2008 Freestyle Canoeing Routine Pirates of the Carribean

[@paliacho9]

I'm more of an Ornstein purist, but that flinging of the hat was breathtaking. I clapped.

[@unicornshampoo]

I was dissapointed because Orstein used a green canoe. How about a red canoe? Otherwise I think we can both agree he really set the night on fire.

[@h2hcamey]

“To each his on”. I suppose you have to be a canoe paddling enthusiasts to appreciate the art. There’s more to paddling than just floated down a river. It’s all about technical paddling.

[@johnevatt518]

Absolutely stunning, it made me timbers shiver, everyone says a pirate's favorite letter of the alphabet is Rrrrr. But we all know his true love is the C

[@shane220490]

Surely we need to bring stronger drug testing regulations into the sport? This performance is just too good.

[@poinky8]

They drug test the spectators

[@716FRESH]

Guy in pirate costume slowly spins around a canoe to impress grandma..crowd golf claps.. 9/10 would watch again.

[@alexandrebeaudry8377]

I do know if you paddle but this is really impressive. It's the equivalent of a backflip to me.

[@jamesbinns8528]

Can you do anything that the pirate did?

[@ChristelVinot]

lmao

[@johnevatt518]

@@jamesbinns8528 I can toss my hat is that good enough for you

[@shydncrumph8119]

clearly this is what the coast guard is looking for. so glad i found this vid.

[@meowbacca5624]

Look out Somali pirates, we are sending in this man and his canoe to extract Captain Phillips and his crew!

[@nicholaspayne1906]

That’s got to be the best pirate I’ve ever seen.

[@demagchevy]

Omg, we need synchronized freestyle canoeing

[@tayvanrope9021]

You mean like this? kzbin.info/www/bejne/jqOphXV7a7Cdj7M

[@leighonfilm]

there is!!

[@ranchdressing1037]

A morning at the lodge bar, a canoe rental, and a buddy with a bluetooth speaker:

[@Gulfripper]

Bet that was a rough 4 years in the military.

[@alessandroaprile181]

that's the most action-packed freestyle canoe video i have ever seen. And that's say it all.

[@h2hcamey]

I’ve been to many free style demonstrations. This one ranks among the top! His control of his canoe and paddle is amazing!!! Hope he is still paddling after all these years!!!

[@mozartsghost9271]

unfortunately he passed away in a tragic canoeing accident.

[@Dfl87165]

It's a little known fact that this is what the trappers at the frontier did when no one was watching. These guys are so close to nature! Only canoeing in absoulte synchrony of 6 men wearing meerkat costumes to The Lion King could beat this performance!

[@okinawa1312]

Goes in the right direction: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jqOphXV7a7Cdj7M

[@johnevatt518]

Sadly my friend it's already been done and it was spectacular.

[@andyeighttre]

I’m not gay, but when he threw that hat I got a tingle.

[@oldstarouijaboard42]

Youre gay

[@spacesentinel1287]

🤣🤣🤣

[@jcollesano]

At 2:15 I was like “no he didn’t!” But then at 2:19 it was confirmed that he, in actually, DID do it. What a maneuver

[@fullgrowntuna]

I loved that part where he spun his canoe in a circle. Awe-inspiring.

[@MrWils25]

Spanning the globe to bring you the constant variety of sport... the thrill of victory... and the agony of defeat... the human drama of athletic competition... This is ABC's Wide World of Sports!

[@tylervisina31]

The internet is complete

[@ugglebo1198]

Now, I'm a total Ornstein head - but even I have to give respect where respect is due. Exquisite.

[@willpescio4834]

omfg i've never enjoyed myself so much watching a video

[@johnevatt518]

Haha this was amateur night. To truly appreciate art in its purest form you should see Mark Ornstein. Some liken him to a god and I myself agree.

[@itchEhat]

I was worried the performer had fallen out of the boat only to have him spin around and reveal he was hiding! The suspense was quite thrilling

[@noemimajer9360]

🤣

[@noemimajer9360]

Kept me on the edge of my canoe

[@griffinmatt]

My youtube recommendations are about to get weird

[@Bryan-kd7qv]

This shit fucking SLAPS!!! Literally. Barbosa is HUNGRY BAB-Y!!!

[@johnevatt518]

You sir are no Marc Ornstein. You should humble yourself to the master.

[@sandierads4223]

Agreed

[@Melody-lc6dt]

Wow I just saw Ornstein's performance to Lady In Red. Magnificent.

[@PyroNinja713]

Oh good, someone else saw this as their second freestyle canoeing video.

[@nope24601]

Portlandia brought me here.

[@googuse]

This would be a hundred trillion times more awesome if it was done to Nowegian Black Metal

[@joelalamo45]

Marc Ornstein rules them all. The GOAT of freestyle canoeing.

[@ghostoflazlo]

Because it's that one video you watched

[@collinmc90]

5 bags of popcorn. a true classic. His style is highly unorthodox. a true rebel in the sport.

[@marmiteoneverything9850]

turn #4,I wouldn't have believed it, if i didn't witness it..... brilliant

[@Plutobomber]

Still, possibly the best Freestyle routine ever! Thanks John.

[@johnevatt518]

The best ever. Clearly you're not familiar with the work of Mark Ormstein. His body of work in this field boggles the mind.

[@Plutobomber]

Marc's a great guy. He's pushed the sport in many ways. And I think he was competing against John at this event. I'm pretty sure John won.

[@TownyResident]

2:37 15 years later still legendary

[@gumbooter5562]

Got nothing on Marc Ornstein

[@travisrogers5263]

G O A T

[@sorenhoeger-lerdal8216]

I would buy a lock of his hair for soo much money.

[@robertbrown380]

If he hurries, he can make it to the dodgeball tournament with Average Joes.

[@BP-ct2rn]

I smell a red bull sponsorship in this guy's future

[@andyhillhouse9813]

what am I watching? boat dressage?

[@travisreed4070]

Lmfao.. as a farrier I can 100% relate..

[@Isosceles1]

Sure he has a red bandana, but this is no Lady in Red

[@jeremybarker2542]

props to mamaw for helping this nerd out.

[@ChristelVinot]

lmao

[@tokowpc]

funny how it seems like the crowd keeps waiting for that same person to clap just so they know when to....ARRRRGGGHHHHH!!!!!

[@grandmarkai]

While this is a decent performance, it doesn't compare to the majesty and command wielded by Ornstein. An Ornstein performance will have you on the edge of your seat, that is if you don't slip off. The audience response was fairly average in this video, however Ornstein's program music could barely be heard over the animal-like hoots and screams from his crowd.

[@travisrogers5263]

His 2007 performance had me in tears. GOAT

[@HurdRandy]

I'm sorry but they are no Marc Ornstein

[@neal5186]

Lmfao the coast guard

[@digitalsalsas]

Call me crazy, but this surpasses Ornstein in both creativity and execution... I was dazzled by the invisibility spin after the hat toss.

[@tricitiesair]

It was a shocking move but it really paid off with his RedBull sponsorship.

[@johnevatt518]

This surpasses Ornstein? Be careful sir,you're statement borders on sacrilege. Ornstein's moves on the water are like a ballet. His precision and grace cannot and will not ever be duplicated by mortal man. Good day sir

[@slob0516]

He calls that move "the outboard".

[@InvestorAcademyPodca]

You are crazy and hysterically funny at the same time. Cheap hat throwing tricks to buy off votes isn't what this sport is all supposed to be about!

[@how-4-2]

Invisibility spin i thought that was called the ghost ship

[@mbaladon]

I just cannot believe the referee didn't call foul on the stoppie @1:29 , we can't put the spectators in that level of danger. And I'm not even mentioning the illegal paraphernalia throw that followed it. It has all gone down since Ornstein took the crown in 2007. Shameful.

[@SJdanglerED]

Davy Crockett is the only person who can appreciate this tradition of boredom on the water, while waiting for a beaver to surface from a tent or from under water.

[@slob0516]

Solo competition? There is a team event? There are special freestyle paddles? I wonder if Marc ornstien is the judge of all these events?

[@chrisrandolph1970]

Listen to the oar of the crowd.

[@RachelLisa]

Thank you, Anita

[@Thebloodymile]

He can defend any coast with skills like that.

[@noahhoffman1519]

I am so excited about that turn at 1;26 my jaw dropped i almost spilled my tapioca pudding

[@letyouryesbeyesandnobeno1791]

I lost my marbles when he went flush with the water.

[@straightchillen15]

He's in my company!!!

[@yankee2yankee]

I LOVE IT! I've got 1000s of hours in a canoe, all flat-water, and I never heard of this before. Sounds like fun, in a genteel kind of way. Isn't the small audience lazing next to a lake, sipping wine and munching hors d'oeuvres? VERY civilized, and if you ask me, we should all try to be more that.

[@jdawgbroski]

Ummm, no.

[@ChristelVinot]

he's so cool

[@threedrainer]

Please let me know if someone has Anita's full performance.

[@Possumcods]

A person in a wing suit going 100+mph, 6' off the ground pooping balloons has nothing on this land locked pond pirate doing Donut's.

[@jdawgbroski]

Oh shit😂😂😂

[@claudioosorio5580]

Freestyle canoeing is the shit

[@SkyCoffin]

This is what happens when you get married and stop having sex.

[@alexisgros-louis2310]

Marc ORNSTEIN!

[@bleugate]

Pretty sure that’s really a hammered jack sparrow trying to paddle strait.

[@adammckay9109]

LETS FUCKING GOOOO

[@peadookie]

ESPN8: THE OCHO.

[@binitatrew1642]

Great workout.

[@bobtheborg]

He sure has a big belt. ARRRGGGG

[@halli_foot]

So did he win or what?!

[@noemimajer9360]

I should be sleeping but damn this is magestic af

[@SWATT101]

I'm going to give that a try.....one day lol

[@TokyoNightGirlLofi]

💞Wow💛💗💗💗💗💗💛

[@wfloes5420]

I like it!!!

[@felixgruhn9156]

Ozzyman made me come here to check if this sport real - Still have my doubts :D

[@chomonkey3177]

I had a really degrading comment about this , BUT ! then I saw ' THIS DRUMMERS AT THE WRONG GIG ' . . . . and I went there instead , awesome drummer !

[@datgorl7649]

FOR GRANDMA!

[@okw193]

i have a final tommorow why am i watching this

[@MrBigike76]

Did he mean to throw his pirate hat right before he made it look like a empty canoe was floating in the middle of the pond?

[@menjavlafitta]

TIL Freestyle Canoeing..

[@jarrodanstine6074]

Clearly pattles with pure desire, but jason vorhies would never alow such tom fuckery at crystal lake

[@Mxer724]

I caught Marc ornstein smashing groupies 1 time at the state finals.

[@markbranch4562]

Holy Shit !

[@lollisvideocreations6508]

Well done young man!!!

[@MM-ro6kw]

Lolli's Video Creations beautiful. Well done.

[@spektakelkd]

*golf clap* ( c ) the rest of the world

[@ricravier961]

I dialed 911 when he disappeared

[@eplepiken]

In a peaceful wold this would be in the olympics.

[@alandallmann5877]

I bet this guy gets sat on more than a toilet seat..

[@frankledford8096]

So I'm just still wondering ,,,,,why....did I miss something....what am I missing.. what am I not seeing,,a man paddles a canoe around in a pond and ,,,,what.... must be a magic show going on behind the person with a camera...

[@jamesbinns8528]

Frank, For those who paddle canoes, we understand the finese that is needed to do those moves. I suggest that you try to paddle a canoe while its gunnel is touching the water.

[@ChristelVinot]

I too am confused. But also intrigued.

[@christophermowatt4654]

I read he's Marc Ornsteins pupil

[@Trebolf]

I came here and watched the whole thing... Then I asked myself... What the fuck did I just watch.

[@sssssnek5350]

OMG this is like to toats my life now #IWantCanoeBabies Reccomened this to all my freinds, now they think I have coolness autism

[@carlholman2993]

Awesomtism

[@GreenDayHitman]

I got sent here cause i wanted to see some freestyle white water canoeing just disappointing awkward how i can do most of this in a kayak. Some parts are just uncomfortable if you try doing it in a kayak.

[@FLORIDALIFEFUN]

WTF DID I JUST WATCH??

[@oljimeagle]

You are obviously not a golfer.

[@johnevatt518]

You obviously have no appreciation for true art in its purest form

[@kathrynmboe]

Epic stache at 5:17

[@chax2004]

WTHF!!!! (What the holy f!@#)

[@benpravecek2418]

Yes but can you kickflip?

[@5weightrod]

I don't care how difficult this is, I'm embarrassed for him.

[@jameswmcmullen]

Apparently this is what canoersd do when they don't have any access to whitewater or surf. As a former C-1 paddler, I'm appalled.

[@anonymoushippopotamus3862]

What has become of me.....

[@Greenwelljb]

Anybody else here from tictok?

[@ChristelVinot]

no I'm from kayak georgia

[@SilojensenDK]

Canoe name: The Black Swirl.

[@ChristelVinot]

good one

[@joelalamo45]

Jack Sparrow watch out!

[@RobertXPhotography]

who's bright idea was this?

[@SRDXXF]

This pirate is no Ron Young. Good effort though.

[@maddmatt9239]

He is no Ornstein! Wasting time going into the service isn't going to help, he needs to concentrate on his craft!

[@ravingmad765]

I don't understand why there weren't more women throwing their underwear at him?
