Proof beyond reasonable doubt that natural selection has been tampered with for too long

Cool indeed.. I like the climber flying with the dead wood picks... Pretty amazing..

 

[pantheraba]

That was captivating and mesmerizing....cool to watch. Some of the shots looked like toys.

Now....why does the climber ride the deadwood pick? I have never seen that before...it DID look cool.

 

[SkwerI]

Think it through, Gary. The tree wasn't safe to climb until he got down to sturdier wood so he had nothing else to tie in to.

Thats the best tilt-shift vid I've seen, nice find McStink

 

[CurSedVoyce]

I hope if I ever get a crane job, I have a good operator like that. Seemed pretty smooth...

 

[woodworkingboy]

Interesting vid effect, I expected Gumby to show up with his horse pal. Never have seen a climber lowered attached to a pick before either...well maybe one time.

Wonder if he was attached to the pick or still the crane ball, or both?

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Crane ball ...... Wood was too iffy...

 

[woodworkingboy]

That was my bet.

 

[Fiddler]

Gumby's horse was named Pokey...

 

[Bodean]

Those guys were hella cool, I forget his name, but I have his card.
We met with Scott Chapple at a GTG at Leggitt, we all went off to climb this Reynolds Tree.

Sick Video. Loved the effect.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Whutta neat way to film a video!

 

[Burnham]

That was full-on cool. Thanks, Deva...great find.

Hahaha...Gumby...that's exactly what it looked like.

Re" attached to the pick or crane ball...that's what I was trying to wrap my brain around...I had a mental disconnect when I saw the climber lift off with the dead wood.

 

[Bodean]

Not my find, Pete Mctree found it. I met that guy super cool. We climbed a tree after the gtg.
I basically followed there lead.

 

[Burnham]

I have to believe someone has posted this vid before, but I couldn't recall seeing it...if it's a repeat, sorry.

[Jed]

Man that makes me sick B. Next time I'll hire an arborist!

 

[MasterBlaster]

I'd love to know in the History of Man, Saws, and Ladders how many times that exact event has occured? I know I've seen at least three of these same videos already.

 

[Old Monkey]

Homeowner + ladder + chainsaw = never good.


Wow! I went back a page and watched that tilt-shift video. That's the best tree work video I've ever seen. Way cool. I wish they had tilt shifted Graeme's Tehune job.
