crowds then what the trapper events are drawing. Bunch of old board members trying to keep the loggers events low profile. >:(

Just adding this tidbit from 1986 of Ron Hartill 7 time Hayward World Champion Lumberjack and 2 time winner of the Homelite Tournament of Kings.
In this Idaho competition  he's running a 135cc B-Bomb kart engine.
In B.C. Canada where he lives, 140cc is the hotsaw displacement limit.

Just putting it out there that my hotsaw project is on hold for a bit. Will post more pics and its progress ASAP.
Just got back from London, U.K. and if anybody out there has never made a trip there, make sure to put it on your to do list.
You won't be disappointed, wonderful place. Even ran into some arborists working at the London zoo as my 3 daughters witnessed in the photo. Great bunch of guys!

Nicest pic Holmen, we can see cutey ladies here. My daughter used to learn at the Glasgow Art School, the year before the last she came home. She says it was a very nice place to walk around in London.
