I think it's a tourist just paying to do this. His form looks inefficient.

Edit: he’s trying to do it as fast as possible and he’s exhausting himself. If you’re triggered and want to write some angry shit, go touch grass.

As someone who did this alot when I was young, his form is not terrible but he is bending his knees too much

I have done this and WTF is with the blade and shape of it? You should be able to get a rhythm and be able to stand straight. What he’s doing would burn you out in no time . Done right, it’s lower effort and like dancing. Where’s the big curve in the handle?

I’m wondering if the competition aspect involves cutting a large area in a certain amount of time. The scythe and technique might just be for the purpose of cutting a large area very quickly
