Getting wet in spectacular fashion!
Instead of jumping off a mountain into the air, as we saw yesterday, how about paddling off one in a kayak?
BoatingAndBandages, that's one of my two complaints with Snotr--low-res video--and the other is "Almost total lack of supporting information for any video." YouTube/Vimeo/etc. ftw!
I'm a kayaker myself(been years though), but not really the white water type, more like paddling serenely along. Though I've gone through a couple of (very) minor white waters...
... kayakers be crazy. :D
ReplyDeleteYou need to see this footage in high-res and full screen, rather than the Snotr version! Rider of the Year II
ReplyDeleteAlso, I'm very impressed by the footage from the Whitewater Grand prix.
I'm a pretty serious kayaker, solid on class IV and run some class V, and a lot of these paddlers look crazy to me too!

ReplyDeleteI gotta say I dig the barrel roll flips.
