Lumbersexuals compete to be lumberjacks in Tinley Park

Some of the toughest lumberjacks are coming to the Tinley Park Convention Center July 15-16 for the STIHL TIMBERSPORTS Series U.S. Pro and Collegiate Championships (www.stihlusa.com/stihl-timbersports/). The event features lumberjack competitions like the hot saw, standing block chop, and single buck. Tickets for the event are sold out at this time.

Along with the lumberjacks competing will be a group of men who look the part, but don't live the lifestyle. So-called lumbersexuals dress in flannel and usually have magnificent beards, but are also typically city-dwellers without much knowledge of lumberjack culture. Dinty Moore teamed up with STIHL TIMBERSPORTS to prepare a group lumbersexuals to compete with the pros. Competitive lumberjack and trainer, Adrian Flygt, and lumbersexual team member Ben White, visited the ABC 7 State Street Studios to show us what they've learned.
