If you would like any more information regarding our show No show is too big or small!

Centered around Mid-Wales & the Borders we present Displays and participate in championships at Shows throughout the UK and further afield. The sport derives from bygone days where chainsaws were not invented and man power had to be used in the forestry. These days the sport is based around using razor sharp axes cutting through lengths of timber (using an Axe or Saw) in either the fastest time, o

r (for Axe) minimum blows. The timber can be vertical (simulating a tree) or horizontal (the felled timber) – See pictures. Contrary to expectation, Axe Racing is not all about strength. Yes you need to be fit but speed, accuracy and cut pattern is more important. Something that is learned through plenty of training. If you would like any more information regarding the sport, show displays, or if you fancy having a go we run regular training sessions throughout the year and are contactable on [email protected] or alternatively 07508 500166

Providing all our equipment to work safely with chainsaws are our kind and generous sponsors- The Oregon Shop- www.theoregonshop.com
