Hahaha!
i think ive had enough training to win first place haha
I can tell you know what you talking about 👍
i guess I am pretty randomly asking but do anybody know of a good website to watch new movies online?
@Hamza Thaddeus lately I have been using Flixzone. You can find it by googling :)
Great video bro, chocolately smooth! Well done again!
awesome job, know u've been aftr that for quite some time, congratulations :)
Wish he had up close shots and videos on his rigging.
Is there a brush-draggin' competition???
i think this accurately portrays the work involved in our trade, say right you get five cats randomly dispersed within a tree.................
A throwline tangling competition
There is in Hawaii's competition!
Samuel Luria lol I think we could make 1
Lol
Every time I watch it it's better than the last
I'm going to go out on a limb and say that this guy was amazing!
lol on a limb
jajajajaja
I was rooting for him for the whole video
James have the same smooth climbingstyle like Beddes and he hav so so many from him! The 2 see the trees with the same heart and have a unique symbiosis with them!
Your the man James, I'm an apprentice in tree work France 🇫🇷 💪.
Keep up the good work👍
All the guy under your screen, you critics but no one have seen your job! Go try with James In a competition and we will see 😉
Arboricalement
doesanyone know what kind of shoes he's wearing?
Schön anzuschauen mit wie viel Geschick und Effizienz du da geklettert bist. Konnte dich bereits einmal Live beobachten. Wie viel Rest Zeit hast du noch über gehabt bzw. wie viel warst du evtl. drüber. Oftmals ist es im Masters ja echt knapp bemessen und deine ruhige Rangehensweise bringt da mehr Punkte. Solch ein Tempo hältst du wahrscheinlich auch einen Arbeitstag durch und nicht nur 30min :).
Does anyone know what "pingling" technique is?
The force is strong in this one!!
This tree is huge! Crazy long limbs. What kind of tree is this?
It's nice. can we bay this equipments. because we have long palm trees in ALGERIA
Call or write sherrill tree. Lots of people use ropes on palms in California.
You can rope climb any Palm as long as it is not dead run your rope past the second row of fronds around the head of the palm, you can also rapel down instead of climbing down.. palms can be easy if you have this equipment but I always use spikes too since palms are clean until you reach the top! If you don't have spikes and you swing out it's a pain in the ass to regain composure!
I want to compete I could match that time
What climbing style does he do at the start ?
Single rope, one end is tied at the bottom of the tree
Foot ascender assisted foot locking
It’s ddrt (doubled rope system)
What kind of wild animals were there howling! Lol Very graceful and steadya
I do it all the time
It's not about the climbing it's about the picture you paint in the tree for the customer. It's about the qaulity of work for the customer. Im that guy. And I move like if I was in boot camp and I aint happy until the customer is happy. 😁🙂
Berry cool。 ✨
Aye!!...you did well Jameson!!!...Lol
for me this looks like belay climbing not tree climbing
Ayayayayyayayayayayayyyyyaaaaaaa
Got damned show off !!!
He should go work for asplundh they need some tree climbers
XApacheBoix haha i dont think asplunde would be willing to pay him what he deserves
Fast4SloW 717 no they wouldn’t, they just have tree climbers that don’t know shit
@@xRedApache lol, and outdated climbing equipment. They cant spare a penny for good equipment.
Brian Perez tell me about it, I been here for a year and they get mad if we ask for new chains for the chainsaws
@@xRedApache exactly, and if you want to bring your own equipment for climbing they wont allow it. They dont let me use carbines or pulleys, anything that isnt old school. Its not my problem they cant get with the times. "Safety first"....oh wait dont forget about production. Job briefings everyday, and everytime you change location. Just dont take too long filling them out, lol. And they always critique others work style without giving any input for us to improve ourselves. Basically telling us how to do our job, without them being able to set a freaking lifeline. What a joke, some of these Safety guys cant even put a climbing saddle on due to their size. How did they even get the job, by reading a book and passing a written test. Smh, ask them to climb a tree and remove overhanging limbs of the primary line, they cant. How can they enforce something they cant do themselves. I enjoy the work in a way, just trying to get by day by day at this point. I want to learn more and advance in being a proficient arborist. Goodluck, man. Safety first, fuck the production. As long as you are safe take your time. Cheers.
Does nobody climb without safety gear?
Am I wrong in thinking that he’s slow.Not to say he’s not a good climber but champion ships?i think I may enter
Look up his video of him setting the world record in the footlock. this event is not judged on speed , its about poise , safety and efficiency
You can also be efficient and have pose whilst being swift and speedy.foot locking is a quick approach anyways
My best advice is enter the competition and give it a go and see how you do.
Dan Cooke he’s far from slow... he’s won it fucking loads. Efficient as fuck
I was wondering if I was the only one who thinks he was slow.. I'm pretty sure I can do all that faster just using a Blake's hitch but I'm not exactly sure what are they judging on this competition.. if its only walk on the limbs and get to the targets Its easy but idk if youre supposed to be touching the tree with atleast one hand all the time lol
I love this. I want to learn.
i taught myself
Climbing Skills are great I wish I had some but one thing for sure long hair is not a good Idea by all means SHORT our inside the helmet
That guy in the background yelling “ARRIBA ARRIBA” is soooo annoying
What a load of bullshit. I am a tree surgeon and this isn't challenging. It's basic branch walking. Try climbing vertical limbs with no foot holds and hardly any lateral branches where you have to pull yourself up with brute strength until you reach a lateral branch to anchor into. I've done this on big willows, high up on wet and windy days in the UK. Far more challenging than this. Any other tree surgeons here will know what I am on about.
James I worked over 10 tree companies and still haven't found a match there ain't a climber out there that is quicker than me that I've seen he is somewhere out there but it's going to be one out of a million for sure and in your video you're missing something almost all your videos you're missing this one thing and for me to know and you to find out would be nice for you to know the answer. I have no problem sharing it with you but if you would like to race, then that would be on the competition day you will see what you're missing. I'm one hundred percent guaranteed what I'm telling you.. climbing a loan is 100% easier then having a lot of gear on you and tools but with just the ropes it's real simple but you're missing something and I can tell you what it is but we have to go on a competition spree. The I'm not bluffing. 🙄
Anthony - of course your faster, stronger, smarter and can do it better when sitting behind a screen. If you have something to show, take it to the competition and show us all what you can do. Your proving nothing with your comment here. Thanks
you win any competitions yet? keyboard warrior at best
You're so full of shit. If you were that good you'd have already entered a comp so you can find that one in a million. Truth is you're probably just another fly by night cowboy who only had worked for garbage outfits so you think you're special.
Resurrecting this old comment to say, Put up or shut up son.
No disrespect,... but being a rock climber this stuff is 5.6 grade at most.
I'd be in there with just the hand saw tapping that shit... breaking arborists world records
Dude I also climb(boulder, sport, and trad) and this is legitimately complex rope work. I'm going to guess that you haven't done all that much climbing on ropes, because he's using a pretty complex system.
Speed is not the entire point, this is a competition for arborits. They are specifically looking for safe practices and things that others wouldn't care about such as moving through the tree without causing damage as well as limb walking without bending the branches, this requires ropes to be used to both support the climber and in some cases the limbs that are being walked on.
It's like doing the limbo in reverse, you have to keep some of those branches from bending below a certain point... anyone can climb faster than this, but not controlled while meeting the criteria of the competition.
Met about half a dozen guys saying they climb rocks at work and none of them could climb a real tree. "Rock climbers" are almost a inside joke in the tree business because of it.
I climb rocks and trees. Trees is less grip strength and more thought. Both have very awkward positions. Trees is definitely more dangerous especially once you bring out the chainsaw. The rigging in trees is definitely something that takes longer to learn than building a bomber climbing anchor. Both are possible. Get a static rope and try in your tree. The gear is about as expensive as a decent trad rack maybe 1k-ish
I'm a tree surgeon, both climber and consultant with years of practical tree climbing experience and I found this video very dissappointing. Im not disrespecting the climber but there are far more challenging trees than this trust me
I would climb that shit with no ropes
That shit. A living thing you could study and understand, instead of conquering? An arborist is more than a climber.
Oooh! I hadn't understood that.
Why not both? I don't see how it is disrespectful to spend hours trying to find how a tree can be climbed. Most people walk by and don't even pay attention. Getting physically implicated into the tree's structure means you have a much higher awareness of it.
Try doing this competition some real trees like some good California redwoods like real climbers like me
shuuuuutuuupppp
