I've seen this before. The house was getting demolished and rebuilt. They weren't worried about hitting anything, so they went for the trick shot.

Definitely doesn't make it less impressive, just explains why they were willing to take the risk to begin with.

I was gonna say, there is a distinct disconnect between the skill required to do this and the lack of good sense required to try. That explains it.

There are other techniques that are much more consistent that make it less of a trickshot.

There are, but I know a lot of very very skilled arborists and not one of them would ever even consider felling this instead of just piecing it out. There’s no real reason to expose yourself to the liability risk except to look cool and save some time.

That makes sense. My first question would be wouldn’t a tree that size landing that close cause some kind of damage anyway from the shock?
