Pictured is Branden Sirguy of Port Angeles, Washington. He is shown competing in the springboard chopping finals in Webster Springs, West Virginia. For those of you who have tried this, you know that swinging an axe while balancing on a springboard is difficult -- at any speed -- and Branden is fast.
When Branden was in college, he studied forestry and competed in college-level timbersports. Today, he works as a forester and is a rising star among professional timbersports competitors. Look for him in upcoming Stihl Timbersports Series events on TV.
