Well its been a while since crystal gorge has been running, the last day we ran the gorge, our buddy Anson came and filmed us. We attached a canon 5d mk2 in an underwater housing to my boat. It worked pretty well, he also hiked in and shot us on some of the other rapids with his red camera. Check it out.
Well now that it is officially "Jonesin" season, I go into a strange and mildly satisfying state where I spend the majority of my time watching kayaking videos on the internet. As good as going kayaking? Not at all..... But im hoping by watching these videos, I will get a slight feeling of what it actually feels like. I find myself perousing through videos I have seen before, even some that I have seen 10 times, watching them over and over to try and bring back that feeling we all love of being on the river, and running big rapids. I can't wait to get back in my boat.
As usual, Demshitz's videos are some of the best out there.
There couldnt be a favorite video playlist without Rush Sturges and YGp's vids
Rush and Tyler's New Film, Dream Result is gunna be sick!!! Those guys can make some videos!
Some Palouse Falls Action... World records are cool too.
Carnage at Cherry Bomb!!!
This is easily one of my favorite vids, The Demshitz crew down in chile in 07
I dont tend to watch my own video that much because after editing them, i know everything that happens, but hopefully you like them, here is a link http://www.vimeo.com/user741074/videos
As the season in Colorado winds down... well mainly after Crystal Gorge stops running, I result to working, hanging out with friends, working on my car... things a river gypsy would only do if there isn't any kayaking. But every summer there is one wave that calls me out of my "normalcy" and makes me go whitewater boat riding. This wave is called m-wave. It is one of the only times where I am slightly scared playboating. The speed of the wave combined with the shape makes it one of the most fun playspots around. It was Conor's birthday also so needless to say, we had to do some whitewater boat riding.
We arrived in the evening, and proceeded to do the first ever m-wave night sess using alex's truck to provide some light. Birthday brown. I'm pretty sure I ate shit here, but makes for a cool photo. Conor is really good at browning.
And backblunting... very nice!!
Jonny getting a little m-wave practice in before worlds. Yeah, he is good at kayaking. I didnt even know I could do that. Aerial BROWN!
