The big event in this little country town. The woodchop (dutch: houthakken). Big guys, big axes, and lots and lots of power.
Logs of solid hardwood cut in pieces in less then half a minute.
Big fun, impressive to see, and a great gathering of people from all over the country.
And I managed to get a little video on Youtube. have a look: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xjkpRNYZjKM
a little explanation for the dutch readers: the first axeman (the one in the back) starts at count number 10, and depending on their handicap, the next axeman on his own count. The last person (big Pete) at count 33.
It is measured that a single blow from the axe can reach up to 35 ton pressure !

Whow, hebben zich daar nog niet vaak een pootje over geslagen?
Het 'lijkt' erg wild en niet onder controle. Jan probeer het aub niet.
Groetjes ook voor Pam.
