Actually there is quite a bit of pretty awesome footage of Banjo climbing. One video is on my website, and the other is in production. They're, like, professional videos, though. Apples and oranges, really.

That was " like the opposite of pretty awesome footage of banjo climbing, like that was like terrible, like poop and snot, really!! Hilarious you crazy gays!!opps guys..hehe
 
Try looking harder. X has quite a lot of videos up but it would take someone not being lazy to find them.

Did you say yee haw when that top came over like a cowboy?

...ugh just saw that last post. Just a troller I'll be ignoring you from now on.
 
Ricky, why does a climber needs video's to be a good climber ? I sure know a lot of great climbers that doesn't have any video's at all.

Try to take some advice in consideration.....it won't hurt.
We all do the same job and we all know how it's like up there, but down here we have to give each other some room.

Reading posts and typing posts is a lot harder as actualy speaking to someone because we miss the body language, the decenty and we can just shout whatever we want.

I liked watching the vid :-)


climb safe

Well Well Banjo,, just like I thought no video's. Put your video where your mouth is and cough one out. Or no camera right?

The first video of me working was filmed last week. It will be available for your scrutiny soon.

I was criticizing you for safety violations in a video that you posted of yourself, and you're getting all bent out of shape. This isn't a pissing contest about who is better than who. It's quite possible that you are better than me at certain things, who knows, maybe not. I am clearly better at making safer choices when I climb though. Your 'it's to hot for safety' argument is just childish. Obviously you won't put a helmet on for yourself so do it for your family and friends.
Oh yeah, my avatar pic is of my dog because I love my dog. I don't need to post another avatar of me in a tree because I'm not trying to prove anything.
You need to hold back on the outbursts too, it reflects poorly on your character.
Have a wonderful day.
 
Ricky,
There is no need to get so defensive. Everyone here is simply expressing some real concern for your poor choices.
You posted a redneck treework video on a reputable, safety-oriented forum and got called on it. That's not personal - it would be the same for anyone. Just ask Daniel. You can either learn from it or act like a child.

You're right, it is your decision: You can choose to follow legislated, industry standards or be a Darwin Award. Your choice.
 
This one has spunk yeahhh more ranting from someone who puts a vid up. Check pls I will be in the lurking bar. I watched a 35 yr vet of the trees service cert. arb get beened in the dome by a Walnut today just putting on his hard hat. All I heard while he was up there was da&m that hurt. When he swapped out saws I sent up a couple tissues for his whining, he laughed but I know and everybody else knows doesn't take much to hurt the dome. OOO no vids either so don't look.
 
I must agree with tom and the others. Most of us Professional Arborists learn from these forums, If you do not want people to comment don't post, I speak for myself and I am sure others, safety is a must, which means the proper PPE. Respect the field you have chosen and be a professional! this is what separates us from the hackers....catch my drift? I use the word Professional literally!
 
Check out the dog at around 0.48 seconds - walks up....like, 'hey what happening here?' immediately turns away when he sees the guy in the tree wearing a cowboy hat....aaahahahahahaha
 
I think it takes alot more than a hardhat to make a professional. When walking in the woods do you wear your hard hat? Because who's to say that a piece of deadwood isn't going to come down on your head. I agree that hardhat's should be worn, but I am at the stage in my life where if I feel it is a hindrance than I think I should be able to make that decision...and I do. Hardhats in the bush and for crane jobs definately. Bottom line no one is going to tell me what to do or me tell someone what or how to do it...Thank you all for your concern.. I got defensive because of the way I was approached.
 
The way you were approached? You were handled with friggin' kid gloves because we tried to be nice and not start a war, knowing that you had posted somewhat reckless behavior. You immediately got defensive and acted like a child. You bring next to nothing to this forum, and I think you post masturbatory junk just to see yourself 'on the internet.'

Furthermore, I would contend that YOU are the reason that MY insurance costs are through the roof. YOU are violating at least one ANSI standard on the WORLD WIDE WEB. YOU are probably going to be a statistic that affects my bottom line someday, and that pisses me off.

Let the bodies hit the floor. Ha.

I would also like to ask you to look back at some of the things you said and the language you used towards other arborists, including myself, that posted in this thread. You certainly said some really crass things to folks that tried to reason with you, and make fair assessments of your video. I am surprised you didn't get worse treatment, really.

But, hey, you don't give a $#!t anyway, right?

Ricky got OWNED!!!!!!!!!!

Seriously though, the point about unsafe work practices causing higher premiums for reputable companies is the crux of the issue here. If you are trying to go out there and do tree work to create a profitable company why wouldn't you participate in the safety culture that is trying to make it a more affordable/profitable industry?

If you have kids you should sit them down and explain what helmets are and what they do, then ask them if they want you to wear one(that is if you can do it without bias). I'll bet they would rather have a Daddy with a helmet instead of no Daddy.

The outbursts need to stop, calling people gay, or telling them to lick your crotch because they criticized you is just plain childish. Is this how you conduct yourself on a daily basis?????
 
I dont have any videos, but I would like to offer a little saying my mamma always used

A good hard hat provides a sense of comfort and reassurance.. I feel naked without mine.. exposed, out of sorts and uncomfortable... It only has to save your life once, and it was worth wearing all those hot sweaty days..

I heard a first hand story of a highly experienced county arb (municipal) dying from a head injury while falling a simple tree.. just another tree, nothing big, nothing crazy, got hung up.. While the skid operator tried to free the hung tree... a 5-8' piece of deadwood fell from a good height, and got the faller directly on the head.. he died where he hit the ground.. RIGHT THERE ...... GONE

That is a very sobering story.. and should have any intelligent, caring, pro arb re-thinking his choice to go without a hard hat... Getting a good comfortable hard hat is a worthwhile investment.. After a while it just feels natural..
 
Aren't chaps part of PPE? Pot - Kettle? You post some of the most wreckless vids on here and now you preach safety? Man, if only to have some of the arrogance you have!!
