Well if you live in an area where there are lumberjack contests, and experienced competitors it's really a lot easier getting started than you might think. If you don't live in an area where there are other competitors, it's going to be a bit more difficult, but it still can be done if you $re willing to do a bit of traveling.PBrkSEndPara:::b::@(,;:@::F YƤ1PBrkSEndPara::@|(,;::::@::F YƤ1 FamiliarizationPBrkSEndPara(,;:$U:]::@@::FZ YƤ1The first thing you should do is to start going to the competitions, and meet some of the competitors. Talk to them, ask them about their equipment, find out how they got started. During the course of your conversations find out if any of them live near you (in lumberjack sports a two hour drive is considered nearby). If you're lucky enough to find a competitor who lives in your area, don't pester them to death at the competition, but rather make arrangements to meet with them at a later date where they train, and see if they would be willing to let you attend their training sessions on a regular basis.PBrkSEndPara$U:]b$U:^(,;:@::F YƤ1 PBrkSEndPara$U:^W(,;:/$U:]@::Fi YƤ1yBefore jumping in your car and heading off to one of the competitions, lets take a moment to consider which competitions you want to attend. Do you want to try and attend the larger, major competitions; or some of the smaller regional ones? Well, if you head out to one of the major ones, like the World Championships in Hayward WI, you are going to see some really great competitors and some awesome competition, but unfortunately the intensity level at the major competitions is so high you may have a hard time establishing a personal dialogue with any of the competitors. Our advice would be to try and attend some of the smaFller regional competitions where the atmosphere is a bit more relaxed. PBrkSEndPara(,;:/b(,;:$U:^@::F YƤ1PBrkSEndPara(,;:v::4(,;:/@::F YƤ1 EquipmentPBrkSEndPara::4 $U:{(,;:H::FZ YƤ1 Allright, you .re willing to do all of the above, and now you :re wondering what equipment you will need, and how much it 7s going to cost. If you are going to start out with say Axe Throwing, and one of the Chopping events, you will need a throwing axe and a couple of chopping axes (one for training and one for competition). In addition to the axes you will also need some safety gear like toe and shin guards. Most likely you vwill be able to buy used gear from some of the other competitors, at a cost of between three and five hundred dollars.PBrkSEndPara$U:{b$U:|::4@::F YƤ1 PBrkSEndPara$U:|(,;:$U:{@::F< YƤ1If you re more interested in the sawing events you are looking at a substantially larger investment. A practice saw will cost you around five hundred dollars and a decent competition saw will run around twelve hundred dollars. Our advice would be to just buy the practice saw until such time as you were absolutely sure this was something you wanted to pursue at a competitive level.PBrkSEndPara(,;:b(,;:$U:|@::F YƤ1PBrkSEndPara(,;:(,;:(,;:@::F YƤ1 Physical RequirementsPBrkSEndPara(,;:(,;:e(,;:@::FK YƤ1fFinally, you may be wondering if you have the physical ability to become a lumberjack competitor. Don t fret if you're not six feet tall and capable of bench pressing three hundred pounds, as 85% of being a lumberjack competitor is dependent on technique and training, and only about 15% on raw, physical strength. Mind you, we re not saying that strength isn t an asset when it comes to lumberjack competition, what we are saying is that it can be beaten by superior skill and technique.PBrkSEndPara(,;:eb(,;:l(,;:@::F YƤ1PBrkSEndPara(,;:l(,;:(,;:e@::F YƤ1 Competition LocationsPBrkSEndPara(,;:1$U:(,;:lH::FZ YƤ1`If you feel this is something you still want to pursue go to the North American Lumberjack Guide  s web site (   www.starinfo.com/ljguide/? ), about halfway down the page you will find a section called  (Lumberjack Contests in the United States  the links there will take you to pages that list most of the competitions currently being held in North America. Before going to any of the contest listed there, you should call ahead to verify the dates as they are only updated when, and if the contest\ organizers send in the updated information. Some of the dates may be one or two years old.PBrkSEndPara$U:[(,;:l:GD::F YƤ1PBrkSEndLHntl:F8$U:YƤ1 YƤ1 %U:oPHnt%U:oA %U:mYƤ1l:FNtfyl:Gl:FHHldYƤ1HHHldYƤ1OVQtrYƤ1e YƤ1StryYƤ1_ YƤ1 YƤ1/YƤ1ddStory YƤ1 YƤ1YƤ1YƤ1YƤ1mStryYƤ1_ YƤ1 YƤ1/YƤ1ddStory YƤ1 YƤ1YƤ1YƤ1YƤ1mStryYƤ1e YƤ1 YƤ1/YƤ1dYƤ1$Story YƤ1 YƤ1YƤ1YƤ1YƤ1mStryYƤ1_ YƤ1 YƤ1/YƤ1ddStory YƤ1 YƤ1YƤ1YƤ1YƤ1mStryYƤ1_ e1, YƤ1/YƤ1ddStory e1, YƤ1YƤ1YƤ1YƤ1mStrye1,e e1/ YƤ1/YƤ1de1+$Story e1/ YƤ1e1-e1-YƤ1mStrye1/e e1B e1,/YƤ1de1.$Story e1B e1,e10e10YƤ1mStry28S e1H/YƤ1ddStory e1H2929YƤ1mHHldYƤ1JHHldYƤ1IVPtrYƤ1YYƤ1mHHldYƤ1N ::HHldYƤ1G Qv1HHldYƤ1LHHldYƤ1P 2:VPtrYƤ1ZHLayYƤ1V<YƤ1uYƤ1u@HLayYƤ1U<YƤ1c1@HLayYƤ1W<mYƤ1mYƤ1@HLayYƤ1X<YƤ1YƤ1@VPtrYƤ1\YƤ1VPtrYƤ1[YƤ1uVPtrYƤ1^mYƤ1VPtrYƤ1_YƤ1VPtrYƤ1`YƤ1VPtrYƤ1aYƤ1VPtrYƤ1bYƤ1HHldYƤ1KHHldYƤ1Q 1YƤ1bVQtrYƤ1RYƤ1uVQtrYƤ1Se1CHTHrYƤ1M2;YƤ1VQtrYƤ1f 28LongYƤ1cFramYƤ1c1#YƤ1YƤ1U Default Frame @YƤ1YƤ1Frame$Default Frame StyleLGeoHHLSclLMarLBorLBckLCol?p= LGutLJoidLSdwLRelHHSEndFtrLe1.Ke1+YƤ1u@ e1=e1+Footer $ e1/&l:NLHiec1#LGeodHLMarHHgf LBckLColp= LRelSEndHdrLe1+Ke1.YƤ1u@ Pe1.c1#Header $ e1,&l:QLHiec1LGeodHLMarHgf HLBckLColp= LRelSEndFramYƤ1YƤ1YƤ1UDefault Drop Cap @c1mYƤ1Frame$ YƤ1zbDefault Drop Cap StyleLHieYƤ1LGeoz$z*LSclLMarLBorLBckLColz$p= LGutLJoidLSdwLRelSEndPStyYƤ1kYƤ1mYƤ1o Note Initials @PSty&/2R&/2+::Outline (Not Indented)@" Left Justified Outline Numbering&/2+ YƤ1&/2+ParaYƤ1DYƤ1m YƤ1.....)))( )SEndParaYƤ1DYƤ1m YƤ1....?.?...
