I hadn't heard though I've thought they would make a terrific match. Congrats!

Sparrow - I thought a LOT of the skills actually. I have tried that twist quite a few times but thought I needed to twist it upon impact. I could never get it right. I am realizing now that I need to revisit this. I actually slowed down the video multiple times and watched the point of impact. I am seeing now what I am striving for.

I found the video to be funny in that you showed the point of the twist by doing things that people don't associate with axes. 1) Using them with rocks as a back stop (as well as other unorthodox backstops) 2) Having a woman swing the axe (no offense intended - I think women are just as capable if not more so than some men - but it isn't every day you see a woman using a double bit) 3) Having the user not wear shoes.

No problem, I don't take offence that easily. :)

But, how did you expect to get this across....

I just think any woman who can use an axe - WITH a dress on - gets prettier. That is all I was trying to get across. Excuse the crudeness.

...by saying this?

Apparently there were some logs she was swinging at - but I still haven't seen them.

Still, no offence taken. I do not really think that I'm proficient enough at splitting wood to be demonstrating it on the internet, so I don't get all offended when someone else feels the same way...

And to think that they first met on BladeForums... :)

...And some of the credit goes to the person responsible for the fact that I ever got to know him as anything more than "G-pig". Thank you Steve :D

(and to everyone else who thought we'd be a good match; thanks, I do believe we are... now shall we move on to actual axe-related subjects? ;) )

I think it was a miss of humor. I moderate another board (paintball) and this joke is fairly common. Again - no offense intended.

Yeah, I don't usually quite catch on to that sort of humor... probably because I usually just choose to ignore it. :P Again - no offence taken.
