you could maybe get with John and see if he can get any drone footage of the race to do some side by side clips.of the upstream shots. i know that drone was running up from the bottom of gorilla all the way above Go Left all day during the race.

Once folks get comfortable paddling here again, it will be be great to see a shot like this of someone doing it top-to bottom. I have seen some go-pro footage, but the go-pro effect is real. And the overhead drone footage is really cool, but I didn't get a sense of the size of anything until the drone passes over you. These are me problems, not you problems. Thanks for making this.
@chrispreperato55622 ай бұрын
I think the footage from bottom-up does a decent job of showing how unrunnable decent chunks of the main rapids are at "normal flows" and yet how ready it probably is for 2x flows for a while. The scary part (especially with how many big rocks are stacked on one another, ready to move), is what happens when the next 5yr flood happens. There's a LOT of rocks in Chiefs/Boofers/etc that are gonna shift a LOT in the next flood

Somebody is going to die at Sunshine, or get very lucky. Wow, what a rock sieve. Look's like at least 85% or more of the flow at that level is disappearing under that boulder and the far left slot look's almost impossible to hit. The right sneak route would be the best IMO, but the tree stump nix's that. Gotta carry it right now, to scary, deadly.
@MicajahMcCurry2 ай бұрын
Luckily the entire river pushes left above it into an eddy. With how big that sieve is it’ll get clogged with a tree eventually…

Great boofs! I think on that river I'd be screaming too, though it might be more in terror than in victory. Keep your paddle wet, and you're 'yak going forward! I look forward to more of your videos!

Soo what do you think the new Flow is going to be like?
@PaddleInPink Жыл бұрын
Hard to compare a small to a small one since I don't know the specs for a small flow. So far I have heard nothing but positive reviews on the medium flow. I look forward to testing out a small when one is released and then also doing a comparison. I suspect it will be a very popular boat.

I just got my small flow and will release an initial review of it here in a week or so. Stay tuned!

Angle was good. You lost all your speed when you hit the wall. A strong bow draw/Duffek out of the eddy would have made all the difference.
