"Truly one of the GREATEST rivers!" | UPPER CHERRY

UPPER CHERRY
There are few rivers as iconic as Upper Cherry, especially the classic Cherrybomb gorge. Anyone that has their eyes on paddling in Cali Upper Cherry is always high on their list. It is often hard to believe the run even exists, with how clean it is from top to bottom. Endless mini slides, classic boofs, sick drops. Not only that but it has one of the best campsites in Cali on it. It has it all, and I was stoked to get these guys in there to blow their minds!

Every time I see a video with Bren in it, it brings tears to my eyes. He will be missed by so many.

[@amye4087]

So glad Bren is getting to experience all this fun as that means double videos. Missing Adrian this summer though. Hope he is doing ok. Thanks for another awesome experience. Glad you show some of the not so perfect things as long as all is ok but just to remind us that this is hard. You all have just put in so much time to make this look easy when we know it isn't. Also thanks for letting us know how long these hikes are taking you. Just adds to the journey for us too.

Your videos put a smile on my face because I see the Joy you get from wwk.

[@juttaweiss9560]

so wonderful to watch !!!! THANK YOU

[@gdtobyvegito5059]

I always love to see Upper Cherry! It's one of my favorite rivers to watch!

[@derekgordillo3087]

So Radical! Dane your the man and I greatly appreciate your efforts when it comes to putting out these videos. I'd be lost without them. Shakikiki 🤙

[@epincion]

Good to see Bren breaking his cherry on the Upper Cherry. Such a beautiful river and gorges. Dane thanks so much for sharing the experience

[@Chompchompyerded]

Jeez that's epic. Definitely worth the walk through all the skunk cabbage, Queen Anne's lace, and assorted brush. Head back in another five million years and it will be a deep canyon. Parts of it already are getting there. Food is crunchy on the outside, juicy on the inside. Who cares what Gordon thinks. Yabba dabba doo! What an idyllic place to camp! I've heard of snow kayaking, but rock kayaking? That's just... No words. This video has to be one of the best of the year. There can't be more than a couple of handfuls of kayakers in the world who could pull this off as well as these guys. Simply amazing abilities on display.

[@craigsanders6925]

An amazing place, thanks for sharing it!!

[@samueldirs8386]

The line at 3:28 was soooooo satisfying to watch. The way you held it over that slide was fantastic!

[@catchedknoopers]

Absolutely amazing, Bucket list stuff right there

[@patricktracy4371]

Im with Team River Runner, and I love watching these videos, spicy for me but some of the lads would enjoy.

[@user-xm3iy6ht1z]

Enjoyed it! What a great river. 😊

[@big1dog23]

[@danejacksonkayak]

Man, you are living the Dream!

[@arlie505]

so unbelievably awesome!

[@danejacksonkayak]

🙌

[@jakedixon9615]

That hike from Bourland Meadow trailhead is my favorite way to dip into Cherry. I’d be stoked as hell to run into your crew in the backcountry. I bushwhacked those same bushes and camped where y’all crazy mofos put in. Cherry and West Cherry are the shiznit. My mind is blown that y’all fux with these waters.

[@yetigonecrazy]

What an absolute dream of granite and water. Any Kibbie Creek on this trip??

[@topolino6756]

dane' s very strong💪

[@TheJfizzle11]

Sick video

[@danejacksonkayak]

Appreciate it!

[@darkustomerlinus]

How many times can you go down those granite rocks without making a hole in your kayak?

[@whitewater6901]

You need to do Fordyce creek ...donner pass area , 21 mi. 21 water falls 20 ft. Falls ....cheers ❤

[@Solokayaker888]

Thanks for the "Cherry Bomb" Killer.

[@user-so1mv9po2f]

Exstream kayaking is one of the highest acheivements of mankind

[@damselinflight]

sick video 🔥...what are the grips on the paddle? Batting tape?

[@danejacksonkayak]

It’s electrical tape. Other tapes like batting tape, hockey tape, feels nice when it’s dry but is super slippery when wet.

[@damselinflight]

@danejacksonkayak ! that's super smart...I might try it, thank you.

[@cheskybaba4864]

Dane - you must go through plenty of kayaks, sliding them down those dry rock slides. Ever worry about the bottoms getting too thin?

[@danejacksonkayak]

In terms of California they can definitely get abused with all the slides and stuff but one thing that’s great about Cali is the rocks are super smooth

[@johnrflinn]

Recommended drysuits for this cold water?

[@danejacksonkayak]

Even though the weather is hot, you spend so long on the water and the water is cold enough it's worth being safer and wearing one.

[@paksaokayaking4234]

Run it in a pink flow!! 😮😮😮

[@acousticfixation]

Or the antix 🤯

[@why.reason]

Hello! I apologize to you right away, I don’t speak English well, so I can write with errors... I would like to know more about the kayak, what kind of kayak you use to go down such dangerous roads. Because I also want to get involved in this sport/hobby, I’m looking for a good kayak. I hope you understand me and can respond to my comment😅

[@edouardvachon821]

What size gnarv do you paddle

[@danejacksonkayak]

I use the medium

[@user-cp4gi6qh1t]

will you post the gopro games

[@danejacksonkayak]

Didn’t end up getting around to filming it this year. Next year!

[@patrickwilliamson29]

I've seen gordan Ramsey cook and tbh I think your steak better

[@Doggie_Style_Sex]

I’m prepping to do the first river board descend this next year. I’ll be on a customized Fluid Anvil.

[@acousticfixation]

Have you taken Bren down the green?

[@danejacksonkayak]

He’s run it a number of times but I haven’t been in it with him since 2012. He did the 2016 green race though.

[@paksaokayaking4234]

So cool, I was just curious. I haven’t seen any footage yet. Thanks for responding!!!
