Speaker 1: You're listening to the Weekend Sport podcast with Jason Vine

2
00:00:10,707 --> 00:00:11,787
Speaker 1: from News Talks.

3
00:00:11,627 --> 00:00:15,187
Speaker 2: Edb Are you going to go to timber sport? Now

4
00:00:15,627 --> 00:00:18,587
Speaker 2: we're going to Shane Jordan a bit of a shock

5
00:00:18,627 --> 00:00:22,507
Speaker 2: in the world of timber sport. The world champion Jack Jordan,

6
00:00:22,587 --> 00:00:25,827
Speaker 2: younger brother of He's been beaten and there's still New

7
00:00:25,907 --> 00:00:30,227
Speaker 2: Zealand timbersport championships by older brother Shane, ten years between them.

8
00:00:30,387 --> 00:00:33,347
Speaker 2: That means Jack won't be able to defend his world

9
00:00:33,427 --> 00:00:37,227
Speaker 2: title later this year. It could be awkward around the

10
00:00:37,387 --> 00:00:41,507
Speaker 2: dinner table. Shane joins us. Now, mister Jordan, you must

11
00:00:41,547 --> 00:00:44,107
Speaker 2: be stoked to get one in for the old boys.

12
00:00:45,467 --> 00:00:49,267
Speaker 3: Yeah, definitely like Jack's he's pretty hard to beat at

13
00:00:49,267 --> 00:00:51,107
Speaker 3: the best of times. And yeah, it's definitely pretty good

14
00:00:51,147 --> 00:00:52,587
Speaker 3: yesterday to get one over top of them.

15
00:00:52,867 --> 00:00:54,827
Speaker 2: So what was the trick, Because you've got a number

16
00:00:54,827 --> 00:00:57,427
Speaker 2: of different disciplines running through the day. Where did you

17
00:00:57,467 --> 00:00:58,987
Speaker 2: get the edge on that? Do you think?

18
00:00:59,907 --> 00:01:02,347
Speaker 3: Oh, well, both tied coming into the last event, the

19
00:01:02,387 --> 00:01:04,987
Speaker 3: hot saw. We're both tied on points and he had

20
00:01:05,027 --> 00:01:07,387
Speaker 3: a slightly faster over were all fine, which meant I

21
00:01:07,387 --> 00:01:09,507
Speaker 3: had to go first and all I knew I had

22
00:01:09,507 --> 00:01:11,067
Speaker 3: to put up a really good time and then sort

23
00:01:11,067 --> 00:01:13,547
Speaker 3: of put the pressure back on him, and yeah, lucky enough,

24
00:01:13,547 --> 00:01:15,387
Speaker 3: it all just sort of worked out just right. Like me,

25
00:01:15,467 --> 00:01:17,707
Speaker 3: training was pretty good in the hot saw and sort

26
00:01:17,707 --> 00:01:19,147
Speaker 3: of just went for it and yeah, put up a

27
00:01:19,787 --> 00:01:22,307
Speaker 3: five point seven, which is yeah, right up there, and

28
00:01:22,547 --> 00:01:24,787
Speaker 3: meant the preciator go back on him and he Yeah,

29
00:01:25,227 --> 00:01:26,787
Speaker 3: it was obviously just a little bit too much, and

30
00:01:26,827 --> 00:01:28,387
Speaker 3: he just made a bit of a mistake, pulled that

31
00:01:28,427 --> 00:01:30,387
Speaker 3: saw up a little bit high when he started and

32
00:01:30,547 --> 00:01:32,147
Speaker 3: cut a too thicker ring and then he was sort

33
00:01:32,187 --> 00:01:33,427
Speaker 3: of in struggles street after that.

34
00:01:33,787 --> 00:01:35,707
Speaker 2: When it comes to all of the disciplines, because there's

35
00:01:35,707 --> 00:01:39,347
Speaker 2: a number of different to make up this top prize

36
00:01:39,347 --> 00:01:42,347
Speaker 2: to win the competition, is there a favorite discipline won

37
00:01:42,427 --> 00:01:43,347
Speaker 2: the exceling.

38
00:01:44,747 --> 00:01:48,547
Speaker 3: Ah, Well, there's six events. The first three events are

39
00:01:48,547 --> 00:01:50,987
Speaker 3: single points and then it goes to double points on

40
00:01:51,027 --> 00:01:52,987
Speaker 3: the next two and in triple points on the hot saw.

41
00:01:53,107 --> 00:01:56,587
Speaker 3: So the hot saw deffinitely is one of the most important,

42
00:01:56,587 --> 00:01:58,387
Speaker 3: but if you're having a bad day, you don't get

43
00:01:58,387 --> 00:02:00,587
Speaker 3: through the others. Sort of its knockout as you go

44
00:02:00,667 --> 00:02:03,947
Speaker 3: as well. So they start off with ten and then

45
00:02:03,947 --> 00:02:05,787
Speaker 3: they dropped two after the first three, and then they

46
00:02:05,827 --> 00:02:09,707
Speaker 3: drop another too after the the next event. So yeah,

47
00:02:09,747 --> 00:02:11,387
Speaker 3: you've definitely got to be going pretty good all day

48
00:02:11,427 --> 00:02:13,467
Speaker 3: and pretty consistent to sort of get there at the

49
00:02:13,587 --> 00:02:15,227
Speaker 3: end to have a shot at it.

50
00:02:15,267 --> 00:02:17,827
Speaker 2: As far as the mental state, and you touched on

51
00:02:17,907 --> 00:02:22,747
Speaker 2: it just then. Plainly its strength size technique is huge.

52
00:02:22,787 --> 00:02:25,267
Speaker 2: But mentally, how much def to dial in for this,

53
00:02:25,347 --> 00:02:27,707
Speaker 2: do you think? Yeah, it is.

54
00:02:27,787 --> 00:02:29,627
Speaker 3: It's probably the most mental out of all the wood

55
00:02:29,627 --> 00:02:32,347
Speaker 3: shopping sort of events we do, just because you've got

56
00:02:32,387 --> 00:02:36,587
Speaker 3: six events that are also different. There's the really technical,

57
00:02:36,627 --> 00:02:38,907
Speaker 3: the really really technical ones, and then there's the ones

58
00:02:38,907 --> 00:02:41,907
Speaker 3: that aren't probably quite as technical, but sort of the brawn,

59
00:02:41,987 --> 00:02:44,067
Speaker 3: strength and that sort of come to it a big part.

60
00:02:44,147 --> 00:02:46,267
Speaker 3: So by the end of the day you're absolutely wrecked.

61
00:02:47,507 --> 00:02:50,507
Speaker 2: I always like the standing block. That always fascinated me

62
00:02:50,547 --> 00:02:54,307
Speaker 2: as a kid. Something you're revealing, Yeah, definitely, that's my favorite.

63
00:02:54,347 --> 00:02:56,827
Speaker 3: That's my favorite out of picking sort of any event

64
00:02:56,867 --> 00:02:58,547
Speaker 3: would be the standing block. It's probably the one I

65
00:02:58,587 --> 00:03:01,307
Speaker 3: trained the most and have probably had the most success,

66
00:03:01,907 --> 00:03:05,467
Speaker 3: and so yeah, the standing box definitely, yeah, right up there.

67
00:03:05,587 --> 00:03:07,747
Speaker 2: So what got you into it? Why did you start

68
00:03:08,027 --> 00:03:10,067
Speaker 2: attacking bits of timber for fun.

69
00:03:11,227 --> 00:03:13,587
Speaker 3: Oh sort of something did We went got off the

70
00:03:13,627 --> 00:03:16,547
Speaker 3: bus after skill, went to a guy called Bruce Reichard

71
00:03:16,627 --> 00:03:17,987
Speaker 3: just out of Douglas. He had a sort of a

72
00:03:17,987 --> 00:03:19,787
Speaker 3: bit of a school going for a whole lot of

73
00:03:19,867 --> 00:03:21,747
Speaker 3: us young fellas, and yeah, we just sort of went

74
00:03:21,827 --> 00:03:24,627
Speaker 3: there and started doing it. And from there went over

75
00:03:24,627 --> 00:03:27,107
Speaker 3: to a guy called Johnny mackenzie and Taupo I was

76
00:03:27,147 --> 00:03:28,667
Speaker 3: living over there at the time, and sort of he

77
00:03:28,987 --> 00:03:31,747
Speaker 3: pushed me along and you know, the right direction, and yeah,

78
00:03:31,907 --> 00:03:32,627
Speaker 3: sort of went from there.

79
00:03:32,947 --> 00:03:36,467
Speaker 2: That is a direct result your younger brother ten year

80
00:03:36,547 --> 00:03:39,227
Speaker 2: younger brother, where he's slightly heavier and slightly taller. He

81
00:03:39,227 --> 00:03:41,867
Speaker 2: doesn't get to go and defend his world championship, does he?

82
00:03:42,907 --> 00:03:45,067
Speaker 3: No, No, he doesn't. He'll be going over in the

83
00:03:45,107 --> 00:03:48,467
Speaker 3: team to cut with us in the team's event over there.

84
00:03:48,507 --> 00:03:51,347
Speaker 3: But yeah, definitely he won't be going for that individual

85
00:03:51,347 --> 00:03:51,987
Speaker 3: spot this year.

86
00:03:52,347 --> 00:03:55,227
Speaker 2: Is he like an angry individual? Was he going to

87
00:03:55,427 --> 00:03:59,187
Speaker 2: like not talk to you for months on end or No?

88
00:03:59,347 --> 00:04:01,347
Speaker 3: He's pretty good sort of. Last year I was on

89
00:04:01,387 --> 00:04:03,947
Speaker 3: the receiving end, like I made pretty much the same

90
00:04:03,987 --> 00:04:07,627
Speaker 3: mistake as what he did last year and got dequed

91
00:04:08,107 --> 00:04:10,507
Speaker 3: and sort of that sort of. Yeah, it was pretty

92
00:04:10,587 --> 00:04:12,787
Speaker 3: much very similar to being the same as this year

93
00:04:12,947 --> 00:04:14,947
Speaker 3: in the way of points coming out for that last event.

94
00:04:15,027 --> 00:04:18,427
Speaker 3: But no, Jack's Jack pretty good. He's you know, I

95
00:04:18,427 --> 00:04:20,187
Speaker 3: could see he was hurt and I sort of felt

96
00:04:20,187 --> 00:04:22,227
Speaker 3: his pain yesterday, so I didn't talk to him too

97
00:04:22,267 --> 00:04:22,867
Speaker 3: much or sort of.

98
00:04:23,667 --> 00:04:24,547
Speaker 2: But yeah, it'll take.

99
00:04:24,507 --> 00:04:26,507
Speaker 3: It'll take a few days to sort of process at all.

100
00:04:26,547 --> 00:04:28,827
Speaker 3: And yeah, but definitely he'll be on my side when

101
00:04:28,867 --> 00:04:32,387
Speaker 3: we head over there and try to get that world championship.

102
00:04:32,227 --> 00:04:34,667
