2019 Green Race Winning Run [Course Record]

[@deepvoidd]

I took 2 white water kayaking lessons after watching your videos as well as Rush's old videos. It made me realized how out of shape I was. This is a tough but beautiful sport. You make it look so easy.

[@MikeySkywalker]

Of course Dane has the course record. Why wouldn't he? I swear I was watching this documentary about the Green Race and was thinking "I wonder if Dane has run this race?" I look up and the very next video is this one. Love it.

[@chaimmaddux5363]

a tip : you can watch movies at flixzone. Me and my gf have been using it for watching loads of movies these days.

[@yahirkairo5423]

@Chaim Maddux yea, I have been using flixzone} for since november myself =)

[@trwilliams22]

Efficiency, power, and accuracy. Thoroughly impressive. Looking forward to seeing the onboard video from your passes in the 2020 race.

[@eldril1009]

so fast at the start it almost look like on fast foward

[@barbelmike]

I think a wide angle lens gives the impression of increased speed. Not saying he's going slow tho!

[@restoringthetruth]

What horsepower is the motor on the back of that yak? Congratulations. Hard work hurts less on payday.

[@joeryan6863]

Class. Can't see a single backward stroke. Awesome skills, then again probably the best overall boater in the world currently. :D

[@danejacksonkayak]

There were one or two haha

[@hughcafritz3997]

It was so cool meeting you at the race! I got to finally meet my literal hero

[@danejacksonkayak]

Thanks! It was great to catch you too!

[@danielgelinas7141]

Smooth operator. You make it look easy!

[@Ranger_k16]

great run! it would've been sick if you tossed your paddle over the log at the end just to flex lol 🤙

[@danejacksonkayak]

If only i were that good

[@2LStews]

While the rest of us watch this in awe. How many times do you think Dane has watched this to see where he could improve?

[@danejacksonkayak]

A lot

[@crazykarlnow]

Hells yeah! Loved that boat for my last Grand self support trip! badass

[@crimetimewithjess5366]

I've watched so many other videos on this river and I'm in awe at how easy you make this look when i know it's anything but. What an amazing run. Congrats!

[@ToddVan21]

Poetry in motion! Smooth as hell man!

[@PNWwonder]

Well done! KZbin done me good bringing me to your channel.

[@MikeySkywalker]

Watching the documentary on the green race, and everyone got pounded by that one section. Dane goes through it like buttah! Sorry I'm from Boston what can I say.

[@Thomas-h4n5h]

Wow. Great run! Beautiful. ❤

[@Grand_Priest_Goku]

My arms feel tired from watching this

[@hunterkern7232]

He really grips the hell out of that black shaft

[@danejacksonkayak]

Tight as I can

[@billysomewhere9028]

Flawless. There needs to be two classes for the race. Dane vs. Personal times... then everyone else. Seriously.

[@BrokVoekler]

When you head into the flume in Gorilla, are you 100% certain that you're going to make it through that smooth, or is it kind of a crap shoot?

[@danejacksonkayak]

In terms of safety yeah I feel 100%, but as for having a fast race line. You can start finding ways to give yourself the best chance to have a smooth line, and it's mainly important to keep it straight. But there is still a bit of chance when it comes to the long boat, sometimes you hit the bounces just right, or sometimes you don't. It's a bit of both I guess.

[@whywouldntwe3]

Im not even sure the boat touched the water

[@BladePressure]

Image stabilization makes it look easier than it is.

[@danejacksonkayak]

yep thats what it is, don't give away my secret man haha

[@d0gmantra1]

Hot damn. That was a joy to watch.

[@josiatokirina1788]

Brilliant run, well done!

[@danielaurrutia9266]

Tremendo!! Que destreza en el agua!!!

[@ivycadle4117]

Damn that was clean and fast

[@cheskybaba4864]

DJ - That IS a perfect run, because no one has done it better. I love watching you carve those corners and maneuver that boat. Tell me, how exactly is the time kept? - Are timing devices fixed to your boats or person or is it simply two officials with synchronized stop watches?

[@Jashiwat]

This year redbull pitched in with timing devices on our lapels.

[@cheskybaba4864]

@@Jashiwat Thanks. It would be awesome if Redbull could put this live on their channel.

[@tankmaster1018]

@@danejacksonkayak Lmfao I still have to see that movie, didn't get a chance yet. Man I've gotta make it out to the Green Race next year just to see it even though I'm nowhere near that good at paddling. Hopefully I'll see you again at the Gauley Fest this year. Stay safe man, and awesome videos as always!

[@sticksstones8498]

I swear it looks like your arms are an avitar and Im watching some video game. So digital... So perfect. I watch your videos as well as your dads over and over. Sometimes I feel like I can paddle like you. Bahaha Dreaming Way to go dano

These guys make this look so easy.... yet I'd be turned into mush if I tried this.

"Course record" Yeah, because no other people dared to go into that water :D

[@danejacksonkayak]

I mean there were a few others haha

[@Jesusisthewayandtruth]

Well Dane it took you 4 minutes and something, I've done it in 3 minutes and 20 seconds. It was just me there though so no records of it. 🤣
