Why Do We Fall? (Gnarnivores Tallulah Fest 2016 Entry Video)

Why do we fall? So that we can learn to pick ourselves back up. Not everyone in this video got back up quickly, but they did get back up. (The sound was removed on the 2nd song. Trying to get it back up)
Includes rafting carnage on the Ocoee River, Tallula River, Youghiogheny River, Gauley River, Chattahoochee River, Chattooga River, North Chickamauga Creek, and Tellico River.
Music:
Really Slow Motion - Your God Is Dead
Delta Rae - Bottom of the River

How many idiots can you fit in a raft? Answer: "All of them!" Fun film ;-)

[@stevethomas760]

Great work! I used to have a set but I've grown older and I think that my "set" would float like two corks. "The older I get the better I was".

[@jamesmignin9839]

That was a greasy line down the right until yall ejected....glad homegirl got unpinned that looked really bad!

[@anonymousperson8259]

Yes sir!

[@gibby6996]

Anyone know where that was.

[@slipknotalabama]

@@gibby6996 Tallulah. Right side of Oceana.

[@gibby6996]

@@slipknotalabama thanks bud!

[@Pete_R63]

Woohoo! I've done 4 of the 8 rivers listed. Ocoee, Gauley, Chattooga, and Chattahoochee. I recognized some of the locations. Just gave me an idea of 4 other rivers to raft. Great stuff.

[@thelasttimeitookashowerwas7069]

are these all kinda trained ones? coz these look insanely dangerous to the newbies

[@BeasoreBilly]

Most of the rapids in this video flush the swimmers out instead of recirculating them. They only recirculate things that float on the top current.

[@laisf.fernandes9890]

Look fun af

[@GeocachingJoy]

Been watching loads of rafting and kayak runs on all sorts of crazy water since enjoying our rafting experience down the Chattoga River with NOC a few weekends ago. We were ready after that beginner run, plus another beginner run trip at another location years ago to start thinking about taking it up a notch. Our NOC guide actually does the Tallulah Gorge Event and is a good friend of mine JJ, and why your awesome video caught my attention.. After watching your video with these crazy turnovers and a few that didn't end well in another video, I am really second guessing taking it up a notch. LoL

[@namasivayamsiva8234]

Amazing performance

[@homefront3162]

Amazing vid!, thank you!!

[@crimetimewithjess5366]

Looks amazing 😍

[@freddigreen5143]

Wow freaking Wow!!

[@christianodom1244]

Great vid. Whats the song starting around 3:05 in the video that starts just after that harsh rescue attempt?

[@Gnarnivores]

The song is "Bottom of the River" by Delta Rae.

[@christianodom1244]

+Gnarnivores thank you.

[@eliw.7226]

looks like where they filmed Deliverance

[@Pete_R63]

Part of it was the river they filmed Deliverance on, the Chattooga.

[@jamesvislosky6722]

Geeze these are some pretty scary holes

[@Ajaxaxxess]

Water has never looked so painful

[@speeder741]

just saw the run of pillow lets link up and boat new or gauley come to the Upper Yough

[@Gnarnivores]

Yea, we usually come up there for Gauley Fest. Hopefully we will see up there.

[@anthonypayne2526]

Where the hell is that rock slide??? My god that looks dangerous! Gauley River, 2003ish, Sweet’s Falls - boat folded in half, all three of us on the right sucked out, guide ended up on his ass in the middle of the raft. Dude up front and me in the back both went under the raft and down river. My mom, in between us, got sucked into the hydraulic as my wife and dad watched helplessly. 3 rafts came over Sweet’s before anyone saw my mom again. Everyone not in the water completely freaking out. She popped out eventually, beat up but alive. Dad and my wife were absolutely not ok after that. The guide was completely gutted after that, and imo never really composed after that. I had no idea any of it was happening until I got back in the boat. We own the vhs of the incident, and it’s horrible to watch, even after the fact knowing my mom is ok.

[@GeocachingJoy]

Wow I just started watching several videos of rafts and kayaks doing some incredible runs all around the world after enjoying the beginning section of the Chattoga River with NOC a few weekends ago. Our rafting experience was awesome and got us thinking that we were ready to go to the next level. Watching some of these turnovers makes me somewhat rethink that decision. Glad everyone was OK.

[@thedrummersclub3667]

Is this on the Ocoee River? Georgia? Tennessee? Looks deadly to me

[@ylisvauhdis1270]

Is the fall at 0:57 natural? Looks like natures own water slide.

[@classicjag76]

Ylis Vauhdis yep. That's Oceana on the Tallulah River in NE Georgia.

[@tyrionlannister4331]

Was Oceana the Deliverance rapid? Footage is nuts

[@Gnarnivores]

No, but it is close to the area where Deliverance was filmed. Yeah, Oceana is insane.

[@whaleshrimp111]

Tourists getting knocked around! Looks like they are really enjoying themselves.

[@johnrflinn]

I'll take my chances with a K1.

[@folta.mark64]

wow - too much power for me. not worth losing your life for. i'll stick to class III and respect the water

[@Kusunoky]

What is class lll ? Rafting in normal waters

[@davidgoins1785]

epic!

[@gardogg65]

Best carnage video compilation EVER wow great job!

[@patricksullivan7177]

sqwid no

[@matthewmurphy9869]

Love u so much u bring me joy

[@fishfoolishness4222]

So the raft that flips the most wins?

[@RRBuilder611]

river at 0:59?

[@Gnarnivores]

+[YourName] It's the Tallulah River in Georgia.

[@vladimirkraus1438]

How many dead?

[@janetmyers4149]

How many survived that vs how many didn't? I went rafting once in my life. Never again.

[@LiamRoberts-jx8ez]

In this video everyone definitely survived

[@jpedu205]

Where is it, pls?

[@andreas956]

I need to understand. Are these videos, amatures out of their depths? or just maniacs who wants to put themself in tought spots for the giggles?

[@greywolf8116]

These mattresses are not adapted absolutely not for rafting! Catamaran this best means for rafting!

[@DilbiWilber]

Now THIS, is a sport!

[@nedludd8633]

because our heads are not where our feet are

[@Adamtfrank]

Holy sheeeeeet😮

[@TheRealTedBaird]

Hahaha Amazing

[@jimmyelsen4787]

What’s the rapid at 1:00

[@Gnarnivores]

Oceana on the Tallulah River in Georgia

[@jimmyelsen4787]

Gnarnivores thanks! Love the carnage keep it up👍👍

[@kingrat812]

The title of the video should be "Why do we WALLACE!!!"

[@austinsmith7257]

Love the story behind that!

[@tplummer217]

2:01 what a cluster!

[@Patriotic327]

Most of those gotta be class 4. Not for newbies. Which I’m getting interested in lol.

[@aflockofbeagles8219]

Gee, that looks super fun 🙄

[@nydarkfern]

HOLY. SHIT.

[@Livscorner1]

Wow just!!!

[@chapsteronetime2000]

You guys n gals are just plain nuts

[@speeder741]

you come to the gauley?? lets boat sometime

[@bjolly8924]

One of the best carnage montages in years, nailed it with the sound track!!

[@cryptochainbreaker864]

A thousand ways to die... (1 through 400) Be safe ;)

[@MrRedberd]

This is fun!

[@beaurenov]

NOT

[@robidarusman6604]

Hahahaa nice.... I like....

[@vuanisimov]

👍

[@ferrisbueller4607]

Nice edit

[@matsfreedom]

Some of those hydraulics are killers and should not be paddled by anyone. Whats the point?

[@davefieldhouse5119]

Yup I’d rather walk thanks

[@blorgo7960]

And the tiny ship was tossed.

[@chrisucher9475]

4:15 this dude went diving

[@hunterstephenson8429]

Love it great carnage

[@nickd4363]

Are any of these people dead? They must be... Can companies rent rafts to beginners who feel like trying class V rapids?

[@Gnarnivores]

Haha, no, none of these people died. The only ones that had any injuries whatsoever were the ones in the clips at 2:50 and 4:00, and these injuries were minor.

[@Jangle2007]

Were any of these rapids Cl V?

[@Gnarnivores]

The only Class V in the video is Oceana on the Tallulah River at 0:58 and 2:38.

[@Jangle2007]

Oceana looks *relatively* benign if you avoid pitoning the rock on river center-right most way down.

[@TKM11370]

Oceana, to this day, is one rapid I would never run, even when I was at my best. Looks horrific if you get it wrong!

[@toszter]

Revenge of the tiny raft.

[@kreese38]

My dont that look fun

[@mcpheonixx]

Six flags over neoprene!!!

[@daled8221]

There has to be a better design than these helium corks!

[@jamescobrien]

Funny

[@richardkandalec4128]

And this is supposed to be fun????? B.S.

[@RenoLaringo]

A bit disturbing to see how many humans so easily put their very life at risk for a few seconds of ''fun''. Can't imagine what would happen if someone got caught and pinned under those waves...

[@chrisbrewer4285]

it has happens and its a chance you take

[@mitchellgiebler3396]

paddle rafts are way to light oar frame it and put some weight and momentum behind it come out and get some experience

[@ADVENTUREKM]

Looks like fun? . . . . . . . NOT!
