STIHL® TIMBERSPORTS® Series
Established in 1985, the STIHL® TIMBERSPORTS® Series assembles the world’s top lumberjack athletes to compete in
the Original Extreme Sport. The Series is seen by over 20 million viewers annually in over 62 countries around the
world on networks like Eurosport and ESPN2, where it is now recognized as the second longest running show behind
only “SportsCenter”.
Athletes compete in a variety of disciplines based on traditional logging skills to determine the best all-around lumberjack.
Disciplines include hot saw,
single buck,
springboard chop,
standing block chop,
stock saw and underhand chop. Two additional
specialty disciplines were added in 2005. The boom run features the world’s best lumberjlls demonstrating speed and agility,
while the vertical pole climb thrills audiences with a 60-foot vertical sprint.
While based on tradition, the STIHL® TIMBERSPORTS® Series continues to build the future of lumberjack sports with the STIHL® TIMBERSPORTS®
Collegiate Series. Seen on ESPNU, the Collegiate Series boasts more than 52 schools, each selecting their best lumberjack to go head-to-head
in four professional disciplines. The winner from the five qualifier events and one wildcard pick compete in the Collegiate Championship to
determine the collegiate victor, who earns
an automatic place in the following year’s STIHL® TIMBERSPORTS® Professional Series.
