I grew up n Bend. I love that river and the park it runs through. If I walk home from school I would cross it.

[@3RiversPaddlers]

This is a well done video, really pulls you into the rush of fast moving water.

[@TruckHouseLife]

Thank you!

[@jennielait8566]

That was an awesome ride along. Talking bout holding on to the edge of your sit 😂😅😅😂

[@gringo3009]

I can't be the only one who ducked to go under the log....

[@MatthewBrookKayaking]

Love the video! Cool watching folks enjoying the river!

[@johnpeddicord4932]

Enjoyed Timmy 😊

[@matkas100]

Love that run! Paddled it for the first time back in 2004. I wish they had play waves built back then!

[@TruckHouseLife]

Nice Matt!

[@jkxtc2016]

That looks like alot of fun...very cool rapids...good flow nice run...👍

[@kimprocarione5473]

Very cool! I've never seen anything like this! The Truckee River going through the town of Truckee has a cool section at the bridge for kayakers. Truckee is in California on the way to Tahoe.

[@gannonw]

Looks like super fun read n run boogie!

[@detour7790]

What a fun ride.

[@daneboro6847]

[@garrisoncummins7812]

You are very good at this kayaking thing. The places you go to are so beautiful.

[@Kayakerlife84]

Yes I would!!!!

[@tylerk24]

Looks like fun Timmy! But I just have an inflatable kayak lol!

[@jackierandall2230]

A beautiful place raft not outrageous or dangerous.like they say watch your back!!!!

[@Jarekthegamingdragon]

lol, of course people would do this. It's Oregon, this isn't an unusual thing to do here.

[@mikemontenza4456]

I whitewater kayak and would love it

[@christimarie402]

❤️crazy 🤣

[@quikkyle601]

Haha I rode my SUP down that a couple weeks ago

[@Axemanvan]

Low water mc= scratch’s galore

[@1stVARifleman]

Did you not keep the new Jackson Gnarvana? I just got one, but have only paddled it once so far. My favorite creek boat before I got the Gnarvana was a Jackson Nirvana.

[@jimg7784]

Looks fun and I’d give it a try but I don’t think there is much white water in Texas to kayak.

[@blueman5924]

Way too bumpy and skinny for my innertube. 😂 🤙

[@noblejennette2101]

Some guys have all the money. Wait, I mean luck. No, no, wait, I meant money.

[@TruckHouseLife]

lol I wish

[@WVWes]

Nice run Tim! Did you get any east coast runs in on your trip?

[@TruckHouseLife]

Not this round

[@WVWes]

@@TruckHouseLife you do so much cool stuff it’s hard to get it all in!

[@adventurekid9242]

Pleasantly surprised and disappointed at the same time. Great footage and looks like a great run but the title through a city I was expecting broken down trains hobos and boofing a submerged car or something... Nevertheless great video I say this in fun. I wish I had a run like that in the city I live close to

[@djd1269]

The “city” is Bend in eastern Oregon! A gorgeous ski town, mountain bike, hiking, fishing etc on the east side of Cascades!😊

[@bucky716]

I'd do that! If I knew how to paddle.

[@BrokVoekler]

You can pay for a guided rafting trip.

[@ahilbilyredneksopinion]

Yall make me wanna go spend a couple thousand ona new creekin yack.....yer channel is dangerous. Lol

[@TruckHouseLife]

[@ahilbilyredneksopinion]

@@TruckHouseLife I tried, the wife sed NO! 😔

[@Dstardubbin]

Nice! Who made that paddle?

[@TruckHouseLife]

Jim Snyder (Jimistyx / Rivrstyx )

[@Dstardubbin]

@@TruckHouseLife Cheat River represent! That's what I thought. Good stuff!

[@andrewmyers372]

Curious if you know the CFS the day your ran it?

[@TruckHouseLife]

About 1,300

[@andrewmyers372]

@@TruckHouseLife thanks. I am moving back to the area soon. I have heard that some people run it lower than the recommended levels. But this is the first evidence I have seen of that.

[@justin_other_kayaker]

What boat are you in here? Looks uncommon.

[@TruckHouseLife]

Eskimo salto

[@justin_other_kayaker]
