Good on you, Richard, for paddling the Payette. As anyone who's ever driven along it or especially as anyone who has paddled it knows, that river is no joke. I don't think I've even heard of anyone running the Milner Mile in a C-1, let alone an open boat. There aren't a lot of single-bladers out the...

Some large drops in PA . . .

Here is a photo of Don Smith in 2007 in the rapid on the NF Blackwater in which he died last week. He has just executed the boof and is exiting the "Rainbow Room" eddy. The log on which he drowned was almost two feet underwater in the upper left of the picture, in the run-out, halfway between Don (f...

That's what we call "Going FullDenialz!!"

Wow . . . glad you're okay, man! Didn't I see an upside down run on the Watauga also, from earlier this season? Stupid offside!

I think the best thing you can do is get your butt out of that Maxim!

Get yourself an Option or a L'Edge, my friend . . .

Great clip!

That is NOT a sweet clip! Too short!

I took the hardest hit I've ever had last weekend off a drop that was no more than 15 feet high (Double Indemnity on the NF Blackwater). I hit SO HARD. The sound was ringing in my ears -- it sounded like a gun had gone off all around me. I just sort of floated there for a minute, wondering what happ...

Nice work digging out of there!

Two different fingers!


Me to meth head: "Are you a landowner here?"

Meth head: "I own both sides of this F-ing river!!"

Jeremy: "I don't think that guy is a landowner anywhere."

I just wish I could have gotten his antics on video!

An eventful day for sure. One of the kayakers with us swam and broke his leg. We ended up at the ER. Not a good run to swim on, for sure.

Nice footage and paddling!

Some nice footage of Jay Ditty in there also.

This is a long-shot, but is anyone on here trying to sell a Cascade at Clearwater Sports in Vermont? It has been there for about ten years, and all they will tell me at the shop is that it was "someone from Connecticut." I don't even think they remember who, but I'm trying to get in touch with the o...

To my untutored eye, this looks like the lower section. Eli, Dooley, etc -- what was the level on this day? Man, there are some killer boofs on that river! My dream in the next six months is to take a southern boof-a-thon roadtrip . . . Watauga, West Prong, Big Creek, Upper Blackwater . . . what els...

Some great West Prong footage with Eli, Dooley, Mark Scriver, et al.

Between this and some of the other videos posted around here in the last few weeks, I am going to have to take a southern road trip here pretty soon!
