Funny you mention it oldoak, I just read through this and I am dumbfounded. All happening in my hometown no less, but it's the first I've heard of it. I'll try to stop by and get some more pics when I get a chance.

I know Eric Schultz with the City of Charleston. He's a good guy and won't sit still over this one. Hopefully he can do what it takes to make Badeaux think twice before doing it again. Speaking of which, as awesome as Badeaux speaks of himself, I've never heard of him. I've seen and heard of the company though.

I've also heard of Robert Chestnut (landscape architect) through a potential client, who spoke of him like a god. Everything the client said Chestnut suggested in regards to trees, was laughable to me, and I had trouble keeping quiet about it. Needless to say I didn't get the job.

I had trouble with the video posted. Looks like it may have had its Public status removed.

Wow, literally grew up in a tree huh? Thousands of crane removals? You'd think he'd figure out how to tip tie or balance a limb with a thousand crane removals under his belt. I think he's his own biggest fan. He's going to get knocked out (or worse) by the butt of one of those flipping limbs one day. Or the crane's going to get shock loaded one last time.
 
Did anyone happen to notice in his diatribe about himself, that there is no mention of any sort of education or certification? Just another yahoo with a chainsaw and some equipment meant for other professions.
 
I hunt squirrels with a .375 Holland & Holland magnum. I yank rose bushes out of the ground with a 60-ton crane. I give awesome haircuts by shaving one side of your head. I removed thousands of nuisance pine trees from national forests by the time I was 6 years old. I have sex with a dozen supermodels before I leave the house for a hard day of riding crane balls in my skivvies with nothing but a shoestring between me and certain death. I smoke a pound of crack at lunchtime. I'm a living legend, damnit, and I'll be the first and only one to tell you so. I'm practically a household name throughout the free world. Rock out with your cock out. I have L33T sKiLz you amateur, ham sandwich arborists, and don't you forget it!

OK, I'm done.
 
Yeah, here's his quote of himself:

"While others run from danger there are always a select few of us a rare bread that will embrace that danger filled with spit and fire we charge into the darkness of this imminent danger ready for whatever challenge that comes next! - Marshall Badeaux"

Let's see how many times we can use "danger" in one sentence.

"...a select few of us a rare bread..." - What kinda bread we talkin' here? Ciabatta, Texas Toast, Wonder Bread, or hotdog buns?

"...that will embrace that danger filled with spit and fire..." - Should read: ...needlessly place the crew, the crane operator, the client's property, and myself in danger...
