"Great flows, great times!" | GOPRO MOUNTAIN GAMES 2024

GOPRO MOUNTAIN GAMES 2024
GoPro Games 2024 gave us nearly a full weekend of epic weather, fantastic flows, and plenty of good times. Always a dope week to be back in Vail enjoying the food, events, and everything in between.
The games were a great opportunity to put the Epix Pro 2 from Garmin to test and see it's capabilities. Getting to try out the awesome features from simply tracking the race distances, metrics, to even checking the radar when the weather took a turn. Not only was all the data accurate, but all the usage over the weekend and my battery barely took a bump. It definitely didn't disappoint, and I am looking forward to seeing what more the watch can do!

In the sport of kayaking, the longer you do it the more you hear about or are affected by tragedy on the river. I am so sorry for your loss, but at the same time so happy to see you continue to push the sport and not give up. It's what Bren would have wanted, Rest in peace

[@RagingRapids311]

So sorry to hear about your friend RIP Bren

[@danejacksonkayak]

I appreciate that.

[@MachuDidgeridoo]

Bren was such an inspiration, so positive and community minded. I felt that when the news came out.

[@earth-2-ethan]

Thank you, Jackson family for always coming out to GoPro games! Was so cool to see your dad compete this year!

[@scratchinpassion9751]

cant wait for another vid, keep up the good work!

[@knaz7468]

So cool seeing your dad there shredding like always. I still have his instructional DVDs from 25+ years ago!

[@croissantlyman]

these higher flows have been seriously awesome this year, excited to see a different POV of them!

[@Grasshopper2]

Your videos are amazing, always fun to watch ⌚ 😂

[@macfawlty]

Very entertaining. Dominating freestyle and picking up an 8-ball win despite brutal battleship attack. Thanks for posting.

[@amye4087]

Yeah, I would up your step goal. Too funny. Funny you used an old boat. I would think if you didn't have want you needed, you could just walk into any store that has Jackson kayaks and borrow one. 😜 Nice job and congrats to the rest of the family. Thanks for taking us along.

[@ianjones1118]

Youre back! Stoked my Friday!

[@bughug4228]

Your video was nice to ⌚️ watch. Ps your Red Bull swag is awesome.!

[@realcrazystuntmen]

Loved this - felt like I was there! Congrats on the win legend

[@roboticz6317]

Dane, I love the stuff you do so much. Have you ran the upper cascades in Washington?

[@rogeru73]

I`m too old to start whitewater kayaking. Not sure if thats a good or a bad thing. Looks pretty scary 😅

[@michaelcarter3149]

Trust me your never too old. I helped a woman who was in he 60-70's empty her boat yesterday. She just learned to roll last week. Just find a local club and join. There are tons of you live in southeast.

[@rogeru73]

​@@michaelcarter3149 Thanks 🙂 I live in Norway. Lots of rivers, but its a bit far away to get enough time in the water to get a grip on it. So I think I`ll stick to sea kayak surfing and rock hopping. Thats also fun 🙂

[@ThatOldGuyYouKnow]

@@rogeru73 Norway is the best place in the world for whitewater kayaking! You have to get your self down the Sjoa, its got everything from class II to class V.

[@rogeru73]

@@ThatOldGuyYouKnow Yeah, I know we have great places for whitewhater here. But a bit far away for me 🙂

[@jackmannschreck726]

These look so fun I definitely gonna make the trip down to vail next year to catch these

[@danejacksonkayak]

You should!

[@joeyh5483]

Inspiring

[@thegolfdude]

Dane you been going to Vail since you were a baby. That's a creek homie.

[@big1dog23]

Fun to watch. I'll never forget when Eric was competing in the short lived "Gorge Games" on the Upper White Salmon I saw Dane in a play pen in diapers, lol. So much fun to follow his career and watch his videos. Are we gonna get some Cali footage this year?

[@user-bp9tk3jp7j]

have you ever tried slalom boats (just wondering im a slalom boater)

[@redheadedjohn]

you know you watch too many cliff diving videos when I see the thumbnail and think "dam, that's one hell of a jump ...oh wait its Dane"

[@danejacksonkayak]

😂

[@npaidas]

Hey Dane how does the epix compare to the Coros you had ?

[@brkinwrx6200]

what is the last one yall were doing? it was like a team race with defence? and how does the defence win or do they even win? what do i look up to learn more?

[@danejacksonkayak]

It’s called the 8 Ball race, basically a normally head to head, but there are other paddlers trying to run block and stop you from moving downstream.

[@jeffbanks8515]

Hey Dane, any chance you can film you and your dad kayaking together, I watched your dad win the freestyle pre worlds in 2000 and then the worlds in 2001 in Sort in the Pyrenees, be good to see if he still has it.

[@user-cp4gi6qh1t]

So stoked to watch you get the best score of the gopro games in freestyle, and me competing for the first time as a kid. I was in your video 3 times!

[@Chompchompyerded]

"Not going to check because ignorance is bliss!" Hahahahaha! Is there anyone who has done much kayaking and has not jumped into a boat that has been sitting around unused for awhile without looing to see what spiders, mousie poo, packrat nests and other accumulated questionable stuff is in it? Makes me laugh because that's absolutely something I've done many times. I'm always amazed at people who can do playboat tricks one after the other and have it all look good. I would wipe out on the first attempted flip. Just so fun to watch people do it so easily, and even in a hole like that with it's weird undercurrents. It's like watching really good gymnasts going through a really challenging floor routine. I've done a lot of paddling, but the best I can do is an ender. Kinda worthless because I can also stand a boat on it's tail in slack water too. When you know what it takes, it makes it all the more exciting to watch. There are obviously some very good kayakers out in that hole. Definitely a cut above. Was good to see better levels. I remember that last year, after the games, it turned into more of a hike than a paddle, and it was ugly low even for the games. They were putting big plywood boards in the river in hopes of making the pour overs deep enough to get through. Probably not the right place to say it, especially since he never that I know of was at the Rocky Mountain Games, but I still miss Bren. Dane, congratulations not only on all your wins at Vale, but also on your marriage. I hope it will be a long and happy one!

[@timmy2015]

Hi Dane, Is there a great falls race this year?

[@danejacksonkayak]

I believe so! I think its August 16th

[@lordofnothing.]

hopefully you got a good chunk of money for that Garmin ad. (which btw, technically needs to be declared as ad placement for viewers in the EU)
