Other events

I was raised around loggers' sports events, though not as a competitor and while I knew lots of people who sent to Hayward, I didn't even see their roster of events; but I'm more than familiar with those at the various big BC events ( Sooke, Squamish, Mission, Hope, and the PNE in the old days, not sure where else has 'em now). I see this article only lists "sample events"......and Hayward's rules seem a bit diffrent than Canada's (the 15" touch-rate on the speed climb is more like 1.5m in Canadian descents....(ouch)). I'll try and find event listings/rules for the other events, and suggest that Loggers sports or Lumberjack sports be a separate article. Skookum1 ( talk) 15:48, 21 September 2008 (UTC) reply

I don't think the reviewer is correct about the 15" touch rule. At least it used to be much greater and they definitely hit the ground hard. check for a youtube video. see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MS6nR2p8WdY. Also These championships used to be covered by "ABC's Wide World of Sports" on the ABC television network in the u.s.
