Glad the actual whitewater footage could at least play a small part in a video about running whitewater...

[@katherinewheatcroft3617]

What a group. You should be front page of all Newspapers round the world. An amazing feat. Well done ALL of you. Breathtaking.

[@kiwitalkspodcast]

these people have my respect for what they're doing salute to you all 🤚

[@chicklechives]

That's another level guys. Awesome.

[@hotelhimalayanvacation4222]

Most challenging adventure trip I have ever watched. Some rivers from Nepal also boast almost the same grade of difficulties.

[@Twitch0331]

I respect the desire to put in the story surrounding the trip; however, I for one would like to see the ratio of whitewater:story to be 90:10 instead of 10:90. More river running, less storytelling.

В самом начале один план с водой - шедевр. Заставил замереть. Респект!

A very dangerous river,,congratulations,,live is great

[@kayakuchi2023]

Love Nouria

[@epicshangrila]

Wow

[@seanbaskett5506]

The Tsangpo Gorge is without a doubt the most isolated, dangerous river on the planet. There are stretches of rapids in the lower gorge (after that huge scour/blowout event years ago) that God himself would have to portage.

[@dougdavis8986]

Cool. Did you kayak it?

[@seanbaskett5506]

@@dougdavis8986 Oh Jesus, no. No way would I ever attempt the Tsangpo. It would be absolute suicide.

[@bp968]

Some pretty poor post work on that video. The captions were being clipped on both the left and the right, and in a few parts the video itself was being clipped as well. Some good footage you just need to pay more attention to the editing process and to the QC process at the end before release.

[@theluisbauer]

Yes, I totally agree!

[@bp968]

@@theluisbauer just looked at your videos, enter your France video! It crushes this one!

[@theluisbauer]

@@bp968 thanks mate. Appreciate it!

[@leelaughton3767]

Its free to view, its not like you just paid premium dollars to watch it.... Personally I didnt have any issues watching it and all captions were fine....

[@shinkareff]

Всё отлично, только немного странно, что для такого уникального фильма взяли чужое название, которое настолько часто используется, что стало штампом. В остальном, работа великолепная. Респект!

Big up olaf

[@louie99999]

That's a lot of water!

[@Sharks545]

How deep would the water be?

[@rahulbhandari2115]

How much time it takes to learn kayaking to run this river

[@SexyDoritos176]

My only complaint is the watermark shoulda not covered the subtitles like they did

[@TimCaruso26]

SONG???

[@rafamellijo]

The Music that play anyone know?

[@2650033]

What is the SONG????

[@newsenjopir7386]

River name?

[@rahulbhandari2115]

Which song is this

[@solsurfer1558]

[@Chompchompyerded]

That's not big water. That's death water. That river has homicide on it's mind, and it wants to cancel everyone's contract for the following season.

[@ralphaverill2001]

I'm sure the locals appreciate the paydays, but one wonders what the natives, especially the older ones, think of the westerners that come to risk death climbing mountains, and now others paddling little plastic boats down raging mountain rivers. I guess to some, life without adrenaline just isn't worth the trouble.

[@tomsinclair1264]

Puts a little chocolate into their vanilla, I suspect.

Santa pacha bendita

[@capricornstar9803]

What’s with the Mongolian throat music at the start ? Lol.

[@tha-yina-sho]

Maybe because this video was filmed in Tibet? As throat singing is also practiced in Tibetan culture.

[@channeltranscend]

The video was good...We created a cinematic video too anyone can check it out if they like and let us know how was it...

[@theweekendscuts]
