Jim's Act
Timber Jim is known as one of the best performers for any team. That is because of his unique talents as an actual lumberjack. These include
- Scaling a tall "snag" off the pitch and standing on top high above the crowd (as of 2007 discontinued due to safety concerns).
- Cutting a round from a log with one of his chain saws every time the Timbers score
- Hanging above the crowd on a zip-line with his drum
- Singing "We are the Timbers..." to section 107 (Timbers Army), eventually spelling out T-I-M-B-E-R-S (the R extended, imitating the roaring of a chainsaw)
- Pounding on a large drum, yelling out "Port-land (beat, beat) Tim-bers"
- Doing forward handsprings (quite a feat, as he is in his 50s)

Famous quotes containing the word act:
“Wonderful “Force of Public Opinion!” We must act and walk in all points as it prescribes; follow the traffic it bids us, realise the sum of money, the degree of “influence” it expects of us, or we shall be lightly esteemed; certain mouthfuls of articulate wind will be blown at us, and this what mortal courage can front?”
—Thomas Carlyle (1795–1881)
