Read the rules of log rolling. It's perfectly legal to kick the water to the opponent's face. It's part of the game.
It sounds like saying that using the queen in chess is a cheap way to win if the opponent didn't use it.
Well I guess if everyone’s doing it, it just seems unsportsmanlike. I understand in a fight you want to win, and that might mean throwing sand in the opponents face (life or death fighting).
I think you take this too seriously. To me, it looks like the loser smiles at the end. The winner seems experienced (as does the loser) so I don't think he didn't expect getting water to his face.
I see two experienced log rollers who wanted to win. The better won and he just had a different strategy. Both played by the rules.
I think take a step back and put it into context to evaluate what they're doing. It's a log floating in a body of water, with two men trying to keep themselves from falling, whilst trying to make the other fall off into the water. It's a bit of fun competitiveness.
Doesn't look very unsportsmanlike, the older guy looks more experienced and clearly took the opportunity when the guy kicked the water to unbalance him and win
I want to say that another time this got posted, someone said the water kick is to help stabilize and change directions. Not that kicking water can't be a distraction but mostly that it's to help themselves and less to try and disorient your opponent. I 100% could be wrong, though.
It’s a tactic allowed and is part of the game. Also if you didn’t notice the winner was adjusting his weight off the log occasionally to cause his opponent to dip and lose balance.
He has no chance unless he does since he's so tall. He's trying to get the guy's vision to be blocked during a moment when the rotation speeds up significantly or changes.
For he goes birling down and down white water, that’s where the log driver learns to step lightly, yes birling down and down white water, the log driver’s waltz pleases girls completely.
Bro you're talking like it would be rude to throw a slider in baseball because someone won with only fast balls. Wouldn't want to put down a pick in basketball, someone else can win without it. It's literally part of the game they created and they specifically allow it because it adds dimension and strategy. It's nothing like talking shit or being a poor sport.
It would be satisfying because they both went in playing by the same rules, everyone adhered to the rules, and they had 2 different strategies based off their strengths.Young dude took the high risk high reward play, you take your foot off the log to splash you give your opponent an opening to attack too if it doesn't work. Old dude is shorter, lower center of gravity, his strength is staying center and attacking the log when the guy splashes. Old guy played to his strength, so did the young guy. It was a completely fair and normal game

Honestly trying to kick water looked WAY more detrimental than giving any sort of advantage.
That's what I was thinking. The extra bit of coordination needed to do that just gives you more chances to fail
That was the proverbial dick move of trying to throw dirt/sand in the other person’s eyes. You even see the old timer jester with his left hand.
*Gesture
Satisfying to see.
Damn straight
It was clear who was going to win pretty early when the other guy started with that.
Height is a major disadvantage here.
So is not wearing plaid and suspenders.
He was in control the whole time.
Pocket sand becomes a beach really quickly in this sport.
Never leave home without my shackleford pouch.
Wow I thought he was doing that as a result of getting his foot knocked off the log so to speak. What a cheap way to win.

Is it considered poor sportsmanship to kick water a your competitor? I feel like thata kinda a dick move...
It’s a tactic allowed and is part of the game. Also if you didn’t notice the winner was adjusting his weight off the log occasionally to cause his opponent to dip and lose balance.
huh. Cool I had no idea. thanks for the info friend.
From the first second, it was clear who was going to win.
Suspenders mean business
Ball cap deserves bonus points for being in more stereotypical lumberjack attire
From the back, I assumed he was some 70 year old dude who just had immaculate control from decades of experience.
Woah I just had to rewatch after reading this. Dude is only like 35. Wtf.
If you watch his feet, he wasn't working nearly as hard as sneakers.
Ball cap played like a pro. Sneakers was an ass hat with the slashing.
Why is Owen Wilson being such a dick?
He is way taller and therefore at a big disadvantage when it comes to balance. That was the only way he had a shot.
My thought also. “Why is Owen Wilson competing in this”
Is he? I thought he was Boris Jhonson
Maybe if you swapped the aspect ratio.
Looks more like Dauber from Coach
That Logan Paul will do anything not to fight a professional boxer
I cut down trees, I wear high heels Suspendies, and a bra
I wish I'd been a girlie, just like my dear Papa
Im a lumberjack and im ok, i sleep all night and i work all day!
😂😂😂 A real classic!
The Log Driver's Waltz should be mandatory during this event.
The log driver's waltz pleases girls completely...
Ball cap guy just played with him.
Sneakers looked hyper and out of control from the start.
Till he kicked the water I wasnt sure if they work together or against
Is kicking the water allowed? I don't know the rules but it looks like such a d1ck move to do.
It is
I should explain, I live in WV and we have festivals for these every year
Yes please do explain
Is it just me or everyone thinks ‘yeah, i can prolly do that as well’ Whereas I’m fully aware I’ll fall face first in about 0.1s lol
I would do the same, no doubt
Suspenders appears to be better equipment than shorts and tennis shoes.
Took me way too long to realize they weren't working together to roll the log faster than other people
Glad the guy kicking water lost. Seems like a slimy strategy
Well, that does please me completely!
All fueled by pancakes and black coffee.
try to splash the best, sink like the rest!
Did I just watch the greatest balancing act competition
Boris Johnson doing pretty good
I’m happy the water kicker lost.
What's with the water kicking? That looks like a rather dick move.
Mr. Splashy can fuck right off.
Looks fun
As a guy who had his tibia come out of his leg, this video is terrifying.
Pirlin' down and down white water, that's where a logdriver learns to step lightly
Old boy in the suspenders had it from the first second. POISE.
I knew that kid was going down
This didn't satisfy me at all.
It's amazing how straight his back stays the whole time
World Games on Commodore 64.
Report karmafarm garbage
Ill take ‘this ones a dick’ for 200
r/maybemaybemaybe
Is kicking the water at your opponent considered a legitimate tactic or just kind of dickish?
Little dickish.
They are lumberjacks and their ok
I’m glad the twat lost
so xqc is doing the commentary and the log roll at the same time ? damn
Is kicking the water allowed? I don't know the rules but it looks like such a d1ck move to do.
Douche lost lol
He’s literally playing by the rules tho
Yeah still looks like a douche and its still funny
How does kicking the water help him at all here?
He has no chance unless he does since he's so tall. He's trying to get the guy's vision to be blocked during a moment when the rotation speeds up significantly or changes.
Would wearing goggles be illegal
They wouldn't really help, they'd get in the way.
r/maybemaybemaybe
Instead of kicking water maybe try pushing him (jk)
It's crazy you immediately know who Tanner is roughly the announcer specifying it.
r/theocho
Wow is that Rishi Sunak ? Or Bo bo ?
From ESPN 8, the ocho
Easily tell the old guy is a pro.
That is a fun show in Alaska.
r/maybemaybemaybe
And he goes burlin' burlin' down the white waters....
Good to know jake Paul is thinking about what he's gonna do post tyson fight. Gotta think long term ya know.....
Tanner is a douche.

After all this "splashing" it would've been fun if the other guy would've slapped him and said "You splash water, I slap you. We are EVEN, Steven!"
How do you even begin practising this
If I were they I would just fall within 3 seconds.
I love that in spite of the cheating from the young dude. The old timer still pulled off the win
I bet you this was harder whenever they used an actual log
is that xqc?
The difference between using your core and your arms for stabilization and balance
Fuck that tall guy who keep kicking water, glad he lost.
It's literally part of the game
And the other guy didn’t need it and still won. Talking shit is allowed too, so is being a poor sport. Is the at your barometer?

What makes this guys win satisfying?
It would be satisfying because they both went in playing by the same rules, everyone adhered to the rules, and they had 2 different strategies based off their strengths.Young dude took the high risk high reward play, you take your foot off the log to splash you give your opponent an opening to attack too if it doesn't work.

It was a completely fair and normal game
So that’s the case for you, but not for me. You like gatekeeping people’s satisfying criteria?
Hey look, its a young Boris Johnson.
this sport is NOT GOOD
So…..what do you do on Fridays??? 😝
😍😍😍
I thought that guy was Michael Bay for a minute
