That's a good thing to keep in mind.  Thanks for sharing.  I try to stay away from bore cutting unless its a tree I worry about splitting like if its a hard learner or some species I just bore cute automagically like hickory but I rarely bore cut softwood unless I wanna play around a little just how I like to do it to each his own!

So, what I do, take it with a grain of salt, and bear in mind I cut softwood.  But someone taught me a trick as I was learning.  You roll the saw in as stated before, then when I get in a little, if I feel like she's gonna kick, I twist the bar slightly and pull up a little on the rear of the saw.  This creates a pocket in the cut that is very hard to kick out of.  I can bore skip very easy this way.
Yep, it works. This is what I said in post 10.

No problem. This technique does work well. I don't know if many people do it. I get a lot of blank stares when is describe it but I am use to that.

does it throw off lining up your cuts?

No, not noticeably.

Tried another tree that was easier to hold the saw right & it was a easy task. I guess it was just the awkward position & a powerful saw talking a big bite.

Please excuse my typing. I don't do well at catching auto correct.

That is the safest way I know of feeling a tree.  God Bless
Great video but he needs a sharp chain ,that chain is making dust not chips  8) 8)

There isn't a thing wrong with that chain.  When you cut with the grain putting your top cut in an open face notch, it throws fine dust like that.  You'll notice when he is cutting the tree perpendicular, it is throwing nice chips.  It is just the difference with the cut in reference to the grain run.  Not a dull chain.  God Bless
