Depending on the event schedule, multiple demonstrations may take place throughout the day to help maintain visitor interest and entertainment across the venue.
What is springboard chopping?
Springboard chopping is one of the most dramatic disciplines within competitive axe racing and lumberjack entertainment. Competitors cut notches into the side of a vertical log before inserting wooden springboards that allow them to climb higher up the timber while continuing to chop. The aim is to cut through the upper section of the log as quickly as possible using razor-sharp axes.
The discipline originated in logging camps where lumberjacks needed to cut trees above the wider and harder base sections of trunks. By climbing onto springboards, workers could cut through softer timber higher up the tree more efficiently.
Today, springboard chopping has evolved into a highly skilled competitive sport performed at agricultural shows and outdoor events throughout the world. The event combines balance, coordination, strength, and precision while creating dramatic visual entertainment for spectators.
During Clwyd Axemen performances, springboard chopping often becomes one of the biggest crowd highlights because of the speed, danger, and athleticism involved in the competition.
