OUTSTANDING helmet cam video; aka why eye paddle!
Edited on Wed Sep-28-05 09:38 PM by eyepaddle
This is my favorite river running at a fairly high level--obviously Aaron edited out a lot but here are the highlights. This is a 17 MB video so dial-up people should probably avoid it.

For a shorter video with yours truly in it (for about 3 seconds)
check out:

I'm the guy in the background on the right, crossing the current (my ride had just ended) I am in the yellow boat w/blue bow and white paddle blades.

Yes, for the record I am NOWHERE near as good as the hotshot in the second video. I got throttled pretty soundly 8 out of 10 rides in that hole. On the plus side I never had to swim!

Makes me want to go out there with my SO. She's into kayaking. I can't even swim.

On the other hand, I like caving, and she isn't enthused.
